Transgender Body Politics (Spinifex Shorts) Kindle Edition

Transgenderism in the twenty-first century is patriarchy emblazoned in imperial form.At a time when supposedly enlightened attitudes are championed by the mainstream, philosopher and activist Heather Brunskell-Evans shows how, in plain view under the guise of liberalism, a regressive men's rights movement is posing a massive threat to the human rights of women and children everywhere.This movement is transgender politics which, while spouting platitudes about equality, is in reality colonising and erasing the bodies, agency and autonomy of women and children, while asserting men's rights to bodily intrusion into every social and personal space. The transgender agenda redefines diversity and inclusion utilising the language of victimhood.In a complete reversal of feminist gender critical analyses, sex and gender are redefined: identity is now called ‘innate' (a ‘feeling' located somewhere in the body) and biological sex is said to be socially constructed (and hence changeable). This ensures a lifetime of drug dependency for transitioners, thereby delivering vast profits for Big Pharma in a capitalist dream.Everyone, including every trans person, has the right to live freely without discrimination. But the transgender movement has been hijacked by misogynists who are appropriating and inverting the struggles of feminism to deliver an agenda devoid of feminist principles. In a chilling twist, when feminists critique the patriarchal status quo it is now they who are alleged to be extremists for not allowing men's interests to control the political narrative. Institutions whose purpose is to defend human rights now interpret truth speech as hate speech, and endorse the no-platforming of women as ethical.This brave, truthful and eye-opening book does not shirk from the challenge of meeting the politics of liberalism and transgender rights head on. Everyone who cares about the future of women's and children's rights must read it. The micro-polit

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2021
At a time when America is burning, when authoritarianism is coming down on people like a hammer, when deforestation threatens our atmosphere and drought threatens our survival, when a global pandemic is killing us by the millions, it is refreshing to see a book such as this that focuses on the really important issues, like what is inside another person's pants or in their genetic makeup.

This short, well written book provides a very accessible account of trans activism over the past few years. It explains how gender ideology has presented itself as a benign , rights based movement, while deliberately declaring as bigots , anyone who questions the position that men can become women simply because they feel they are women .Brunswick - Evan believes that biological sex matters and that it is a physical reality which shapes the lives of men and women across the world . She provides a clear account of some of the ethical and moral issues which are currently playing out as gender ideology silences debate and comes to dominate public, political and intellectual discourse . Everyone should read this book , especially those who have uncritically accepted an ideological position that people can be born in the wrong body . For those who undertake medical intervention to address this belief ,the consequences may include a lifelong need for medical support

Eine absolute LOGIKBOMBE wie man sie in dieser postmodernen postfaktualen perversen Welt kaum noch finden mag. Neben Abigail Shriers Buch wohl das Wichtigste, was ich je gelesen habe.

I wrote a review praising this book and saying that the extreme transgenderist ideology described in it should be resisted, and - surprise surprise! - Amazon did not post it. No explanation given, but I've obviously been deplatformed. This confirms the point made in the book that not even the mildest criticism is tolerated. I find that worrying. Do you?

Discussed Queer theory and it's contradictions in the real world. Personally I'd say looking at all the main UK parties this can hardly be described as left wing, authoritarian trans-Atlantic liberalism seems more accurate..
