The Mess We're In: Jess DeWahls
"You know. Colonialism,colonialism."
Guardian journalists abandoned women’s rights to appease Americans like this one.
this delusion that non-Europeans didn't make any differentiation between male and female before The Whites™ came along is absolutely fucking MORONIC
But never mind! Helen Staniland’s triumphant return to Twitter with the similarly triumphant Jess DeWahls were the two big good news stories on today’s Mess We’re In. Jess isn’t messing about. The Royal Acadamy better explain why they colluded in the blackening of her name, or else state exactly what was said in her essay that was so objectionable.
Jess is so inspiring it’s crazy. I might ask her to do “When did the gender binary become a matter of opinion?” on a cushion.
From the Guardian: Veteran LGBT rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said: "Trans women are different from other women, but being a different kind of woman is perfectly valid and no justification for the denial of their identity.
"If an artist denied Jewish, black or gay people’s identity, most people would say that the Royal Academy would be right to remove their works from the gift shop. "
Ha! But the comparison is false. No-one would bother themselves to do anything so pointless as to deny a black man his identity as a black person. On the other hand if a Sikh claimed Jewish identity, if a white man claimed black identity or a heterosexual claimed gay identity, then perhaps someone might stir themselves to say something to the effect they didn't believe it. And no-one would try to get their work removed from the Royal Academy for saying it. Most of us would simply shrug our shoulders. The whole problem with the trans cult is that we can't just shrug our shoulders and go on our way. We're being spoonfed this shit in carefully measured doses but so intensely, that for a peaceful life we're inclined to resign to it in the falsely cultivated belief that "it's just such a little thing anyway it can't harm anyone to use their pronouns." Only when it's too late do we discover these pronouns were Rohypnol and our right to speak out freely on things we fundamentally disagree with has been drug raped while we were unconscious. Then when we collect our senses and refuse the next dose the howling starts and we are transphobic bigots exposed for the world to see.
It's a cult like any other really, driven by ambitions for wealth and power. It seems now to be showing signs of the self inducted nemesis which is the fate ultimately awaiting all cults. As more and more people cotton on to its hypocrisy any attention it draws to itself will start to cut both ways and finally become so overwhelmingly negative they no longer will seek it.
From being an intended victim Jess emerges as a benefactor of their hideous misogyny and misanthropy.
Listening to The Mess today, it’s clear that while we’re making gains, we’re in this for the long haul. For TRAs, this is about the fight itself, so for them the fight can never end. The fight allows them to be activists without actually making any real effort, excuses them from caring about anyone but themselves, gives them a hall pass from challenging any real inequality or oppression in the world. It’s just such a lazy and uninspiring way to live one’s life!
