A Transphobic Transperson? How Does That Even Work?

*Ahem*

So this PM comes courtesy of a person who, unlike most of you here on FB, I have met in real life and knew personally. Let me regail you:

When Your Hole Is Full

So today I got gatvol. South Africans will know what that means - it means "your hole is full".

Yeah, I'm really angry about this.

I call this one: "Alright, I'll Fucking Do It, Then!"

What's this about? This morning I emailed a five page, properly formatted complaint with a dozen references and attachments to the SAHRC.

Devilsdorp - An Objective Review From A Truth-telling Perspective

Last night, as an "assignment" to aid in formulating the outline of content for my upcoming doctoral thesis for next year, I watched all 4 episodes of "Devilsdorp", and took notes. I found it a very interesting show. Here are my thoughts in brief:

A Response To Helen Zille's "The 'Trans' Debate Revisited"

On 23 April, Helen Zille made a social media post in which she doubled-down on her transphobic stance, chillingly throwing in the word "contagion" numerous times for good measure. Like transgender people are some sort of "disease" that spreads and endangers feminism - and society. Unlike TERFdom of course, whose apparent purpose is to "defend women's spaces" and "feminist gains" over the past century. (Insert eye-roll here).

First I'll repost her statement, and then address it beneath that. Be ready for a long read. And yes, have a "trigger warning" - and another, while you're at it. The last time I was this upset by reading material, it was when I reviewed "The Pink Agenda" and almost ripped the book in half. This cringeworthy post by a leading figure within South Africa's second-largest political party should set off an avalanche of outrage in anyone who doesn't have a zipper running down the backs of their human suits. It should beg the questions: 1) How did we not notice Zille's lurch toward far-right extremism before now? 2) What does her shift into the realm of red-hat-wearing conspiracy theory and hatemongering populism mean for the Democratic Alliance and its traditional base of liberal, "woke" supporters?

Decide for yourself.
