I-dentity (aka trans) politics is fundamentally LIBERTARIAN. It is ahistorical and acontextual. It essentializes sex stereotypes by renaming them consensual “gender identities.” It invisibilizes power structures that give rise to female oppression. It is anti-feminist.

What
Oh dear.
Trans isn’t ahistorical, its just that like homosexuality before it, it was hidden and papered over. It isnt acontextual as it exists throughout many, many cultures.
I do think that there are problems with the current discourses withing trans* activism, but IMHO, thats because of patriarchy working to ensure that those who are trans* dont upset the gender binary that rigidly assigns female-sexed humans to a female gender role.
So transwomen in particular are pressurised to become more feminine than the female in order to prove their trans* identity, encouraged to have surgery to look like bio-sexed women and sexualised in porn to confirm them as part of the sex-class of women.
Transwomen are the misunderstood sisters of feminists.
No.
Bullshit.
You can’t respond to a thought out arguament with ‘no’. By not providing a counter arguament, and yet continuing to opose that arguament, you only succeed in making yourself seem irational in your beliefs.
Get your dick out of your ass and justify some of your oppinions- if you can’t you don’t deserve to have them.
“get your dick out of your ass”? Really?
Sir, this blog has lots of responses to that nice liberal girl. Go read them.

Thank you for the considered and thoughtful response which demonstrates how carefully you have researched the issue.
Hi – You are an idiot. You could bother to read this blog, or any number of places where I have written on this, but noooooooooooooooooo. You are lazy. I will see you protesting in London, I am sure. Buy me a beer and I will be happy to tell you in person what I think.
