The Sheep That Invited the Wolves To Dine
How feminists have been duped into supporting the patriarchy they think they hate
At the 2018 Women’s March, Halsey delivered a powerful and heart wrenching poem about her personal experiences with sexual abuse and exploitation by men. Natalie Portman talked about the trauma of being sexualized at a young age after achieving fame in The Professional, including being sent a man's rape fantasy as fan mail.
Many women who speak with eloquence and passion about misogyny defend self-identified trans women with equal fervor. Their blind acceptance is laughably anti-feminist.
It is a conundrum for those who want to be seen as advocates for whatever is in fashion. The things in fashion are not in agreement. Trans is anti-feminist. Trans is anti-gay and anti-lesbian.
Because the incoherence of the argument is unavoidable, defenders of trans women use a common tactic to end debate when it reaches an impasse (biological men are not women—yes they are—no they’re not.) ‘Why do you care?’ they demand, ‘Why do you care so much about what other people do?’
The simple truth is that men have discovered a way to infiltrate women's and children's spaces without resorting to intrigue. Now, with the enthusiastic approval of society, they can grow out their hair and slap on some lipstick.
The internet is filled with videos of men in women's clothing masturbating in women's dressing rooms, public bathrooms and locker rooms. The greater the risk of being seen, the greater the thrill.

Ads are circulating promoting the benefits of transitioning from male to female:
It has become a game for the bored, the idle, the sexual thrill seekers, the perverted and the rebellious.

We are to accept without question 'People are who they say they are'.
If we protest, we are immediately bullied into silence.
Feminists who defend trans women demand that we pretend people like this aren't creepy but are, in fact, biological women.

Trans is not just a biological, social and public policy issue. Trans is a philosophical problem. If you try to follow the arguments in favor of giving trans women everything they demand—from their version of reality to physical spaces to participation to language—you find yourself deep in territory best understood by minds trained to spot logical fallacies:
If gender is a social construct and anyone can feel that they are any gender, why do we insist on linking a person's sex identity to their gender identity? “Trans women are women” is a meaningless statement if sex and gender are unrelated.
If gender and sex are distinct, why do people bother to change the presentation of their sex via medical intervention, clothing, accessories, hair and makeup?
If gender is metaphysical and based on how a person feels, does it exist at all? How does anyone know what it feels like to be male or female if those genders exist in the feeling of each person? What is male? What is female?
If gender-themed toy aisles and clothing departments force gender stereotypes and are transphobic, why do trans women and men go out of their way to accoutre themselves with the theme of their gender in order to present themselves as the sex commonly associated with their gender?
If assigning a gender at birth based on sex is bad, why are people so eager to identify a novel gender for children based on their expression of gender stereotypes?
The short version is this:
People who argue against gender stereotyping immediately adhere to the stereotypes of the gender they decide they are, and then do everything they can to alter their sex to comport with the sex stereotypically paired with their chosen gender.
None of it makes sense. Enter, 'Why do you care?’
I care because men are dressing as women and masturbating in bathroom stalls for TikTok. Children are being groomed and maimed. Men are being moved to women's prisons based on 'David now identifies as Darlene’.
This is misogyny in action.
