The Guardian is once more peddling male fantasies of what a teenage girl is:

www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/11/juno-dawson-trans-alice-wonderland-interview-spice-girls

Dawson has written a novel based on Alice in Wonderland, but with a trans lead character:

'Wonderland is also a wake-up call to anyone who believes gender reassignment might be a happy-ever-after. Alice has recently returned to school after three months in hospital following a suicide attempt. “While I’m delighted with my perky little boobs,” she says, “I was profoundly disappointed that my urge to cut myself didn’t vanish with the first milligram of oestrogen to pass my lips.” Her problems, Dawson points out, are those of all too many young women. “When I’m at the Hay book festival or at Yale, these teenagers come into my signing queues and they are scarred. It must be talked about because it permanently affects girls.”'

Yes, teenage girls are really delighted with their perky little boobs, you misogynist little creep.

X post! Poor Germaine. I imagine she took a long hard look at herself in the mirror that night when she realised she’d been bested. How did her life reach such a point when someone could pull out of a book festival because of her? I’m sure she checked her thinking 🤣🤣🤣

She came out in an interview with the news website Buzzfeed the day after Germaine Greer declared on Newsnight that “transgender women are not women” – and two years later took revenge by pulling out of a book festival in protest at the inclusion of Greer.

I’m sure Germaine was devastated 😆😆😆

In a previous interview Dawson said:

"I just wanted to get f**d like a woman. That's what it's about. It's not about what hole it's going in"

Sounds like a badly written sexualised fantasy. Perky little boobs? No girl or woman thinks like that. Not one.

They don't have a clue what a woman is do they?

Yuck.
