Thanks to Fred Sargeant on twitter for bringing my attention to this amazing piece of writing. Enjoy!

"Transplainer on lesbians, why they're all suffering from unresolved internalized gender dysphoria and why they need to shut up from a trans extremist who calls himself a "top writer on feminism.

Is the writer a woman? I've no idea.

He didn't need all that waffle. He summarised what he wants in one phrase about half-way through: "in an ideal world they’d just be quiet".

You know when you are a precocious teen and write angsty, angry poetry; and what you think are deep and masterful treatises on the unfairness of life, the universe and everything...?

Like Rik from The Young Ones. "Felicity, Felicity, you fill me with electricity....."

I understand that Medium writers are financially rewarded for clicks so here's a link for anyone who doesn't want to reward this woman for that spooge puddle of an article.

Ooh look, a male telling females that they just haven't had the right cock yet.

Again.

I read the TRA comments on one of Jane Clare Jones' articles yesterday and all they boil down to really, over and over again, is about wanting to be a woman (whatever that is) while simultaneously broadcasting 'I hate female people'. The total lack of self awareness is boggling.

I found it hilarious enough to get through. I liked the bit about "male presenting body." I've been a wannabe linguistics geek for yonks, but I've never seen language shift so quickly before my eyes as with this lot.

Also, if he thinks lesbians are dealing with unresolved gender dysphoria, he couldn't call them "cis," could he?

NotTerfNorCis · 17/01/2020 12:03

Well that's delightfully bonkers.

You people should be grateful that a man has taken the time to explain womanhood to you - especially the lesbians who will benefit from his instructions on how to be a lesbian properly.

I am more and more believing that a transwoman who calls me a TERF just completely proves the point that they don't know the first thing about what it "feels like" to be a woman. Every time I see/hear "I feel like a woman" I think that to me what it feels like to be a woman currently is frustrated and terrified of the way the trans movement is going. That's my definition of me as a woman going forward.

Yes Buzz I can feel the stampy little feet to be honest I couldn't manage the whole thing
