I am a trans woman who has long talked about my strong disagreements with TRA.
Recently, I thought about not talking about this anymore. I find it so frustrating how so many on the left are misguided by these activists.
Today, I read this article today about a Professor in California who wrote a book that argues that the terms “gay” & “lesbian” are “harmful” to trans people:
And I realized why I obsess over this topic so much. These activists are like PETA, if PETA gained real power. Imagine if PETA had the power to compel people to give up their pets & only eat vegan.
Trans activists pushed way beyond the overton window because they took such control of the left & the Democratic Party. Dozens of pronouns became normalized, trans women in women’s sports, etc.
I am trans & I am for core trans rights. I am to the left of the average American on trans rights. But so many of the ideas trans rights activists demand purity on are absurd.
“Self-id” has led to murderers pretending they are trans to get into women’s prisons. “Self-id”, infinite pronouns & “egg culture” led to a social contagion.
These ideas are as radical as PETA demanding everyone eat vegan & give up their pets. But PETA was always seen as kooks, they were not taken seriously.
This new book is a great example of TRA maximalism. The Professor argues that “gay” & “lesbian” are “harmful” to trans people. The only people speaking out against this are conservatives & gender critical people.
Because the Democrats & the left are so afraid of offending the TRA. Will this ever stop?
This is the dumbest shit I have heard in a long time. Transphobes are such a desperate and sad group.
Maybe people in n the left dont speak about it because it is a kook Thing. While conserves need to Milk that gender cow for their fascist culture war.
