5. That was a beautiful rebuttal to "1970's transphobic ideology"

"I will not evacuate Feminism to let you and your group of haters take it over to promote your antiTrans ideology. Like bell hooks always said "feminism is for everybody". The sooner you embrace that reality, the sooner we can end the in-fighting and join together to usher in a real gender revolution. Goodbye Sheila!"

Haters like Sheila Jeffreys and Janice Raymond need to be tossed in the dustbin of history. They're dishonest, transphobic bigots who use feminist rhetoric to justify their transphobia. How could anyone take such sick, deranged paranoia seriously?

All transsexuals rape women’s bodies by reducing the real female form to an artefact, and appropriating this body for themselves. [...] Transsexuals merely cut off the most obvious means of invading women, so that they seem non-invasive.

The transsexually constructed lesbian-feminist feeds off woman’s true energy source, i.e. her woman-identified self. It is he who recognises that if female spirit, mind, creativity and sexuality exist anywhere in a powerful way it is here, among lesbian-feminists.

I contend that the problem with transsexualism would best be served by morally mandating it out of existence.
