“Progressive” woman risks all to tell the world<\/a> what used to be screechingly obvious:<\/p>\n

\n

I asked why as a woman who was born with woman parts it is now considered transphobic to want to have conversations about the distinct and unquestionable differences in life experience between cis and trans women. I asked why when women have faced systematic violence at the hands of men and 1 in six women is raped, is it wrong for cis women to have some spaces just for them to feel safe in a world where they don\u2019t? And I was immediately threatened, labeled as transphobic, and left to feel as if my voice was nothing.<\/p>\n

I am angry. Angry because now even questioning these issues is seen as an act of hate, discrimination, or intolerance. Angry because wanting to have open conversations is now considered hate speech. I am angry that as a woman who has constantly had to be careful of my language and behavior around men to ensure my own safety, I am now being forced to police my language even more, around and for trans women who had entirely<\/p>\n

different experiences and anatomy. Female language around female issues is important to many cis women because we have struggled to even have our identities and issues seen as valid.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

All these liberals reading\u00a01984<\/em>,and nobody gets it; it’s not about solving anything. \u00a0It’s about destroying the will to be free by making it too exhausting, fraught, and dangerous.<\/p>\n
