trans ideology is so attractive for young women who feel out of place & have no sense of belonging. it is so predatory, so vicious. when you are cut off from female tradition, female spirituality, female history, and you've been surrounded by stories of male dominance all your life, it is very enticing to be told that you can adopt the male tradition and become part of that group, assume that group's history and mythology just by claiming it as your own. assert your humanity via espousing the status quo. but trans ideology does not tell you that there is a huge and painful price to pay for women who accept the premise of male supremacy in this way. that to be complicit in denying your own history, denying your own reality, and the reality of others like you, will slowly but surely kill you. it will drain you mentally, it will drain you spiritually, intellectually, and eventually, physically, too. trans ideology is another form of men taking, taking, taking from women and never giving. you will give and give your whole life away to a cause which is actively contemptuous of you, your body, your life, your humanity. and you will wonder why you are so tired, so angry, so empty inside. why you feel as if you have nothing left to give, when you didn't realize what you were giving away in the first place. you gave up all your energy, your creative forces, to a vampiric male supremacist tradition, who stole your life force out from under your nose as you gave them permission to do it. it is so insidious, it is so cold, so profoundly evil.
when I finally awoke from the spell, the sense of violation that I felt was immense. the sense of betrayal, crushing. quite literally. I felt like a squashed bug under somebody's shoe, I could not stop shaking, I couldn't leave my apartment, I couldn't eat. I could barely walk. for weeks and weeks I felt like I just could not get clean. like my life had been stolen from me. my creativity, my intellect, had been captured and turned against me and all women. everything which made me Me, every aspect of my Self had been captured and exploited by males in order to perpetuate male supremacy, my own subordination. and the worst part was realizing that they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew precisely how vulnerable I was. I had been manipulated so smoothly, so maliciously seduced into giving myself up to a cause which openly despises people like me -- openly despises women, the female body. when I realized this, I had a feeling of such horror and powerlessness like I had never known. the way I understand myself and my life and the world changed on a fundamental level that day and I have never been the same. I think it is hard to understand how it feels to have this happen to you, if it has not happened to you. and when I see women on here who ridicule and degrade even further women who have been seduced by this ideology, I am disgusted -- I only feel an aching, a sickness deep in my bones for my sisters who have been violated, spiritually annihilated in this way, too.
