Transgender ideology is a new form of anti-female persecution
The Federalist wrote about how transsexual activism is damaging social cohesion at schools and academia. And, as the following notes, is becoming a new way of persecuting women who dare object:
Recently, Twitter permanently banned Canadian feminist writer Meghan Murphy for making the unremarkable observation that “men aren’t women,” and asking, “How are transwomen not men? What is the difference between a man and a transwoman?” Writing last month in Quillette, Murphy described how women who object to what she calls “body/mind trans mysticism” have been targeted by trans activists. In some cases they’ve been publicly harassed at women’s rallies, and in other, less publicized cases they’ve been traumatized by being forced to share rooms and facilities in women’s shelters with men claiming to be women (that is, trans women).To that publisher I say they should be ashamed of themselves for being so petty and cowardly that they'd throw Murphy under the bus. They've done little more than prove sexism is sadly alive and kicking women violently.
Murphy, noting that what happens on Twitter sometimes really does affect what happens in “real life,” lost more than her Twitter account over all this. A Canadian publisher with whom she had been working on a manuscript for three years dropped her book over the affair. The owner of the publishing house explained to Murphy in an email, “I cannot and will not accept a manuscript for publication at Greystone which is hurtful to individuals or groups because of what they believe about their own gender.”
The trend of aggressive trans activism is of course most pronounced in academia, where social justice mobs are becoming more frequent, while reason and objectivity are in precipitous decline. Recently, the notion that biological sex, like gender, is merely a social construct has gained traction on the editorial boards of magazines like Scientific American and prestigious academic journals like Nature, which published an editorial in October arguing against classifying sex “on the basis of anatomy or genetics,” and asserting that, “The idea that science can make definitive conclusions about a person’s sex or gender is fundamentally flawed.”I see all this as a new form of misogyny/sexism, and even a new form of punk subculture built around male supremacy by trying to become a new species of "female" at the expense of the biologicals. It's also the result of failure to fight back effectively against the homosexual agenda all these years in the many institutions that legitimized it. One more reason why universities have to stop being political and platforms for the same. The best way to cut down on agenda-pushing and indoctrination is to take politics out of the places forcing it down everyone's throats at the expense of education. And women who see their dignity being attacked have to start forming movements to defend themselves, which is possible.
Thankfully, there are still some academics willing to point out that sex does not exist on a spectrum, that it is in fact so binary in humans as to be among the most statistically verifiable phenomena in nature.
For believing this, and daring to say so in public, academics are increasingly facing harassment and threats of violence. In Britain, a scholar on human rights law at the University of Reading who had the temerity to assert that sex is fixed at birth said she recently received an anonymous 3:30 a.m. phone call from someone who told her she “should be raped and killed.” The professor also reported that after a recent debate about changes to gender law, her office door was covered in urine and she was targeted online.
