"In January, a woman was photographed
at the Vancouver Women’s March that included the words, “Trans ideology is misogyny.” This might be viewed as a hyperbolic message for those who consider themselves good, liberal people and who care about a group they have been informed are in extreme danger, and particularly marginalized. And perhaps, if you were unfamiliar with the way women and feminists are addressed by trans activists, you might wonder what statements like this are rooted in. A few years ago, I might have questioned this as well, thinking, “well that’s a bit much, isn’t it.” But as trans activism has gained ground and as I myself — as well as many other women — have begun questioning and speaking out about the aims, ideology, and policies supported in the name of “trans rights,” it has become impossible to deny what is being supported through trans activism: violence against women.
Last week, photographs of an exhibit currently on display at the
emerged online, depicting bloody shirts with the words, “I punch TERFs,” alongside baseball bats and axes, painted pink and blue to reference the gender ideology being touted, some covered in barbed wire, in order to amplify the grotesqueness of the threatened beating. The exhibit was set up by “Scout Tran,” a trans-identified male and founding member of the
, a group that now has chapters throughout the United States. The group attends queer and feminist events, including the Dyke March, the
, and the
, carrying these weapons, which they claim as defensible activism, but is undeniably a visible threat and incitement to violence against women."
"The threats attached to slogans like “I punch TERFs” are not theoretical. Earlier this month, a trans-identified male who goes by the name “Tara Wolf” was
of assault after beating 60-year-old Maria MacLauchlan, who had gathered with other women in Hyde Park to attend a meeting discussing gender identity ideology and legislation. Wolf had posted on Facebook about his desire to attend this gathering in order to “fuck up some TERFs.” In what other circumstance would anyone — self-identified progressives, in particular — defend viable threats of violence against women? Sadly, lots."
The more I read about this issue and these leftwing transactivist violent hatred of women who are JUST trying to defend the safety and rights of women and girls....I mean it's just psychotic hatred.
These people are NOT oppressed. They ARE oppressors. Police have harrassed women who tweet things that are just facts because its "transphobia". POLICE have gotten involved over "transphobic tweets"
Police have NEVER gotten involved over rape and death threats sent women, btw. That is all tolerated but say "transwomen are not women" and it's some high crime that subjects you to threats and harrassment. Oh and police.
Obviously the left embraces this and passionately participates in it. Male violence against women.
"Liberals and the left have broadly defended violence against women as “art” or “sex,” though perhaps in a less overt way than they have outright threats of violence to feminists who wish to question or discuss the notion of gender identity. Pornography, for example, is one area where violence and abuse is consistently defended on account of it being “sex,” “fantasy,” or “free speech.” The ability of men and their allies to avoid viewing a woman being
, hit, or gang-raped as “real violence” because it is connected to men’s desire and masturbation is without bounds. Similarly, the notion that a man offering a women financial compensation in exchange for
is
time and time again as
regardless of the impact on that woman and the broader message this practice sends to all men and women, everywhere."
