Transgenderism is a false flag

The only forms of rebellion the system allows are those which create the illusion of choice while benefitting the status quo.

Black rights activists are still murdered. Indigenous activists are still murdered. Environmentalists are still murdered. Women are still murdered.

Transgenderism is a false, sanctioned form of rebellion that falls within a framework of the oppressive, capitalist system. It benefits pharmaceutical industries and relies on patriarchy’s lie that gender stereotypes are innate.

The system creates the problem and sells a solution. Gender dysphoria is real, as any woman can attest. Gender, however, is not.

All forms of rebellion can be absorbed into the capitalist framework, especially through the sale of selfhood as an external marker. Under such defense, nothing is sacred and any idea or identity may be bought; there are no limits to what can become a commodity.

This is why activists who pursue changing the system are killed, why transgenderism as an ideology is being embraced worldwide by governments who understand that it benefits men and legally erases patriarchy.

Those who oppose this way of thinking are murdered; those who adopt it as a person choice become lauded mascots.

How do you immediately understand that transgenderism is a false flag?

By how quickly it has been embraced by celebrities and politicians, and how very quickly laws are being changed globally.

Reminder: the US never passed the ERA granting women equal rights.

We have so much work to do. We are on the brink of mass extinctions. What better way to divert from global ecological crises than to label biology itself as socially constructed by men, and who better fit to encourage bio-denial than corporations and celebrities?

It makes complete sense that the death throes of an obsolete system collectively resort to violent gnashings against nature and biology itself, at a time when our very survival as a species depends on healing biological systems.

Anyone who cares about the survival of the planet, or even of humanity itself, ought to shun outright the concept of becoming a true “self” through toxic chemicals. Instead we ought to re-establish a concept of selfhood through actions as opposed to perceptions.

Indeed, human self-identity is also at odds with the survival of the planet, as long as we shape it as dependent on external means.

You can never buy an identity, or medicate yourself into existence; in truth, your existence is nothing but part of an ecological system.

It’s my view that transgenderism goes hand in hand with climate change; that it diverts us from our own extinction by feeding an appetite for validation, to fill a hole created by a destructive system.

So we turn inward, rather than facing our shared reality.

As much as transgenderism is biophobia, extreme societal denial of physical reality, it can’t exist without the very real phenomenon of womb envy, which is to say the acknowledgement that women reproduce life and men play a less significant role in continuing humanity.

Women have emphasized repeatedly that the female ability to reproduce is what men seek to control when they oppress us.

Now, they demand our silence regarding our physical differences.

We are allowed a body, or a mind; never both at the same time.

When and if society at large realizes that this has been but a stepping stone towards transhumanism, the human merging and dependence on technology for survival, it will be too late; and undoubtedly, a man will receive credit for pointing out what is quite obvious to us as women.

I am a woman.

I am not a feminine stereotype.

Men are not and can never be women.

We exist. We have lives independent of men’s fantasies of us.

Na Hyeseok was a Korean feminist, poet, writer, painter, educator, and journalist. Her pen name was Jeongwol. She was the first female professional painter and the first known feminist writer in Korea.

As a young woman, Na was known for her high spirits and outspokenness, making it clear she wanted to be a painter and an intellectual, rejecting the traditional “good wife, good mother” archetype.

Her major written work, Kyonghui (경희), published in 1918, concerns a woman’s self-discovery and her subsequent search for meaning in life as a “new woman;” it is the first feminist short story in Korean literature.

In 1919, she participated in the March 1st Movement against Japanese rule. She was jailed for this, and the lawyer hired by her family to represent her soon became her husband.

She challenged the patriarchal social system and male-oriented mentality of Korean society at the time. In “A Divorce Confession”, Na criticized the repression of female sexuality; stated that her ex-husband had been unable to satisfy her sexually and refused to discuss the issue; and finally she advocated “test marriages” where a couple would live together before getting married to avoid a repeat of her unhappy marriage. It was “A Divorce Confession” that ruined Na’s career as her views were regarded as scandalous and shocking as in traditional Korean Confucian culture premarital sex was regarded as taboo and women were not to speak frankly of their sexuality.

Unable to sell her paintings, essays or stories, Na was reduced to destitution and spent her last years living on the charity of Buddhist monasteries.

Her fate was often used to scold young Korean woman who had literary or artistic ambitions; “Do you want to become another Na Hye-sok?” was a frequent reprimand to daughters and younger sisters. However, she has recently been acknowledged in Korea for her artistic and literary accomplishments.

Kanno Sugako (1881–1911), was a Japanese radical anarcho-feminist.

She was the first woman to be executed in modern Japan for political reasons, at the age of 29, for having led a plot to overthrow the government - which was building a new economy on the backs of girls sold in slavery to textile factories during the Meiji period.

Later, when the judge asked Kanno if she wished to make a final statement, she stated her only regret was that the plot failed.

I learned about her from a book called “Flowers in Salt” by Sharon Sievers about the modern beginnings of feminism in Japan.

It’s a heartbreaking book.

Japan wanted to modernize after seeing the threat of US technology in the late 1800s. The government was able to create a trade economy due to the literal enslavement of women and girls in textile factories.

Companies visited rural towns promising a better life for young women. Farming parents believed their daughters would have more opportunities if they could support themselves, and the government created propaganda to this aim.

Girls as young as 6 walked through the mountains to the factories with no shoes, so it was eventually called a trail of blood.

Later, towns caught on, and when a company came to collect girls, they protested, and were met with violence.

(Resistance to company collection of girls actually sparked one of the first modern labor protests in Japan.)

Female workers were locked in, and the dorms were a prison. The invention of lamps meant that working hours extended to as much as 36 hours at a time. Their handwoven textiles were exported for company profit, and male overseers raped them.

There are anecdotes of men finding women’s bodies near the factories, where they had escaped just long enough to kill themselves.

Kanno lived at a time when this was happening, and had been raped herself when she was fifteen. She wanted to stop the government expansion which was coming at the expense of human rights.

The modern economy of Japan was created through enslaving and selling women and girls.

And as radical feminists know, that hasn’t ended. All economies are built on women’s slavery in one way or another.

“INVESTIGATION: Data from 15 states reveals that female inmates are disciplined at significantly higher rates than men most often for smaller, nonviolent offenses in prisons across the country.”

Men and women are not “equally oppressed” under patriarchy.

Such statements are nonsensical as oppression predicates inequality.

Male domination treats women and girls as commodities to be abused and discarded by men.

“A new U.N. report warns ‘the number of human trafficking victims is on the rise’ as criminal gangs and terror groups prey increasingly on women and children to make money and bolster their numbers. The 90-page Global Trafficking in Persons report says that children, who account for 30 percent of all trafficking victims, include 'far more’ girls than boys.”

The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries transform women-made bodies into man-made bodies.

The rise of trans ideology shows us that there are men who associate womanhood with the facsimile imposed by patriarchy, but even more so, that men believe themselves equally capable of creating males or females, and see themselves as heroes correcting the errors of those made insufficiently by women, when it is a man-made patriarchal system that is at fault.

It exposes patriarchy’s deeply entrenched envy of the female ability to create life, and his desire for complete domination over nature.

Cyntoia Brown will be released in August.

She served 15 years for protecting herself from a man who paid to rape her when she was only 16 years old.

A month ago, the Tennessee Supreme Court was unanimous when it ruled against Brown saying she would have to serve at least 51 years of her prison sentenced before she would be eligible for parole.

The ruling by the courts came in response to a lawsuit in which Brown argued her sentenced was unconstitutional, citing a 2012 opinion by the US Supreme Court that said mandatory life sentences without parole for juvenile offenders violate the US Constitution.

Thirty three year old, 6′ 3″ tall Brazillian volley ball player Tifanny Abreu is expected to be one of the first male-born transgender athletes competing in the Olympics at Tokyo 2020.

New rules set by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) in 2016 now allow transgender athletes to compete in women’s sport if they can show their Testosterone levels are below the arbitrary level of 10nM for 12 monthsSurgery is not required. 10nM is below the average male Testosterone range (average 23nM) but above the female average of 2.6nM.

Abreu started playing men’s volleyball at age 17 as Rodrigo Abreu, competing at men’s professional league level. After starting to identify as a women in 2012 and changing names to Tiffany, Abreu started playing in the women’s professional league in 2017. In less that a month, Abreu was scoring the highest number of points a game on average and then beat the record set by one of Brazil’s Olympic stars, Tandara Caixeta, for total points scored in a single game: 39.

Few elite athletes speak up about the obvious unfairness and adverse impact on female sportswomen. However, 4 times Olympian for Brazilian Volleyball and bronze medal winner Ana Paula Henkel (now Connelly) has bravely spoken up and written a powerful open letter to the IOC.

Two more medical schools in Japan have admitted to systematic discrimination against female students this week, the latest institutional scandal to hit the industry after Tokyo Medical University was accused of rigging examination results to suppress the number of women in the student body.

Juntendo University and Kitasato University on Monday conceded that they had set different passing scores for female and male applicants in entrance exams, as well as prioritized male candidates. Female applicants were held to a different standard because “women mature faster mentally than men and their communication ability is also higher [when they take the entrance exam],” Juntendo University’s medical school dean said, according to Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. He added that “in some ways, this was a measure to help male applicants.”

In August, Tokyo Medical University was found to have manipulated exam scores to exclude female students for more than a decade, prompting backlash and a government investigation into entrance exam processes at medical schools across the country. An investigation found that the university had reduced all medical school applicants’ initial test scores by 20%, before inflating the scores of male applicants’ exams. The institution initially defended the policy by arguing that women were more likely to leave the medical profession to pursue motherhood, creating a staffing shortage in the sector.

Juntendo University President Hajime Arai apologized for the discriminatory testing practices, and Kitasato University’s officials have said they will introduce an external committee to address the issue.

The latest news of the academic discrimination comes amid government efforts to raise the profile of women in Japan’s workforce. As of 2017, women made up 43% of the laborers, according to the World Bank. In the same year, Japan ranked 114th out of 144 countries in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report.

Despite Shinzo Abe’s pledge to create “a society in which all women shine,” the Japanese Prime Minister himself faced criticism in October after a reshuffle left only one woman in his 19-member cabinet.

“As in all war-torn societies, women suffer disproportionately. Afghanistan is still ranked the worst place in the world to be a woman. Despite Afghan government and international donor efforts since 2001 to educate girls, an estimated two-thirds of Afghan girls do not attend school. Eighty-seven percent of Afghan women are illiterate, while 70-80 percent face forced marriage, many before the age of 16. A September watchdog report called the USAID’s $280 million Promote program – billed the largest single investment that the U.S. government has ever made to advance women’s rights globally – a flop and a waste of taxpayer’s money.

Government statistics from 2014 show that 80 percent of all suicides are committed by women, making Afghanistan one of the few places in the world where rates are higher among women. Psychologists attribute this anomaly to an endless cycle of domestic violence and poverty. The 2008 Global Rights survey found that nearly 90 percent of Afghan women have experienced domestic abuse.”

“We have to be maternal, we have to be the savior, we have to make that white character feel better, we don’t have vaginas as black women,” she said. “I got tired of celebrating movies that didn’t have me in it. I don’t mean me as Viola, I mean me as a black woman.

"My main message is: Stop taming us. Stop!”

Indigenous women are roughly seven times more likely than non-indigenous women to be victims of serial homicide, according to a compiled international dataset of serial killings.

An official who agreed to a policy allowing male-bodied sex offenders into women’s prisons was a sex offender who hoarded 22,000 indecent pictures of children.

Gordon Pike, a senior official of the Scottish Prison Service, was one of those responsible for its “gender identity and gender reassignment policy”, documents seen by The Sunday Times show. The policy is significantly more liberal than England’s, stating that transgender prisoners must normally be housed according to the “social gender” with which they self-identify, “whether or not” they have legally changed it.

Two years after approving the policy, Pike, 57, was arrested at prison service headquarters in Edinburgh. Searching his home, police found 45 discs containing 22,100 indecent images of children, including 500 of “penetrative sexual activity” with minors. He was convicted of possession of sexual images of children in a trial ending last year and remains on the sex offenders’ register.

The prison policy, which also covers healthcare, is being used by a transgender sex offender and murderer, Paris Green, to make a 900-mile round trip from her Edinburgh prison to Sussex for private gender reassignment surgery, funded by taxpayers.

Green is serving life after she and two accomplices sexually assaulted a man with a rolling pin, tied him up, tortured him and beat him to death.

Born Peter Laing, Green identified as a woman in 2011, and was convicted two years later. Initially she was sent to a women’s jail but was moved back to a men’s wing after making advances to female prisoners.

Her surgery will be carried out at the private Nuffield hospital in Brighton, since there are no NHS facilities for it in Scotland. It will cost the NHS about £20,000, with the prison service facing a bill of up to £40,000 for transport and guarding during Green’s two-week stay.

The disclosure comes as new figures show there are 139 transgender prisoners in England and Wales, of whom 114 identify as female. Twenty-two, or 16%, were born male but are housed in women’s prisons. There are 18 transgender prisoners in Scotland, of whom 12, or two-thirds, were housed in or seeking transfers to women’s prisons.

Some 48% of transgender prisoners are sex offenders, the Ministry of Justice said in a freedom of information answer earlier this year, compared with less than 20% of the prison population as a whole.

They include Karen White, born Stephen Wood, a double rapist who was sent to New Hall women’s jail last year, where she assaulted two female prisoners. She was returned to a male jail after the assaults.

Jessica Winfield, born Martin Ponting, another double rapist put in a women’s prison, was reportedly segregated after she made advances to other inmates.

Gender surgeons and prison governors have said that some male-born sex offenders are transitioning in order to gain access to women prisoners, or to appear less dangerous in the hope of earlier parole.

Ministry of Justice figures show the number of women in prison for sex offences has risen by 40% in three years, from 93 in 2015 to 130 this year. The figures do not distinguish between biological women and trans women.

Women’s campaigners said it was highly likely that much of the increase was accounted for by male-born transgender sex offenders such as White and Winfield, who are counted as female in the statistics.

Nicola Williams, of Fair Play for Women, which has begun a parliamentary petition to change the policy, said: “These latest disclosures are deeply disturbing. MPs should be asking why the prison system is turning a blind eye to the abuse of women in its care.”

In December 2016, Pike pleaded guilty at Paisley sheriff court to possessing the images over a 10-year period. He avoided jail after claiming he was given the material by an unidentified caller to the LGBT Centre in Glasgow, where he was co-chairman. He said he had not viewed the images, though he knew what they were. He was sentenced to community punishment.

As “trade union side secretary” of the prison service, Pike was one of seven prison service officials named in prison documents as responsible for and then signing off the trans policy, which was published in 2014.

It states that “a male-to-female person in custody living permanently as a woman without genital surgery should be allocated to a female establishment. She should not be automatically regarded as posing a high sexual offence risk to other people in custody.”

A type of breast implant used by millions of women around the world is under scrutiny after French surgeons were advised to stop using it because of a potential link with a rare kind of cancer.

Textured breast implants have been linked with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), which forms in the scar capsule around the implant and normally begins with pain and swelling in the breast.

Women who have the implants and capsules removed can make a full recovery, but if left untreated the disease can spread throughout the body and become life-threatening.

There is growing concern about the effects of the implants, with figures collected by plastic surgeons suggesting there have been at least 615 cases of the disease associated with breast implants, and 16 deaths.

dutchess-t:

Well, it was only a matter of time. On May 4th our minister of Law introduced a bill on behalf of our minister of Emancipation (the irony is painful), proposing to simply the procedure to change the gender on your birth certificate. A declaration by a licensed doctor or psychologist will no longer be required. Instead, someone will be able to file in writing to have their legal sex changed. Four to twelve weeks later they will receive confirmation. 

Furthermore, the minimum age requirement of 16 years to have your gender legally changed will be dropped as well. Children younger than 16 will be able to change their gender if they get permission from a judge. 

The impact of this on women’s rights, safety and well-being has not been considered. At all. The Council of State reviewed the proposed bill and only requested clarification on the justification for dropping the age requirement, and whether the weight of the decision for the individual is properly safeguarded when a professional no longer has to be involved. 

Answer to 1: sometimes children under 16 are clear about their “gender” being “set”, so not being able to have their birth certificate changed yet is “difficult. 
Answer to 2: this decision is up to the individual and the government should be involved as little as possible. Right of self-determination is the most important.

The Council of State agreed to these “justifications” and is now fine with this bill, which will now be debated in the House of Representatives. Again: no consideration at all for the impact on women. Maybe because women have already lost their legal protection to begin with. Unlike the U.K. and the U.S., the Netherlands do not list sex as a protected characteristic. Instead they’ve used gender (geslacht), and a few years ago they changed the law to add that gender identity and gender expression fall under the protected category of gender. So excluding a man with a womanly identity, or even expression, from female-only spaces is already forbidden.

@girlsfrommars@dutchradfem Sorry about the blunt @, but since you’re one of the few Dutch radfems on here, I thought you might want to know this. The proposed bill can be found here. I fear there is very little hope stopping this. So far the Netherlands ignore the more critical stances that have risen up in the UK and Sweden. And unlike the UK, we do not have any feminist organizations that haven’t been hijacked by liberal feminism and trans activism, except for Voorzijand they are very small.

Update:because Sander Dekker, our (still under resignation, by the way) minister for Law Protection is a useless ass, this bill is still underway without any precautions taken to protect the safety and dignity of women and girls. 

All concerns about the potential for abuse have been hand waved away with “We Don’t Think That Will Happen”. Despite the fact that those exact things are already happening abroad. Cases from the UK, Canada and the USA are conveniently ignored. Instead, Dekker defers to an investigation into self-ID in Argentina, Norway, Ireland and Malta, which concluded that Nothing Ever Happened. If anyone does have examples about trans abuse in those countries, I would love to hear them. I am aware of the number of female rapists in Norway increasing with 300% between 2015 and 2017, with self-ID being introduced in 2016, and of Barbie Kardashian in Ireland. Is there anything else known?

Apparently there was another vote on whether to mark this bill as “controversial” and postpone it, because the Netherlands still do not have a new government after elections early this year. But of course legalizing voyeurism and exhibitionism in women’s changing rooms and making all sex-based statistics unreliable and meaningless is still not deemed controversial, so on we go. The bill is now scheduled to be discussed in the House of Representatives on the 24th of January.
