Trans Mockery

Freud tormented himself over the question: What do women want? Frankly, the best way to answer the question is simply to ask a woman. Most women know very well what they want. If you are on good terms with them, they might even tell you. 

But, now, thanks to civilizational advancements we are now tormenting ourselves with the question: What is a woman? We owe this to the trans movement, a bizarre effort to persuade the world that a male human who mutilates his body, takes cross sex hormones and prances around like a caricature of femininity-- is a real woman. After all, trans women can now sell sports bras.

Such is the result of the current national debate over one Dylan Mulvaney-- trans woman whose association with Bud Light beer caused the company’s sales to tank. 

As Carrie Lukas points out in an excellent article, trans women like Mulvaney are living, breathing, pathetic caricatures. They make a mockery of femininity by making it appear to be a cosmetic enhancement. Moreover, trans women like Mulvaney mock real women by prancing around like mindless and brainless ditzes.

Lukas explains what society is saying when it insists that trans women are real women:

Women are vain, catty, and brainless. Women’s beauty is built on stiletto heels, false eyelashes, giant fake breasts, debilitatingly long manicured nails, and makeup. We know nothing about current events and sports; our heads are filled with gossip, worries about our accessories, and generating clickbait for our online profiles.

These are the messages sent by the elevation of transgender “spokeswomen” such as Dylan Mulvaney. Drag queens’ cartoonish depictions of overly sexualized women are no longer simply tolerated. Rather, the media and society elevate them to womanhood at its best. The mantra is no longer “trans women are women”; now trans women are the best women.

And, of course, as Lukas wisely points out, the elevation of trans women to the status of full womanhood produces more stereotypes. Isn’t young Mulvaney a living, breathing stereotype, someone who adopts stereotypical aspects of womanhood, the better to make a mockery of women?

Naturally, many women, including many feminists, find this to be grotesque. They do not like being caricatured and demeaned. Lukas suggests that the trans movement and its purveyors are making womanhood into a “garish costume:”

Among the great ironies of the rise of the transgender movement is that, while it claims to seek to upend gender roles, in practice, it elevates sexual stereotypes. A generation ago, girls interested in sports and woodworking might have been called tomboys, but no serious person would have suggested they weren’t really girls. Now, society is encouraging girls who do not conform to female stereotypes to consider becoming boys. The message is that womanhood is a garish costume to be put on or discarded. Like changing clothes or hairstyle, it’s a choice you can simply make and easily reverse if you change your mind.

And, of course, women who fought for decades not to be reduced to their body parts have now been reduced to just that-- to their body parts.

Lukas writes:

Women once fought to not be objectified and looked at as a collection of body parts. Yet now, we commonly hear women referred to as bleeders, people with periods, chest feeders, and worse. Spokeswomen selling feminine-hygiene products now have never even had a period; they’ve never felt the cramps and fatigue. They’ve never experienced these things because they do not have ovaries and a uterus. For them, these are useful props, and it’s all just a schtick.

So, it’s a form of societal madness, signaling a culture that has lost its collective mind. This notion that we are all obliged to participate in this nationwide mockery of womanhood speaks very ill of us. 

And dare we say, there is something wrong with a culture that allows males to participate in women’s sports, even to the point of allowing them in locker rooms. Does this make trans women into real women, or does this represent a new form of flagrant misogyny. When a man exposes himself in a locker room, doesn't that constitute sexual abuse or harassment?

As Lukas points out, there is no national movement to allow females to participate in sports as males, if they should so choose.
