Not sure if this has been posted, the writer tells us how frightened trans women are of cis women attacking them and how there are zero cases of transwomen hurting biological women 🙄. www.autostraddle.com/what-this-trans-survivor-wants-j-k-rowling-to-know/

What the deep-fried fuck is a '12 year old queer sissy'?

And this article, like so many before it, begs the question: at what objective point does a 'man who identifies as a woman' come out of the high risk category of 'male' and into the low risk category of 'female'?

Is JK a cis woman then? Of has she been abused there?

I’m was going to, “I’m not reading more of this twaddle, but here’s my opinion anyway”, when I thought that was intellectually dishonest and started reading.

I got to the “queer sissy” line and realised I’d wasted my time.

This “feeling unsafe”/“afraid of women”/“words as literal violence”/and so on, have nothing to do with reality, as we know.

It’s all of a piece with the narrative about transwomen being weak and delicate flowers, unable to open jars of lift boxes.

It’s a perverse and pornified interpretation of women’s experience as vulnerable to male violence. What, for women is a frightening understanding of how we live in the world, is used as an eroticised thrill.

While women are being killed and hurt, people like the writer are getting off on imagining themselves as vulnerable to those dangerous radfems. Not because radfems are a threat, but because their misogyny is so deeply ingrained, that being threatened by women, the lowest of the low, is the ultimate in submissive degradation.

They’re not afraid, they’re turned on.

I don't get why women are being blamed for not protecting people like the author from male violence when the blame should be on the men perpetuating the violence.

This transwoman seems to be under the impression all transwoman are gender dysphoric want to blend into the background, completely ignoring the existence of rapey, violent and autogynephilific transwomen. This is exactly the sort of narrative trans folk latch onto as a way of justifying male pattern violence.

So much nonsense in it, and so many fawning comments.
