trans exclusion does harm against women
Vitriol Valerate, Issue No. 9
trans-exclusionary ideology, seeing itself as the truest and foremost doctrine within radical feminism, while protective of women who wish not to gather near mtf transsexuals, is indeed harmful in its hopes that all other feminists ought to follow after it as such, and shunning women who donโt.
let me make one thing overwhelmingly clear, the following rhetoric iโm about to describe is undeniably sexual harassment.
the only way any we can parse terfish reasoning for it in a way that could even begin to make any sense is by assuming that an ally first must be attracted to trans women before being an ally. even though some might think this is sensible, i think itโs utterly wrong. itโs more than reasonable to guess that being an ally to trans women does not in itself mean that someone must be attracted to trans women. does it follow that a gay and a lesbian may have solidarity toward each other out of any feelings of romantic or sexual desire? of course not! that is ridiculous. but would it otherwise follow that an attraction toward trans women means that men and women who are chasers arenโt transphobes? no! that is also ridiculous. so it is ridiculous to conflate any solidarity toward another group of people with attraction. some women who are not attracted to us can be the best and most trustworthy allies we have, while chasers can be the most transphobic toward us by the filthiest of minds and the most objectifying of thoughts toward us.
we also canโt let the truth out of our sights that the accusations of being gamps/chasers are willfully aimed by terfs against other women, they hardly care even to notice any male attraction toward trans women, thatโs just men being men, but it comes to them as quite a nasty shock when a woman is in love with any mtfs. the attitude is generally that men are gross lechers that would fuck anything that moves, and i canโt say i fully disagree with it ( iโve seen stories of men trafficking and raping animals, literally to death even ), but thatโs not the issue weโre talking about. the issue weโre talking about is the deep feelings of shock and disgust toward any woman who is not grossed out by trannies, so then she must have some gross erotic or romantic fixation. this is their meaning, that any woman whose sexuality is unlike theirs, or, for the sake of taking better aim, a woman who theyย maybe even wrongfully think may be attracted to a group theyโve deemed disgusting, more so than against bisexual or straight women about actual cis men.
attraction to us trannies is even more gut-wrenching to them in their minds than the foundation of knowledge they have on men at the heart of the radical feminist movement, and the idea is to shame and disenfranchise women with that kind of attraction โ or women with any political solidarity which they see fit to draught as being the same as such attraction โ to be driven away from any currents that take the name of radical feminism, as with anastasia, moreover as with teri strange ( yea, i know who she is ). this shaming and disenfranchising women with other sexualities and other political thoughts about mtfs is none other than a calculated attack against them and their sexualities AS WOMEN, by the hands of those calling themselves radical feminists. their work at driving away women with other sexualities and convictions about mtfs from the radical feminist talks on their rights as women is being done by the hands of those who say that all women should have a place in all conversations about their rights as women.
it is hypocrisy to go telling the world that you have the right to have your own sexuality as a woman respected and included and then to behave this way, by shaming and excluding women with ideas and sexualities that arenโt the same as yours.
and this behavior is telling of a tendency among gcโs and terfs to treat women who are neutral or loving toward mtfs as though they are rotten women or arenโt truly women. this is reminiscent of some quotes iโve heard being attributed to monique wittig, about the way that lesbians are seen as unlike women in the eyes of society. indeed, it is a mindset that takes shape lastly as an attack against their identities as women, that the only other way a woman would speak up for the inclusion of mtfs within the sake of feminism is if she isnโt actually a woman, but an mtf impersonating a woman to โinvade feminist spacesโ.
despite their irksome never-ending line that โyou canโt change sex,โ ( o, but please keep pretending that i think i can, we know itโs all youโve got making your propaganda, which is as obvious and foreseeable as a frost in december ) this could only be an attempt at revoking a womanโs female status on the basis of ideology, because no TRUE woman would be neutral or accepting toward mtfs. are we setting social expectations over the beliefs of women on the basis that they are female? but i thought we were all gender abolitionists.
so as for women who are accepting or loving of mtfs or at least not so trusting toward gc or terf ideology and rhetoric, gcโs and terfs would tell them that they are rotten women, or would even go as far as to say they arenโt even women at all.
because gcโs and terfs see their hate movement as the one true womenโs liberation front, they make hatred toward mtfs as something of a natural part of being a woman or synonymous with being a woman, so women who choose not to follow their doctrine are rotten perverts or mtfs, or they just donโt know better, with closer aim and disgust than toward women who accept male supremacy and anti-abortion, to such length that theyโd willfully write anti-abortion as a lesser threat to women and their rights than those fucking trannies and their taint-sniffing dickriding secret tranny-spy allies. if anyone here is trying to erase and degrade women on the basis of ideology, itโs gcโs and terfs.
all this to define women who are tolerant toward mtf transsexuals into a lesser category of women to be made as outcasts, who have no place within radical feminism, to lump women who are tolerant of mtfs into the same categories as those who are attracted to mtfs, and then into the same category as those who are mtfs themselves, not counted as women, to be mocked and excluded from a movement that claims to love and welcome all women, as though they arenโt truly women despite being female. such a sour note. after all this writing, even now, i struggle to find words that are most fit to spell out this farce. and thatโs what it is, itโs making a farce of a revolutionary struggle that is meant to unite and welcome all women, by playing the reactionary who calls other women unworthy and degenerate, while taking the name of revolutionaries who united women in their struggle for womenโs liberation, and not just the ones who hate trannies, revolutionaries like andrea dworkin.
on a somewhat related note, i do remember there being a faction of amerikan feminists in the 1970โs who tried to convince other feminists that lesbians were to have no place in the feminist struggle. this is just a little reminder, that targeting other women on a basis of their presumed sexuality is a form of misogyny, pushing out the idea that women do not necessarily have the right to respect and inclusion if they have they have any sexuality deemed wrong, or are too skeptical of their perfect line held by others, therefore theyโre not even to be seen as women. as radical feminists, this should come to be seen as shameful to your name.
iโll be the first to say that even if a woman is fully head-over-heels for mtfs, and even if she still goes on hating terfs and unflinchingly reading hentai about f*t*n*r* and femboys ( iโve known a few ), i believe that she still would be much better off having the right education and understanding on how the world oppresses her and shames her as a woman, and i believe she is entitled to the rights that she dearly needs as a woman, and she has every bit as much right to be part of the revolutionary feminist struggle for winning her rights and freedom as any other woman, regardless of whom she loves, because she is a woman. and every terf who shouts otherwise is as good as any low-hanging apple for any anti-feminist who seeks to tell everyone that โradical feminismโ is a bigoted hate movement that hates not only mtfs, but also any women who even have any doubts about hating mtfs as well.
because some of you think that itโs more important to make radical feminism about your own freedom to hate trannies than about womenโs freedom to be friends instead, and that fact has shown itself slight as day the from the time we saw gcโs praising matt walsh, a self-avowed traditionalist and anti-abortionist, as an โhonorary feministโ, on the basis that he also hates trannies.
we have a lot of cleaning up to do, and iโll do all that i can to clean it up myself if i must. whatever it takes, iโll do everything in my might to make sure that all women have a home within radical feminism, and that radical feminism has a home within revolutionary struggle, and weโre pushing revolutionary struggle onward whether you want us to or not. no more reactionary politics, no more hypocrisy. that shite shall be brought to an end, whence it shall never rise again.
as for me. iโm taking your doctrine and adding it to my own, for building my own line. if your feminism means loving dworkinโs name but not her word, if it means that a rapist anti-abortionist like matt walsh โ a man who condones forced pregnancy and child marriage โ is looked at more kindly than any of us, only because we are trans, then i donโt have any use for the teachings that led you to it. itโs obvious to everyone but yourselves how lost and bewildered it made you, such that it drives you to shun and shame the female-identities and sexualities of members of own sex over their mercy toward others, and i donโt want that for myself or anyone who takes after my word.
what i need is a line that bears within it a calling to leave this endless quarrel over womanhood and work on our self-actualization and self-determination instead. despite our similarities, in being over-sexualized and pornographed and raped as women are, so with women in far greater numbers, so with mtfs in far greater proportions, but we were always on our own, and we always will be.
i only want all of this to end, and iโm working on finding the right path to ending it my way
