Why trans women need misogyny

Trans ideology and feminism are completely incompatible

I work as a gig delivery driver. You would recognize the name of the company I contract with (am not employed by), and it rhymes with Goober Teats. The work itself is fairly simple; the hard bit for me is the relational bit you sometimes have to do when things go wrong, because I don't deal well with the occasional person who is irrational when they are angry*. But mostly it's straightforward. I break up the monotony by playing music from my playlist or, when that wears thin because it's time to add songs to it**, I just think about stuff.

While driving (and at other times), I think a lot about the transgender issue***, for reasons which will become obvious as you follow along on my Substack as well as reasons which aren't so obvious but which I will list at some point. Along those lines, whilst ruminating behind the wheel one day recently, I had a lightbulb moment about one way transgender ideology works. I thought I'd share it more widely.

I've been saying (elsewhere, under various names) for ages that transgender ideology is sexist. I typically offer vague arguments to support this. I finally hit on a clear one.

I'm going to pick on trans women for this bit. It's probably my civic duty, at this point.

Being a woman, I can say that one big reason women say "I'm a woman" is just because we want to inform people that we are women, just so they know which sex class we're in (men being the other sex class, and there is no third one, not even in clownfish). Personally, when I say I'm a woman I'm only announcing that I'm an adult female human being who was born with ovaries. I say it in the same spirit as announcing that I am right-handed. It is just a data point about me, and doesn't carry any mystical meaning.

Other women may throw in additional meanings for that phrase. I have known women who were quite woo-woo about being women. These days many of them are some of the biggest handmaidens of the trans movement imaginable, which is no surprise. But if you take away the woo-woo, these women still exist, just as much women as they were with the woo-woo. Imagine.

When a trans woman says he's a woman, of course he is not announcing he is an adult female human who was born with ovaries. He knows he wasn't born with ovaries. We all know he wasn't born with ovaries. This is a done deal and no one's going to debate it unless they're fucking lunatics or sociopaths. With me so far? Cool. So what is he doing?

If you look at most trans women your brain goes "man" and that's that. They also know they look like men, and that you see them as men. They don't like it, but they know it.

The calling themselves women isn't because they think that'll make you see them as women. It's because they want you to treat them as women. The insisting on she/her pronouns fits right into that, too.

When they think of being treated as women they don't mean being treated as if they were born with ovaries, either. A few particular nutsos like the UK's India Willoughby will claim they have a cervix and that sort of nonsense, though they're lying through their teeth and we all know that too. Most of them -- even the most diehard "trans women are literal women" bullies -- will admit they know better, and they aren't even trying to get us to play along.

Rather, they think that there is a proper way to behave toward women and a proper way to behave toward men, and that those modes of behavior are completely different from one another. And they want us to behave toward them the way we are supposed to behave toward women.

If a trans woman can’t grow a uterus to “feel like a woman,” he can still “feel like a woman” if another man calls him a bimbo.

If you look at it in that way it isn't hard to figure out why they wanted to fuck the feminist movement hard and early. Feminism was on the way to changing society so that we behave mostly the same toward women as we do toward men. Well, how society treats women was the only thing that really made women different than men once you got past the biology. And trans women don't have the biology. So they need to maintain all the non-biological differences in the "woman" package so that they can fit into that part of it.

You catch glimpses of this when they complain about some male celebrity who has taken it upon himself to go around in skirts without declaring himself a woman. They were pretty irate about Will Smith's son Jaden for doing that, for instance. I would imagine they had a few choice words to say about Harry Styles, too.

They come off as Very Angry Chameleons. "Wah! We can't disguise ourselves as women when you take away the foliage we were going to hide in!"

Dude... no. Everyone sees you in your fake lizard suit. Stand up and get out of there. Try for a little dignity. Damn.

But realizing all of this makes me even more determined that pro-trans "feminism" isn't feminism at all. Here women and girls are, trying to break our cultural chains, and these nitwits are telling us we have to keep the chains on so that some men can wear them too. No wonder they are all going "it can be feminist to wear makeup and miniskirts!" Who needs that bullshit? I'm done.

I am saying some people really blow things out of proportion and, unfortunately in these situations, the customer holds all the power whether they are right or not. Fortunately I don't run into this very often, but it rattles me every time. Let's just say I plan to expand my skills in order to explore other industries and we'll leave it at that.

Or enough of you could subscribe to this Substack that I could take early retirement.

...Nah.

**Arrrrr.

***I have, as of this writing, delivered safe, fresh, untampered-with food to at least three people known to be transgender-sympathetic if not actually transgender-identified**** themselves, if the bumper stickers on their cars or the flags in front of their homes or their own personal appearance were anything to go by. If I were a danger to trans people, I think that would have become really fucking obvious by now, particularly as prison would mean free room and board and I'm currently struggling hard to maintain both. Calm down, Braden.

****It's just a label. Under no definition of trans does trans actually work in the real world, thus I do not believe there are any actual trans people, but rather that they misdiagnose themselves. I just use the label because it's familiar to muggles*****. I'll likely write about that here at some point, too.

*****Please don't sue me, JK Rowling. "Muggles" is a fantastic word for people who are not "in the loop" on a given issue. I will love it and squeeze it and pet it and call it "muggles." That's a compliment. Thank you.
