What kind of world is it when yesterday someone I love was threatened with rape and death countless times (she stopped counting at 500) for posting the simple, scientific and biological fact of "Women don't have penises."
I had written a very long follow-up post to my previous one. But I'm not going to bother posting it.
Suffice to say is I only have one question for those who believe that being a woman is just a feeling:
Can you describe what that feeling is without resorting to stereotypes?
Please. I am serious.
The women with penises brigade and their supporters don't want to engage in any serious and respectful debate. Instead they spew hateful and murderous threats. It is absolutely frightening.
And yes, I know, just like #notallmen #notalltrans. But only 10% of trans have SRS. And are raised with all that masculine privilege affords them. And FYI: there were trans in my inner circle in Toronto.
I offer you this one insanity without comment, there are hundreds of others: an abused woman in a Toronto Women's Shelter.
Women have been colonized and oppressed for far too long. We need our safe spaces. Desperately. Including our girls. In a restaurant recently I was asked by a dad holding his little daughter's hand outside the washroom was it safe for her. Dear Goddess. We have come to this.
As to my beloved, the matter was reported to the police who announced they could do nothing in a world of free speech. Death threats are free speech. This is how women get murdered in Canada when they complain about restraining orders being ignored.
I'm too old for this shyte.
