Transactivism
10th August 2025
To gender-critical feminists, the social contagion of transactivism (enforced mainstreaming of trans ideology) is all down to perverted men and their “misogyny.” Men started it; men must stop it. It’s a (white) male supremacist, men’s rights movement, privileging the reality show of ‘gender’ over the reality of sex, while normalising paedophilia, porn, prostitution or their variants. Women have nothing to do with it. After all, misogyny is what’s done to—not by—women.
Rightly, these women denounce transactivism. But framing it as ‘woman-hating’ disingenuously classes women as nothing but victims, men as the only villains. It lets women off the hook, projects them as helpless, without agency in ‘a man’s world.’ It glosses over women’s complicity in co-shaping this contagion, making it harder to undo or prevent harm to billions of ordinary women who wanted nothing to do with the virtue-signalling of influential women. Without so much as an apology from the latter, it’s the former who are paying the price: forfeiting friends, family, and jobs, and being censored or cancelled for being ‘conservative.’
Unless ordinary women confront transactivists within their ranks, they’ll keep losing ground that celebrated women first ceded.
Not all transgenders are naughty or nefarious, but many are both. What perverts do in private matters less, but transactivism insists that everyone genuflect to gender ideology.
Transwomen aren’t women. They’re men, pretending, or pining, to be women. Trouble is, too many prominent people who’ve said or implied the opposite, in practice or policy (if not phrasing), are women, not men. It isn’t just perverted men who shouted down women (and men) protesting trans-tyranny; it’s prominent women too.
