      I guess they truly don’t realize the sort of wider thinking they are doing - in essence saying that the people that cost the society the least and “produce” (read: produce personal wealth) the most are the only valuable members effectively gives the rich and powerful the right to determine who gets to live what life, in a very eerie resemblance of feudalism. People are no longer tied to the land, but what money they can squeeze out of it or other people. Instead of noble titles inherited by bloodline it’ll be titles and deeds passed on via inheritance, creating an even more rigidly entrenched feudal class system. Kinda horrifying

      I have a variety of health issues that are never going away and the fear that people have about being a “lifelong patient” is profoundly selfish AND self aggrandizing. If they had x, y or, z they would magically be physically, cognitively, emotionally etc. etc strong enough to overcome whatever diagnosis comes their way. People who have never experienced chronic illness are the ones MOST certain that “it isn’t that bad”, “taking chemicals everyday is so much worse”. “ if you just changed your lifestyle it would go away”
      They are so certain of this because the idea that they could suddenly become chronically ill/disabled for the rest of their life terrifies them. And they would rather demonize vulnerable people than face the fact that reality is scary.

    A few years ago I was swept into the radfem/terf community. I had just stopped doing sex work and was extremely traumatised, seeking an anti-sex work community to cope and get validation. These anti-sex work communities were almost always radical feminists and terfs. I started identifying as a radfem, but not a terf (at first). Then I was assaulted and abused by a trans woman. Prior to that event I openly hated terfs and gender critical people, but the validation from the radfem community I was apart of seemed to help me cope with my trauma. I started becoming more and more radicalised due to my traumas, and suddenly I was deep into the terf community. I knew that my assault didn’t represent all trans women and I really tried to repress my growing prejudiced thoughts, but my fear and dislike of trans women grew. Transphobic rhetoric from the terf community combined with my trauma radicalised me, even though I knew deep down it was wrong, but I felt like these terfs were the only people who understood me. But after going to therapy and accidentally befriending a trans woman (who is now one of my best friends), I left the community feeling disgusted with myself. I’m sorry for the essay lol, but I really wanted to share my experiences with the community. It’s scary how fast these extremists can manipulate and radicalise you. For me, it only went a few months going from anti-terf liberal SJW to joining legitimate terf communities. I’m so ashamed of it now, but I want people to see a glimpse of how these communities work.

"leftist" politics in general centers yt, educated, middle-class, straight people & yet offers no support... I see exactly why it happens.

It's been months since I saw it but for a video about incels she barely talked about misogyny, which made a lot of incels who watched the video comfortable with their ideas and I even saw incels saying that she was using their pain for views because she also barely talked about inceldom. I don't think she treated the topic with the depth it needs. She also kind of implies that any lonely, struggling single man has a path towards inceldom, which is incels favorite excuse to deflect from the real foundation of it: hating women.

Am i supposed to grow my own mold to harvest my own insulin or something so im "not a drain" because i have a chronic condition????? No like. We have the resources to keep people healthy and alive. Its not a drain. Because we, us trans people or people with chronic conditions go on to live our beautiful lives. We deserve life as much as anyone else. I mean shit she's literally wearing glasses - is she not "a drain" because she'll constantly need to update her prescription and get new lenses and frames over the course of her life?
    Thats one of those things that annoys me about people like this. My father (really my family lol) is this way so i deal with it a lot. They make these weird, shitty blanket statements without thinking all the way through of what it is theyre actually saying and what the ramifications of such policies or ideas would be.
    Good example, i have this aunt who runs an electrical business. She once had this whole discussion with me about how, in her opinion, "Public schools should be banned. If you cant afford education then you shouldn't be allowed to be educated"
    And it was so baffling to hear her spit that out because. 1.) she sent her own children to our local public schools so ma'am wtf
    And 2.) the business she runs? Most of her electricians are guys who have gone exclusively to public school, and then attended a trade school. So
    With her little "ew poor people shouldnt be allowed to get an education" she'd basically make it to where she'd be incapable of finding anyone to hire
    And also like. Why??? Would you want people to be uneducated???? What is the purpose of that? And it's not like shes part of the 1% or anything. Shes middle class in the middle bumfuck nowhere south. So its like

      It's that trans isn't a medical issue, but a psychological one. That's the difference. With the no public schools idea poor people would work and then go to school and private schools would compete leading to cheaper school. Right now the public schools force money from people using the government and they don't have to compete. Public school also steals time and large amounts of money could even be given to poor people instead.

    "As a Muslim feminist from Pakistan-where feminism is local, and has many colors, and isn’t always called “feminism” because “feminism” is owned and run by White women who bring White men in fighter planes-I felt wracked with discomfort. I heard the baristas’ assumptions about Middle Easterners and Muslims. I thought of Pakistani activists, scholars, lawyers, theologians, politicians, and laypeople that habitually allied themselves with feminist causes. I thought of women who stand up for equality and gender justice and, for their commitment to those ideals, deal with much harsher realities on the street and at home than middle-class American women do, to. It hadn’t occurred to my baristas that “those people” had already come up with ideas, strategies, and jihads to try to change patriarchal norms and oppressive customs. It hadn’t occurred to them that brown and black folks who spoke funny languages were sometimes engaged in a life-and-death struggle to change societal practices. Weren’t they all swarthy, bearded males featured shouting furiously about America on the cover of Newsweek?"

    I remember in the 80s, I had sympathy toward radical feminism, although I thought the "lesbian separatists" (which is what we called them then, and were similar to what gets called TERFs today) were making mistakes that were hurting women overall. That is, their extremism in wanting separate space for women quickly became divisive and absurd. At the time, I recall it being about what age a woman could bring her son to a "women's only" space. The cutoff was really young. To me, that was destructive to feminism, if you don't include mothers or make it possible for them to attend. That impulse, which at the time just seemed wrong-headed and extreme, is what I think inevitably led to trans exclusion. It was probably happening even then, but I didn't hear about it. People now don't realize how invisible trans people were to cis people back then. To say we were ignorant is a huge understatement. It wasn't until the last decade that I really learned about trans issues. On the other hand, I was not a separatist and didn't participate in any deliberate trans exclusion.
    It was possible to be more sympathetic to the separatists then, because they weren't collaborating with people taking away abortion rights. I saw them as mostly traumatized people who wanted a space they saw as safe. Unfortunately, they defined "safety" more by genitalia than is realistic. It was comprehensible, and as I said, most of us were completely ignorant about trans issues and how trans people were being treated and hurt by this subculture. The lesbian separatists had no power at all at the time. They were as fringe as you could get -- fringe of fringe. They often verged on ridiculous. They spent their time correcting people who said "seminar" with "ovular" and adding 10,000 years to the current date. Their spaces kept going out of business even in progressive cities. So they were quite unlike their TERF heirs. You could have compassion for how they'd been hurt by men and hope that they would heal. Instead they kept migrating toward the very powers they said they were fighting and are now scapegoating the most vulnerable.
    It's still very difficult to get my head around. I suppose because there was a long period where I just wasn't paying attention to these movements and subcultures. I had a rude awakening when I first saw a TERF video that was spewing the most vile abuse and hatred toward trans women. I was shocked to the core. It's taken me some years to trace how the people I often felt sympathy for in the 80s and 90s have morphed into attack dogs for the right wing. Words cannot express my sadness, disappointment, and anger.

    One minor point not touched on here which is extremely interesting: Jennifer Bilek actually worked as a lawyer for Deep Green Resistance, and a lot of her rhetoric is rooted in that of the more insular and bigoted end of the anarcho-primitivist (and greater green anarchist) movement which DGR emerged out of, where the critique of large-scale industrial civilisation as unsustainable and fundamentally destructive both to the planet and to human thriving, rather than expanded to account for the needs of those whose situations benefit to some extent from technological advancements such as transgender and disabled people, contracts to treat those groups as problems to be solved, often in implicitly or explicitly exterminationist terms. The paranoia about technology, in particular, echoes the primitivist-adjacent theorist and terrorist Ted Kaczynski's fixation on the dangers of biotech in his infamous manifesto, as well as his reactionary attitudes towards trans people, which while perhaps rooted in his own fraught relationship with gender were nevertheless quite venomous. I will caution that regardless of how one might feel about the implications of their beliefs, far from all anti-civ writers are so ableist and transphobic; there is a reason that the likes of Lierre Keith, Jennifer Bilek and DGR cofounder Derrick Jensen were drummed out of anarchist spaces, and part of that was other anprims calling them out for their bigotry. But the stereotype among anarchists of the unhinged transphobic ableist anprim exists for a reason, and Ted K and DGR are big parts of that.

More recently, she's appeared on DGR's Green Flame podcast and has seen her 11th Hour blogposts recirculated on their official website. That said, recalling precisely where I was first tipped off about this connection is difficult, in part because it seems like a lot of Bilek's pre-conspiracy blogging history in environmentalist activism seems patchily recorded online, either through deliberate obfuscation or link decay or simply because most of her activity at the time was offline.

I would still be a "lifelong patient" because I need adderall and zoloft to half ass function in a world that wasn't built for me, and doesn't want to understand me even without my transness. Which, that too is an extension of mental health. But I get the feeling with her language of "sane" world she'd prefer us all to go back to electroshock therapy and lobotomies anyway, shut us in an "asylum" so they can forget we exist. Despicable.
    Also love how adderall is stigmatized and criminalized. The way I get treated when I go to pick up my prescription is genuinely upsetting to me.

      It being open to you means it's open to cis people with hormone issues as well. A guy with low t still deserves treatment.
      To eliminate people for needing hormone meds, we'd be looking at probably 10-30% of people depending on how strict we go and if we include people who need fertility treatments. More if we include birth control.

In the last 5 years, he fell down that Alt-Right pipeline to the most intense of conspiracy theories and has told me directly how he doesn't believe trans people exist and that our 'delusions' shouldn't be supported. As a closeted trans person, it hurt me greatly and I never understood how tf he could take that turn. This occurrence has also kept me closeted when once I was leaning closer to maybe coming out to family.

      It's the "Liquid" form of "Hall of Cost" denial where you only deny that a group was targeted or the politics of their being targeted specifically. It's one that's already popular with conservatives generally and especially here in the Disunited Violence Monopolies of Vespucci has been in fashion with them for a while because it doesn't give the game away* like the more "Solid" form everyone's already familiar with but you can't get away with in public as easily unless you're already in a dictatorship like Turkey. If you just erase the politics inherent to "Jen O.'s Sides" then you can erase any comparison to your politics and court the "It never happened but also it was totally cool when it happened" crowd to your heart's content, or until you run out of plausible deniability, whichever comes first.
      *See also: Myth about "Knot Seas" being Socialist when they just used the word because it sounded nice to people and then redefined it for their own purposes; other myth about "Knot Seas" being queer after they killed queer people; general erasure of BIPoC peeps, communists, queer people generally but especially trans people as mentioned, AND HOLY FUCKSHITTING HELL EVEN WHEN THOSE PEOPLE ARE ACKNOWLEDGED STILL NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THE FORCED FUCKING EUTHANASIA OF FUCKING DISABLED PEOPLE AND THEN JUST ETHNOCIDING THEM WITH EVERYONE ELSE WHEN THEY GOT CAUGHT AND THESE FUCKERS GOT TARGETED IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY ONE AND STILL GET TREATED LIKE SHIT AND I'M JUST HERE WITH MY GLASSES AND FIFTY DIFFERENT INVISIBLE DISABILITIES WONDERING WHY THE FUCK NOBODY EVEN SEEMS TO HAVE MADE A PODCAST ABOUT THIS!

    Great video, Lily. This reminds me of the book Doppleganger by Naomi Klein, which I'd definitely recommend. She talks about how Naomi Wolf, a former feminist who she happens to get confused with a lot, got sucked into a right wing rabbit hole and ended up buddies with Steve Bannon. In Wolf's case, a main reason she spirals is being opposed to vaccines, especially for covid. I think there are a few gateway issues like this, and transphobia is probably one of the worst of them. Klein brings up the point that some of the right's grievances are real problems, but that their anger is entirely misdirected. In the case of transphobia, many TERFs are women who have experienced real suffering at the hands of men or the patriarchy. J.K. Rowling was abused, for example. But then, rather than calling out the people and systems of power that actually cause the pain, they choose to target a minority that's easier to scapegoat. And once they begin spending time in these parts of the internet and voicing these opinions, they get drawn further and further in.

As I noted elsewhere, Bilek comes out of a strain of primitivist thought which is notoriously hostile towards the disabled, and a lot of more mainstream "concerned parent" trans panic finds its roots in places like Mumsnet, which are notoriously hotbeds for the dreaded Autism Mom subculture. Anecdotally, I've also noticed that when arguing with both trans people and cis people who are normal about trans people, if their interlocutor happens to be autistic, they very quickly get *super* condescending and ableist about that fact where normal reactionaries often aren't.

      Honestly having argued with people like Helen Joyce the most common response is just "define woman" deflection, the second most common answer is an admission that the current existence of disabled people is unfortunate but it's "not their fault" unlike those icky trans people who choose to be difficult. Further pushing often gets them admitting that they want to "cure" all disability, not in a genocidey way (at least not one they'd openly admit to) but in a vague magical thinking way like "science will advance to cure all disability, we'll figure it out".
      And this is imho can be just as evil & dangerous as advocating to outright kill disabled people because it results in ableism such as people wanting to "cure autism" with whatever "medicine" is available to them. The highly abusive ABA conversion therapy practice was developed, used & defended for this very reason, it's a practice that essentially physically and emotionally tortures autistic children to get them to fit into normal society. Which yanno, does what the people who advocate for it want, it mostly traumatises children into behaving how you want them to, they later go on to have PTSD and the more difficult children are written off as unstable forever but hey, problem solved right? For those who don't conform you can just put them away in an institution so it's someone else's private problem.

It might be because your health conditions are made worse by eating meat and dairy. It might be to help reduce your environmental impact. It might be because you are for animal liberation.
      Eggs, honey, and wool are a point of contention (where I would say that for honey and wool they do not even typically cause harm to the animals producing those products, while eggs would necessarily be from free range hens as it is clearly harmful to keep chickens in small cages and overly crowded conditions which is typical). Eggs can be argued to be harmful to the environment or certain kinds of nuts can be damaging or are grown with stressful practices like shipping bees between farms, so someone vegan for the reason of not allowing for animal cruelty or environmental concerns won’t eat almond products while someone vegan for health reasons still might. It’s a huge variety of things… that just… it still doesn’t include meat.

      True, but corporations are run by people and in some cases it really felt like a group within the company pushed in this direction because of ideology, rather than profit. That isn't that out of ordinary, but this time it was on bigger scale, across the economy and sometimes directly against the majority of customers.
      Probably the most visible example is the behaviour of Hollywood studios feom few years ago. Back then it was almost a common occurrence that during interviews with directors and other people making film, someone would say something like: "If people don't like changes we made to the franchise, we don't this 'enter label as insult here' types to watch it anyway." If this would be from people who understand the franchise and just wanted to expand or enrich it, while keeping the spirit of it, it would be probably fine. But to often it ended like a bad fun fic.
      Some of those people certainly had a good intentions in mind, but it really helped everyone screaming the line of "those SJW types are only interested in pushing their ideology, they see this franchises only as a vessel to get their propaganda to the masses".

    It really scares me that so many of these women are in the same generation as I am. And you're very right about the class divide and the fact that they're not trying to appeal to existing feminists, but to 'ahum... normal' people. Since I'm a disabled cis woman it's difficult for me to attend protests. But what I can do is talk to people about trans rights. And I do this often because I've been genuinely worried for a long time.
    What I noticed is that rhetoric gets watered down to make it more palatable for people my age. But I find it much easier to talk to people who are working class because most of them realize trans people don't hold the power. With middle class people this is more difficult because they're in a mind-state that so much has been taken away from them. And many of them are oblivious to power structures and still believe the system is fair and meritocracy is real. This makes them much more inclined to trust the rhetoric that 'insert minority' is taking away the stuff they deserve, without seeing the dangers or realizing this won't make thing better for them.

A lot of know it's the elites, that how they now made it "left versus right" to keep people from realizing it's the elites instead of "eww nazis, eww commies" bullshit. The elites are still in control and still screwing up. The system is fair a lot of people still work hard and make it. The problem is there's too many people not everybody can win and that's why people need to work together instead of constantly being divided by some petty social line that often times don't even define their whole existence.

    What I find funny is that the traditional gender norms aren't even traditional. I'm M'iqmaq, my people have always had a term for trans folks like me and had much looser ideas of sex and gender. My people were doing fine for tens of thousands of years before being colonized and forced to take on the newer western traditions. They're not even traditional to Europe, or our species, or our early hominid ancestors. They're modern human traditions that have only really existed for a while- and only for the lower class, of course. The upper class have always historically given themselves more wiggle room.
    Amazonian warriors were inspired by the Steppe people- the Eurasian warrior women who rode horses and struck fear into the men who fought them.
    Even further back, the majority of early settlements we've found show evidence of both men and women purposefully hunting and working together to kill mammoths.
    Bonobos are our closest animal relative and they're matriarchal. Chimpanzees have both a dominant male and female... Usually. There are documented cases of female chimpanzees becoming the leader of the troop and chasing off males and defending everyone, including her higher ranking male subordinates, from intruders. Acting and being treated the same as any male leader of the troop.

      Funnily enough, not every is "M'iqmaq". (sorry don't know anything about it). I don't have a solid opinion on trans people, but it does make me uncomfortable i have to say. We were colonised by the British, the Anglo Saxons, whatever you want to call them, but we had the same traditions of two genders and obviously no trans people, its not like there was medieval irishmen cutting their cocks off.
      Also, i see your last couple paragraphs which are interesting. The reason why gender roles exist is for a couple reasons, but the main one is that they kinda had to. Men are obviously stronger on average, so they would hunt, while women are more emotionally intelligent and also are able to birth children, breastfeed, and are more suited in general to raising children.
      Honestly, i don't think gender roles will ever go away. Call me sexist, whatever, but the majority of women are attracted to masculine things that men do, providing, raising children, protecting. While men are attracted to feminine things, raising children, taking care of their partner/others/children, etc.
      These aren't inherently male or female things, a woman can do better in many fields than some men, at this point some men are so pathetic that the average woman could probably do better in a physical role despite their initial disadvantage. While a man, can infact, be more intelligent than a woman, despite what some of my former female teachers would have us believe. (although i wont deny women are better at empathy and understanding people).
      Gender roles are inherent to society. We must acknowledge this before moving into a new era. I feel so many are in denial about the fact we are two different genders and we cannot interchange naturally.

      There are many things in our life we find meaning in that are fluid. Sexuality, spirituality, our feelings for one another, our thoughts on a piece of media, science is fluid and changing as we get new information, our language, our taste in music, and our political ideals; what and who you identify with can change throughout your lives. That doesn't make how you feel about any of those things meaningless.
      Your opinion on what makes a thing matter or not is not a universal truth. Our whole natural world is fluid and ever changing, we are fluid, able to adapt and grow and change from day to day and year to year.
      Even sex can be fluid in nature. The number of species who fluidly and naturally change from one SEX to another (sex, not gender) vastly outnumber the species who can't. Our world is full of creatures outside of our strict idea of how the natural world works. Such life forms outdate us and still exist alongside us and will be here long after our species is gone.

    it's a shame because i still consider myself a radical feminist in the original sense of the word. as in, a feminist who seeks to combat patriarchy at the root. and i do believe the concept of gender is incredibly misogynistic AND transphobic and i am a gender abolitionist. but all these people were calling themselves radical feminists and gender abolitionists and in the same breath saying that being born with a vagina means you are a woman and will always be a woman because it's biology. like, what? didn't we already know that "one is not born, but rather becomes a woman"?? didn't we already know that gender is socially constructed and not biologically innate?? as feminists, haven't we been discussing these things for DECADES? how can you call yourself a feminist and still be so attached to this rigid binary that doesn't need to exist?

Is it any different from the idea that gender pervades what people get resources, power, etc. and that gender roles are oppressive?
      Like, I'm guessing it doesn't envision a world where gender isn't a concept that people think about much. As a trans girl, my idea of my gender is an incredibly important part of how I personally think about myself. Gender exists within me in some way or another, or at the very least that's a much more meaningful way to live my life. And I'm sure that's not something you mean to undermine.

I’d never heard of WOLF or Megan (and didn’t know what gender critical was either) so I was really confused when I showed up and there were angry crowds and police officers. I don’t honestly remember much from the event except 1) the protestors in the crowd and 2) the few trans folks who stayed until the end of the event, when people could ask questions and some trans people tried unsuccessfully to appeal to the panelists’ humanity and compassion.
      All of that is to say, I was pretty green in feminist spaces and I think - while some TERFs do genuinely think they’re feminists and like to role play as martyrs - most folks lean into the feminist label for marketing purposes only to spread terf messages to those who aren’t super into theory and / or don’t know trans people in real life. I think as a result of that I had to unlearn a lot of transphobia that had been spoonfed to me by these gender critical / radical feminist under the guise of genuine concern.
      I’m not really sure where I was going with that comment, except to thank you for being present at that event. I’m sure it was deeply uncomfortable for you, but I just wanted to say that there was at least one person attending eventually saw through the b.s. and your protest was part of that process.

      It may tell you something of your political standing when a city like Seattle is too right wing for you. Sounds like really don't have the perspective required to gauge a political spectrum position as you are sitting on the distant left of Karl Marx end.

    "Drain on resources...." What?! I'm American, EVERYTHING I've gotten for my transition care has come out of my pocket. Non-subsidized, not covered by insurance. After completing all my medical goals. Do you want to know what my monthly cost for my care is? 60$. That's for the out of pocket cost for my hormone therapy. The same hormone therapy any woman takes that doesn't need birth control. Which really leaves guessing it really isn't about trans people at all.

    This happened during the 1980s; see Ed Meese and Andrea Dworkin. When I was on the faculty of FSU and therefore had access to great original sources, during the late 1980s and early 1990s I did research into women's movements back to the printing press. I found that (1) this same cycle happens every four decades or so, and (2) nobody ever seems to learn from the last cycle to prevent it from happening the next time. So it goes.

      See also the split in the suffragette movement after gaining the vote between those who saw the vote alone as insufficient to women's liberation and became increasingly radicalised against capital and the state (e.g. Sylvia Pankhurst) and those who saw the vote as an opportunity to maintain power within a patriarchal imperial system and became increasingly sympathetic with fascism (e.g. the Mitford sisters).

      Truth there. Goddess help me but I studied the Witch Hunts of Eaely Modern Europe and America and I get very scared when I see and hear the same arguments being used against women now almost word for word. Somehow I do doubt that NFL stars have spent much time reading 500 year old manuals for gynecide, but change "thee" and "thou" for you and it is the same hate and fear and insecurity. Sadly I no longer have the access to those texts...
