la violette pensée

The thing about arguing with Radfems is that ..

polerin:

… you have to realize that most of them don’t actually consider trans women oppressed.  They think we are men, and benefit from male privilege.

They think that we are the oppressor of cis women.

Arguing that marginalized and/or oppressed groups should have their own safe spaces will only cause them to go “But what about FEMALES, we are oppressed, why do we have to let these MEN in?” or something along those lines.

It’s a core disconnect with reality that drives their worldview.  Everything wrong with how they treat us stems from this fallacy.

Yep. And the root of that fallacy is the very fallacy that feminism has been trying to destroy since the very beginning, namely, that biology does not equal destiny.

There is an extreme cognitive dissonance that one is required to ignore if one is to accept radical feminist theory concerning trans women. They construct sex and gender to be both real and unreal at the same time, and this dichotomy is the source of their confusion.

Radical feminism is neither radical, nor is it feminism. It is patriarchy, pure and simple, internalised and used as a weapon by women against women.
