Isn't it just??? I will never forget the 'wide eyes and expectant asshole' comment of a few years ago. Porn has destroyed most wee lassies first times,many reporting that their boyfriend would choke them during sex. Fkn sad times all round hun😢
Yep that's the manslab right enough! I couldn't remember his name,all these perverts morph into one in my brain. The backlash is coming and I pray that gys and lesbians don't end up feeling the whip early on-lets face it,'trans' has been trying to eradicate plain old fashioned homosexuality for years now
Chu is simply a disgusting narcissist! The arts are rotting at the core now when they look for trans porn or anything trans to give prizes to. If you want recognition now, be trans and add a bit of porn!
The Pulitzer Prize is not worth the paper to piss on if that’s what they’re doing .
As an adult capable of giving consent Dr. Levine is perfectly free to present as a woman and even to claim -- in some sense -- to BE a woman. What I object to is his insistence that everyone else humor his delusion, even to the extent of advocating along with him for the drugging and mutilation of minors who are also suffering from this particular form of bodily dysphoria.
I have no doubt that the Democratic Party under President Biden has lost substantial support over its embrace of extreme trans ideology, which is as irrational as the right's insistence that women once again turn control over their reproductive health to men. In fact, the two positions have in common a danger to the freedoms and safety of real women, which leaves rational feminists in a political bind: do we embrace the party that wants to enslave us, or the party that wants to erase us?
Adults cannot do whatever they want to themselves.
He doesn't just "present" or claim. This is a matter of healthcare, law, public policy.
He presumably involved healthcare by getting his doctor to prescribe estrogen, perform surgeries, etc. He involved the state by demanding changes to his birth certificate, drivers license, passport. He demands changes in language, which must be reflected in official documents, everyday correspondence, and speech.
When this is done, that means there is no way to stop males from entering women's prisons and sports.
If the gate is opened by declaring "Adults can give consent!" then that is inevitable, and children will be targeted. That is the raison d'etre of the agenda, and it cannot be stopped.
Now, if this is just about him wearing women's clothes, then just say that. He wants to wear skirts--fine. But that's not what is going on, and he cannot consent to having his body mutilated due to mental illness. Doctors do not give adult anorexics liposuction or adult apotemnophiliacs healthy limb removal.
He cannot claim whatever he wants because it will inevitably result in everything that is happening. This isn't going to work at all. So the answer must be no, starting with in the doctor's office.
And embracing the "trans" lie has lead to women being erased--if we can't be defined, how are our rights to be protected? That is the problem.
We don't belong to either party because they're both run by worthless morons. Nothing is to be done there.
Great writing. I love reading something which pulls no punches. Indeed your saying delusional people can’t give concern is a lynchpin of debate for me going forwards. It’s why trans hate gatekeeping, because doctors know a delusional person is not making rational decisions and they are legally obliged to not help them harm themselves. Great piece.
I think it's pretty clear that we first stop the mutilation by voting on the right. The states currently get to choose regarding abortion. But our children and young adults are literally signing up to barbaric mutilation surgeries everyday and then regretting these decisions when it's too late. We have to right the ship on this issue at all costs...
I have struggling with that question also! I tend to think the left’s position is the more dangerous, because it is more than just erasing women…it’s erasing Truth!
I was just wondering the other night if any of these highly influential trannies (i.e. Richard Levine, James Pritzker, and the likes) have actually gone through hormones or surgery? Or do they just grow their hair out and put on falsies? Bruce Jenner seems to be the only one who committed completely to his own lie.
They sure as hell don’t care what my mentally ill child does to his body!
Honestly, I looked for evidence that Richard did anything except grow out his hair, and I could not find anything. I couldn't find an explicit admission of hormones and especially not surgeries, not that this is a "transition" anyway.
These men literally just grow out their hair, barely put on makeup, sometimes wear nail polish.
The AGPs are not going to do anything that interferes with their libidos. Most of them anyway. The ones that do go for castration often admit it’s because they want to stop their sexual obsessions.
They are narcissists and also mentally unstable..anyone that thinks they can change their sex is nutty . But then they want us to go along with their delusions? Nope!
I’m sorry ! I would bet that “Rachel” Levine has taken hormones! He looks like he did. Don’t know about Pritzker , except that he’s one of the greedy guys who is pushing this harmful ideology with millions of his money, meanwhile probably getting paid back even more! I hate those people!!
I wish you well with your son! It has to be so hard!
Unbelievably, the following post was removed by Instagram for being against Community Guidelines and for being "misleading":
"The only legislation these states should be enacting is the requirement that clinics and doctors practice evidence-based medicine, and that patients have an indefinite amount of time to sue if they do not. So-called "affirming care" is not supported by research -- even the World Professional Assoc of Trans Health admits it, and they developed the protocols!"
Gender critical voices are being blocked on social media even when we post facts. There is nothing misleading about my post -- it is verifiable and true.
Sorry if I am "hijacking" this thread, but I really think this is a big problem for the gender-critical perspective.
It’s not only mutilation of children, but also cutting off discussion, and truth! Freedom of speech as far as the trans ideology is concerned has been abrogated!
Investigate. Not so hard considering the fact those in power would not put this fool there in that costume if he hasn't been properly a disgraced person with a degree. There's more skeletons that nobody sees.
If you wonder why did I say that - the dude has his clones around the world. One of them is still playing a victim of a military service in Serbia where I live, by cutting his dick off via state sponsored programe for openly feminized men (and perverts too!!!) to prove those who thought his sexul behavior that was public made him a liability to the military system. It's never about them it's more about their degree, and always who they serve in the position they find themselves. Didn't the Tranny Kardashian evade killing a woman with his car, by becoming one? Yeah...
Because it has everything to do with an empire's Special Nation project. Also, Israel's propaganda has made sure some American settlers present as detransitioners to the "GC" Americans, and to become visible this year. To ask what a Jewish person's involvement with Israel is not any kind of antisemitism. I would ask the same for my own people's representatives and what's their involvment with shit particular for our country. I am a Serb. We did our best to hide and protecr Jewish kids left without parents in the Holocaust. Also, as people, we were a part of mass slaughter in II WW, along with other Yugoslav nations. So, please, cope in your American bubble. The whole world is not America.
It’s not about the money—the money makes moving the trans agenda forward more feasible because it broadens the number of people and organizations that will benefit from backing the agenda.
The energy behind all of this is aimed at destabilizing and demoralizing the West. Sow discord, sow division, sow confusion, sow mistrust and misery. Above all, destroy the family. Make sure that parents are pushed away from their children and visa versa, and empower the state to assume parental roles.
The issue is never the issue—the issue is always advancing the Revolution.
If these people weren't making money from this, it wouldn't have gone this far. Millions of dollars push this, in legal funds, media campaigns, hospitals, education.
Where do you think the "energy" you cite comes from? The money.
Read Jennifer Bilek's work. Once this agenda becomes a money loser rather than a money maker, it will dissipate.
I have read Jennifer’s work, and appreciate how she has revealed the money trail. It’s my opinion that, no matter the current manifestation we see in terms of the issues of the day, the whole worldview behind all of these radical movements is Communist/Marxist/socialist. It’s the project of the radical Left to bring down everything that currently exists in how we organize our society, so that they can institute Utopia. They come at the structures of culture and society on every front that they possibly can. Yes, if the money and zeitgeist stops supporting trans, they will withdraw (temporarily at least) and focus their money and energy on other destabilizing causes. But they will never ever ever stop trying to eliminate what they call Capitalism, which is the elimination of all private property. They view the family unit as part of Capitalism.
Yes, that’s why billionaires like the Pritzkers, Rothblatts, Strykers push this —because of “Communism.”
You know what Communists tend to do? Start billion dollar, private companies in search of huge profits by making sales.
Also, since this is Communism, I guess that’s why “trans” is so common in China, where the Communist Party promotes it, and in Russia, where the leftover remnants from the Soviet Communists still hold so much power.
Please. These type of boomertard takes will go nowhere.
Where did they get the idea to support trans to begin with—putting aside those who are trans themselves? Why do they insist on going after kids? Why do they support laws that take children away from their parents if the parents are not sufficiently supportive of the ever-expanding trans/gender ideology? All of these steps are in accord with revolutionary tactics.
The radical Left is well-supported by wealthy people and billion-dollar foundations so the analysis of the roots of the problem doesn’t stop with the fact that wealthy people stand to lose their money if Communism actually comes to pass. My thoughts are directed towards the root of the problem, which is the radical Leftist agenda. They are deadly serious, organized, and dedicated people.
Okay, like I said, Communists tend to plant their ideas in families and individuals that found private, billion dollar companies in search of huge profits.
Makes sense why this is taking off in China.
Look up Magnus Hirschfeld. That's where this modern idea begins. It's not Communism. It's something else.
And he continues with his robotic responses! How far the U.S. (and Canada) have fallen. Utter claptrap BS. I wish his ex-wife would come forward. She likely suffered mental health issues after he declared he "was a woman". And his poor kids. Sure, live your life dressed as a woman. But how he ever got to be Head of Health and Human Services, making decisions that harm children and teens, is a travesty.
The Brits had it right up until just recently. Almost every comedy of the 1960s through to about 2010 had a stock transvestite character. This is because men dressed up unconvincingly as women are ridiculous and funny.
I don't object to this type of fetish behavior so long as they don't try to drag me into their psychosis.
Preferably they can do it in the privacy of their homes and private fetish clubs.
You write, "He must know that the feelings and desires of those suffering from intense mental impulses can be properly treated."
This is not really true. We girls and young women with eating disorders were cash cows and victims of ideologically driven, and/or profit-driven gaslighting by so-called "mental health experts" in exactly the same way children with so-called "gender dysphoria" are today. The difference is that "gender dysphoria" is 100% artificially caused and fostered whereas eating disorders were a bit more real. Neither one would I call "mental illness" as I reject that term. The terms "mental health" and "mental illness" were invented just like "transgender" was invented, to destroy lives, to get the government inside our heads and relationships where it doesn't belong. Calling a child "mentally ill" is just as evil as telling him or her he or she was "born in the wrong body."
"Gender" is hardly the first or only criminal abuse of minors and young people by so-called "mental health experts". No one ever questions the ideas, ideologies, beliefs and assumptions they operate on and which drive the words they say to children and teenagers behind closed doors, with no one else around.
Eating disorders exist, not just a "bit more real" (in your terms). Anorexia and bulimia exist. Doctors do not give 70 pound anorexics liposuction to "affirm" their delusions. People have successfully recovered from such disorders, and "affirmation" is not what lead to that.
"Trans" does not exist. Nobody has gone from male to female, even the ones who pass. Nobody has a "gender identity." Doctors "affirm" delusions because it's a giant money maker, not because sex can be changed (it cannot).
There is such a thing as mental illness. Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, etc. You can reject whatever term you want. This does not mean people out there aren't suffering. People don't pretend to hear voices or go on manic phases just for fun. Mental illness exists.
I didn't say the medical industry in this country is great. But to pretend mental health isn't a major problem in this country is to deny reality. And yes, it's time to question the ideas they operate on, and plenty people do. You said "no one ever questions"--that's not true. People question the use of antidepressants, the validity of therapy for certain groups, etc. It happens all the time.
Lol. People hold all sorts of wacky beliefs including many we call religious beliefs and protect in the law, and do not call "mental illness." "Mental illness" - the phrase and the powerful state-entwined industry - just means the government intruding into and controlling our minds, relationships and private lives. It doesn't mean what you think it means.
Religions exist and religious belief is a human right as protected by human rights law. It's an expression of religious belief. Any society that has attempted to stamp out religion by force has failed, and lead to massive human rights violations. Anyone with a basic understanding of history (sadly, not that many people) knows that.
Someone who thinks the TV is talking to him and therefore he has to enact what the TV is telling him is not akin to someone who is a practicing Christian or Mormon. Someone who thinks that he's actually Napoleon and wants to be crowned the Emperor of France in Notre Dame does not have the constitutionally protected right to demand it.
Those are delusions which can and should be treated. A large reason why the US is having major crime and homelessness problems is because mentally ill people do not have access to hospitals and treatment. I can provide multiple examples.
If you cannot understand that then I'm afraid this won't make sense to you. If you have personal issues to due your personal experience with mental health treatment, that is something for you to come to terms with. To claim that it does not exist or religion is just like schizophrenia is just not defensible.
And btw, I'm an atheist, so I'm not religious at all. I understand that there is a difference because there is.
He’s a man, but I have objections to the idea that it’s okay to call trans people by their previous names. I’m not a fan of Islam, but I wouldn’t insist that Muhammad Ali’s “real” name was Cassius Clay. He had the right, as a competent adult in a free country, to legally change his name to Muhammad Ali.
Neither my mother nor I changed our names when we got married, and have had years of people calling us names that aren’t ours, because they think our names are “supposed” to be something else. Levine is unable to change himself into a woman, but he has the right to make his legal name any ridiculous thing he wants. If free adults can’t control what our names are, what *can* we control?
I don't care what his legal first name is. His "legal gender" is marked as "F" but I still call him a man.
There's no such thing as "trans" people. He's a man. I will call him a man's name.
I do that to make a point because these men think they have the right to force themselves into women's prisons, where they commit rape. That's what they're getting away with. If you're worried about a name, that means you don't have your priorities straight
Muhammad Ali actually converted to Islam. That is possible. Someone can join an ideology like Islam.
It is impossible for a man to become a woman.
That is why I do this on purpose, and I don't care if he's an adult. This is beyond that. If you break and make a concession on the name, you opened the floodgates and now you're part of the problem. Why won't you call him "she" then? Why can't he play women's sports then? Why call him Rachel then?
This is a crisis. It's to make a point and teach these men a lesson. I won't call Bruce Jenner "Caitlyn." I won't call any man by a girl's name. They use it as a weapon so this takes that away.
Even small things like this make a difference. And if following their rules leads us to this, what is the point of following those rules?
I’m not “following their rules.” I’m following my own rule that it’s both petty and obnoxious to refuse to use someone’s actual name because you don’t like what it is.
Levine will always be a man because it’s embedded in his DNA. He’s a man who changed his first name to Rachel, like how Lionel Shriver is a woman who changed her first name to Lionel. “You’re a man, so you have to behave in the socially prescribed way men must behave” is not a philosophy I align myself with.
I’m with J. K. Rowling - people can dress how they want and call themselves whatever they want, but biological sex is real.
I see your point, but I also think we are far, far past that point. Kat is not wrong to point out that, as with all delusional narcissists, if you give an inch they will take a mile. Also, if you haven’t yet, you should Google “pronouns are rohypnol”. It’s an excellent piece that lays out why a small act of politeness is… well, not what it seems.
Motivations matter as do consequences. There are no relevant consequences for Lionel Shriver using a male name to sell more books. Richard Levine’s name change is far, far more fraught, both in motivation and consequence. Of course it’s up to you to use what language you want, but personally I do not want to be part of a delusional male’s attempts to get off on making society bend to his delusion. That is exactly what this is, by the way. It’s about the right of fetishistic men to include all of us in their ejaculations. It is about the semen soaked tights and fishnets, ultimately. It is a men’s sexual rights movement masquerading as a civil rights movement.
Thanks for seeing my point, even if you disagree. 🙂 I just don’t see a contradiction in acknowledging that the former Richard Levine is a man named Rachel, and I think the gender-critical movement (or whatever term you want to use) is at a point where it’s running the risk of looping backwards and enforcing gender norms. I feel like eight-ish years ago, the message was, “You can’t change if you’re a man or a woman, no matter how you present.” Now it feels like it’s morphing into, “You can’t change if you’re a man or a woman, so quit presenting in ways associated with the opposite sex.” And that’s not the ideology I “signed up for.”
For some gender critical women, particularly those who have been on the ramparts for some time, we believe a man adopting a feminised name signifies not a "personal" preference but is another aspect of the public political statement trans identified men intend to make. Getting compliance when others use it is also a factor in gratifying their paraphilia.
Many GC women like me don't feel conflicted rejecting specific details of TIM identity claims, such as the seemingly inconsequential matter of personal names or clothing choices. We reject the whole spectacle, without pretense that specific parts can be separated and found to be acceptable.
Following rules set up by people like you has lead us to where we are today.
What good are your rules? They're useless.
You're quibbling over calling a man Rachel while men commit rape in women's prisons.
This is useless.
I'm aiming at solving bigger problems. I will call a man Richard, and there is nothing you can do about it.
What "ideology" did you sign up for? Calling men women's names?
Good luck with that. Keep fighting about this, see how many more male rapists get put in women's prisons while you do. Good job.
I'm done repeating myself over this.
He's a man. I'm calling him Richard. In fact, I'm doing it on purpose to prove a point. That is, that men will not get away with making any demands, no matter how small. The small ones lead up to where we are today.
I wasn’t responding to you in my last comment, I was responding to Oli Blah blah. I would have been done with this conversation had s/he not replied, because you and I are obviously not going to agree.
As long as we’re both still here, though, I’m curious about something. J. K. Rowling is probably the most prominent celebrity voice against trans rights activism and has alerted countless people to the ways it violates women’s rights. At the same time, she doesn’t share your belief that trans-identified men should always be called by their birth names. Do you think she’s a “people like you” who’s contributed to men being put in women’s prisons, even though she’s staked her whole reputation on being vocally *against* men being put in women’s prisons?
Reading this piece was exhilarating. It’s so good to see writers gathering up the courage to speak truth to power. We need more.
Hey thanks!
I've been a woman since I was dropped into this word 44 years ago and I'm DYING to know what 'women feels' are🙄
Well according to cross dressing men, it's whatever pops into their empty, porn-damaged heads!
Isn't it just??? I will never forget the 'wide eyes and expectant asshole' comment of a few years ago. Porn has destroyed most wee lassies first times,many reporting that their boyfriend would choke them during sex. Fkn sad times all round hun😢
That's Andrew "Andrea" Chu, one of the worst offenders. He's disgusting, and he openly admitted pornography damaged him and caused this.
But these poor, sad men are so marginalized that Andrew Chu somehow got awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Mind-numbing.

My thoughts are directed towards the root of the problem, which is the radical Leftist agenda. They are deadly serious, organized, and dedicated people.
The ad-hominem btw is noted.
Okay, like I said, Communists tend to plant their ideas in families and individuals that found private, billion dollar companies in search of huge profits.
Makes sense why this is taking off in China.
Look up Magnus Hirschfeld. That's where this modern idea begins. It's not Communism. It's something else.
I’m not clear where your disagreement is coming from. Is it that you think the trans movement has nothing to do with the Left?
And he continues with his robotic responses! How far the U.S. (and Canada) have fallen. Utter claptrap BS. I wish his ex-wife would come forward. She likely suffered mental health issues after he declared he "was a woman". And his poor kids. Sure, live your life dressed as a woman. But how he ever got to be Head of Health and Human Services, making decisions that harm children and teens, is a travesty.
It’s the Biden administration’s cowardice toward all things trans!
The Brits had it right up until just recently. Almost every comedy of the 1960s through to about 2010 had a stock transvestite character. This is because men dressed up unconvincingly as women are ridiculous and funny.
I don't object to this type of fetish behavior so long as they don't try to drag me into their psychosis.
Preferably they can do it in the privacy of their homes and private fetish clubs.
You write, "He must know that the feelings and desires of those suffering from intense mental impulses can be properly treated."
This is not really true. We girls and young women with eating disorders were cash cows and victims of ideologically driven, and/or profit-driven gaslighting by so-called "mental health experts" in exactly the same way children with so-called "gender dysphoria" are today. The difference is that "gender dysphoria" is 100% artificially caused and fostered whereas eating disorders were a bit more real. Neither one would I call "mental illness" as I reject that term. The terms "mental health" and "mental illness" were invented just like "transgender" was invented, to destroy lives, to get the government inside our heads and relationships where it doesn't belong. Calling a child "mentally ill" is just as evil as telling him or her he or she was "born in the wrong body."
"Gender" is hardly the first or only criminal abuse of minors and young people by so-called "mental health experts". No one ever questions the ideas, ideologies, beliefs and assumptions they operate on and which drive the words they say to children and teenagers behind closed doors, with no one else around.
Eating disorders exist, not just a "bit more real" (in your terms). Anorexia and bulimia exist. Doctors do not give 70 pound anorexics liposuction to "affirm" their delusions. People have successfully recovered from such disorders, and "affirmation" is not what lead to that.
"Trans" does not exist. Nobody has gone from male to female, even the ones who pass. Nobody has a "gender identity." Doctors "affirm" delusions because it's a giant money maker, not because sex can be changed (it cannot).
There is such a thing as mental illness. Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, etc. You can reject whatever term you want. This does not mean people out there aren't suffering. People don't pretend to hear voices or go on manic phases just for fun. Mental illness exists.
I didn't say the medical industry in this country is great. But to pretend mental health isn't a major problem in this country is to deny reality. And yes, it's time to question the ideas they operate on, and plenty people do. You said "no one ever questions"--that's not true. People question the use of antidepressants, the validity of therapy for certain groups, etc. It happens all the time.
Please share your story, if you're willing... I'm honestly interested
If it’s not a mental illness to think you’re”born in the wrong body”, what is it?
It certainly isn’t real.. what these kids are thinking or have been taught to think.
Lol. People hold all sorts of wacky beliefs including many we call religious beliefs and protect in the law, and do not call "mental illness." "Mental illness" - the phrase and the powerful state-entwined industry - just means the government intruding into and controlling our minds, relationships and private lives. It doesn't mean what you think it means.
Religions exist and religious belief is a human right as protected by human rights law. It's an expression of religious belief. Any society that has attempted to stamp out religion by force has failed, and lead to massive human rights violations. Anyone with a basic understanding of history (sadly, not that many people) knows that.
Someone who thinks the TV is talking to him and therefore he has to enact what the TV is telling him is not akin to someone who is a practicing Christian or Mormon. Someone who thinks that he's actually Napoleon and wants to be crowned the Emperor of France in Notre Dame does not have the constitutionally protected right to demand it.
Those are delusions which can and should be treated. A large reason why the US is having major crime and homelessness problems is because mentally ill people do not have access to hospitals and treatment. I can provide multiple examples.
If you cannot understand that then I'm afraid this won't make sense to you. If you have personal issues to due your personal experience with mental health treatment, that is something for you to come to terms with. To claim that it does not exist or religion is just like schizophrenia is just not defensible.
And btw, I'm an atheist, so I'm not religious at all. I understand that there is a difference because there is.
Call him by the common nickname for men named Richard: “Dick!”
What’s his legal first name?
He’s a man, but I have objections to the idea that it’s okay to call trans people by their previous names. I’m not a fan of Islam, but I wouldn’t insist that Muhammad Ali’s “real” name was Cassius Clay. He had the right, as a competent adult in a free country, to legally change his name to Muhammad Ali.
Neither my mother nor I changed our names when we got married, and have had years of people calling us names that aren’t ours, because they think our names are “supposed” to be something else. Levine is unable to change himself into a woman, but he has the right to make his legal name any ridiculous thing he wants. If free adults can’t control what our names are, what *can* we control?
I don't care what his legal first name is. His "legal gender" is marked as "F" but I still call him a man.
There's no such thing as "trans" people. He's a man. I will call him a man's name.
I do that to make a point because these men think they have the right to force themselves into women's prisons, where they commit rape. That's what they're getting away with. If you're worried about a name, that means you don't have your priorities straight
Muhammad Ali actually converted to Islam. That is possible. Someone can join an ideology like Islam.
It is impossible for a man to become a woman.
That is why I do this on purpose, and I don't care if he's an adult. This is beyond that. If you break and make a concession on the name, you opened the floodgates and now you're part of the problem. Why won't you call him "she" then? Why can't he play women's sports then? Why call him Rachel then?
This is a crisis. It's to make a point and teach these men a lesson. I won't call Bruce Jenner "Caitlyn." I won't call any man by a girl's name. They use it as a weapon so this takes that away.
Even small things like this make a difference. And if following their rules leads us to this, what is the point of following those rules?
I call him Richard. End of story.
I’m not “following their rules.” I’m following my own rule that it’s both petty and obnoxious to refuse to use someone’s actual name because you don’t like what it is.
Levine will always be a man because it’s embedded in his DNA. He’s a man who changed his first name to Rachel, like how Lionel Shriver is a woman who changed her first name to Lionel. “You’re a man, so you have to behave in the socially prescribed way men must behave” is not a philosophy I align myself with.
I’m with J. K. Rowling - people can dress how they want and call themselves whatever they want, but biological sex is real.
LOL okay, male rapists are in women's prisons.
You keep calling him Rachel, see where it gets you.
I see your point, but I also think we are far, far past that point. Kat is not wrong to point out that, as with all delusional narcissists, if you give an inch they will take a mile. Also, if you haven’t yet, you should Google “pronouns are rohypnol”. It’s an excellent piece that lays out why a small act of politeness is… well, not what it seems.
Motivations matter as do consequences. There are no relevant consequences for Lionel Shriver using a male name to sell more books. Richard Levine’s name change is far, far more fraught, both in motivation and consequence. Of course it’s up to you to use what language you want, but personally I do not want to be part of a delusional male’s attempts to get off on making society bend to his delusion. That is exactly what this is, by the way. It’s about the right of fetishistic men to include all of us in their ejaculations. It is about the semen soaked tights and fishnets, ultimately. It is a men’s sexual rights movement masquerading as a civil rights movement.
Thanks for seeing my point, even if you disagree. 🙂 I just don’t see a contradiction in acknowledging that the former Richard Levine is a man named Rachel, and I think the gender-critical movement (or whatever term you want to use) is at a point where it’s running the risk of looping backwards and enforcing gender norms. I feel like eight-ish years ago, the message was, “You can’t change if you’re a man or a woman, no matter how you present.” Now it feels like it’s morphing into, “You can’t change if you’re a man or a woman, so quit presenting in ways associated with the opposite sex.” And that’s not the ideology I “signed up for.”
For some gender critical women, particularly those who have been on the ramparts for some time, we believe a man adopting a feminised name signifies not a "personal" preference but is another aspect of the public political statement trans identified men intend to make. Getting compliance when others use it is also a factor in gratifying their paraphilia.
Many GC women like me don't feel conflicted rejecting specific details of TIM identity claims, such as the seemingly inconsequential matter of personal names or clothing choices. We reject the whole spectacle, without pretense that specific parts can be separated and found to be acceptable.
Following rules set up by people like you has lead us to where we are today.
What good are your rules? They're useless.
You're quibbling over calling a man Rachel while men commit rape in women's prisons.
This is useless.
I'm aiming at solving bigger problems. I will call a man Richard, and there is nothing you can do about it.
What "ideology" did you sign up for? Calling men women's names?
Good luck with that. Keep fighting about this, see how many more male rapists get put in women's prisons while you do. Good job.
I'm done repeating myself over this.
He's a man. I'm calling him Richard. In fact, I'm doing it on purpose to prove a point. That is, that men will not get away with making any demands, no matter how small. The small ones lead up to where we are today.
End of story. Accept it and move on.
I wasn’t responding to you in my last comment, I was responding to Oli Blah blah. I would have been done with this conversation had s/he not replied, because you and I are obviously not going to agree.
As long as we’re both still here, though, I’m curious about something. J. K. Rowling is probably the most prominent celebrity voice against trans rights activism and has alerted countless people to the ways it violates women’s rights. At the same time, she doesn’t share your belief that trans-identified men should always be called by their birth names. Do you think she’s a “people like you” who’s contributed to men being put in women’s prisons, even though she’s staked her whole reputation on being vocally *against* men being put in women’s prisons?
I call him Richard also ! He was born male , so he’s not a “Rachel” !
And, yes, it’s a crisis . We can’t do a lot but every little bit helps… honesty helps to overcome lies.
I call him “that fucking monster” or “man with even less understanding of what it’s like to be a woman than any normal man”
A bit of a mouthful but I like clarity.
Some possibilities:
1. Rachel née Richard ...
2. Rachel f.k.a. Richard (formerly known as)
3. Richard "Rachel" ... (Nickname style
I'm inclined toward "née" for the touch of mockery in aping the obsolete usage of the Society pages.
I'm going to just stick with Richard.
I like Rachel Cleansing, because it’s the best drag name ever and he looks like a really shit drag act from the 70s
Hahaha
