Luckily you can still see Aja’s stunning poem on yesterday’s update.
Gender ideology. That's a white man's game.
If you're black and a woman and you've fallen for this crap, then I hate to say this, but you should be ashamed because you've been played.
They mock us by saying they're the most oppressed because they've put on a dress and just want to pee next to me.
And somehow that's worse than our history of segregation and slavery.
Beaten, raped, torn from our homes, our history stolen, forever gone, and they want to compare that to needing wrong sex hormones?
Do you know what I feel when I hear a white man demand compelled speech?
I feel the crack of the whip on my back. I feel my ancestor’s face pushed to the ground. With a white master’s boots still holding them down.
Black women, chained to a stone that was used as a bed at the back of the plantation in the purpose built rape shed
were used and considered as black birthing bodies back then.
Now you want to call them that again just to please the white men?
Like I said, this is a white man’s shame.
You think our cousins in Africa are playing this way?
Demanding you change the words that you use, because some dude can no longer handle being a dude? If you do you’re a fool.
Gender ID is for the bourgeoisie, the elite,
the ones that live such privileged lives, they have to make up some strife.
Just like Rachel did when she pretended not to be white.
Have you heard how they compare us to men? Let me say it like this so it sinks in. If your black mum can be a woman then so can a him?
You realize how racist that is, right? It means that the default for woman is white.
They're using us like they use the LGB, the force teaming, using our struggle like it's their own while insulting us by saying we didn't know what biology was until a white man came and taught it to us?
Yes, sir. No, sir. Whatever you say, sir.
But someone should have told you that those days are over .
And I ain't got no owner and I ain't got no crops to pick and I ain't got no fucks to give.
So you ain’t about to tell me shit about what it means to be a girl, a woman, a her, a she?
Those words are mine. They belong to me.
And I am free. And I will use my speech any goddamn way I please.
Powerful. I've recently had someone I know write to the chair of a board I serve on to report me as a transphobe - based on my twitter likes and RTs. fortunately my board dismissed this nasty and chilling accusation but they did investigate (!). I've asked them if they have heard of Maya Forstater. Now I'm thinking I should definitely post this poem. Enough is enough.
"Colin' Montgomerie misogyny" is right. So happy Aja's speaks his 'dead' name. That's where the truth is. Strip him of the appropriated ultra 'feminine' name that provides him so much stolen and unearned 'feminine' cover. Names are magical and contain tremendous power. Just ask Rumpelstiltskin.
