The editor of the @NewYorker, David Remnick, did a podcast yesterday, on #DetransAwarenessDay, seeking Torrey Peters's views on detransition (which Peters eroticizes).

Rape fantasies go highbrow.

Link to podcast, for reference, in which Peters describes his novel as "dishy" and I frankly couldn't be bothered to listen beyond that.

Crispin Long's telling paragraph in the @NewYorker's glowing review of Torrey Peters' misogynistic novel "Detransition, Baby":

Trans people [MEN] reserve for one another talk that transition involves frequently wiping your hard drive.

(Yeah we know)

Lengthy book review of forced feminization fetishist Torrey Peters' misogynistic novel "Detransistion, Baby".

Reading this, it's even more repulsive that the @NewYorker, too lazy to do any research on actual detransition, chose to feature Peters's views.

Torrey Peters, a male author who claims to be a woman, fantasizes that women desire to be demeaned, harmed and murdered by men:

Female character A: "She liked how he called her a whore"
Female character B: "I want a man to love me so much he murders me"

And the @WomensPrize is delighted to reveal these male sadomasochistic sexual fantasies about women as submissive vessels to be humiliated and abused as worthy of a prize designed to "showcase the very best writing by women".

@WomensPrize Really, @WomensPrize?

You actually read this book and thought that this glorification of violence against women was:

a) written by a woman
b) some of the best writing
