Transsexual ideology is bad for women, and doesn't help their cause
Phyllis Chesler wrote about the topic of the transsexual ideology that today's alleged feminists have most alarmingly accepted as valid:
In 2005, I published a book with the title The Death of Feminism. I saw it all coming. But I did not foresee the rise of a transgender movement.Absolutely. Above all, what it basically confirms is that most liberal feminists were phonies who're now abandoning their original stances for something just short of Islamic dhimmitude, seeing what kind of sex-negative positions they have today. Most ludicrous is that there's no chance the trangender ideologues will ever object to Islam's own negative stance on their ideology. And that's exactly why all this current "trend" amounts to is an effort to derail western society and common sense.
On March 31st, an allegedly feminist Open Letter Supporting Trans Women and Girls, was circulated. Among other things, it stated that “We acknowledge with clarity and strength that transgender women are women and that transgender girls are girls. And we believe that honoring the diversity of women’s experiences is a strength, not a detriment to the feminist cause.”
Interestingly, there is absolutely no mention of trans men -- those who were born female but who have or want to become male. As we now know, there is an alarming spike among teenage girls in America who hope to solve their teenage sorrows such as low self-esteem, body image discomfort, trauma, eating disorders, psychiatric suffering, etc., by surgically removing their uteri and ovaries, taking potentially lethal hormones to prevent puberty, and to grow facial hair and muscle. Arkansas' Genera Assembly has, hopefully, pioneered a backlash against that trend by making it illegal to do so for minors.
The Open Letter continues: “It is time for the long history of assaults (legislative, physical, social, and verbal) against trans women and girls to end.”
I certainly am against assaults on anyone, but wonder why the letter does not mention, even as an aside, or as context, the long history of physical, legal, economic, social, and verbal assaults against biological women, in their homes, on the streets, at work, in shelters and worse in other parts of the world. The letter also remains silent about who the perpetrators of such violence might be.
The letter loses its way when it claims that “anti-trans sports bans are as unnecessary as they are harmful -- and that women athletes at both the professional and college level support inclusion.”
Is this really true? Isn't that highly unfair to those who compete and were born women?
