This is your regular reminder- you’re not crazy, men can’t become women, women can’t become men. We should respect people with genuine gender dysphoria, and be polite to them.
But even a casual Google of sex-reassignment surgery reveals a horror show of denied hopes. Medical science simply has not developed a penis for women, nor a vagina for men. Biology eludes this. Grafting a bit of skin from someone’s arm simply won’t manufacture a working penis.
And - apologies to the nice post-op lady who took me through all the changes- a neo-vagina simply isn’t a vagina. The supporting organs, which create the natural flora, are not there. Not to mention the fact that the walls are not the same.
You might think “James, isn’t it a bit odd for you to be putting yourself out there stating the bleeding obvious”? But it’s really not the “bleeding obvious” for a lot of people.
Most people, in the real world, when they think of “trans” people, genuinely think of “post-op” trans people. And they think “oh, the poor lads” (and it’s always about the lads)... “how mentally ill do you have to be to want your cock chopped off?”
Nobody really gets the fact that to be trans, nowadays, you don’t have to get your cock chopped off at all. You just say “ere, I’m a woman” and everyone has to treat you as if you’re a woman. Even if you’ve fiddled a load of kids and are in prison for raping a 7 year old boy.
The whole “trans” movement has got caught in the gay movement. So “trans” now is somehow the equivalent of “gay”. And being “pro trans” is the equivalent of being “pro gay..” And lots of well-meaning gay-allies are now somehow trans-allies, and that’s not good.
I’ll digress to point out that a woman who’s a gay ally, who fought for gay marriage (I’m looking at you, Ireland) and women’s abortion rights (again, Ireland) is entitled to draw a big strong line where it comes to “trans issues” without being called names.
Sexuality is not gender identity. The fight for gay men and lesbians to be recognized under the law in Ireland was a necessary fight. A just fight. A great fight. And it was won, and it was joyous. We all celebrated.
A woman’s right to decide what to do with her body was a necessary fight, a just fight, a great fight, won, joyous, celebrated.
But now- hang on a second- if we’re to be considered “proper Irish Feminists” we apparently need to now consider the “trans community”? Okay... but let’s step back and consider this.
Should Irish feminism include men? Because no trans person shoehorning himself into Irish feminism has “had the chop”. Lookit, it mightn’t be the most polite way of saying it, but every single one of the “trans” fellas that have popped up in Irish life in the last 2 years...
... is a fella.
Taking a spot on the Irish Women’s Council- WHY? Aren’t there enough fellas councils, dominated by fellas, that a fella might get onto? What’s wrong with THESE lads?
Well, they don’t care about women, and they don’t care about gay people. They quite like lesbians, but that’s only because they want to BE lesbians and coerce women who like women into having sex with their “lady-dicks” in the most stunning, appalling, rapey, gaslighty trick EVER
“Transphobia” is a nonsense dreamed up by guys who want to gaslight lesbians into having sex with them.
And also used by unfortunate young lesbians who’ve been browbeaten by the patriarchy into thinking they’re actually male. Because of course you can’t have power in this society unless you’re male.
Yep. Said it.
"Transphobia" is an absolute nonsense. Nobody, but NOBODY, minds the poor lads and lasses that get their cocks chopped off and their voice boxes bolloxed and their fertility ruined forever. Everyone just feels extremely sorry for someone who has mental issues that go that far.
Now, what everyone DOES mind, is the notion that small children, who don't have the ability to consent, would consent to a life of anorgasmia, infertility, and humiliation (tiny pre-pubescent penises).
Worried that your child might be gay? Get some f**king help yourself. Let your child develop, grow goolies, grow boobies, fill with hormones, be awful. That's what humans are designed for. Not to be kept in some awful suspended state, never to grow strong in brawn and bone.
The whole trans movement right now is an anti-gay movement. "Trans away the gay." Do you have a boy who likes Barbies- oh he must be a girl. A girl who likes trains- must be a boy. Whatever happened to "I am me and I love me, and my body is mine and it's beautiful."?
Why must we medicalise (potential) homosexuality? "I'm a boy who likes Barbies- oh quick let's get you on hormones in case you turn into a man." "I'm a girl who likes trains- Oh quick let's get you on hormones because you're clearly a man and we can't have you become a woman."
The world has always been filled with boys who like Barbies and girls who like trains, and it hasn't always treated them with respect, but the solution isn't to f**king stop their puberty! To give them drugs that will leach the strength out of their bones and leave them damaged .
The solution is to change the world, so every child can aspire to be what he or she wants to be- an astronaut, a train driver, a fashion designer, a milliner- without the child having to change one thing about his or her perfect body. Because every child is born in a perfect body
... it's our society that needs to adapt. xx
