Transgender Women Tell Women’s March They’re Not Inclusive Enough
The Daily Signal ^ | November 2, 2017 | Kelsey Harkness

DETROIT—In public, transgender activists often blame conservatives for being intolerant. But behind closed doors inside their own safe spaces, a different story unfolds—one in which the most ardent supporters of the Women’s March are the oppressors.

Speaking at the Women’s Convention in Detroit, an event organized by the leaders of the Women’s March, transgender women berated conference organizers for assuming transgender speakers were qualified to only speak on panels addressing trans-specific issues.

“Why is my voice confined to just one panel?” asked Katelyn Burns, one of three transgender women featured on the panel, “Not All Pussies Are Pink and Not All Women Have Pussies.”

The idea for the panel was inspired by the infamous pink hat, which millions of women wore on Jan. 21 as they marched in Washington, D.C., and around the world.

“Pussy hats became the symbol of the Women’s March movement. But for many women, the pussy hats represent an erasure of women of color and trans women in the feminist movement—because not all pussies are pink, and not all women have pussies,” the description read. “This panel will address how to fully include trans women, particularly trans women of color, in the feminist movement.”

“Why is it that when I pitch editors on topics that aren’t trans-related, I never hear back from them?” Burns added. “At this point, the only way I get paid to eat is if I write about trans stuff, and I always question why that is … That trans-oppression is crushing.”

The tension in the room could be cut with a knife. Panelists went so far as to attack Women’s March organizers by name, accusing them of including transgender activists in their events to check a box.

And not a single division or faction of their Equal Rights Parade will ever be happy until they get the Upper Hand over everyone else, because that’s what Equal Rights is all about.

Because they only care about what you can do for them. It’s known as an agenda — and you really mustn’t try to escape the box you’re assigned to.

This is what happens when insanity meets insanity. It would be fortunate if they could all just implode.

2018 is going to be a great year to watch the left disintegrate. This stuff just makes my day. I can only hope the left continues down this road.

PROGRESSIVE SCHADENFREUDE

Hoist With Their Own Petard

The nation has spent billions of taxpayer dollars and changed the face of education and amateur sports in order to comply with Title IX.

Now a relatively few mentally ill men are destroying amateur women’s sports by claiming they are females.

Progressives created women’s Lib and transgender rights as liberal victim groups they could pander to. Now they are caught between the two as they clash.
And all they can do is sit there dumbfounded as transgender men set the women’s lib movement back 50 years!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972:

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

The irony is which things they consider flexible: you can change your gender but not your race. You can argue you’re really a different species but you cannot argue your age.

Genetically, I’m closer to being a black man than a woman, so today, I identify as a black transgender female lesbian.

Can I get a Title IX scholarship?
