What do you get when you mix the gender views of the rightwing and the fanatical nonsense of radical feminists?
Making this thread at the suggestion of Katsu. We all know how much Christians and shit are triggered by transpeople, this is old news. There's another group that hates them just as much, if not more. Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists are feminists who take a hardline stance against transsexuality. While I figured that they were probably lolcows, my suspicions were confirmed after reading through the comments section of an article about Stefonknee Wolscht, a horrorcow over in the lolcow board.
Their essential argument is that Trans people are just men in dresses (I guess transmen don't exist for the sake of their argument). This isn't a particularly uncommon viewpoint and several on this site would agree with it. The irony comes from the fact that they are simultaneously arguing that gender is a social construct. Perhaps this comes from a deep-rooted desire to be the most oppressed group and they're jealous of the trans community stealing their oppression points? In the case provided, the evidence points towards the subject actually just being a perv in a dress, but they'll go just as hard against someone who has successfully transitioned and integrated into society.
I've included a blip from the previously mentioned discussion showing how quickly they jump into action. Also included is a TERF blog, read through the comments for a confusing feminist circlejerk. And remember kids, gender is a myth but if you try and break the myth, you're an abomination.
