What happened to Girl Power!
Why aren’t women fighting for women?
And by “women”, I don’t mean the current or former penis owners who claim to be women.
I mean double X chromosome, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, vagina owning, birthing person women.
The women’s movement had always been marked by unity – at least from the “You’ve come a long way, baby” days of Virginia Slims cigarette marketing, all the way up to the #MeToo/Believe All Women moments that took down male sexual predators from Hollywood to New York City.
But not today.
Today, women are fighting against other women who don’t want turgid penises waved in their faces in what used to be female sanctuaries, as in the case of the Olympus Spa in Lynnwood, Washington, or the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority at the University of Wyoming.
In the Olympus Spa case, a female Western Washington District Court judge has ordered a Lynnwood-based spa to allow pre-op transwomen access to its female-exclusive facilities after a complaint filed with the Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC). Men who think they are women are free to dangle their wangle if they haven’t yet had their neovaginas constructed just yet.
In Wyoming, current and former KKG members filed suit after the University allowed 21-year-old Artemis Langford, allegedly a transgender woman, into the sorority last year. The seven alleged Arty had a habit of ogling their bodies in intimate settings while displaying a raging erection through his yoga pants.
The all-female leadership of the Gamma Omicron KKG chapter of the University of Wyoming filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by the former and current sorority members for allowing a biological male to join their female space, saying that they plaintiffs could always resign from the organization if "a position of inclusion is too offensive to their personal values."
What they seem to be saying these days is that you aren’t a real woman if you don’t support fake women claiming to be real women.
Female empowerment has given way to the latest scourge of the planet, diversity, inclusion, and equity. It has fallen victim to the postmodernist concept of “intersectionality”, which is basically Marxism for the mind. It means that we are all linked and oppression of one group is oppression of all groups.
It means that any challenges faced by biological women is also faced by anyone who believes they are a woman and any gain, hard won by biological women, benefits any man who believes he is a woman – ergo, men with penises who claim to be women should be able to occupy spaces specifically designated for women.
To define intersectionality in Marxist terms, it would be “From those who have an ax to grind, to those without a grind to ax.”
That’s why the trans movement is now snorting out a false equivalence between the Underground Railroad of the 1800’s shuttling slaves to freedom and people helping trans people leaving places like Florida because parents and politicians who represent them want to stop the hypersexualization of tender age kids that includes the indoctrination of kids in trans ideology.
But it’s not really a surprise.
All of this is ideologically based and for decades, the postmodernist left has piled one absurdity on top of another to build an ideological stack tall enough to stand above everybody – but the endpoint was (and is) entirely predictable. When building a structure of falsehoods, the structure is only as strong as the weakest lie.
And the weakest of all their lies is that the biological line between male and female does not exist; therefore, it can be crossed by simple choice or affirmation.
The truth is that transgenderism is an existential threat to women everywhere.
Andrew Sullivan, a gay man himself, argues that transgender ideology targets gays and lesbians, and “undermines their rights” because, according to the Ts, the LGBs are stuck in an outdated binary understanding of human sexuality as a matter of biology and not mind.
I have long drawn a line between the LGB and the T because the LGB is a matter of emotional attraction as opposed to an attempt to eliminate nature itself. I don’t really see the T as a threat to men (including gay men) because men possess all Nature’s advantages, where transgender men are women possessing none of those advantages. It is inconceivable to think transgender men would have much of any impact on activities and spaces that are traditionally the domain of biological men.
Not so of women. If transgenderism is a real thing, it stands to eliminate women (including lesbians) completely because transgender women are really men that cannot have the natural benefits of being male erased from them.
I suspect a few of those welcoming men pretending to be women —the kinder types— somehow truly believe that feelings trump facts, and believe that if a man says so, he truly does feel like a woman, so they think they're helping "women trapped in a man's body." I think that would be a minority.
The radical ones, I suspect, see this as their only chance to actually see male genitalia. Okay, not really, but I have no clue what they're thinking. None whatsoever.
I get into these "discussions" often enough, and almost always end with:
"Long Live the Patriarchy," I guess?
T is a direct attack on LG. If it were restricted to adults then maybe not. But they are going after children. Which children will most be affected? The Ls and Gs. The effeminate little boy, who would have grown up gay will now be transed and have his penis cut off. The butchy little girl gets talked into being a boy and is similarly mutilated. This is an attack on the gay community.
