Too much evolving
Is it hypnosis? Terror? Room 101? Hostage taking?
The Vancouver Dyke March assures us it is “centering” trans people. Cool. Next up: anti-racism march to center white people. Poor People’s March to center billionaires. Union march to center scabs. Atheist march to center Westboro Baptists.
In a bid to stamp out trans-misogyny and transphobia, the Vancouver Dyke March is centring the voices of trans people at this year’s march, which takes place Aug. 3, in East Vancouver.
Actual dykes can just stfu, right?
Dannielle Livengood, secretary treasurer of the Dyke March said the group invited WAVAW Rape Crisis Centre to be grand marshals of the march, because it admires how the centre has evolved to include trans, non-binary and gender diverse people in its sexual assault support services.
Aw yeah, evolving is so admirable. Shall we all evolve to include Trump in our anti-Trump campaigns?
Last year, a group of about 30 people showed up to “antagonize” trans people, Livengood said.
“The biggest problem of having these TERFs, or Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists … is that their tactics are often very subtle,” she said.
“To the uninitiated observer (their signs) can be very innocent, often with things like ‘Stop lesbian erasure,’ or two Venus symbols, and these seem like really legitimate things that most people would overlook, but often are weaponized against, particularly, trans women.”
How shocking. So let’s by all means erase lesbians and ban double Venus symbols, for the sake of men who claim to be women. Let’s center men who claim to be women in everything, and most especially in dyke marches.
People who are anti-trans don’t see trans women as women, said Livengood, who hesitated to explain what the protestors might have meant with their slogans for fear of giving them another platform.
That is, for fear of revealing the fact that what the protesters meant with their slogans was simply to point out the truth: that men are not women, and that women need and have a right to organize as women.
“Unfortunately, these people see biological and genetic sex traits as immutable and unchangeable, so they see trans women as taking over women’s spaces, or erasing lesbians, however the Dyke March proudly asserts that trans women are women and everyone who identifies as trans has a valid identity.”
The Dyke March also proudly asserts that bears are peaches and hammers are the Mississippi and climate change is Fake News. Whee!
Maybe people who are “anti-trans” don’t see transwomen as women. But neither do I.
I’ll bet they have signs that say other “subtle,” “innocent” things like “Women don’t have penises,” or “Lesbian: female homosexual.”
Okay, not so much subtle as fucking blindingly obvious. Shows just how much reality denial one is forced to accept in pleasing trans ideologues. Subtle or obvious, these are, in fact, really legitimate things. That trans identified men find reality to be “weaponized” against them is not reality’s problem. Nor lesbian’s problem, for that matter.
So, for “the initiated” material reality is a massive anti-trans conspiracy designed to “antagonize” trans identified men. Feminism and dyke marches are to be centered on them because material reality itself is centered upon them in stubborn, malevolent opposition. Anything less than validation, affirmation, and, most importantly, submission, is transphobia and TERFhood.
So on August 3rd, there will be a “dyke march” for heterosexual men? Take a man who claims to be a woman and who also claims to be a lesbian and when the lies are stripped away, what are you left with? A heterosexual dude.
May as well rename it the Sausagefest Experience or something.
Hey, I’m a man, so my thoughts on Lesbian rights may not count for much, but anyway, I am confused.
It would appear that all trans women are women and therefore all women are lesbians, else why would trans women need to be part of a “Dyke March”?
Are there no hetro trans women? Or would that make the CIS?
I think I need another coffeffee.
Kayyyy… but then it is no longer the Dyke March, it is now the Trans March with lesbians as an also-ran. Why can’t the female sex have its own thing?
Um, yes. Or are you suggesting that genetics can be changed? Can a man ever become an XX female? Can his anatomy change without surgery? Amazing!
And for some reason the trans community sees the culturally based gender traits as being immutable and unchangeable – or innate and essential, which is basically the same thing.
So a child with a penis who is born wanting to wear a skirt (because that so happens, right?) is actually a penis-having female, and the doctors are violently assuming that the presence of a penis, scrotum, and testicles makes one a male. Because everyone knows those are not really male organs, but merely markers of a particular type of female (or male, if the person so identifies).
These people have lost all touch with reality.
