Notes on British Transphobia - a hilariously silly and inaccurate article by an "anti capitalist" group

[stumbledin]

Apart from not knowing who WPUK is and who Posie Parker is, they also dont understand Jane Austen!!

But they do know all about mumsnet:

" ... That the British media is transphobic is scarcely arguable. That transphobia is rife online is well established too. That the British website Mumsnet has become for internet transphobia what 4Chan was for Donald Trump’s alt-right is made clear by multiple investigations. And that the world looks on us as a swamp of such bigotry should be a cause for shame. But we are not fated to this muddle. ... "

WPUK response here womansplaceuk.org/2021/01/09/misfortune-the-lefts-betrayal-of-women-and-marxism/

are they against the Pharmaceutical capitalists?

This from WPUK sums it up, I think:

”We do not have time to wade through this twaddle and produce yet another rebuttal.”

”We regret that journalism of this quality passes for intellectual discourse within large parts of the Left but we hereby place our contempt on record.”

It’s more word salad, which fails to make sense on any level. If these people want to engage with reality and the arguments women put forward, then their words might be worth engaging with. Wading through twaddle is an excellent analysis.

Yeah it’s the blah blah blah stuff. I never even looked

Only one of us should spend time looking and let rest of us know

Spreading out tiresome tasks. Bit like my life at moment

" In truth, blockers are demonstrably not a risky experiment threatening children’s well-being, but an under-resourced intervention that permits trans teenagers an opportunity to mitigate gender dysphoria. It affords them the chance to decide on more serious treatments as adults. There is plenty of extant evidence that blockers are a vital service and, far from too readily provided, are overly restricted. Therefore, as with many social goods, they are often least available to the poorest. Numerous organisations have already taken apart the specious basis for this attack on trans rights. Their voices, however, are too rarely joined by socialists who ought to be, in Lenin’s words, tribunes of the oppressed."

Coo.

I'm confused. "Dr. Adrian Harrop was so moved by his patients’ desperation, he produced a forty-minute video explaining in layman’s terms the realities of hormone blockers."

Does Dr. Adrian Harrop actually have patients? I thought that he wasn't employed? Or at least, not as a doctor.

He mentions the "hate group" LGB Alliance and how some of their followers are neo-nazis. I have no idea if this is true, but would the author be willing to discuss the likes of David Challenor supporting trans rights? Or the endless violence towards women online from trans activists? Do those people exemplify the trans rights movement?

How can you go on about class and material reality and then seemlessly switch to the gendered soul.

The modern left is having a moment of insanity.

LGB Alliance has nee-nazi sympathisers

Jesus fucking Christ, the left needs to get its shit together, its an embarrassment.

Oh WPUK, I love you!
Best. Response. Ever.

Tsk. You "vulgar materialist" you

We look forward to the day when our detractors engage with our arguments instead of just making stuff up.

Don't we all.

How this got published us beyond be. It makes zero sense from the very first Marxist quote ..

They quote Karl Marx and then go on a rant he wouldn't recognise as Marxism in a million years. Where the fuck is their class analysis? Have they even thought of it? Heard of it?

They identify as Marxist.

Maybe men who have 'fully transitioned' have lost their means of production?

Whenever the gobsmacking dishonesty of the trans lobby gets me down, I can rely on some dauntless Mumsnetter to stick a cheeky pin in their inflated rhetoric and make me laugh instead.

to all women who refuse to put the handmaid headresses on.

Defaultname - worth setting up the thread just for that!
