Redefining women from a sex class to a mixed-sex class based on male sexual projections reifies sex-role stereotypes and requires actual women and girls to dissociate body and mind. After all, we’re not allowed to say we’re women because we’re female anymore. We’re supposed to look inside ourselves and find something

I was gob-smacked to discover a new word in this article -- reify -- that in all my 71 years I had never heard or used, and it is a fabulous word! I feel like such an idiot. How could I have missed it?
I'm not sure what "sissy-porn" is, so I don't fully understand the article. The word "sissy" is usually used for effeminate men. One thing I HAVE noticed is that the transgender phenomenon has created a new category of porn actor: the trans woman who decides to keep her male genitals and to put them on display along with her artificial breasts. Being gay, I usually look at porn that has all men in it (in which there is not a huge amount of sexism, thank God). But I am increasingly seeing images of the type of trans woman that I just described -- half woman and half man, or what used to be called a "femmy boy" back in the early days of transgenderism. This has actually become another reason for me to resent trans women -- they are invading gay porn, which heretofore was untouched by the trans phenomenon. Officially, these porn actors are males because they have male genitals, but their glamorous faces and fulsome breasts make them some kind of strange hybrid that I am unable to find attractive.
One thing I find curious is this: Supposedly trans women hate to be reminded of the fact that they are biological males. But if you are a porn actor who is putting both your breasts AND your male genitals on display, wouldn't that be an obvious reminder of your biological maleness? I suppose that there are some trans women who don't hate their male genitals, as most of them seem to.
Modern medicine is gradually turning the world into a freak show. It's true that plastic surgery can repair deformities, and that's great. But then we got the phenomenon of strange-looking people who had excessive or poor-quality plastic surgery. We also got such things as Dolly Parton's breasts (now imitated by Wendy Williams). Then there was that craze in which people of color were having their buttocks enlarged. And now medical science is giving us tall women with masculine faces (trans women) and small men with boyish faces (trans men). Some of the trans women are going in for facial feminization surgery, but there is always a residual maleness to their faces.
And now we have these hermaphrodites with both female and male body parts.
I find myself questioning everything I see. If I see a tall woman with a handsome face, I immediately wonder if she is a trans woman. Even worse, I will sometimes find myself attracted to a small, cute man (I've been attracted to small men all my life), only to realize that I may be looking at a trans man. I have nightmares about going to bed with a cute young man and finding a vagina in his pants. (No, Chase Strangio is not cute to me.)
Brilliantly expressed. Reading about girlhood and womanhood being redefined in ways that make no sense to girls and women, I had a vague sense that this reminded me of something. Then I remembered. Reading classic male authors (Dickens, Melville, Shakespeare and others) in my late teens I'd be swept up in the wonderful wordsmithing and storytelling. Until I hit an unpleasant wall--I was reading along completely immersed, looking at life through the eyes of a male character who would describe a female character in two dimensional terms that I, an actual female, could not relate to. It was disorienting and disturbing, because I was in a relationship of trust with the writer. "If THAT is a woman, then who am I?" I'd wonder. Even--maybe especially--when the woman was deified as a goddess it was disturbing and knocked me right out of the story. As a human being with human problems and aspirations, I related to Pip. As a woman, I did not relate to Estella. I did not have this experience when reading female authors. I am glad I had access to those great writers--but I took a break from male writers for a few years. No, of course it's not all men who do this to women in response to a comment. But it seems to me that the sissy porn definition of women is just a new and ugly twist on a very old theme. At least I still think Dickens is a great writer.
Ms. Chu's writing is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this essay. She's just one trans activist. She's a convenient straw....(person?) for your argument but is it an accurate assessment of the movement's motivations as a whole?
From what I read from a Twitter man aroused by male transexuals (gyneandromorphophiles) they are attracted to imaginary female images morphed from male bodies (sometimes their own if they have autogynephilia). So they are indeed different from average gay/bisexual men who are attracted to men's actual bodies. I was a very artistic young gay male painter and a married male neighbor asked me one day if I could paint my face as "a woman does" for him in my bedroom. Looking back, I think that man might have been a gyneandromorphophile. I'm glad I ran from him because a lot of this feminization thing is to view femininity as humiliation for sexual pleasure.

Eliza, I'm checking out. Maybe you don't care about one free subscriber, but I'm tired of your writing about "men" as if they are the enemy. They are not. Normal men (yes, they exist) are sickened by this. They are new to the issue and most of them react in disbelief. That is normal, too. But some of them are speaking out, and the reaction by feminists is to want to exclude them instead of recognizing them as allies.
Who are our enemies? Crazy, sick men are our enemy - and the women like Macy Gray, who flagellate themselves publicly for telling the truth, are our enemy. But you keep generalizing about "men" and I'm tired of that. I hope you can come to a place where you see that. Best to you.

Thank you for this. We need hard-hitting writing that gets to the necrotic heart of this misogynist movement.
I feel debased by the men who want to define women!
From what I read from a Twitter man aroused by male transexuals (gyneandromorphophiles) they are attracted to imaginary female images morphed from male bodies (sometimes their own if they have autogynephilia). So they are indeed different from average gay/bisexual men who are attracted to men's actual bodies.

Terf bullshit

This is so hard to read! We are living in an age of regression in so many ways! The fact that this is even allowed is frightening!
