Is Transmania Over?

Perhaps she is being overly optimistic, but Julie Burchill tells us that transmania is over and done with in Great Britain. Since it is not over and done with on our side of the pond, we can only hope that the British are leading the way.

While dumber-than-a-post American judges are trying to ensconce transmania in our legal system, the British Supreme Court recently declared that there are only two sexes, male and female. 

Burchill has applauded the British Supreme Court for taking:

… a definitive step towards the overthrow of the crazed, tyrannical cult which has inexplicably gained power all around the world.

A crazed, tyrannical cult-- Julie Burchill has never minced her words. She reflects on the horrors that the cult have visited on people who have dared defy it, who have dared insist that there are only two sexes:

In the process of dignifying a male sexual fetish – autogynephilia – into the latest human rights crusade, careers have been ruined and reputations wrecked by trans activists and their creepy ‘allies’: all in the name of the ultimate patriarchal plan; to colonise everything won by women, from toilets to trophies, until we have nothing left of our own except the wombs in which the young among us may carry foetuses for rich homosexual men.

Is she right? Is transmania an effort to colonize women’s spaces? To compromise women’s privacy. We recall a high school student in California who was recently forced to change into her gym clothes in the presence of a male who was pretending to be female. 

And we recall that the girl testified in front of school officials, asserting a right to privacy, a phrase that should have been inscribed in every feminist mind, but which apparently has been sacrificed to the right of a man to force people to accept his delusional beliefs.

Burchill continues, pointing out that Tories were too weak to stop it, but that the Labour Party advanced the trans cause:

Yes, the Tories looked the other way and let it all happen, but it was Labour who embraced ‘trans rights’ with the slobbering fervour of a teenage fan getting hold of a boy-bander.

For Burchill, transmania is an assault on women, a failure to protect and defend them against cultists who insist that reality is what they think it is:

Time and again we see the aggression of males attempting to rob women of their hard-won necessities and pleasures. Brave women stand up against these wolves in ewes clothing, often to have their livelihoods and even lives ruined; cowardly women give in to them and become Transmaids.

Among those who have suffered for affirming the existence of two sexes in Great Britain is journalist Graham Linehan. 

Writing in the Times of London in support of the Supreme Court decision he explains that transmania resembles anorexia, an eating disorder that became fashionable some years ago.

I think that the trans movement for young girls has been a kind of anorexia 2.0. But the difference is that in the Seventies and Eighties people were very rightly saying, ‘No, you’re not fat. This is just a thought in your head and we need to work on that.’ But with the trans issue, the whole of society was saying [the equivalent of], ‘Yes, you are fat. It’s a problem.’

The tyrannical side of the trans cult lies in the notion that certain delusional individuals can force everyone to take them at their beliefs.

Linehan believes that the fight to preserve the right to privacy has been won, but that we are not done with surveying the damage and correcting it:

He does think the fight to preserve women’s single-sex spaces in public lavatories, changing rooms and women’s sports is probably won but argues that the toll on the health of biological girls who took gender-altering hormones and on biological boys prescribed oestrogen will persist. While fewer people will be fired for holding gender-critical views, the pro-trans bias will persist in the television, theatre and publishing industries “because those areas are heavily captured”.

Undoing the harm this cult has visited on countless children will require special care for those who have mutilated themselves in its name:

But does he feel any sympathy for a trans person who had undergone treatment, and perhaps surgery, only now to find their gender recognition certificate effectively worthless? “Well, I guess so but it’s just one of those things that should never have happened in the first place,” he replies, reciting the dangers of hormone therapy and the “lie” that puberty blockers are reversible. “I do have sympathy for them but I don’t have sympathy for the people who lied to them. They’re the ones who I really, really hate.”

And Brendan O’Neill has a few words of his own in Spiked about those poor pitiful souls who have been denouncing the court decision::

I’ve found my soundtrack for spring: the caterwauling of fellas in dresses following yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling. It’s delicious. They’re raging about the ‘fascism’ of no longer being allowed to get their knobs out in the women’s changing room. They’re agonising over where they’re supposed to take a shit now. Their Adam’s apples are getting a mighty fine workout as they wail into the void about being ‘erased’ by ‘transphobes’. It’s the sound of men being stripped of their entitlements by women who’ve had enough of their crap, and I am so here for it.
