Radical Feminists in the United States are so enraged at TransDemocratic Party activists for endangering women’s rights and censoring women’s voices, that some of them are considering the unthinkable: voting for Republicans for the first time in their lives.
The only political party defending girl athletes’ Title IX equal rights in Connecticut is the GOP. Whereas the TransDemocratic Party celebrated male-bodied athletes for stealing girls’ track championships and college scholarships, the Trump Administration chose instead to enforce Title IX law on behalf of girl athletes suing their misogynistic athletic association. Amazingly, only Republicans see the women’s liberation movement gains of the 1970’s as status quo, defensible, settled law.
The TransDemocratic Party by contrast is pushing the misogynist envelope now.
(As the proud bearers of the misogynistic Trans Activist legislative agenda, surely they won’t object to my prefixing a “scarlet letter” T to their party name.)
California’s governor just signed a law mandating that convicted criminals who merely declare they feel like a woman now get to be assigned to target-rich womens prisons – and screw (literally) any “transphobic” women prisoners who object to a convicted rapist housed in the same cell with her. Shamefully, all the historic womens rights organizations are aligned with the TransDemocratic Party on the new misogyny.
There has not been such a reversal in party alignment on a civil rights issue since the Nixon Campaign’s racist ‘southern strategy’ turned many KKK Dixicrats into southern Republicans, despite their objections to the “Party of Lincoln” having installed black representatives in southern state legislatures during post Civil War Reconstruction.
Women’s rights are not the only fault line opened up by this reversal. Gays and Lesbians are objecting to dispensing puberty blockers to effeminate boys and tomboy girls. For defending children’s rights to grow up gay or lesbian, their voices too are being censored as “transphobic” by the TransDemocratic Party. Lesbian voices are regularly shouted down by the woke warriors at Gay Pride parades.
Those with Autistic Spectrum Condition and their families are also noticing the unusually high percentage of their number being subjected to sex change social coercion happening in schools and online. They are alarmed by the claims by some in the industry that a sex change may even ‘cure autism’. But there too, historic autistic rights organizations are nevertheless aligned with the TransDemocratic Party in silencing the objections of women with autism who dare to speak for themselves.
Mothers shocked by the sexual grooming of their children in library drag queen story time and by the unauthorized secretive renaming of their children by schools are likewise alarmed at the TransDemocratic Party -aligned librarians and teacher organizations’ unwillingness to listen to their objections.
Statutes of limitation have been altered to protect sex change surgeons and hormone prescribers from subsequent patient lawsuits. Insurance companies pay for sex changes but not for reverse treatment. And now that many twenty-somethings are experiencing regret and desisting in the gender change they were rushed to embrace as minors, they have little recourse.
Where is all this disaffection with TransDemocrats leading? Will the political realignment on women’s sex-based rights between the two major parties impact elections in the US?
The similar stark partisan difference affected the recent election and its policy aftermath in the U.K. There, it was the TransLabour Party loudly declaring support for (already) transed policies in schools and in the National Health System. Jeremy Corbyn was their woke warrior candidate for Prime Minister. What happened to him?
Outraged mothers showed up to defeat the TransLabor Party, (falsified antisemitic slurs notwithstanding), that’s what happened to him. Since then, the woke UK government agencies have been pedaling backwards, changing back definitions to their original meanings, deleting outrageous inaccurate health claims from NHS websites, and disassociating from misogynist consultant organizations which had stealthily infiltrated government institutions to impose the unpopular, unjust policies.
And to drive home the point:
There are an increasing number of women who have been speaking out online and who were then fired from their jobs as punishment by TransDemocratic Party -aligned employers, repeatedly mischaracterizing their feminism as TransPhobia. Women are also banned from some social media sites for speaking against the eradication of the very words woman and female from public utterance.
There are medical and psychiatric professionals whose TransDemocratic Party -aligned state license boards had falsely accused them of conducting “transphobic” conversion therapy for simply not rushing the TransDemocratic Party -approved “gender-affirming” political approach and all the (lucrative) hormonal and surgical prescriptions which follow it.
Because of all these misogynistic injustices, many former women allies of the Trans Activist movement are becoming “peak-transed” into opposing the TransDemocrats as long as they continue to out-mysogynize the religious right.
While this appears to be pausing to stop Republican Party attempts to overturn Roe, women still do have Roe. But women no longer have Title IX; women no longer have affirmative action; women no longer have women-only domestic violence shelters; women no longer have any public space protection from rape.
These losses are due solely to the TransDemocratic Party. A vote for them is a vote for continuing down this extremely misogynistic path.
What can be done about this?
Republican voters concerned about the extremist Trans lobby will be voting for Trump, along with some of the aforementioned radical feminists.
TransDemocratic Party -aligned voters who are happy with the party’s Trans lobbying will show up for Biden.
What about trans-peaked voters on the left?
There is a third option: to join the election boycotters.
If feminist voters are trans-peaked, but cannot bear to vote for Trump, they can “withhold their consent” in order to send the TransDemocratic Party a strong message: do not take the votes of women and gays for granted!
An election is the only accountability moment. Women must not fantasize that we can hold the TransDemocratic Party accountable between elections after having voted for them. Their betrayals need electoral consequences. A boycott by their own party membership is a consequence they greatly fear. It is the only consequence that can change the party leadership’s alliance with the misogynist extremists.
British mothers defeated Corbyn and the TransLabour Party, a defeat which is already leading to curtailing transideological policies oppressing women and girls in the U.K. American women of both political parties must likewise turn the US elections into a gender war: Americans must “Corbyn” the extremist TransDemocratic Party.
Whose side are you on?
Helen Loughrey is a social worker, permaculturist, election boycotter, wife, mother, poet, and marxist feminist.
Anyone who voted for Trump is not a radical feminist. Radical feminism includes womyn of colour, and it’s not acceptable to throw them under the bus while claiming “radical” politics. The Trump administration has and is fostering fascism and racial violence by white supremacists.
Single-issue voting is foolish and helps no one. Womyn need to stop voting out of fear and start voting for what they WANT. No one ever got anything positive by looking continually at the negative and fearing it. We have to take the time to envision the beautiful future we want and select the candidates that can help get us there or we will never create positive change through voting. “The lesser of two evils” gets us more evil, never any good.
For those interested in boosting third parties, working towards the National Popular Vote may be a step in the right direction. NPV would establish a plurality system (whoever gets the most votes wins, even if “the most” is a number less than 50%). The next logical step is to bring in run-off elections, which benefit third parties (that’s not currently part of the NPV movement, but changing to a plurality system would get us one step closer to run-offs). Under a NPV, neither Bush Jr. nor Trump would have taken office.
P.S. I suppose I should mention that NPV is not a pie-in-the-sky idea. It’s making serious headway in the states, and my own state just voted in favour of it. It currently has 196 electoral votes of the 270 needed to take effect.
