Why have these men only "bullied their way into" feminist organizations so much more effectively than other organizations? Why does every poll show greater support for transgender ideology among women than among men? Why are mothers more likely to trans their children than men are? I don't know exactly what the answers to these questions are, but asking them is not misogyny (just like questioning the trans movement isn't evidence of a phobia).

You are literally commenting on a site where feminists and other women are calling out and pushing back on the trans lunacy. There are feminists who have never accepted this male fetishism and I focus on those women as they are feminists who center women. Male fetishists (troons) who have inserted themselves into women's orgs and call themselves feminists are delusional, disordered predators b/c no decent man would do that. And any woman who would countenance such behavior should be ashamed of themselves as they are no supporter of women.

I didn't say there were no women or feminists who oppose gender nonsense (although conservative women are better about it). Only that a great number are agreeable with it, especially those in nominally feminist institutions.

Thank you for the clarification Simon.

Good for you.

But y'all seem rather reluctant to consider how and what feminism has contributed to the transgender clusterfuck. "gender" is -- to a large extent -- the creation, if not the Frankensteinian monster, of feminism.

It is the monster of male fetishism and women are not responsible for disordered men's sexual fetishes and paraphilias--they are responsible for their delusions and their pervy behavior--they have to take responsibility for themselves.

Anyone who aids fetishist men to gain access to vulnerable women is also responsible for their own behavior. Do you agree?

Good questions -- the answers to which aren't particularly flattering to either women or feminism in general. The former generally not well-served by the latter.

ICYMI, a rather brilliant essay on the topic by Marco Del Giudice of the University of New Mexico, the link to which Colin Wright had tweeted several years ago:

Much of feminism has, rather sadly, been corrupted by a great deal of anti-scientific and postmodernist claptrap. Methinks that Eliza might find it useful or profitable to promote a discussion on the topic -- even if it may, at least in the short term, jeopardize the buttering of her own bread ...
