Do you ever have moments where you wake up laughing, realising that a very power lobby has actually got a load of people tripping over themselves saying "she" and "her" all because a man is wearing a dress and expresses and "identity" that no woman feels? Isn't it interesting how
> for many centuries women have been mobilising and organising for their rights and nobody cared not only about her feelings, but moreso about the tangible evidence of historical fact upon which her feelings stood? When we encourage society to honour the feelings of those who

takes this paradigm of woman as a man with a lack and turns this around: woman as a man who is empowered and "hyper mujer" (Sarduy) by virtue of his ability to simulate through vestiture and performance the "trans woman" which labours over time to render actual women second-class

category of woman against which women around the planet fight persistently. And the cherry on the cake is that women in the west get to fight men telling them not only that they are "exclusive" for not centring feminism on men who claim to be women, but that these men are given

solve men's problems for them while being put in this symbolic position of the "mother", the nurturer, who must at all cost shut up, not hurt their feelings, and answer to leftist men who bully women on the left who do not capitulate. So, yeah, I woke up this morning and laughed
