And then she has the gall to talk about harm when the MWMF trans-exclusion policy sets an example for women’s services, for social spaces to exclude trans women. It sucks to not be allowed into a queer or dyke gathering as a lesbian trans woman, but it’s much worse when a trans woman is denied access to needed services like a DV shelter or rape counseling.

Trans women feelings are completely irrelevant to radical feminist’s construction of oppression. After all, gender is the oldest, overriding oppression there is. Nothing else can make it worse - not race, not orientation, not disability, not trans status.

Hell, to hear some of them talk, all trans women are treated as men after transition and partake of the same privilege, and this somehow happens without anyone beating us to death, because we sure as heck aren’t getting murdered two or three times each month.

Whenever I read stuff like that, I just want to scream “That’s not even wrong!” So much ignorant stuff that’s asserted and accepted without question, just to make trans women look like horrible monsters.

ARGH!

Right. It’s true because SHE SAYS SO.

Who cares what actual trans women think about that. I mean, in her formulation, it appears to me that trans women don’t actually exist.

So that claim — well, apparently it’s true because the cisgendered woman says so. And what she says goes. After all, who else has the right to define who is “really” a woman?

But she’s not privileged. Noooo. That is not the act and mentality of unquestioned entitlement. Nah.

She’s just oppressed. Couldn’t hurt a fly.
