Last week, two British women calling themselves "feminists" stormed onto Capitol Hill for the purposes of ambushing a trans woman. Does the idea that transphobic harassment could be “feminist” bewilder you? You are not alone, writes @reproutopia. https://t.co/SYVlzuva1s
— New York Times Opinion (@nytopinion) February 7, 2019
Here’s a truly wonderful New York Times oped, Coalition of the Fringes division, about how, while in America the natural order prevails in which transgender ex-men are rightly recognized as just plain all around more worthy than lesbians, in Britain’s Progressive Stack, perversely, lesbians are seen as more female than real women like Caitlyn Jenner. The author doesn’t quite get around to calling for the US Strategic Air Command to shoot cruise missiles at lesbian intellectual strongholds in Bloomsbury, but maybe next week …
It reads like Godfrey Elfwick and Titania McGrath teamed up to hoax the Times by illustrating my point that the Coalition of the Margins don’t necessarily get along with each other, but I think it’s sincere. Or maybe not … Who can tell these days?
How British Feminism Became Anti-Trans
A surprisingly mainstream movement of feminists known as TERFs oppose transgender rights as a symptom of “female erasure.”By Sophie Lewis, Feb. 7, 2019
Sophie Lewis, a feminist theorist and geographer, is the author of the forthcoming “Full Surrogacy Now.”
I presume there’s a lot to unpack in that short sentence, but I’ll leave it for somebody else to do.
… If the idea that transphobic harassment could be “feminist” bewilders you, you are not alone. In the United States, my adoptive home, the most visible contemporary opponents of transgender rights are right-wing evangelicals, who have little good to say about feminism. In Britain, where I used to live, the situation is different.
There, the most vocal trans-exclusionary voices are, ostensibly, “feminist” ones, and anti-trans lobbying is a mainstream activity. …
The term coined to identify women like Ms. Parker and Dr. Long is TERF, which stands for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist. In Britain, TERFs are a powerful force. If, in the United States, the mainstream media has been alarmingly ready to hear “both sides” on the question of trans people’s right to exist, in Britain, TERFs have effectively succeeded in framing the question of trans rights entirely around their own concerns: that is, how these rights for others could contribute to “female erasure.” Many prominent figures in British journalism and politics have been TERFs; British TV has made a sport of endlessly hosting their lurid rudeness and styling it as courage; British newspapers seemingly never tire of broadsides against the menace of “gender ideology.” …
The split between the American and British center-left on this issue was thrown into sharp relief last year, when The Guardian published an editorial on potential changes to a law called the Gender Recognition Act, which would allow people in Britain to self-define their gender. The editorial was headlined “Where Rights Collide,” and argued that “women’s concerns about sharing dormitories or changing rooms with ‘male-bodied’ people must be taken seriously.” Some of The Guardian’s United States-based journalists published a disavowal, arguing that the editorial’s points “echo the position of anti-trans legislators who have pushed overtly transphobic bathroom bills.”
… In America, however, TERFism today is a scattered community in its death throes, mourning the loss of its last spaces, like the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival, which ended in 2015.
The Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival existed for womyn-born womyn lesbians who just wanted to sit in the dirt, swat mosquitoes, and listen to the Indigo Girls without being hit on by horny ex-men complaining about the Cotton Ceiling.
Was that too much to ask? Apparently, by the standards of Current Year America, yes.
… Such a posture positions queer theory and activism as individualistic, narcissistic and thus somehow fundamentally un-British.
It’s also worth noting that the obsession with supposed “biological realities” of people like Ms. Parker is part of a long tradition of British feminism interacting with colonialism and empire. Imperial Britain imposed policies to enforce heterosexuality and the gender binary, while simultaneously constructing the racial “other” as not only fundamentally different, but freighted with sexual menace; from there, it’s not a big leap to see sexual menace in any sort of “other,” and “biological realities” as essential and immutable. (Significantly, many Irish feminists have rejected Britain’s TERFism, citing their experience of colonialism explicitly as part of the reason.)
But perhaps the biggest factor in the rise of TERFism has been the relative dearth of social movements in Britain over the past three decades. It’s telling that Ms. Parker thinks it was the United States that exported “political correctness” and ideas like “gender identity” to Britain; it might even be fair to say that she’s right.
In other parts of the world, including America, mass movements in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s around the effects of globalization and police brutality have produced long overdue dialogue on race, gender and class, and how they all interact. In Britain, however, the space for this sort of dialogue has been much more limited. As a result, middle- and upper-class white feminists have not received the pummeling from black and indigenous feminists that their American counterparts have, and thus, their perspectives retain a credibility and a level of influence in Britain that the Michigan Womyn’s Festival could have only dreamed of.
Women really don’t stand a chance against the obsessiveness and aggression of men. I mean, lesbians can be pretty hostile and take-no-prisoners, but outside of a few holdouts like Britain, they are being thoroughly pummeled by the hyper-aggressiveness of the ex-men, rare as they are.

… Say it loud: we can affirm our non-desire to work even if we don’t work hard. Even when it comes to making babies who will die if we stop working. Though much bodily reproductive work ends up not being productive for capital (in either the immediate- or long-term), we can deploy the term ‘gestational labour’ literally. The particularity is that, just as gestation’s products take a while to emerge (babies have to grow up), work stoppages in this sphere generally don’t have any immediate impact. Their blows are delayed. Omit to bathe, feed and clothe your dependents on March 8th, and cynics may well snigger: nary a capitalist seems to be quaking in her boots. Extend that strike just a few more hours, however, and workers needed for the production of profits today and in the next decade start to sicken and fade. …

I worked Wendy’s a few years back…..2015 I think and there was this Latino Republican fundamentalist Christian guy. All the women hated him but once a trans customer came in and we went to discussing sharing bathrooms….
Anyway I was shocked to see the Christian guy very calmly say he didn’t mind sharing a restroom with F2M trans “men”….meanwhile all the girls including the ones who considered me a sexist had a nervous breakdown and screamed HELL NAW when asked if they were okay with sharing a restroom w a M2F trans….they melted down calling them “freaks” and pervs and so forth.
The hypocrisy and irony that day was not lost on me
Secondly, not all irony is lost. A guy has plenty to object to, given bathroom trannies. The conventional wisdom here is illustrated by Grant Morrison's Invisibles or Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: Eee Vull Redneck sees tranny and physically attacks because he is Eee Vull. In reality, trannies are not only fags, but from the horrifyingly powerful bottom of the hierarchy. They use the public bathroom as a bedroom and as a place to meet partners. This is the actual basis of people wanting to hit them or exclude them from bathrooms. They bother straight guys, who are just there to relieve themselves, walk out, and pretend they had washed their straight hands. In other words, like Matthew Shepard or the Marwencol guy, they are not innocent victims, but provocateurs.
It's similar to that "letter to the editor" thing somewhere where a nice credentialed progressive urbanite confessed that fags were porking in the sauna at his gym, and he told on them because he honestly just wanted to use the sauna he had already paid for as what it was built for. Signs banning misbehavior in saunas were briefly an issue in the NewYorkerverse, I think I saw them whined about as the new burning cross for ten seconds, but it didn't get very far because everybody realized what it meant and had no sympathy.
I don't mind sharing properly utilized space with anyone, but I would have many problems getting hassled or hit on when I just wanted to relieve myself.
If an anus can be designated as a ‘sex organ’, and if a penis and balls can become a vagina and vice versa, can we say ‘My heart is my liver, and my liver is my lung and my lung is my bung and my bung is my brains’?

As I read this kind of stuff, my poor brain, which is normally pretty good at dealing with abstractions, undergoes paroxyms as it tries to sort out and keep straight who the hell is who and believes they are what in these warring grievance-studies ghetto gangs.
In my opinion the first group are ultimately quite wholesome. Apart from their sexual politics, they are basically in favor of the preindustrial way of life, and against the genuinely dangerous innovations of modern times, like nuclear energy and genetic engineering.
The second group, to which the New York Times columnist belongs, are much harder to pin down. They have the radical-left animus against anything traditional - families, nations, religions, you name it - but they love the weird new arrangements that capitalism and technology make possible, and vaguely hope it will help them not only destroy the old, but also somehow produce a new order of (in the case of Sophie Lewis) "gender-free communism".
Yes. The ‘pummeling’ part is the best!

This pseudo-academic mumbo-jumbo festival reminds me of an old high school ex, a formidably smart girl who had gone on to Re-education at Smith College (a formerly venerable institution full of extremely smart chicks) and become a radfem. I caught up with her some 20 years later by accident as she was doing a “slam-poetry” reading (lol) at my local Goodwhite bookstore. This chick could have–should have–become an attorney, doctor or CEO at the highest level; but because of feminism, had become a “nonbinary LGBTQX poet and educator” teaching Gender Studies part time at a small college and otherwise writing poetry and fuming with Salon and Jezebel in her little 1-bedroom with her 3 cats.
Feminism stole this girl’s awesome potential and turned her into a joke.
These TERFs and all the rest are awful, terrible, sad jokes.
I wish Sailer would spend more of his amazing intellectual energies on real things, not the myriad stupid-shit-of-the-day coming out of the far leftist howling vaginas
CEO and lawyer success just doesn't matter. They are transitory. There is the odd smart nerdy guy whose invention really is of more benefit to us than his genes. But what society actually needs most from most smart people and all smart women is smart children.
Steve Sailer should focus more on central banker shysterism and resource extraction and the interaction of banking and energy.
Lots of vagina talk recently on Unz Review. Bison Joseph, the famed Unz Review commenter of good cheer, even went so far as to suggest that Bezos's new broad might have a magic vagina. Mr. Joseph seemed to think that Bezos would give up 70 billion smackers for some magical vagina connected to that Charo knockoff creature.
Trump has called for massive increases in legal immigration and Sailer has remained mum.
Sailer should moderate my comments on through; especially the one connecting the shale oil play to Central Banker Shysterism. Some people make the mistake of putting the oil extraction cart before the cheap money horse.
A woman is an adult human female, not a creature who puts on high heels and make-up and throws a fit in a store if they get "misgendered".

“Imperial Britain imposed policies to enforce heterosexuality”
When I think of Cecil Rhodes, Lord Kichener, General MacDonald, Lawrence of Arabia, and the Imperial Navy, the first thing that comes to mind is “enforced heterosexuality.”
Aren’t the TERF arguments the same as those used against acceptance of public homosexuality? It makes people feel uncomfortable and unsafe, objectified and so forth? This is the problem with the TERFs: their politics lack internal consistency unless you start from the axiom that men are evil (which is what most of them believe but can’t articulate as such).
The left has embraced change for the sake of change and being different for the sake of being different; to first approximation, the more something would irritate or disgust Archie Bunker, the more the left will embrace it. The TERF position is a hopeless one.
Maybe the “ambush””on Capitol Hill was a really delayed tit for tat (heh) following that tranny ambushing Rose McGowan.

So you people and Sailer think you can draw an artificial logical wall around homosexuality and transgenderism and say that you people have no problem with homosexuals but transgenders are icky and mentally ill, and liberals will not see through your logical hypocrisy? I think that an orthodox Jew who thinks that homosexuals and transgenders are all EQUALLY sinful and should all be stoned to death is far more logically consistent than you people and Sailer (and I have been even seen liberals agreeing with this point) isn’t it funny how you can be OK with homosexuality and think that allowing gay pride parades and ending anti sodomy laws, and then get a panic attack when your toddler son wants to become a woman, that you can keep an artificial wall between homosexuality and transgenderism? Like how you people here who think you tolerate and accept one type of sexual deviance without it upgrading and leading to other types of sexual deviances being accepted and tolerated, or is this just your Boomer logic? Interestingly in Thailand, transgenders are actually somewhat tolerated to a degree, but homosexuality and bisexuality is not acceptable, sort of the inverse of the West.
lulz, millenial sez wut?
The "cotton ceiling" is the demand by men in dresses that lesbians submit to their "lady dicks" or have it forced down their mouths or into their vaginas, to "cure" them.
Young lesbians are now being convinced that they are not actually female, but male. Girls as young as 14 are having double mastectomies, and puberty blockers are being prescribed at ever-increasing rates to both young boys and young girls, most of whom would grow up to be gay if they were left alone.
This is medical conversion therapy, using drugs and plastic surgery to "fix" homosexuality.
Of course, the trans agenda is not compatible with homosexuality.
Puberty blockers mean that the children will never develop secondary sex characteristics and will never be able to have normal adult sex.
The British women did not "harrass" or "attack" that six foot man in a dress. His job is as a lobbyist for the trans industry, trying to get US laws passed to make it easier for children to be sliced, diced and drugged, and for men to be able to "self-identify" their ways into women's spaces.
Of course radical feminists are against such travesties.

The whole way that the psychiatric profession divides neuropathologies up doesn't make any sense when you look behind the curtain at the genes. They know now that many hitherto completely different mental illnesses are really different manifestations of the same thing. So that changes how they look at heritability. Also, a lot of mental illnesses, included types of autism, are not hereditary, but de novo mutations, in the germ cells or through a glitch during the building of the brain.
I hope that researchers will get the courage to do this sort of research on gender dysphoria. It requires thousands or tens of thousands of genomes, and adding a question or two to the intake forms used for informed consent before taking genetic samples will be explosively controversial. Irate MtF trannies will figure out what's going on, they're smart, and they'll create an uproar, "They're trying to make us look like head classes, the bigots!"
But the fact that gender dysphoria is comorbid with various mental conditions is a big, big hint that it, itself, is a mental condition. First of all, the idea that discrimination against trannies causes their mental distress is unlikely, since the various problems they have, depression, etc., are genetic, we now know. Secondly, we now know that "comorbid" mental diseases are better thought of as a single encompassing condition, because that's how they look in the genome.Replies: @Steve Sailer, @Ghost of Bull Moose

Well duh. Most men are not going to be scared of a woman dressed like a man using their bathroom. They’ll just think it’s weird – she/he poses no danger to them.
On the other hand a 6 foot tall guy with 5 o clock shadow poorly applied makeup and a dress is downright creepy entering your bathroom if you are a small female. And most “trans women” fit that description and cannot pass. They women are right they are largely perverts.
Don’t worry – in a few years, Islam will sort it all out, in Britain at least.

“…not only fundamentally different, but freighted with sexual menace”
Freighted, it’s the new fraught.
The TERFs are pure second wavers; they embrace the genetic and physical reality of our female bodies, but are convinced that our brains are the same as men. Somehow it hasn’t occurred to them that our brains are subject to the same genetic and hormonal influences as the rest of the package. Second wave feminism set out to erase the patriarchy and masculinity, never dreaming that if men can be erased, so can women. Stupid.

Cyborg uterine geography: Complicating ‘care’ and social reproduction
Sophie Lewis First Published November 8, 2018 Research Article
Abstract
Most geographers have sided with ‘cyborgs’ (technonatural subjects) against ‘goddesses’ (e.g. Mother Earth) on questions of embodiment. In itself this provides no justification for the relative dearth (in geography) of theorizing ‘with’ the uterus as a site of doing and undoing; what I propose to call uterine geography. ‘Uterine’ relations are fundamentally cyborg, animatedly labouring and not only spatial but spatializing: they make and unmake places, borders, kin. This includes not only abortion, miscarriage, menstruation and pregnancy (whose transcorporeal and chimeric character is well documented in medical anthropology) but also other life-enabling forms of holding and letting go that do not involve anatomical uteri (such as trans-mothering and other alter-familial practices). Despite our discipline’s ostensible interest in co-production, hybridity and the more-than-human, the ‘doing’ aspects of intra and interuterine processes have tended to be black-boxed in accounts of care economies and social reproduction. The proposed remedy is deromanticization: an approach that critically politicizes uterine relations as historically contingent and subject to amelioration through struggle. Potential aides include Maggie Nelson’s idea that ‘labor does you’, Suzanne Sadedin’s account of gestation’s mutual hostility and the concepts of ‘sym-poiesis’ and ‘metramorphosis’. One notable consequence of this expanded concept of the uterine is that ‘assisted reproduction’, as it is characterized today, ceases to be categorically separate from other kinds of reproduction.

You wouldn’t think it was possible, but people actually do manage to make some pretty miserable dives in paradise.
Female Erasure. Is that like this?
I’m certain I’ve seen it but cannot pin down where (scantest whiff of opprobrium or something along those lines).
Of course I get that there are rightists who oppose “transgenderism” because (their wholesome/trad/rational reasons here). But what do you call it when you just oppose it because it’s the latest leftist horseshit, and you’ve decided to oppose all leftist horseshit, ever?
I guess what I’m trying to say is, I don’t need well-thought-out reasons to oppose leftist horseshit anymore; I just know whatever they’re pushing is evil before they even roll it out.
What do you call this? Reactionary? Uber-reactionary?
You can generally judge whether an idea is sensible or not by looking at the person who's pushing it. That's the main reason I started to doubt the whole greenie agenda - the people pushing ideas like global warming were obviously batshit crazy or were even more obviously acting out of self-interest.
I think Bailey’s taxonomy needs to be updated. There are plenty of autogenophiles (transition later in life, very masculine backgrounds and interests, maintaining sexual orientation post-transition, high IQ: Jenner) and the super girly gay men (transition earlier, lower IQ, feminine background and interests). I just see a lot of trans that don’t fit either category very well.
For example, Brianna Wu of Gamergate fame- yes, an interest in computers, very aggressive, transitioned later, but also has a husband. Lots and lots of claims of plagairism, lying, cheating, socio-pathic behavior, victimhood. Lots of the autogenophilic types are transitioning earlier in life, and many are engaging in relationships with other men. Also lots of low IQ humanities bums, with less traditionally masculine backgrounds, transitioning and pestering women to sleep with them now they’ve done so.
So, homosexual autogenophiles is one. Maybe super creepy beta males transitioning as a way to finally sleep with women is another. They can’t get women to sleep with them as men- that would be toxic masculinity. But they can socially coerce females to sleep with them as women- that’s cutting edge intersectionality right there!
Finally, I remember that crazy NYT oped from a month ago or so, of the one who wanted “reassignment” surgery no matter what. He’d written a paper on watching “sissy porn”. Rod Dreher did a post on it. Maybe a certain type of guy is transitioning because of overexposure to pornography. You may think this fits in with autogenophilia, as they start to identify with and want to be the girl getting f***ed, like what they see. But, they lack other features of the classic autogenophile.
Video games are somehow caught up in a lot of this too. Just as they can play and customize characters as women, so they would like to do so for themselves in real life.
This area is ripe for an un-PC blockbuster of a book. Or maybe a ball buster of a book. I don’t know, they’re horrible people, horribly mean, selfish and mentally unstable. They’re perfecting the art of making life miserable for everyone around them. And no one can say anything to them. And they know it and enjoy that power. Maybe that’s what gets them off more than anything.
Discussion of the paper begins at "UPDATE.3". I get the sense that Chu xirself doesn't identify with this particular trans typology, but xanaduself also doesn't totally mind the existence of this phenomenon as long as it helps burn the world down. Still, the essay is disturbingly cogent. It's enough to make a libertarian rethink their stance on porn.
One strange pattern is that these people sometimes spontaneously kick the porn habit after transitioning. It could be that their arousal by it was just a weird sexualized response to their own anxiety. But more likely they just get less horny after their testosterone levels plummet.
I suspect their may be two major causes of m2w trans mentality. One is a kind of autistic mentality in which men have normal hetero fantasies about women but somehow invert themselves into being the woman rather than acting upon the woman in their fantasies. These are basically straight men with predominantly straight male psychological profiles that feel they look at the world through the lens of female sexuality.
The other cause of m2w trans people are gay men who experience their gay male sexuality as female sexuality. These have feminine psychological profiles.Replies: @PhDPepper

There are, i believe, the usual minoritarian opt outs. If you're a Jewish woman, you can say you are only interested in Jewish guys. If you're a black woman, you can say you only want to date black men.
But if you are a white gentile woman you will be badgered and denounced if you publically admit that you are only interested in white men, or do not want to date or have sex with black men. You must be interested in black men, you must find them wildly attractive. Fairly to do so means you're a racist.
Of course a white woman can still go about her business of trying to find a white guy to marry and father her children. That is not--as yet--a problem. She can have her private opinion of the suitability of black men for her. But she can not speak about her preferences publically or risk denunciation.Replies: @The Wild Geese Howard

Actually, the situation in Britain is that we have a Lab-Con Neo-Liberal ruling elite that embraces whatever vileness comes out of the New York Times. Our police forces were transformed by the MacPherson Report into the enforcement arm of Political Correctness. BUT even though PC/cult-Marx/Soc-Jus is more oppressive in everyday life here than in the USA, IME it has much shallower roots. It has been internalised at a much lower rate than in the US; the idea that eg whites should hate themselves for their skin colour/race is not widespread at all, even in Liberal circles (I know one Indian radical academic who feels that way – but she came here from India via Australia, so plenty of chance to develop race hatred).
I think partly it’s because our Jewish community is much smaller, Orthodox and generally religious, and does not need anti-gentile hatred as a tool of community cohesion; they are already pretty cohesive. There is some anti-gentilism on the secular fringe of British Jews, but it is in no way anything like the New York situation. There is some racism from the Black Left (who of course care nothing for Trans ideology), but in Britain the most rabid commissars of PC tend to be white gentile Blairite Labour and ‘Liberal Conservative’ Tories like Theresa May.

Never mind you don’t know who I am, and are not interested in knowing — no, you MUST be interested in me. You must love me. You must accept me as your wife.
Sounds insane, but also familiar. Not an original idea.
I’d say that’s where our society ends, not just feminism. A new one will emerge in its place, possibly a glorious, saner one. But if it does get to that, I suspect the page turn is not far ahead.
On autism, it’s close to becoming an obsolete classification in light of recent genetic research, sort of how Freudian psychology was destroyed. Plomin touched on it in Blueprint, but Kevin Mitchell goes deep into it in “Innate,” in the “Exceptions” chapter. There are about 100 different genetic defects, each of which can cause an autism-like condition.
The whole way that the psychiatric profession divides neuropathologies up doesn’t make any sense when you look behind the curtain at the genes. They know now that many hitherto completely different mental illnesses are really different manifestations of the same thing. So that changes how they look at heritability. Also, a lot of mental illnesses, included types of autism, are not hereditary, but de novo mutations, in the germ cells or through a glitch during the building of the brain.
I hope that researchers will get the courage to do this sort of research on gender dysphoria. It requires thousands or tens of thousands of genomes, and adding a question or two to the intake forms used for informed consent before taking genetic samples will be explosively controversial. Irate MtF trannies will figure out what’s going on, they’re smart, and they’ll create an uproar, “They’re trying to make us look like head classes, the bigots!”
But the fact that gender dysphoria is comorbid with various mental conditions is a big, big hint that it, itself, is a mental condition. First of all, the idea that discrimination against trannies causes their mental distress is unlikely, since the various problems they have, depression, etc., are genetic, we now know. Secondly, we now know that “comorbid” mental diseases are better thought of as a single encompassing condition, because that’s how they look in the genome.
But it is downright cruel for the self-proclaimed 'believers' in science to say, yes, you're right. Nature has made a mistake, and you are it. Let's cut your genitals off and build you a mock hoohah, then hope to hell it doesn't necrotize.
It’s ecofeminists versus technofeminists. Lesbian hippies versus genderqueer cyberpunks.
In my opinion the first group are ultimately quite wholesome. Apart from their sexual politics, they are basically in favor of the preindustrial way of life, and against the genuinely dangerous innovations of modern times, like nuclear energy and genetic engineering.
The second group, to which the New York Times columnist belongs, are much harder to pin down. They have the radical-left animus against anything traditional – families, nations, religions, you name it – but they love the weird new arrangements that capitalism and technology make possible, and vaguely hope it will help them not only destroy the old, but also somehow produce a new order of (in the case of Sophie Lewis) “gender-free communism”.

Cyborg uterine geography: Complicating ‘care’ and social reproduction
Sophie Lewis First Published November 8, 2018 Research Article
Abstract
Most geographers have sided with ‘cyborgs’ (technonatural subjects) against ‘goddesses’ (e.g. Mother Earth) on questions of embodiment. In itself this provides no justification for the relative dearth (in geography) of theorizing ‘with’ the uterus as a site of doing and undoing; what I propose to call uterine geography. ‘Uterine’ relations are fundamentally cyborg, animatedly labouring and not only spatial but spatializing: they make and unmake places, borders, kin. This includes not only abortion, miscarriage, menstruation and pregnancy (whose transcorporeal and chimeric character is well documented in medical anthropology) but also other life-enabling forms of holding and letting go that do not involve anatomical uteri (such as trans-mothering and other alter-familial practices). Despite our discipline’s ostensible interest in co-production, hybridity and the more-than-human, the ‘doing’ aspects of intra and interuterine processes have tended to be black-boxed in accounts of care economies and social reproduction. The proposed remedy is deromanticization: an approach that critically politicizes uterine relations as historically contingent and subject to amelioration through struggle. Potential aides include Maggie Nelson’s idea that ‘labor does you’, Suzanne Sadedin’s account of gestation’s mutual hostility and the concepts of ‘sym-poiesis’ and ‘metramorphosis’. One notable consequence of this expanded concept of the uterine is that ‘assisted reproduction’, as it is characterized today, ceases to be categorically separate from other kinds of reproduction.Replies: @Achmed E.

You are overdoing the lesbian angle here Steve. Not all radical feminists are lesbians. Speaker’s Corner incident.
Wolf is over six feet tall.
On my reading Plomin says there are many small effect genes that when you have a lot will make it much more likely you will have a mental disorder but that is only an extreme version of normal tendencies in average people, and the same group of small effect genes (hundreds) are behind what until now have been thought to be different major mental disorder groups. Plomin says intelligence and the brain is generalist. In other words if you are good at English you will also be capable of being good at Maths, and “generalist genes imply that individual differences in brain structure and function are largely caused by diffuse effects that affect many brain regions and functions”.
There definitely seems to be a factor for creative or artistic ability that can be expressed as schizophrenia. However, I think there is increasing evidence that when there is outright mental illness it is often sparked as a overreaction to infection. The single gene with the greatest (still not that much) correlation with schizophrenia confers amped up inflammation. The other day I read that research now indicates that the plaques in the brain of Alzheimer sufferers are actually targeting gum disease bacteria that have got into the brain.

They all felt as if they were female inside their entire lives.

If a parent were sending their child to the big city from a small town, they’d give them advice. “Keep your head up”, “look around, know your surroundings “, “don’t take shortcuts through dark alleys” etc.

Steve Sailer should focus more on central banker shysterism and resource extraction and the interaction of banking and energy.
Lots of vagina talk recently on Unz Review. Bison Joseph, the famed Unz Review commenter of good cheer, even went so far as to suggest that Bezos’s new broad might have a magic vagina. Mr. Joseph seemed to think that Bezos would give up 70 billion smackers for some magical vagina connected to that Charo knockoff creature.
Trump has called for massive increases in legal immigration and Sailer has remained mum.
Sailer should moderate my comments on through; especially the one connecting the shale oil play to Central Banker Shysterism. Some people make the mistake of putting the oil extraction cart before the cheap money horse.
Reg, I agree, but I bet Steve doesn’t. He’s really careful with his words and isn’t going to morally condemn anyone as a sinful perv.
Can you make a good logical argument connecting all this perversion and how one leads to another and we shouldn’t even be letting the train leave the station?
Interestingly, I was watching one of those stupid British talk circle programs and here’s the token “conservative” saying, well, now we know that loosening all the laws about porn and cursing in publishing and movies back in the 60’s didn’t bring the promised improvement in behavior. Remember how it was going to let off the steam and people would be more faithful in marriage and kinder to kids? Balderdash. Well, the leftists sitting there agreed and shook their heads in despair at how far our culture has descended into utter nihilism. Of course, their idea of morality is nothing traditional or Christian, but they can see that letting cats out of the bag creates even worse problems than any of us thought possible.
We can’t even get male and female straight anymore.
All sexual misconduct is harmful.
For example, Brianna Wu of Gamergate fame- yes, an interest in computers, very aggressive, transitioned later, but also has a husband. Lots and lots of claims of plagairism, lying, cheating, socio-pathic behavior, victimhood. Lots of the autogenophilic types are transitioning earlier in life, and many are engaging in relationships with other men. Also lots of low IQ humanities bums, with less traditionally masculine backgrounds, transitioning and pestering women to sleep with them now they've done so.
So, homosexual autogenophiles is one. Maybe super creepy beta males transitioning as a way to finally sleep with women is another. They can't get women to sleep with them as men- that would be toxic masculinity. But they can socially coerce females to sleep with them as women- that's cutting edge intersectionality right there!
Finally, I remember that crazy NYT oped from a month ago or so, of the one who wanted "reassignment" surgery no matter what. He'd written a paper on watching "sissy porn". Rod Dreher did a post on it. Maybe a certain type of guy is transitioning because of overexposure to pornography. You may think this fits in with autogenophilia, as they start to identify with and want to be the girl getting f***ed, like what they see. But, they lack other features of the classic autogenophile.
Video games are somehow caught up in a lot of this too. Just as they can play and customize characters as women, so they would like to do so for themselves in real life.

I’m disturbed by the amount of detail you know on this topic. But hey, bully for you I guess.
I suspect their may be two major causes of m2w trans mentality. One is a kind of autistic mentality in which men have normal hetero fantasies about women but somehow invert themselves into being the woman rather than acting upon the woman in their fantasies. These are basically straight men with predominantly straight male psychological profiles that feel they look at the world through the lens of female sexuality.
The other cause of m2w trans people are gay men who experience their gay male sexuality as female sexuality. These have feminine psychological profiles.
There I go, knowing things... seriously, this is a well-covered topic in the Steve-o-sphere. You're suspicions are identical to Michael Bailey's taxonomy, so you seem to know a lot about it yourself. Have you read The Man Who Would Be Queen?
Transgender ideology has sprung up like mad in our culture. People are getting fired for refusing to call men women, for not using inaccurate pronouns, for being uncomfortable with men having access to female changing rooms, for even researching the issue. Troubled teenagers are being encouraged to mutilate themselves and permanently mar their fertility. MtF who remove their penis are left with a festering wound that they'll have to dilate forever. This increases, not decreases, the risk of suicide. Young boys are being dressed up and prostituted before cheering gay men. Libraries are hosting drag queen "story time" sessions. And god help you if you speak out against it. None of this is funny or wry or amusing. There is a real human cost to this madness, to allowing this abuse, this vile child abuse. This madness is increasing human suffering, and our culture is condemning those who won't kowtow to it. Cross one of these people in real life, and you'll quickly find out just how nasty and destructive they are. They have problems, and boy oh boy do they want you to have problems too.
So quite the smarmy insinuations.
The reason for this divergence isn’t exactly a state secret.
This minoritarian ideology–minorities good, majorities bad–is a creation of Jews. It grew and really took root here in American media, academic and political culture and has been pushed out from America–academically, politically and culturally, but especially through media (Hollyweird)–first to the Anglosphere and on to the broader West.
It’s certainly true that it dovetails in Europe with some more indigenous trends–post-colonial and post-War guilt, malaise and loss of spirit. And Europeans can certainly front run in some areas–like the UK, lacking a 1st amendment, in criminalizing dissent.
But at its core it’s driven by American Jews. So in the UK, some lesbians with some institutional power in British government and media, can assert their interests and push back. But in the US, someone might whine a bit, but they will quickly be beaten into submission for being anti-minoritarian. Minorities are always right. And “exclusion” is the worse crime in human history–after the Holocaust.
But for these valiant efforts, somewhere some goy guy would be sipping his Old Fashioned on the veranda of his country club with his goy guy friends. To save us from that hideous fate that the West must die.
Occult fads and what we'd now call New Age cults became very popular in the late 19th century.
The intellectual class were entirely secular. The upper and lower classes were mostly secular. Christianity held a bit longer among the middle classes but in places like England it was largely cultural Christianity.
European civilisation was beginning to crumble. The First World War accelerated a process that had already begun.
It's possible that American intellectuals picked up the infection from the French in the 20s and 30. And of course German intellectuals fleeing the Nazis brought even more virulent strains with them. America was particularly vulnerable since American Puritanism quickly transformed itself into missionary liberalism.
So it probably started in Europe but became truly pathological in America.
It is amusing to see all female institutions corrupted and destroyed.
Basic truth: men and women are different and complementary.
Another basic truth: it is only through excluding that people can build and maintain anything of any particular character or culture, anything of any value.

Maybe you shouldn’t comment on things you clearly know nothing about. The terms “radfem” and TERF are used as insults against women who understand that men and women are biological categories of humans, and are neither “assigned by the doctor at birth” nor can they be changed by wishing really hard.
A woman is an adult human female, not a creature who puts on high heels and make-up and throws a fit in a store if they get “misgendered”.

As the NY Times points out, however, in the US, the man in a dress knows that he could get the clerk fired, because the US has gone bat-shit crazy.
Of course transgenderism is encouraged where homosexuality is not. Not just Thailand, but Iran encourages homosexuals to “be cured” by using plastic surgery to change body parts.
The “cotton ceiling” is the demand by men in dresses that lesbians submit to their “lady dicks” or have it forced down their mouths or into their vaginas, to “cure” them.
Young lesbians are now being convinced that they are not actually female, but male. Girls as young as 14 are having double mastectomies, and puberty blockers are being prescribed at ever-increasing rates to both young boys and young girls, most of whom would grow up to be gay if they were left alone.
This is medical conversion therapy, using drugs and plastic surgery to “fix” homosexuality.
Of course, the trans agenda is not compatible with homosexuality.
Puberty blockers mean that the children will never develop secondary sex characteristics and will never be able to have normal adult sex.
The British women did not “harrass” or “attack” that six foot man in a dress. His job is as a lobbyist for the trans industry, trying to get US laws passed to make it easier for children to be sliced, diced and drugged, and for men to be able to “self-identify” their ways into women’s spaces.
Of course radical feminists are against such travesties.
Oh, so it’s really just a practical question about length of lines and waiting times?
Indeed, I suggest accelerating this. Lesbians who exclude transwomen from consensual sex are bigots. Only Nazis are against transwomen having consensual sex with them.Replies: @adreadline, @wagelaborer, @AnotherDad
You are really, really behind the times. Men who are trans have been demanding that lesbians have sex with them for years now, and they are quite nasty about their demands.

Gay men, on the whole, did not come to the defense of their lesbian sisters, until it occurred to them that they will now have to have sex with “transmen”, i.e. vagina-havers. Well, that’s going too far!

Cyborg uterine geography: Complicating ‘care’ and social reproduction
Sophie Lewis First Published November 8, 2018 Research Article
Abstract
Most geographers have sided with ‘cyborgs’ (technonatural subjects) against ‘goddesses’ (e.g. Mother Earth) on questions of embodiment. In itself this provides no justification for the relative dearth (in geography) of theorizing ‘with’ the uterus as a site of doing and undoing; what I propose to call uterine geography. ‘Uterine’ relations are fundamentally cyborg, animatedly labouring and not only spatial but spatializing: they make and unmake places, borders, kin. This includes not only abortion, miscarriage, menstruation and pregnancy (whose transcorporeal and chimeric character is well documented in medical anthropology) but also other life-enabling forms of holding and letting go that do not involve anatomical uteri (such as trans-mothering and other alter-familial practices). Despite our discipline’s ostensible interest in co-production, hybridity and the more-than-human, the ‘doing’ aspects of intra and interuterine processes have tended to be black-boxed in accounts of care economies and social reproduction. The proposed remedy is deromanticization: an approach that critically politicizes uterine relations as historically contingent and subject to amelioration through struggle. Potential aides include Maggie Nelson’s idea that ‘labor does you’, Suzanne Sadedin’s account of gestation’s mutual hostility and the concepts of ‘sym-poiesis’ and ‘metramorphosis’. One notable consequence of this expanded concept of the uterine is that ‘assisted reproduction’, as it is characterized today, ceases to be categorically separate from other kinds of reproduction.Replies: @Achmed E. Newman, @YetAnotherAnon
That uterine geography is old hat – Shakespeare was doing something pretty similar 400 years ago.

Not according to the radical feminist 60 year old mother with osteoporosis that was a victim of assault at speakers corner it isn’t.
Hoe can can actual women in Britain refer to a man without sex change surgery in court? The judge reminded the victim to stop referring to her assailant as ‘he’ because that is what the defendant wanted. The victim said she was trying but was not used to using the word she to refer to a man. She had taken an oath to tell the whole truth and nothing but. The Judge instructed her to not refer to the defendant by use of the word “he” while giving evidence.
As far as I'm concerned, radical feminists are crazy but the judge you mention is crazier (as are the TERF-bashing trannies, but that goes without saying).

Dissenting protestants have been around from the beginning of the American story--foundational. Ideas springing from their religious views have certainly had their political impact--ex. abolition, prohibition.
However there's is nothing like minoritarianism. If you look at the political thrust of these folks thought in fact it's attitude toward minorities is more like "behave better"--i.e. prohibition aimed at my drunken Irish cousins (and, of course men generally).
You can certainly blame some of America's utopian--City-on-a-Hill-ism--on these folks, but minoritarism isn't their deal. Rather it's pushing the whole population--the majority--to come to Jesus and behave ... like a bible believing dissenting protestant.
Minoritarism, shows up with the rise of the Jews. I'm old, but not "elderly"--at least in my own mind--and i can remember my youth, my schooling in the 60s. Even after the civil rights march minoritarianism as an ideology was still minimal in the popular culture. The culture was still highly majoritarian--and it was fricking great! (I feel bad for the guys behind me that missed this experience and even worse for my children and descendants. What's been lost is immesasurable.)
No minoritarianism is a Jewish ideology and has been pushed out to the broader West by American political, military and cultural dominance. (Where that media\cultural dominance is not overwhelming, it doesn't really take root.)

Of course, transgender people are a thing because of mosaicism and chimerism. But transracial people are not a thing, even though you have mosaicism and chimerism.
You also obviously know it is possible to descend from an individual of any given race — say, from a Bushman, or an American Indian — and yet have a modern genetic test not pick that up. Naturally.

You can make an individual look like a member of a different race through plastic surgery and skin whitening/darkening. (look at Michael Jackson or to a lesser instance neymar). But a dna test done by those people will not change as it will not change if it is done by a trans person after a sex change.
Once you acknowledge that biological complexity, you have to start addressing research into what causes transsexualism rather than making disparaging comparisons to nonsense like transracialism or people who think they are Napoleon.
I would add that while I agree that genital surgery is purely cosmetic with trans people, the influence of cross-sex hormones is very biologically real, which again drives home the point that sex is not just a matter of genetics.

Interestingly, I was watching one of those stupid British talk circle programs and here's the token "conservative" saying, well, now we know that loosening all the laws about porn and cursing in publishing and movies back in the 60's didn't bring the promised improvement in behavior. Remember how it was going to let off the steam and people would be more faithful in marriage and kinder to kids? Balderdash. Well, the leftists sitting there agreed and shook their heads in despair at how far our culture has descended into utter nihilism. Of course, their idea of morality is nothing traditional or Christian, but they can see that letting cats out of the bag creates even worse problems than any of us thought possible.

Not just outright perversion. The normalisation of adultery, promiscuity and divorce have done just as much harm, to both society and to the individual.
All sexual misconduct is harmful.
This minoritarian ideology--minorities good, majorities bad--is a creation of Jews. It grew and really took root here in American media, academic and political culture and has been pushed out from America--academically, politically and culturally, but especially through media (Hollyweird)--first to the Anglosphere and on to the broader West.
It's certainly true that it dovetails in Europe with some more indigenous trends--post-colonial and post-War guilt, malaise and loss of spirit. And Europeans can certainly front run in some areas--like the UK, lacking a 1st amendment, in criminalizing dissent.
But at its core it's driven by American Jews. So in the UK, some lesbians with some institutional power in British government and media, can assert their interests and push back. But in the US, someone might whine a bit, but they will quickly be beaten into submission for being anti-minoritarian. Minorities are always right. And "exclusion" is the worse crime in human history--after the Holocaust.
But for these valiant efforts, somewhere some goy guy would be sipping his Old Fashioned on the veranda of his country club with his goy guy friends. To save us from that hideous fate that the West must die.Replies: @Anonymous, @dfordoom
In Europe it started with the decay of Christianity in the 18th century. The 19th century was all downhill. By the beginning of the 20th century, before the First World War, European art was already celebrating degeneracy, squalor and nihilism. In fact European art and literature had been wallowing in the gutter for quite a while (think of Byron, or Baudelaire, or Swinburne).
Occult fads and what we’d now call New Age cults became very popular in the late 19th century.
The intellectual class were entirely secular. The upper and lower classes were mostly secular. Christianity held a bit longer among the middle classes but in places like England it was largely cultural Christianity.
European civilisation was beginning to crumble. The First World War accelerated a process that had already begun.
It’s possible that American intellectuals picked up the infection from the French in the 20s and 30. And of course German intellectuals fleeing the Nazis brought even more virulent strains with them. America was particularly vulnerable since American Puritanism quickly transformed itself into missionary liberalism.
So it probably started in Europe but became truly pathological in America.
The point you are evading is that there is more to biological sex development than DNA. Ancestry on the other hand is solely a product of DNA and nothing else.
Once you acknowledge that biological complexity, you have to start addressing research into what causes transsexualism rather than making disparaging comparisons to nonsense like transracialism or people who think they are Napoleon.
I would add that while I agree that genital surgery is purely cosmetic with trans people, the influence of cross-sex hormones is very biologically real, which again drives home the point that sex is not just a matter of genetics.
Only since the Clinton era, right?
There are different varieties of transwomen though. Gynephilic and phallophilic have v different profiles, and it’s apparently well documented.
Seems pretty weak sauce for an insult. They are radical feminists and they exclude transgenders, just like the label says. Okay then!
As far as I’m concerned, radical feminists are crazy but the judge you mention is crazier (as are the TERF-bashing trannies, but that goes without saying).
‘Lean lesbian’.
‘Tis a rare bird, outside of the fantasies peddled by the porn industry.
Not for nothing was the approbation ‘Bull Dyke’ composed.
When commercial off-track gambling on horseracing in the UK was first legalized, back in the early ’60s, the newly founded bookmakers’ shops – which spread all over the UK with great rapidity, rather like a plague of Somalis – tried to dignify themselves by using the silly misnomer ‘Turf Accountant’, (perhaps the couplet of Prairie Oyster?), to describe their nefarious activity.
Well I suppose these days ‘turf accountant’ means a transgendered CEO of some Wall Street firm.

Look at the defacto leader of the Democratic Party -- Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. She released her "Green New Deal" today and it was all over the radio and TV and online. All about banning all cars, airplanes, cows, demolishing every building and rebuilding them as net zero.
Plus all Hispanics world wide are owed American citizenship and don't have to obey laws because they are really indigenous people. Especially those from Central America and should have their own special rights based on race.
Oh, and they are all owed a guaranteed wage regardless if they work or not, or want to work.
That's the Democratic Party. Don't think that pretty much every Latino on the Planet is not down with Whitey working to the bone to support them. Pure power play by Miss Congeniality to dump all over Pelosi. Total Catfight winner move.

Um, you clearly have never been to Thailand. I live in Thailand, and have a long time. Homosexuality is broadly accepted. You may not like homosexuality, and that’s fine, but it’s best to be accurate about a country you know nothing about. Have you ever heard of Soi Twilight (the gay neighborhood in Bangkok)? In upcountry Thailand, far north of Bangkok or Pattaya, gay people are everywhere, accepted without question, and the only discrimination they typically receive is from Thai Chinese parents who do not want their children to fail in passing down their name. You are disconnected from reality, I’m afraid to say. It is without question the most gay-friendly country in all of East Asia.
Because sex expression is malleable on an individual level without genetic engineering, from conception on, hence externally-visible intersex disorders and the ability of people to respond to cross sex hormones even after puberty.
Racial ancestry is a historical process of admixture. There are no natural biological process that can change one’s specific admixture post-conception.
This is basic biology. If you’re going to hold opinions on trans people, at least have some basic scientific literacy.Replies: @adreadline, @GermanReader2, @YetAnotherAnon
“Race expression” is malleable too. Take enough T and you’ll soon find you take offence easily and get into fights with those who you think are disrespecting you.
“There are no natural biological process that can change one’s specific admixture post-conception.”
There are no natural biological processes that can add or subtract a Y chromosome from someone born XX or XY, either. As for intersex, these are a tiny percentage of births, you may as well claim albino Kenyans are ‘race-expressing’ as white.
Female “sex expression” doesn’t seem to go very deep if you have XY – see those who claim a female identity but use the evolved male tool of violence against perceived enemies – see Tara Wolf or Lauren Jeska for examples.

No.
Dissenting protestants have been around from the beginning of the American story–foundational. Ideas springing from their religious views have certainly had their political impact–ex. abolition, prohibition.
However there’s is nothing like minoritarianism. If you look at the political thrust of these folks thought in fact it’s attitude toward minorities is more like “behave better”–i.e. prohibition aimed at my drunken Irish cousins (and, of course men generally).
You can certainly blame some of America’s utopian–City-on-a-Hill-ism–on these folks, but minoritarism isn’t their deal. Rather it’s pushing the whole population–the majority–to come to Jesus and behave … like a bible believing dissenting protestant.
Minoritarism, shows up with the rise of the Jews. I’m old, but not “elderly”–at least in my own mind–and i can remember my youth, my schooling in the 60s. Even after the civil rights march minoritarianism as an ideology was still minimal in the popular culture. The culture was still highly majoritarian–and it was fricking great! (I feel bad for the guys behind me that missed this experience and even worse for my children and descendants. What’s been lost is immesasurable.)
No minoritarianism is a Jewish ideology and has been pushed out to the broader West by American political, military and cultural dominance. (Where that media\cultural dominance is not overwhelming, it doesn’t really take root.)
Hate to say it, but Europe would have been better off if the US and Russia had nuked each other in October ’62.
Indeed, I suggest accelerating this. Lesbians who exclude transwomen from consensual sex are bigots. Only Nazis are against transwomen having consensual sex with them.Replies: @adreadline, @wagelaborer, @AnotherDad
This is already here on the racial side in the USA.
There are, i believe, the usual minoritarian opt outs. If you’re a Jewish woman, you can say you are only interested in Jewish guys. If you’re a black woman, you can say you only want to date black men.
But if you are a white gentile woman you will be badgered and denounced if you publically admit that you are only interested in white men, or do not want to date or have sex with black men. You must be interested in black men, you must find them wildly attractive. Fairly to do so means you’re a racist.
Of course a white woman can still go about her business of trying to find a white guy to marry and father her children. That is not–as yet–a problem. She can have her private opinion of the suitability of black men for her. But she can not speak about her preferences publically or risk denunciation.

I feel as though we are rapidly approaching the point where the lunatic Left is going to start floating laws banning heterosexual white men – i.e. if a white male cannot prove he is bisexual to the state then it’s off to the re-education camp or worse.

The whole way that the psychiatric profession divides neuropathologies up doesn't make any sense when you look behind the curtain at the genes. They know now that many hitherto completely different mental illnesses are really different manifestations of the same thing. So that changes how they look at heritability. Also, a lot of mental illnesses, included types of autism, are not hereditary, but de novo mutations, in the germ cells or through a glitch during the building of the brain.
I hope that researchers will get the courage to do this sort of research on gender dysphoria. It requires thousands or tens of thousands of genomes, and adding a question or two to the intake forms used for informed consent before taking genetic samples will be explosively controversial. Irate MtF trannies will figure out what's going on, they're smart, and they'll create an uproar, "They're trying to make us look like head classes, the bigots!"
But the fact that gender dysphoria is comorbid with various mental conditions is a big, big hint that it, itself, is a mental condition. First of all, the idea that discrimination against trannies causes their mental distress is unlikely, since the various problems they have, depression, etc., are genetic, we now know. Secondly, we now know that "comorbid" mental diseases are better thought of as a single encompassing condition, because that's how they look in the genome.Replies: @Steve Sailer, @Ghost of Bull Moose
Of course it must be very distressing to believe you are ‘trapped in the wrong body.’ These people deserve pity and might benefit from extensive therapy.
But it is downright cruel for the self-proclaimed ‘believers’ in science to say, yes, you’re right. Nature has made a mistake, and you are it. Let’s cut your genitals off and build you a mock hoohah, then hope to hell it doesn’t necrotize.
