Since I discovered how transgenderism is affecting women's rights. I started to follow radfem organizations like Women Liberation Front. Because a lot of progressive feminists are handmaidens of TIMS and defends them. They silence and attack other women that doesn't agree with gender ideology and transgenderism. I don't consider myself a feminist. But I appreciate the fight that radfems are doing for women. Progressive feminists are a disappointment. Thanks to radfems I discovered the book of Janice Raymond. It is incredible how this woman knew back then in 1979 that how transgenderism will affect women rights.
"the male-to-female transsexual is a “fantastic woman,” the incarnation of a male fantasy of feeling like a woman trapped in a man’s body, the fantasy rendered flesh by a further male medical fantasy of surgically fashioning a male body into a female one. These fantasies are based in the male imagination, not in any female reality. It is this female reality that the surgically-constructed woman does not possess, not because women innately carry some essence of femininity but because these men have not had to live in a female body with all the history that entails. It is that history that is basic to female reality, and yes, history is based to a certain extent on female biology"-Janice Raymond.
I read her book in the early 80’s, and it blew me away. Because of that book, I was able to see through all the Trans Rights BS from the very beginning. I am glad a younger generation is discovering her work.
It blew me away too! It is obvious that transgenderism is a industry for and by men like Janice Raymond says. It is obvious. Society has always been made by and for men. And it still is. That is why woman who identifies as man in are not given so much attention.
yes, glad you honor her here. She is still living and recently published another book on "trans", Double Think. She was prescient in seeing the connection between the medical establishment and "trans" identified men, and in understanding the harm to women's rights of this insanity.
Thanks! I am glad to be here. She is a very intelligent woman. I feel so much admiration for her.
