Self appointed Guardians of Womanhood

    Germaine Greer is, in my opinion from her very recent outbursts of more than unseasonal "seasonal good-will to all" Transphobia, both sadly 'confused' and equally sadly also where this (Transported to 'Outer Pomgolia', as a woman of questionable virtue) excuse and apology for a  woman, and a  disgrace to 'Feminism', confuses the Transgender Community with "Drag Queens and Kings", who are, in themselves charged with, and required to exaggerate, sex-identifying features and/or markers (make-up, hair and clothes) in their professional work.

     

    For whatever reason (financial or personal aggrandisment, perhaps), Messrs Greer, Hopkins and 'old-crone' cronies are, without exception, highly invested in their self-appointed rôle of criticising Trans-women's experiences, through their published articles and books, together with their tiresome and boring TV/radio and programme/documentary appearances.

     

    Many trans people are males, and form an important part of our community. They derive psychological comfort and happiness from their intermediate status in inflexible currently-defined Western Cultural Gender Identification. Some of our sisters are Bi-gender, and are obliged to swap between their two gender identities, as and when dictated by Nature. All of us have, for whatever reason, no choice. Greer does have a choice. So, why doesn't she crawl back into the sewer of her choice and shut her mouth, before it fills with more 'crap'. 

     

    Why this 'pseudo' and self-appointed cis-'academic' has pathetically taken upon herself to devote so much energy and wasted valuable time informing all Humanity what she thinks of us, I can only surmise and conjecture; but, she has achieved nothing with the likes of me and my sisters, except to leave a lingering bad-taste in our mouths. It is not up to less than well-meaning, un-educated and ill-informed cis-females to tell us Trans-females when we may or may not 'label' ourselves as women. How dare they presume to have the bare-faced cheek and arrogant impudence: but sadly they have no remorse, 'milk of human kindness or humanity! Ravensbrück Women's Concentration Camp was, sadly, likely to have been staffed entirely by similarly prejudiced females!

  • Amanda Bruce Hannah - I am a male. You, and those who have trodden the path (and those who are still walking that walk) are female. Sadly, La Greer is not an academic. She is a facile, mere facsimile thereof. And of course, proverbially, "empty vessels make most...  more

  • Donna V Sadly Transgender people are invariably the silent and surpressed in terms of communication.No surprise we are victimised by the highly opinionated.Hannah is quite right to highlight this issue of those people who illegitimately claim to speak on...  more
