Any thoughts on 'Female Erasure'?


Guest

Recommended Posts

I started to read it with my mind set on masochistic mode and the forewords were totally transphobic and filed with lies. 

 

The first chapter was actually really intriguing with that research of prehistoric matriarchat and it real role of build up of the society.

 

Now I am reading the second chapter and it's kind of intense and I am waiting for the 'rabbit/transphobia/ to jump out of the hat'. 

 

Have any of you read the book and your thoughts about it?

I kind of agree with @MaryMary here. I looked at the book on Amazon. I read a bunch of reviews. I don't hate myself that much anymore. That's probably a good thing.

 

Best of luck to you though. I applaud your courage and intestinal fortitude.

Thank you all!

 

If it becomes unbearable it's sure that I might not continue reading it. As I said for now the forewords from Ruth Barrett and Germaine Greer (we know who the second one is for sure) are the transphobic part, but I am at the beigining. 

 

So I prepared the antidotes, as well: Julia Serano's classic "Whipping Girl" and my own counter-points review at Medium. :) 

 

Hugs!

Okay! 

At this point it's (the book) really down to this: 

- I hate myself for being a woman or else because I am oppressed, but I love my vagina, no matter how much of a tool for oppression is, but I hate being a woman.;
- We need to erase gender and go back to be simple mammals with genitals, which means females will still be at the bottom;
- I am obsessed with my genitals and others, as well;
- I hate men, men have their experience; It doesn't matter that some trans women fake man experience to survive (like me) 
- We love our fake womyn only spaces, created, approved and sponsored by the sexists that oppress us;
- Let's blame everything on the trans women because they are "men" in our perception and we are dumb enough to want to limit everything to bio sex; 

and more and more and more... absurd after absurd after absurd...

I stuck on Gallus Mag and her "erasure of women" part of the pie... Sheila Jeffreys is the next one... But I really need a long rest!

You have done very well. Relax. Do something that you enjoy and thank you for taking one for the team. Seriously, you're made of sterner stuff than I.

Thank you Jackie, but at some point it really becomes a pain- in - you - know - where. But it's the same  hatered and lies again and againq so you kind of get used, immune to that poison. 

 

Hugs!

Actually, we can naever be "fully" used to that poison. It will always do some damage...

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

A ballot initiative is going to go absolutely nowhere. They're wasting their time.   Carolyn Marie

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
