Federalist– First transgenderism destroyed the meaning of womanhood. Now, gender-fluidity and non-binary have destroyed the meaning of transgender.
Once-celebrated author J.K. Rowling has been mobbed online for recognizing that womanhood is determined by biological sex, not feelings, tweeting support for a British feminist who lost her job over the issue.
Vox, the “explainer” site, cannot fathom how biology comes into play when determining who is and isn’t a woman. Its article went so far as to say Rowling’s tweet in support of Maya Forstater was “transphobic,” and that Rowling “just ruined Harry Potter.” Other social media accounts label her and anyone who believes in the reality of biological sex with the derogatory term TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists).
Progressives claim to encourage you to “live your truth.” But there are some truths you just can’t live, you see. Forstater lost her job at a think tank because she pointed out that a male does not deserve to be given awards meant for females, and for numerous comments supporting the idea that biology determines one’s sexual identity, not feelings.
Forstater’s contract with her employer was not renewed because of her beliefs about the biological reality of sex, so she sued under the Equality Act, saying she was unfairly discriminated against for her feminism.
But in order for Forstater’s understanding to be protected as a “philosophical belief” under section 10 of the Equality Act 2010, it must adhere to five requirements set forth by a previous court decision. One reads: “it must be worthy of respect in a democratic society, not be incompatible with human dignity and not conflict with the fundamental rights of others.”
Forstater ran afoul of this extremely subjective requirement and lost her judgment. The requirement demonstrates that virtually the only thing one can be sure of in this brave new world is the primacy of feelings over any other consideration, including dignity and the right to think differently than some in the government would prefer.
Trans Ideology Versus Women’s Dignity
Forstater criticized Phillip “Pippa” Bunce for receiving an award meant for women. The director of Credit Suisse, who spends half his time “expressing” the persona of Pippa by wearing makeup, a wig, and dresses, was included in The Financial Times HERoes Champions of Women in Business list, although there is an equivalent list for men.
According to the employment tribunal, Forstater’s criticism of men assuming the roles and placements of women, who have fought since time immemorial for their rights and accomplishments to be recognized, violates “human dignity.” This is where we see what the gender revolutionaries really think of women.

This recent focus on transgender politics is nothing more than the rankest of rank opportunism by the progressive movement. The media is the progressive movement’s Ministry of Propaganda and has followed the script without deviation or questions.
I have known and been friends with two different transgender individuals. Our friendships have developed around our common interests. Neither identify as transgender, they identify as human beings. Their transgender disposition has never been a topic of conversation until lately and the conversations we have had revolve around how they feel that their condition is being exploited by many including fakers and flakes who are invested in being the center of attention. They have expressed great consternation and disgust regarding how they are now identified by the public as idiots parading around Seattle and Portland wearing strap on dildos as fashion accessories, topped off by a gold tiara.
No one can offer any criticism of this nonsense without being labeled as being full of hate for transexuals in general and that is total bullshit. It is all to typical of how the progressive movement has destroyed any semblance of civility and common sense.
They are all HORRIBLE people. As soon as you disagree with their attention-getting “me me me” philosophy, they unload all their hate in your direction.
Islam is right about these people, and can’t wait for those two trains to collide in the Western world.
It’s completely ruined the best urinal standing joke,,
Nice cock!
Usually keeps them away,,,
Feminism is the cancerous malignant root of all degradation of the sexes – male and female. There are no virtues of any offshoot of feminism, that especially applies to the current manifestations of behavioral and mental dysfunctions – gender fluidity, transgenderism and intersectionality.
You have to destroy all existing norms, especially the most fundamental ones, to make the people confused and pliable enough to remake them into anything you want them to be as you provide new ones in their place.
That’s what all this normalizing of the abnormal and deviant is all about.
I love when the guppies eat each other.™
Granted, there are a lot of quacks out there, but I would not want any part of a doctor who delivers a baby, looks down at it’s cock, and declares, “it’s a girl!”
Mass insanity.
We’ve seen it before.
We’ll see it again (if we survive).
When the time comes they’ll starve, having concentrated all their efforts on “Hey! Look at me!” instead of developing skills.
No great loss.
izlamo delenda est …
So basically what the author is saying is that when it comes to gender fluidity, trannies are shooting themselves in the dick. Or even better, cutting off their face to smite their balls.

Blah, blah, blah. Muh wall of text! Muh footnotes! Muh celebrity cruise tickets!
Boots on the ground. First come, first served. Period. Full stop. (for now)
I, for one, welcome our new, beardy overlords.
(Sure, I’d prefer they pyre banksters, PBUT. But, both will force waddle feminists to oblivion. So, whoever’s over the ramparts first… I got yer back.)

Hey, with Affirmative Action Doctors that declaration will be a given!
