Hey #terfleaks, guess who now has ANDREA DWORKIN’S takedown of Janice Raymond’s 1979 #TERF bible, TS Empire?
This is the long-hidden letter Dworkin wrote to Raymond, repudiating Raymond’s brand of BS “#feminism” & asserting her unequivocal support of #trans people.
Andrea Dworkin, speaking about trans women, in her letter rejecting the sex essentialism of Janice Raymond:
"They were driven by their ostracization to prostitution, drugs, and suicide, conjuring up for me the deepest reaches of female experience." - Andrea Dworkin
Here's an excerpt from Andrea Dworkin's refutation of the source for practically ALL modern anti-trans arguments: Janice Raymond’s 1979 book, Transsexual Empire.
This account has unintentionally created a great resource for finding providers who follow all scientific best practices, ethical guidelines, and evidence-based care (from the @APA to the @AmerMedicalAssn) informed by a half-century of scientific research.
Let's be clear, the first peer-reviewed publications on putting puberty on pause after onset to give kids time to choose were from the 1990s; 25 yrs ago.
The Australian trans care system was created by cis Lesbians.
The historical record remains an inconvenient fact for TERFs.
He cultivated MAGA brownshirts who were 100% to be violent. His people stormed state capitols multiple times. He never told them to stop. He told them to stand back and stand by.
After he exhausted every non-violent option, he SWITCHED his post-election rally to the 6th and scheduled his speech during the electoral count.
BTW, Trump'ss rally permit explicitly prohibited marching to the capitol.
He told his brownshirts to fight. Rudy told them to have a trial by combat. The insurrectionists chanted "fight for Trump." The insurrectionists said they went there to stop the electoral count and murder the 2nd and 3rd in line of POTUS succession.
Then there's @4th_WaveNow, run by a very, terribly, horribly "concerned" cis woman who has zero medical or psychological expertise
An entire anti-science ecosystem grew up around them to promote their various "concerns". Here are some of the right-wing anti-LGBT hate groups that promote their "concerns" -
Heritage Foundation
Family Policy Alliance
Minn Family Council
Cornerstone
NC Family Policy Council
What is sex?
What is sex essentialism?
Why are TERFs toxic?
Why is #TERFlogic rooted in American right-wing gender ideology?
Why is trans analysis rooted in radical feminism?
Thread:
TERFs claim that they're not part of the American right-wing.
If that's so, why does the American right-wing think they are?
#ProTip: the term “TERF” isn’t a trans word, it’s a feminist term created by cis feminists in 2008 to stop the colonization of radical feminism by people obsessed with the eradication of transness who called themselves radical feminists.
The pioneering radical feminist collective, the Lesbian Tide was run by a trans-identified Lesbian.
TERFs harassed the radfem groups Sisters & Cell 16 into closing because they were staunchly trans-inclusive.
The radical feminist collective Olivia paid for trans care and physically stopped TERFs from murdering Oliva member Sandy Stone because she was trans.
We hear @TheAtlantic is considering publishing more of Jesse Singal's anti-trans concern trolling. @emcollective should be aware that Singal lies a lot re: trans issues. For the sake of children, BE SURE YOU FACT CHECK before publishing misinformation: transadvocate.com/the-new-york-m…
Also, you should see Jesse Singal's misinformation being fact-checked on @thinkprogress:
