Freedom In Wickedness

cannedkitty:

I know it’s just easier to pick on women, but does anyone genuinely believe that eradicating radical feminism and silencing every radical feminist would save even one trans* person from being assaulted, raped or killed?  Because the misogyny and homophobia that make up transphobia would continue to exist if radical feminism were eradicated.  But if we erase radical feminism then we would have perhaps erased the very last defenses against those very ideologies. 

You’re willfully ignoring the fact that radical feminists are solely and directly responsible for a lot of the discrimination against trans* people. One of the primary objectives of radical feminism, as clearly and unapologetically laid out by its founding mothers, is to to exterminate all trans* people by — in their own words, “morally mandating the problem out of existence”.

Radical feminists have achieved tremendous success in not only reinforcing existing forms of oppression against trans* people, but creating entirely new ones. For example, if it wasn’t for radical feminists medical treatment for trans* people would have been covered by federal healthcare mandates since the 1970s. It was solely the opposition of radical feminists which prevented this, and this opposition was entirely based on the ideological demand that trans people “need” to be denied medical care.
