A call to all trans activists to publicly disavow Andi Dier over her verbal attack of Rose McGowan

Rose McGowan is not Transphobic. She reacted to verbal abuse. And she deserves an apology.

“TRANS SISTERS, PLEASE LISTEN: Do you realize how detrimental it is to trans women everywhere when you imprint the idea that we are violent, that we attack cis women, that we invade and overwhelm a female speaker in a manner UNCOMFORTABLY SIMILAR to the way this woman -an abuse survivor- has been overwhelmed and intimidated by MEN??

Do you realize that the Weinstein rep used this incident against McGowan, to trash-talk her in the media? ARE YOU GETTING THIS? Andi Dier caused an incident that benefited Harvey Winstein’s PR, and caused the most vocal of Weinstein’s accusers to cancel her book tour. Do you understand? A trans woman just helped one of the most toxic sexual predators of our time, *attacked the victim*, causing her to lose her composure while on stage, caused her to be so shaken that she cancelled further appearances.

There is an old expression, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Dier did not prove herself to be a friend of the #MeToo movement, or a friend of victims of sexual abuse. By default, by RESULT, she proved herself to be a friend of Harvey Fucking Weinstein. LET THAT SINK IN. ”

At least there are actually TIMs who disagree with TRAs defending Dier and have some sort of touch with reality and an ounce of empathy. Notice though how important it is to note that Rose McGowan is not a “terf”. But at least it’s a step in the right direction…

Long post, I apologize, but I saw this and I am stunned.

[australian-red-cedar]

there’s no point appealing to their compassion. they have none.

[eve-made-the-right-choice]

Like, he realizes how serious it is. He knows. He just doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about being complicit in someone else’s suffering, as long as the person who’s suffering is a woman he can jerk off to.

This is what hatred looks like.

[hungry-skin-vacant-meat]

There’s something more Insidious than hatred at work in the rapists mind especially when they rape children or Advocate the sexualization and therefore rape of children; apathy. Men evolve their hatred of women and girls into dangerous nefarious apathy. This state of constant apathy allows them to commit monstrous inhuman acts, all seeded from their desire their depravity and their darkest secret selves. I truly believe that the Ascension from hatred into apathy creates the evil in man. It is all consciousness. A man’s body is not a rapist. it is his mind and his Consciousness that which contains who he is that decides to be a rapist, he makes a conscious decision to be a rapist and promoting rape is as Insidious and effective as rape itself. That is what evil is.

[vanillagloss]

if you need another reason to hate rose mcgowan and her exclusionary, white feminism here it is

[visibilityofcolor]

I couldn’t even watch the whole thing…

[charlie-mckinnon-blog1]

She just says “enough”… like bitch htf can you say that and not think “shit, I’m silencing someone.”

[parttimepup]

Because this event is her book signing and it’s about her book. Surprise: She’s allowed to focus on women and women’s issues. Trying to publicly shame her into caring about trans identified males will not get you the reaction you wanted.

[fastwalker]

what about this is supposed to be “proof she’s evil” or whatever??? that pink haired dude just keeps screaming how she doesn’t care about him ~personally~ she says she does and it sends him into an even bigger male rage tantrum??? like is op insane? did we watch the same video?

btw I have no idea who either of them are and why they’re supposed to be *~problematique~*

[notcisjustwoman]

dudes gonna dude.

[rad-femmes]

She gets more awesome every time I see her.

Oh if anyone wants a laugh just check the notes to see all the “good” feminists calling her a b*tch.

[rad-femmes]

Most, if not all, of women’s issues do not apply to trans women.

Most, if not all, trans women do not pass as female.

Trans women are not victimized for “being women” - they are victimized for being trans.

Female reproductive health issues apply to “cis” women and trans men, not to trans women.

Trans women will not suffer heavy consequences if Planned Parenthood is defunded by the federal government.

Trans women do not suffer the effects of culturally-upheld menstrual taboos, government-funded forced sterilizations, or insufficient medical knowledge of their reproductive health.

Crying “what about me” and feeling left out when female individuals discuss issues specific to their anatomy is male entitlement.

Silencing people from talking about their female reality is misogyny.

[justiceofficial]

A combination of women’s issues and trans issues are focused on trans women in every way, including biological (if you develop boobs, you’ll need access to bras - if you pass as female, you’re facing the same discrimination as any other woman, except for reproductive rights).

The generalization that most trans women don’t pass doesn’t mean they don’t experience oppression for both being a woman and being trans, especially by TERFs who will treat them like men in dresses and deny them the fact that they do experience misogyny that is separate from being trans in that trans men are less likely to experience violence and rejection than their trans sisters because masculinity, even in terms of expression and gender, is still more valuable than femininity and therefore they experience violence for being women.

Trans women can be on hormones that make them develop boobs, which is a secondary sex trait that then can create health issues like breast cancer and fibrocystic breasts which are worse in some cases than the same issue with cis women because most trans women will be raised and therefore socialized and educated as men, leaving them less educated on how to identify and handle these health issues, not to mention trans women are statistically less likely to be hired and therefore are less likely to afford the care they would need.

Trans women will suffer from defunded Planned Parenthood because Planned Parenthood offers HRT services that will allow trans women to have safety in passing and overall better mental health due to transitioning. 

Trans women do suffer from total lack of recognition from the government about everything from the fact that it’s still illegal for them to go to the bathroom to it costing hundreds (if we’re counting fully transitioning, thousands) of dollars just to have your name and gender legally documented.

Your first response to trans women being in feminist forums being that trans women don’t experience similar - if not worse - oppression than cis women and therefore they don’t belong in said forums is one of many that makes for a divided feminist community where we could tackle overlapping issues that oppress women from both angles, keeping Planned Parenthood being one of them.

Assuming that trans women wanting rights to feminist spaces where they belong is silencing cis feminists is exactly the issue I’m trying to tackle.

[rad-femmes]

I understand that you legitimately think trans women suffer greater at the hands of oppression than women, but you should really try not to argue form that viewpoint 1. because it’s false and 2. because it makes you sound like a liar.  Which is why all I could think about reading your response is that bolding something doesn’t emphasize your points in any meaningful way, citing does.  So could you provide sources for the claims that 

trans men experience less violence and rejection than trans women breast cancer in trans women is worse than in actual women trans women are statistically less hired than who? Be specific, the answer “cis women” will not be accepted, you have to show me stats where trans women are less likely to be hired than black women, latina women, native women, immigrant women, prostituted women, etc.

It is not illegal for trans women to use the bathroom, it is illegal for males to utilize public female restrooms and that’s not even true in a lot of places.

Radical feminists who focus their activism on fighting sex based oppression are not oppressing trans women.  People acknowledging your sex is not oppression.  Hurt feelings and dysphoria are not oppression.  

[obamawhitehouse]

This is one dance party 106-year-old Virginia McLaurin will never forget. To celebrate Black History Month, watch her fulfill her dream of visiting the White House and meeting President Obama.

[rad-femmes]

"white women voted for trump" but what about asian women\men, black men\women?

what

[rad-femmes]

kill yourself terf scum. You are not and never will be a feminist. You're reactionary scum that helps the oppression of all women. Eat shit and die.

Sometimes I wonder about the anime nerds that sit down and actually send these, and then I remember I have a life and go do actual activism.

[weavemama]

It’s been one year since this iconic photo was taken. NEVER FORGET

[sunbutch]

I just taught a pretty girl how to use a vending machine and I'm gonna die

there’s no way this girl didn’t know how to use a vending machine. she thought you were cute, formed a game plan, and fucking executed it. i’m proud of her

[sunbutch]

tag yourself are you the girl pretending not to know how to use a vending machine because she’s gay and useless or the girl who genuinely believed it because she’s gay and useless

[honeybottledrip]

i want to protect every young girl in the world being wrongly sexualized and forced to grow up way too fast

[sespursongles-deactivated201906]

The 13-year-old girl from Stranger Things:

Her 15-year-old male costar:

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

JFC why can’t they leave that poor girl alone???

[naomielizabeth96]

What’s sexual about this? @sespursongles

[cecaeliawitch]

Gee i dunno, maybe the way they had her spread her legs and make an o-face???

[bitter-badfem-harpy]

She has to pose, he gets to play

[theradicalresistance]

Asking “what’s sexual about this” is almost insidous. Sure, she’s not naked and she’s not performing any sexual acts, but that’s not what sexualization necessarily means. The girl-child is looking longinly, languishingly into the camera. She has her legs in a short dress spread, her lips separated, and very much make-up making her look older. She is passive, for the camera/viewer, while the boy is active, joking, playing, relaxed and as a child, respected as a child. I’m sure someone might say, “but that’s you sexualizing her, with your gaze” but come on, who are we kidding here? We know the industry sexualizes young girls, we know this isn’t a coinscidence. We know this is the pattern, the model for woman according to the male gaze or woman performing for the male gaze, and we know she is 13 and that everyone knows she is. And we know this destroys girls.

[radredrecluse]

she’s. wearing. heels.

that’s sexual enough for me.

[hoeflo-deactivated20180428]

The person who asked “what’s sexual about this” is a fucking ‘map ally’. Bih fuck off.

[traptacular-deactivated20180125]

thank you anderson cooper 🇭🇹

[weavemama]

anyway black women are having miscarriages in Flint and there has yet to be an outrage from the “pro-life” community

[ddestr0yedd-deactivated20180403]

can we call this a genocide yet?

[weavemama]

keep in mind this is a MAN-MADE health crisis. they changed the water of a lower-income black community for a reason. 12 people have died so far because of the water and now the women are suffering from miscarriages. this story needs as much attention as possible. a black community is still being poisoned and pro-lifers don’t seem to give a shit

[rad-bad-and-dangerous-to-know]

I am so tired of men using consent language about things other than sex. “I didn’t consent to having a child, so I shouldn’t have to pay child support.” Sorry bud it doesn’t work like that. I didn’t consent to being hit by a car but I still have medical bills.

[anti-transphobia]

This post was made by a terf so how about we all just not reblog it

[misandwy-deactivated20220414]

im so glad virtue signaling is more important to you than spreading important info on a fucking prostitution ring. check your priorities dumbass

[rad-femmes]

If anyone’s interested in spreading this horrifying story and simultaneously blocking a misogynist luckily butterdumbass up there just outed themselves in this reblog
