Vice: how an online forum for moms became a toxic hotbed of transphobia

Thought people might be interested in this article. One thing that strikes me is the 'reducing women to their biology' argument. Don't transwomen 'know' they're not male because their body feels wrong? Then it is about biology isn't it? Otherwise why do they think they're female?

Bearing in mind the excellent recent performances of Dr Jane Clare Jones, Prof Kathleen Stock, Dr Nic Williams, Julian Norman, Susan Smith and the usual excellent Jean Hatchett etc.

-- Holding out for a shero

Where have sound MP women gone

And where are all the gods?

Where's the streetwise Athena to fight the dudebro clods?

Isn't there a skjaldmær upon a fiery steed?

Late at night I toss and I turn

And I'm clear on what I need

I need a shero

I'm holding out for a shero with an end to this plight

She's gotta be smart

And she's gotta be fast

And she's gotta be up for the fight

I need a shero

I'm holding out for a shero with a sense of what's right

She's gotta speak well

And she's gotta write too

And she's gotta be larger than life!

Larger than life

Somewhere amidst this fight

Somewhere just beyond my reach

A woman reaches back for me

Racing on the thunder, and smiting down deceit

She's a cerebral Valkyrie who's versed in law n street

etc...

I got deleted for being inflammatory. I'm querying this with the mods.

NotANotMan · 09/12/2018 13:48

Herfemaleness's post has gone - I know it's the one I thought was amazing, was it one of the songs? Did anyone SS?

WomenPeople · 09/12/2018 13:49

This thread is the best 👍🏻

X post. Angry

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 09/12/2018 13:50

If HerFemaleness's song was Common People, I've got it.

WomenPeople · 09/12/2018 13:51

Another cross post. What did you post?

I'm screenshotting them too, for posterity. They deserve to be recorded onto a terfy album
