bodies with hair, wrinkles and odours, bodies housing diverse, creative, non-bimbo brains — rather than with plastic-breasted, wide-eyed fantasies. It is not for nothing that “protect the dolls” has become the go-to slogan for “supporting trans women”. Protect the fantasy of dehumanised womanhood from the threat of those saggy-breasted boner-killers, the adult human females!
"Protect the dolls". T-shirts as worn by all the right people, from Tilda Swinton to Pedro Pascal to Connor Ives (who? – ed). Says it all. "Dolls".
The supreme court judgement was not about whether women are biologically female or a joyous, inclusive mix of identities. At its most basic level, it was about whether women are human or a porn stereotype. Humanity won. A significant number of men are so angry about this they’re threatening to rape and kill us.
This is what radicalisation looks like and women are not safe. We are condemned by incels and trans activists alike for existing as humans rather than objects, and politicians, in thrall to fictional rather than actual extremism, still say nothing. The longer they do so, the more things will escalate (as Jeni Harvey has written, this is “the most dangerous time”).
The pandering has to stop. It really is time for the world to wake up.
