  • Why do TERFs think the way they do? The history of TERFs goes way back before JK Rowling. In the 1980s TERF Janice Raymond ran a successful campaign to push Sandy Stone out of Olivia Records.

    Emma: I want to move to other examples just before we run out of time. because some of these are really great including Janice Raymond and sandy stone. on and this is applicable to the current day in discussions of TERFs and JK Rowling is the most obvious example but this is very applicable for modern feminist discourse here. Tell us a little bit about those two feminists and what honestly it says about modern-day feminist discourse around trans women.
    Schuller: yeah it was really important to me to show how that the logic of anti-trans feminists. you know who argues that transgender are not women is actually part of white feminism. even though it's less obvious. because we most often think of white feminism in terms of its racism. but there is subliminal racism in the position of TERFs. and so I look at especially the role of a trans musician and sound engineer and activist sandy stone who was part of a really important collective a lesbian recording artist collective that sold hundreds of thousands of records in the 1970s and 80s called Olivia records. and then Janice Raymond who is an academic and author of probably the most important TERF book called the transsexual empire. who supported a campaign to Sandy Stone the trans woman out of Olivia's records in the 70s. It was a successful campaign. and we you know we often talk about and recognize that anti-trans feminists are what we call biological essentialists. right they say sex is real. you're born sex. It's very tidy and clear and it can never change. right biology is destiny is there is that kind of logic. which flies in the face of research that shows that anything up to two percent of births is intersex to some degree. right but it's an insistence that biology is extremely tidy and sex is always straightforward and set in stone. That is that and that it was absolutely true that TERFs are biological essentialists. But Turks have also experienced essentialists. and What I mean by that is that they say a trans woman can't be a woman also because she didn't have the experience of being a woman growing up. she didn't have the universal experience of menstruation or the universal experience of sexual harassment or any of the other elements of being in a female body. The problem is there is no such thing as that universal female experience right? and this is one of the points that Audrey Lord has made over and over again in her lifetime, right? like black women have five times the rate of many breast cancer of sexual assault and abuse right? one of the things that Harriet jacobs was was illuminates versus Harriet Beecher Stowe is that you know in the 1860s what is the position of being a woman. if you're Harriet jacobs you might be hiding in an attic for seven years. if you're an enslaved black woman being abused by your own slaver if you're a white woman you might have a completely different set of experiences.

    The fact that intersex people exist does not invalidate the basic fact that sex in humans is binary, male-female. Anomalous exceptions do not affect the clear overall pattern. Also, it has nothing to do with race, absolutely nothing. You're bringing up all sorts of irrelevant things, the sexing of mammals is usually pretty straightforward; do they produce sperm or eggs? It's not biologically essentialist to state that male animals produce sperm, and female animals produce eggs.. It's called a statement of fact.

      You're right it is a fact; a biological SEXUAL chromosomal fact.
      Back when people thought the Sun orbitted the Earth - and people stoned gays: SEX and GENDER meant the same thing. Until now.
      SEX: biological, chromosomal (trans do no contest this - they are aware of this every day they wake up)
      GENDER: societal (this is where the real battleground is . this is the arena TERFs try to muddy)

      Binary by definition means one or the other. The existence of exceptions *by definition* very much does invalidate what you claim as "basic fact".
      Now I'm sure what you mean to say is that MOST people do tend to fall into the "male" or "female" categories of sex pretty cleanly, and that's true. But it's very much not all. There are about as many intersex people as there are redheads - are we going to start claiming you can ONLY be blonde or brunette, and "redheads are just an anomaly that don't count as a hair color people can have"?
      Oh and if biological sex was strictly based on gametes, guess what? I wouldn't be female OR male, because I don't produce eggs or sperm. Yet, fancy that, I was assigned female at birth! Because sexual biology consists of a BUNCH of different properties, some of which can be changed and others which can't. And the very fact that some CAN be changed, and that trans and intersex people can very much exist with a mix of properties from each of the two typical categories, completely flies in the face of biological essentialism.

      “He had his failures you know. Penny Hiskett, she got away from him and gave the police a description in ’71, but that didn’t help them much. She said he was dark and stocky, because he was wearing a wig at the time and all padded out in a woman’s coat. They caught him in the end because of Melody Bower. Nightclub singer, looked like Diana Ross. Creed got chatting to her at the bus stop, offered her a lift, then tried to drag her into the van when she said no. She escaped, gave the police a proper description and told them he’d said his house was of Paradise Park.”

    One of the problems, according to the speaker, is that "TERFS" "often position men as oppressors." Well, feminism is the political movement battling against male supremacy and male violence, so yes, men are the oppressors that feminists are fighting. (Of course this doesn't mean all men.) You can easily tell that this woman is not a feminist when she dismisses violence against (cisgender?) women toward the end of the video, arguing that we should not play the Oppression Olympics. Is she completely unaware of the data that show that domestic violence, rape, and femicide are at pandemic levels? Finally, not a single "TERF" or radical feminist is a biological essentialist who believes that biology is destiny.
    Imagine applying some of this "logic" to the question of race... She would say, "Well, the problem with anti-racist activism is that it often positions white people as oppressors..." SMDH.

    • @Jim-lr1zg
      @Jim-lr1zg Před 2 lety +1

      @Cornelia TERfs absolutely do NOT believe that sex and gender are the same. They believe that sex is a biological category that is useful in explaining human reproduction and that gender is the set of social roles imposed on sexed individuals (e.g., men are tough and rational; women are submissive and emotional, etc.). TERFs are anti-essentialist because they critique and challenge gender. They argue that because gender is a social construct and therefore not "real" like biological sex is (for about 99% of the population), women can reject traditional gender roles; in other words, biology is not destiny.
      The main difference between TERFs and trans activists is about whether sex or gender should be used to distinguish between men and women. TERFs choose sex in this debate. For TERFs, sex is an important category because males are generally stronger than females and males are almost exclusively the perpetrators of violence against women. For these reasons, TERFs want to "exclude" transwomen from certain spaces and categories in order to protect females. However, TERFs are not asking to specifically exclude transwomen only; instead, they're asking to exclude all males. Personally, I don't really care too much about bathrooms, but I do not think transwomen should be housed in women's prisons, nor do I think they should be able to compete in women's sports.

They Embrace an extreme femininity usually over-the-top with hair and makeup. Not all women wear hair and makeup like that. Many radical feminists are not trans exclusive at all.

    'Terfs' (that words is considered a slur) believe being a woman is predicated on their unique physiology, distinct from men, predicated on the female reproductive system based around the production of large immobile gametes. They believe female persecution is based on those physical differences. That is the basis of their beliefs. It is an internally consistent logic wholly distinct from being unable to define what a woman is, or defining it in such a way that anyone who identifies as a woman is a woman (thereby eliminating the category as a useful demarcation).

They just want to live their authentic selves. crossdressing and gender identification are completely different things as well. Crossdressing is a fetish. They are sexually aroused dressing as women.

They don't go back to being men and dressing like men after the sexual act is done. They live as women 24/7 whether they're having sex or not.

    Although you are correct that transwomen have existed before JK Rowling's infamous statements, I do not think that you are playing fair in this interview. I cannot comment on what Olivia Records did back in the day, but here are a few things I know for sure:
    1)There is nothing transphobic about what JK Rowling wrote. Don't believe me? Go and read what she wrote on the topic for yourself. People who decry her so-called transphobic comments have a zero-sum approach to life--and cannot bear to admit that biological women actually do have valid concerns about the very aggressive and rapid erasure of women's rights in the name of inclusion. All you have to do is label biological women who speak up TERFs, and everyone knows that it then is no longer necessary to respect any of their concerns.
    2) Why do we have to choose between the rights of transwomen and biological women in the first place? Who is keeping that false dichotomy going?
    3) You may think that you are being very radical, and finally articulating the death blow to anyone who questions some of the tenets of trans activism--by making a distinction between white feminists and Black feminists-- but you are actually being disingenuous and/or short-sighted. Look around You Tube and you will find Black women who are also very concerned about what is happening to women's rights today. Some go as far as pointing out the inherent racism and colonialism in much of today's discourse regarding the controversy. Don't just take my word for it; do your own research.
    4) We should by all means protect the rights of the trans community, but the rights of the trans community should not supersede the rights of women and girls.

Why not allow someone like Kathleen Stock, Abigail Shrier, or Exulansic (who is ex-trans) to present the other side of the argument?

    Sex and gender don't vary independently (for about 99.6% they correspond) and even if we agreed that there's a spectrum, there's no equal distribution across the spectrum.
    All trans identities are not equally valid. I tend to be courteous and treat everyone as the gender they want to identify with, other than the obvious autogynephiles (go ahead, enjoy your fetish, but I'm not going to participate in it) and the enbies, which is a fashion trend and a bad cope for several different mental conditions for which gender ambivalence happens to be a possible symptom. There is way more uniformity among those gender non-conformists than among men and women respectively and pronouns are grammatical devices, not nicknames and coming up with an ever-expanding list thereof kinda defeats the purpose.

That sounds VERY specific to the trans experience, so I'm not certain why it's such a sticking point for bio women to claim experiences which are distinctly foreign. We should respect trans women's right to share their experience, exist, transition, thrive... BUT...it violates bio women's rights to ignore that the two groups are very different.

      I don't believe you. I think 99.999% of the time parents don't want their child to be trans and actively resist the idea. I think almost all cases that are posed as "a boy likes pink quick tell them they're a girl" is a reactionary response to someone not actively trying to turn a trans child into a cis one.
      A question, do you see any similarity between the idea that "trans ideology" is turning kids trans and "the gay agenda" where someone is trying to make your kids gay and and in both cases you must enforce rigid gender stereotypes to "fix it" (the child's gender or sexuality)?
      Do you like rigid traditional gender roles for everyone that are enforced using patriarchal structures?

      What you mean is that a couple of randos on Twitter called Adele a TERF and therefore the whole idea of a TERF must be false. People have been called racist for all sorts of nonsense too, but that doesn't mean that actual racism doesn't exist.
      A common definition of TERF is a feminist who excludes trans women from their fight for women's rights. Adele saying she likes being a woman is nothing to do with that, so of course she isn't a TERF (at least, she's not a TERF because she said what she said, I cannot read her mind). But if you meet the above definition, like JK Rowling for example, then you would be a TERF and are harmful in the fight for equality and minority rights. This is all.

It was specifically tested for and invalidated. So the book is based at its core on disproved drivel.
      I have an ongoing transgender education series on my channel. I will deal specifically with ROGD and how it was dismantled by a team of scientists in a peer-reviewed systematic report, as well as the massive issues with the initial ROGD hypothesis report That's in part five of (upcoming).
