The more I look into the feminist critique of gender ideology, the happier I am that trans ideology is *utterly steamrolling* feminism. That old horror needs to die — trans ideology does need to be opposed, but in this case the enemy of our enemy is still our enemy.

Gender ideology and feminism are close kin in some ways. Both are Kantian — or rather, feminism is Kantian and Gender Ideology is post-Kantian, via Nietzsche to Foucault.

Feminism posits that a woman’s “true” self is her immaterial, autonomous self, which is, sadly, stapled to a natural body, which is a kind of detestable burden and hateful oppressor.

Kant, as we know, regards the body and everything about it as “pathological.” He belongs to the tribe of those Nietzsche call “the despisers of the body.”

As do feminists. The sheer *hatred* of the sexed female body and feminine being is what I cannot forgive in feminism.

“Male and female He created them.”

My view is that both male and female being are essentially GOOD, and that human happiness lies is fulfilling and actualizing our nature.

Feminism hates female embodiment. They spent years and decades deconstructing female nature, and now Gender Ideology is reaping what feminism sowed.

To be sexed female is, to feminism, to be an autonomous, sexless self joined to a hated material machine.

The feminist complaint that gender ideology *fundamentally misunderstands* the female body — viewing it a social construction, nonsensically enough — is just as true of feminism, which in many respects does less well.

In their delusional attempts to appropriate or copy the sexed female body, trans manage in some regards to have a higher opinion of it than feminists.

We are being offered a choice between “fake but affirmed” and “real but hated.”

And of course feminism easily and almost always passes from hatred of female embodiment to hatred of women who do not accept feminism’s hatred of female embodiment.
