Attacks on TG people, especially MtF from some feminists have been going on since the 70s.
I recall a pamphlet where MtF men were accused of 'Castrating themselves to infultrate the women's movement.
QuoteA male-to-female transsexual serving a prison sentence for manslaughter and rape won the right to be relocated to a women's jail. Her lawyers argued that her rights were being violated by being unable to live in her role as a woman in a men's jail. Large numbers of female prisoners have experienced childhood abuse and rape and will fail to appreciate the reasons behind a biological man living among them, particularly one who still has the penis with which he raped a woman. (Some transsexuals choose to retain their genitals.)
Its a sad reality that, criminals will frequently attempt to manipulate law and human rights to attack others. If this case is true, it is clearly an example of this. It is also clearly, an isolated case. Those of us with any experience of women's prisons will know that, far from this being an example of an evil monstor being infliced upon a bunch of oppressed, frightened women, to cause them further pain, this placement will almost certainly result in this idiot being subjected to beatings and harrassment that will make even child abusers cringe.
Violence in women's prisons, when it happens, is generalyl considerably more vicious and cruel than anything in men's prisons.
The best we can say about the likes of Bindel, is that she is and will remain a minority.
The worst is that she will gain some amount of publicity which she can and no-doubt will, attempt to turn to her advantage.
The really sad part of this woman's ignorance and intransigence is that, if she could somehow open her mind for a moment she would realise that her apparent ambition of breaking down gender stereotypes is the same as ours.
We simply ask to be allowed to live as we feel, rather than under the imposed limitations society has put upon our birth genders.
Many of us do seek to have our appearence altered to our preference. But that is our personal choice. None of us is under any illusions that our physical appearance is anything other than cosmetic. All of us are aware that we will be compelled to take drugs to sustain ourselves, for the rest of our lives.
We are not victims of anyhting other than our natures. We seek no pity. We seek no more rights than anyone else in society.
We don't ask for positive discrimination, as many feminists do. We ask for a fair opportunity to participate in society, free from harrassment resulting from our choices.
