Trans Activism is a Revenge of Patriarchy on Gays and Women
Trans Sexism and Homophobia are Obvious and Appalling
I think that radical transgender activism is in a way a revenge of patriarchal and heteronormative society on feminism and gay activism. It reverses the progress which the latter achieved with regard to women and gay rights. I mean just look at it. Modern transgender activism is openly anti-women. It could even have been called sexist but alas one can't call transgender activists sexist because it's 'transphobic'. But if you just look at it - all those 'womxn' and other 'inclusive' language perversions, denying female biology by forcing transgender women in female sports or claiming that men can actually give birth or breastfeed (though BIOLOGICAL men can't but transgender activism is about gender identity, not biology), lesbians being pressured to sleep with trans women with penises...The last one surprisingly reminds me of cis male incels pushing women to sleep with them, and sexually harassing them. Only again, it's only cis men who can sexually harass women. If you'd accuse a trans woman of sexually harassing a cis woman, you'd be labeled 'transphobic' in an instant.
Radical transgender activism is very anti-gay as well. It trumps sexual orientation with gender identity. It claims that gender identity is actually more important, and, consequently, if you're gay man, then you should be attracted to ALL men (including trans men), NOT only to cis men! If you're attracted only to cis males and love dicks, then you're 'transphobic'. Sexual orientation is labeled as 'sexual preference' now. This again surprisingly reminds me of what homophobes would do - to deny one's sexual orientation. Homophobes would tell you that your inborn sexual orientation is just a 'choice', radical trans activists would tell you that it's your 'genital preference'. Do you see any difference there? I don't. But again, you can't call trans activists homophobic because that's again would be labeled as 'transphobic'.
But there is more. I'm very concerned that more and more often gay teens are told that they are not actually gay, but trans, and put on puberty blockers. I read and heard stories of gay men and lesbians who detransitioned after attempts to change their biological sex after realizing that they are actually gay after all, and not trans. But their friends and teachers and doctors were telling them otherwise. And here is a huge problem. Now, if a person expresses any slight gender non conformity, the first and main option offered to them is that they are trans. But in truth they might be pretty often gay or just masculine girls/feminine guys. But even definition of a transgender in modern dictionary is not a person who experiences gender dysphoria as it used to be, but 'any gender non conforming person'. Which might include gay people or even cis straight people who for some reason are not perfectly conforming with gender norms. When I look at my adolescence, I didn't like boyish things but was attracted to boys instead. In modern society, I might have in all likelihood be labeled trans. I might have even been lured into taking hormones and puberty blockers to make Big Pharma rich. But I'm not trans and I'm pretty sure at least some of people who think that they are trans now (especially teens!) are actually gay. But they were misled into believing that they are trans by the Woke society.
Here how we come to heteronormativity. Since trans activism tramples gay activism, since gay teens are falsely led to believe that they are trans, and homosexual attraction is often called 'genital preference' now, we are basically coming back to heteronormative society where gay attraction and gay people even do not exist. Instead, we have again now only heterosexual attraction which can be expressed, however, both to trans and cis women. It's even ironic. Ofc, openly the Woke would never admit that. On the surface, they fight homophobia. In truth, they are homophobic. And sexist as well.
Again, Alex, brilliantly and perfectly written and vociferously articulated!
BTW, I attempted to add pronouns HEE/HAW to my LinkedIn profile, but got a nasty rebuke from LinkedIn that I was being ‘hateful’ towards the trans community. Let me put on my big fucking surprised face - LinkedIn is nothing but a cesspool of woke bullshit pushed by its woke CEO who had poured millions into mutilator-in-chief Biden’s campaigns.
Well written & so true!
