Tirade on Calling out the Misogyny of the ExtremeTransgender Movement
An ideologically driven erasure and invasion of womanhood
Transgender extremism is sabotaging the very nature of womanhood. It is an ideology that seems intent on erasing, from our lexicon, terms belonging to biologically born women and reframing what womanhood is in our society. Whether it be transwomen or transmen–in this topsey-turvey ideological ‘gender’ realm–it would seem that biological women always come out on the losing side.
The titles, terms and designations that have been associated with women throughout history are being usurped by this new type of misogyny masquerading as ‘compassionate woke’ inclusive leftist ideology. We, as women, are now no longer allowed to call ourselves mothers–we are now ‘birthing persons’. The term pregnant woman is being replaced by ‘pregnant person’ or ‘person who is pregnant’ by such ‘esteemed’ organizations of the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Suddenly it would seem that ‘men’ can get pregnant, and have babies. Yet the objective reality that we all intrinsically know, is that the only ‘men’ who can get pregnant are transmen, who have kept the reproductive body parts that still make them biologically female, regardless of how they choose to ‘identify’. Yet, women, apparently also no longer breastfeed, it's now called chestfeeding, and apparently it is no longer only women who menstruate, as tampon dispensers in men’s washrooms seem to denote.
We are no longer allowed to enjoy and celebrate our womanhood as biological women. As a matter of fact it seems we can no longer even definitively define what a woman is. To that end the Cambridge Dictionary, has updated its definition of a woman to include ‘an adult who lives and identifies as a female, though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.’ Did the Cambridge folks not think it might have been more appropriate to make that a separate definition of a ‘transwoman’, because that is, in fact, the perfect definition of a transwoman? Instead, it would seem now that we, as biological women, are expected to use the term ‘cis’ woman (a term that we neither asked for or were consulted about or even like, for that matter) to describe ourselves as women, so that transwomen can drop the suffix ‘trans’ and simply call themselves a woman?
Why must we change our biological terminology of womanhood to accommodate a non-biological woman? How is that fair to biological women? A biological man’s choice to become a ‘woman’ shouldn’t impact the way biological women identify. For us being a woman isn’t a choice. It was the way we were born–with ovaries, with a vagina, with a uterus and with a cervix, and with all the eggs we will ever have, some of which may, one day, become the children that we, as women, and only women, will bear. Why are we being asked, and in many ways forced, to sacrifice ourselves and the pride we feel in our womanhood, and in what truly makes us a woman?
Even Canada’s ‘superwoke feminist’ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decided to chime in on this issue on Twitter and throw his support behind transwomen on none other than International Women’s Day! Tweeting “And with a disturbing rise in anti-transgender hate here in Canada and around the world recently, I want to be very clear about one more thing: Trans women are women. We will always stand up to this hate – whenever and wherever it occurs.”
While Canadian biological women should expect nothing less from this devotee of leftist woke ideology, they can at least count on Canada’s gender warrior Dr. Jordan Peterson to come to their defense, as he Tweeted back: “Customary obeisance to the radical leftist gender benders and narcissists on a day hypothetically devoted to (remember them?) women. I've never seen a politician with the possible exception of Kamala Harris strike so many false notes.
What is so frustrating and dangerous about this whole situation, is that this extreme misogynistic transgender ideology is now doing to women, what many men did to women for centuries, and in some countries today, they are still doing it. They controlled women, diminished their value, banished them from public view and discourse, and even silenced their voices. This is what is happening to biological women today, who dare to speak out and express real concern over this erosion of their identity. Yet, nobody seems to care or recognize this, but instead vocal opponents condemn or ‘cancel them–just ask J.K Rowling about that. We get called transphobic or worse yet, TERFs– trans-exclusionary radical feminist–another label applied to biological women that we neither consented to, or were consulted about.
Also, dishearteningly, among our critics are many young women, who have been brainwashed and co-opted into this ideology in ‘woke’ colleges and universities, and don’t understand what they are defending or buying into. They don’t seem to understand that many of the rights they have today, that were fought for by those that went before them, are now evaporating. Now many of us women who did that fighting are finding ourselves having to fight again for our own identity and female titles. We are also in another battle to again level the playing field, as transwomen (many of whom are still biologicallly intact men) invade our sports, our locker rooms and bathrooms, take our jobs and even take our awards. Transwoman Caitlyn Jenner was named Woman of the Year by Glamour Magazine in 2015, for ‘bringing transgenderism to the fore.’
And it would seem we are fighting the establishment as governments and organizations take the side of the transgender movement. Female athletes in highschools are being told by school officals that they have to share their locker rooms with trans women who still have male genitalia, and if they don’t like it they can seek counselling. NCAA Championship college swimmer Riley Gaines, tearfullly recounts her experience of not only having to share a championship trophy with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, but also having to share a locker room with ‘her’.
And how is it that a transwomen, like transwoman superstar and self-proclaimed diva, Dylan Mulvaney is being celebrated for marking ‘her’ first year as a ‘woman’. The US Vice President, Kamala Harris even sent Mulvaney a letter, congratulating her' on ‘her’ first anniversary as a ‘woman’ and commending ‘her’ courage and activism. Men like Mulvaney, seeking to become women, like to caricature women as frilly, hyper-feminized, and one-dimensional. Mulvaney, through her’ TikTok videos, has made a mockery of what it is to be a woman, so much so that many bioligical women find it insulting and bordering on misogyny. Take for example this video explaining how bioligical women have to get used to seeing man bulges in ‘women’s crotches.’

There are other men who claim to be transwomen, but do not suffer from gender dysphoria, instead they have a sexual fetish known as autogynephilia, where they see women as sexualized objects, and “becoming” a woman satisfies their sexual desires. Yet envy, and yes misongyny, is often echoed in their behaviours and is sometimes reflected in their chosen portrayal of women. Such is the case of the transgender shop teacher at Trafalgar Highschool in Oakville, Ontario who caused outrage and controversary when ‘her’ outrageous mode of ‘female’ dress was defended by both the school board and school officials, when concerned parents and students complained.
There is yet another area in which this extreme transgender ideology is also negatively impacting women, particularly young women. That is the alarming increase in teenage girls coming out as transgender and pursuing the idea of transitioning to the opposite sex. Journalist and author Abigail Shrier, in her book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing our Daughters, explores the impact social media is having on very young women and sounding the alarm. She notes in her book that until very recently the concept of gender dysphoria was exceedingly rare; typically occuring in less than .01 percent of the population, emerging in early childhood, and affecting males almost exclusively.
Today that has changed dramatically with entire groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools coming out as “transgender.” Girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered an internet community saturated with trans “influencers.” Parents find themselves facing daughters in the thrall of this transgender contagion, brought on by ‘hip’ trans YouTube and TikTok stars and “gender-affirming” educators and therapists who push life-changing interventions on young girls. This includes medically unnecessary double mastectomies, and cross hormone treatments or puberty blockers that can cause permanent infertility and other irreversable health conditions. Many of these young girls, come to regret their decision and begin the process of detransitioning back to female. But in many cases, some of the physcial and mental damage inflicted upon them is beyond repair.
Transgenderism going in both directions is rooted in misogyny. From men seeking to become their sexualized interpretation of women, to young women seeking to escape a stereotypical view of women, it is two sides of the same coin. Biological women and men must not view their very real concerns on this very serious matter as transphobic or bigotry. We recognize that there are trans-people out there who simply want to quietly live their lives, but with extremism around the transgender movement today, the pendulum has swung too far, which is having, and will continue to have, serious consequences for our society as a whole.
Former US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is a biological women who clearly understands this. She recently cut her ties to the Democratic Party, for many reasons, including what she views as the Party’s extreme stance on transgender ideology. Of course she has been labelled at TERF and transphobe in certain circles, but she does capture the concerns around this movement quite succinctly.
"There are two major points here. Number one is there is no greater expression of hatred and hostility towards women than to try to erase our existence as a category of people and to minimize us to being a construct of anyone's imagination."
The second thing that doesn't get talked about often enough, as we are looking at this insanity, is that by rejecting the objective truth – that there is such a thing as a woman, they are rejecting the existence of objective truth as a whole and when we remove those boundaries of what is actually true and false, not my truth or your truth, or their truth or whatever it is, that there is such a thing as objective truth, then we remove all the boundaries of our society.
Excellent, well-researched and argued article. It's especially harrowing to learn about the growing transgender craze among young women. As the whistleblower at a transgender clinic in the US, Jamie Reed, revealed many of these teenagers are confused or psychologically troubled when they decide to change genders. And it's heartbreaking to learn about their regrets and detransitioning experiences.
Hello. Many thanks for raising the subject. I find the whole thing stark raving mad. Some of what I see seems more like pantomime than reality and makes me wonder if some of what we see is play acting only.
But in any event the whole thing is satanic and evil.
Anyway, I did do my own post of trans words to ridicule the nonsense.
