It is a common tactic among trans activists to justify their hate/violent threats against women they disagree with, by dehumanizing said women. That, and in an attempt to turn 'misgerndering' back on those of us who are gender critical, it's a common tactic for transactivists to call the women they disagree with them 'he' or 'it'. Again, not to make it about the detractors, but I know there was some confusion around this.
People really want to pretend that trans women never look like this… Why?
I mean does your support for trans women lessen when they look like men in wigs and makeup? What’s your beef with this portrayal? Are trans women only valid to you when they look like cis barbie dolls? I’ve seen plenty of trans women that look like men, because well… C’mon.
Especially when they “transition” well into adulthood and don’t have the money for cosmetic surgeries. Are these kinds of trans women not valid to you TRAs?
Stop pretending these people do not exist.
The author is anti-porn but this reads like a fetish comic
As a libertarian, I disagree with the radical feminist view on kink, porn, and prostitution; I believe that consenting adults have the right to do things even if others find them “perverted”. But people don’t have the right to force themselves on others, so I agree with a women-only club such as is illustrated here excluding “transwomen” if they wish. And on this issue I find the “radfems” more congruent with biological reality than trans activists. Back in the ’80s and ’90s I was very much against radical feminism for its censoriousness (and they did seem to be part of that era’s political correctness movement) but in recent times I’ve found things to agree with in their beliefs even if I don’t buy them entirely.
For people criticizing their appearance as “strawman”, I actually saw a dude with a skullet and lipstick protesting a Megan Murphy talk. And there are sooo many selfies of TIMs that look like all three. If anything, the author made them less perverted because they’re decently-if ridiculously-dressed.
I would just like to say that this comic is INCREDIBLY cathartic for me to read, and was sent to me by another radfem and lesbian who feels the same way. Reading a comic where women actually get to keep our spaces ours is a fucking amazing and liberating feeling after spending my time reading about TW being allowed into female spaces more and more. Thank you for providing this incredibly important art for those of us who really need the hope it provides us. X
I’m cackling at these depictions. They’re SO accurate LOL I’ve seen sooooo many male-to-female transgendered people that look exactly like this. I mean, goddamn, the reality of Twitter and Reddit are often far worse than this leads on. Those are the exact things they say while looking like that too. They have these conjured-up pornified identities that look stupid and ugly as hell; it’s just so ironic.
It IS disgustingly transphobic. I’m out.
There aren’t enough psychoactive drugs in the world to make me believe fully intact males with Laydeefeelz are women, and so many of them really do look just like this group of antagonists. It’s amazing the mental gymnastics we’re expected to do to avoid offending middle-aged autogynephiles.
