Showing Original Post only (View all)Is hating men THIS MUCH healthy? [View all]
http://radfemcentral.wordpress.com/2013/01/19/the-power-of-female-rage/This blog is true hate speech and the transphobia and naked hatred of them is shocking. Is hatred of men the real issue behind this or is it something else?
For all the accusation of woman-hating, do you think there are men that fly off the handle this much against woman who become men like Chastity Bono?
--------------------------------------------------
Yesterday Janet Mock of People Magazine, (he of Girls Like Us fame), decided to start a campaign against my blog. Early Friday morning (before my Suzanne Moore Tweet post) I became aware of a censorship campaign against GenderTrender, and all wordpress radical feminist blogs. There have been a million of these campaigns, but Mock is a very powerful man.
Mock initially became enraged when he read my post (Number 4 above) and saw a photo of himself, and misgendering (because it mentioned that he was male) and decided that women have no right to discuss or post photos of public figures on feminist blogs. Instead of filing a complaint with wordpress or messaging me with his demands (or just shutting the fuck up) he started a twitter campaign to ban my blog which was quickly seized by trans activists smelling blood in the water following their successful censorship of Burchill and success in driving Suzanne Moore off of twitter. All the usual suspects came on board within minutes: Hetero female fag Stephen Ira, Lefty TGirl inventor of the ladystick Savanna Garmon, Transfeminist Natalie Die cis scum Reed and all the rest. NO DISCUSSION of TRANS ACTIVISM by WOMEN they railed. GAG THESE BITCHES.
This is the picture Gay Male Janet Mock complained about
When I did not notice Mocks campaign (because I never check my tweets and I was sleeping) he engaged his pals to post news articles complaining about wordpress.coms hosting of gender critical and trans-critical blogs. The proposed banning of all female voices re: politics relating to gender, especially mine. I took action when I became aware of Mocks campaign, specifically his charge that the public news-site photo I had used was off limits. To placate his male rage I replaced that pic with an alternate screen cap from another (NBC) appearance, and I kindly tweeted him that I had resolved his photo issue. Seriously, these guys literally think they can lobby on the national news and women have no right to discuss it. HOW DARE IT SPEAK???

Thanks for clarifying. The details on that particular story have been telephoned, for sure-

Yes, there are a group of feminists who get unhinged about trans people, for reasons outlined here.

Nonsense. I don't know a single feminist in real life who would have anything to do with this.

Most *actual* feminists I know in real life are completely pro LGBT rights, for instance.

It's either extremely irrational or a false flag designed to divide progressives.

I just don't think it's big or influential enough to be a false flag.

Very good points. I had never heard of this "radfem" movement either and I'm old as dirt.

It's not a contest. Hate is hate, and it should all be roundly condemned.

Part of it is, I think the mainstream "Feminist Community" doesn't give a shit about the extremists.
