You know I used to believe that women had some kind of privilege in the west.
As in being treated like a protected class. However if there ever was such a thing it doesn't exist anymore.
You cannot tell me I have privilege when a man can put on a dress and harass me in the women's restroom and I am the one who gets in trouble for complaining about it.
Women losing their job for saying transwomen aren't women. Lesbians being forced to suck girldick, and so on.
Where's the privilege?
I find it ironic that feminism gets blamed for tranny shit, when it's shit like this that pushes women towards feminism.
Terfs are more popular/infamous than before the tranny shit took off.
I dislike mainstream liberal feminism because it's not doing what's best for women. It's doing what's best for the elite.
I'd like a movement that puts average women's interests first and doesn't shit on feminine women.
To be honest, I genuinely wonder what feminism's role is in relation to the rise of transgenderism.
Personally I've dated gender studies graduates and their feminist friend groups are the highest concentration of transgenders I've seen. They weren't the in your face "it's ma'am!" type of transgender, but more of the softly crying in a corner if things become too difficult for them.
Academic feminism in general seems very much involved with pushing transgenderism, with the focus on the non-binary and adjacent ideas. In contrast the more street version like anarchic feminism or antifa type feminist, a group I'm less personally acquainted with, but you'd talk to one or two at certain political events, from my superficial impression seemed much less involved with transgender ideas, though they'd put stickers or graffiti of things like "I put my gender in a blender" sometimes, so not wholly without it either.
You made a very good list of the real groundlayers of the foundation of transgenderism, of whom only one seemed to have been a feminist (and at least 2 were very much funded by Rockerfellers, so ideas pushed down from the wealthiest of men).
Further I've seen it in online forums, like for example the sinfest forum where you get these little terf strongholds. So at the very least there's the subsect of feminists that are very anti-trans. Of course there must also be non-radical feminists that trans exclusionary, but as in them not being radicals, they're unlikely to be as organized or visible.
Feminism may not have started the transgenderism, and may have some subsects opposed to it, but on the whole feminism seems to have been very fertile ground to plant the seed of it and a lot of promotion of it has happened by feminists. It seems to me transgenderism was largely popular and welcome in all but terf of the feminist spaces.
On the whole, if you look at the cross section of the society, I think a feminist is more likely to support to transgender ideology than not (and the younger he or she is, the more likely). In fact I can't think of any identity besides feminist that is more likely to support transgender in bathrooms, sports, trans education for kids, etcetera.
Am I wrong in my intuition? Am I missing something here? If so, why and what?
