I used to be a hugeee liberal feminist until last year, I used to say every crazy thing from "Transwomen are also biologically women!!!!" to "Porn is super empowering! Women's sexual power is good for us, stop being a prude!" But the more I thought about it the more I realized that this new 3rd wave feminism was setting back women's rights. In terms of transgender discourse, the 4 transwomen who brought me to my peak trans were Fallon Fox, Martine Rothblatt, Chelsea Poe and of course Caitlyn Jenner.
First Fallon Fox, a transwoman who simply demanded that he be allowed to play in MMAs. Even though he was born a man and has all the testosterone of a man which made him develop a stronger body and frame. But mention any of that, and you'll hurt his trans fee fees and become a bigot. Nobody cares about the feelings of the women who would actually be going against him. I mean, for fucks sake, look at this video all Fallon Fox does is use his mannish strength to push down his opponent. And this is the advantage transwomen have and will use in women's sports because they are men. And even IF they went into HRT, do you really think they'd lose everything they had from their man-like testosterone filled bodies? Yet today, we're supposed to accept these men with open arms into our sports if they proclaim "I'm a woman!" Hopefully, when more women see them taking sports scholarships and invading women's teams, they'll finally see how unfair it is and people will reach their peak trans.
Next is Martine Rothblatt, aka the world's "Highest paid female CEO". But for me, and many other people, Rothblatt will never be given that honour of that title. Did his uncle ever tell him that he shouldn't work with robotics because that "just isn't something women do?" Did his father tell him to stop focusing on his career so much because he wouldn't have time for his family? Did his mother ever tell him that if he had too much money he would intimidate his husband? Did his male teammates always give him the easy work because they thought girls couldn't handle it? Was he ever sexually harassed and propositioned by his co-workers and by men in the tech community? No, because he was and still is a male, has male privilege, and never went through any of the barriers and bullshit real women ever have to go through to get a leadership position in a big Science company.
Then Chelsea Poe, she's a pre-op transwoman porn star who I learned about because she blasted Lily Cade, "Porn's goldstar lesbian" for not filming a scene with her. Lily Cade had respectfully said no, that she did not like penises and did not want to have sex with one. But of course, Chelsea Poe got his trans fee fees all butthurt and proclaimed LILY CADE IS TRANSPHOBIC! He basically vocalized his distaste for the lesbian community, how ~transphobic~ she was, and that people with dicks can still be lesbians, that she was hurting the trans community and all that other cotton ceiling bullshit. People were saying how lesbians who don't like penises and transwomen are transphobic bigots, not really lesbians because "lesbian doesn't mean you're attracted to vaginas just ""women"", that lesbians are misogynists who reduce women to their genitals, that they're noninclusive and so much other lesbophobic bullshit. This shit was even coming from straight girls and gay men, the same people who can't stop talking about how they love their man's penis, the same people who don't date transmen because they don't have one. And likewise, no one ever harps on men so much for not wanting to fuck transwomen. Because its always lesbians who are expected have to include dick in their spaces.
And finally Caitlyn Jenner.... When she first came out all I would do was reblog posts of that godamn Vanity Fair magazine cover for progressive points. But the more he talked the more I realized how toxic accepting transgenders would be for feminism and for women's rights. Caitlyn was always talking about "boy stuff" and "girl stuff" and how he was glad that he could finally do "girl stuff" like putting on facemasks, wearing dresses, putting on makeup and etc. He made me read how other transwomen realized they were trans. The overwhelming conclusion? That they felt submissive, they liked makeup, they liked to cook and all this other stereotypical bullshit. So the automatic conclusion now is that if a girl likes doing "boy things" that they're transmen and vice versa? Men can't be feminine men? Everyone has to be enclosed in a gender box and can only perform the stereotypes of their gender or they're not really their gender? That's the new progressive step? Because that's certainly the agenda that Caitlyn is pulling.
And so with the first three women I was inching more and more away from accepting transwomen to finally Caitlyn Jenner who made me turn a 180.
