News from the competitive victimhood sweepstakes in Great Britain indicates that transsexuals have won the Most Oppressed Group prize, and are now able to demand complete deference. Kathy Shaidle and Donald Douglas have covered this bizarre controversy. To summarize:
- Suzanne Moore, a columnist for the left-wing Guardian newspaper, published a feminist essay in the New Statesman magazine that included these sentences: “The cliché is that female anger is always turned inwards rather than outwards into despair. We are angry with ourselves for not being happier, not being loved properly and not having the ideal body shape — that of a Brazilian transsexual.”
- Moore’s quip drew the ire of what political correctness now requires us to describe as “the transgender community,” who engaged in angry online harassment of Moore, who Tweeted in response, “People can just fuck off really. Cut their dicks off and be more feminist than me. Good for them” — and then deactivated her Twitter account.
- Fellow feminists rallied to Moore’s defense, including Julie Burchill, who wrote a column for the Observer in which she derided Moore’s antagonists as “a bunch of dicks in chicks’ clothing” and “bed-wetters in bad wigs.”
- The aforesaid “transgender community” then formed a digital lynch mob against Burchill, attracting the political support of Member of Parliament (MP) Lynne Featherstone, who accused Burchill and the Observer of “inciting hatred.”
- John Mulholland, editor of the Observer, folded like a cheap suit, pulling Burchill’s column off their Web site and issuing a craven apology “in light of the hurt and offence caused.”
All of this uproar began, remember, with a feminist’s jocular complaint about ridiculous pressures on women about their looks. And the moral of the story: Angry bullies always win!
From whom did the transgender community learn this lesson?
Why, yes, of course: From feminists themselves, who ruthlessly bullied their way to power by organizing hate-fests to denounce men whom they accused of sexism, discrimination, and/or harassment.
The boomerang of ironic payback . . .
Funny, the only requirement I recognize on the use of language around here is that enforced by Wombat_socho. Political correctness? WTF is that? GTFO.
There is no such thing as a “transexual.” They are simply people who had cosmetic surgery to resemble the opposite sex. They are still what they were born as. That goes all the way to their DNA. When they can change their DNA, then we can talk.
The irony of this post would be delicious if it weren’t for the increased coarseness we see as a result. I’ll still laugh at the feminists as they are getting karmic revenge played out on them.
Drag Queens and transexuals and feminists oh my! The irony is indeed delicious. Schadenfreude in stiletto heels. I guess the one who shrieks the most hysterically wins the argument?
Schadenfreude in stiletto heels.
Feminists are infamously Women in Sensible Shoes.
If Boehner had some angry bully in him, we’d be better off..
Ticked off Trannies with Knives? This is available via Netflix!
Don’t they love Doc Martins?
Dude! Awesome name for a band! Or at least a Velvet Underground album title.
The real irony is that you really can’t tell them to just grow a pair.
Now, now, – it was Dr. Maertens and his friend Dr. Funck (no, I am NOT kidding) who were originally contracted by the British bootmaker Griggs about their distinctive design, originally marketed to London youth gangs like the Teddy Boys – because nothing says nihilistic youthful rebellion like sensible, comfortable boots.
Indeed, being “transsexual” can never be anything more than very elaborate and expensive drag.
Well they did, didn’t they . . . ?
“We are angry with ourselves for not being happier, not being loved
properly and not having the ideal body shape – that of a Brazilian
transsexual.”
It strikes me that this line is actually complimentary towards Brazilian transsexuals, saying they have the hot to-die-for bods. But then I realized it is the British trannies who have their panties in a bunch – perhaps they are as fat and ugly as the British feminists and angry at being reminded of it?
In a completely unrelated travel tip for those planning a trip to Rio for the 2016 Olympics, especially Secret Service agents: look closely for Adam’s apples and stubble, and be suspicious of anyone cuter than a British feminist.
“Angry bullies always win” ? Until, of course, they don’t and they find that actions have consequences.
Victim Wars!
All the gore and violence of Robot Wars, with none of the sadness at losing a contestant.
Ahhh, but how does Wombat look in a dress?!?
Solid advice there, Adj, gained, I gather, from personal experience???
Amen to that sister. 😉
[…] Elsewhere in the world of British media, “Paper pulls Julie Burchill column about transsexual bullies — after transsexual bullies complain,” but Kathy Shaidle archived a large portion of the column. (Update: More on this topic from Stacy McCain.) […]
I think this comes in the category, don’t mess with crazy.
Don’t ask, don’t tell !!!!
Same as above….
Don’t ask, don’t tell !!!
This article begs for lurid photos like they have on the cover of tabloids. You know the kind I mean, where you can count the pores on some movie star’s face.
Notice how I snuck in the word “lurid.” It’s like the cowbell of popular culture articles.
We can rebuild him. We have the trans-knowlegy.
British feminists created the boob belt to hold them down. (So the belts adorning the First Lady are merely vestigial, so to speak. A mere suggestion as to the original concept.)
There’s a mental image I didn’t need.
With steel toes and hobnails.
And promptly discarded that most essential physical trait.
Your cooperation is noted and appreciated, citizen. 🙂
Only in your fevered imagination will you find the answer to that one, because it doesn’t exist in reality.
I was thinking a new and different pair . . .
I don’t even know how he looks out of a dress.
No, wait…
A sort of faux-testes or more along the line of Snap-On tools?
No, I meant they traded nuts for boobs.
Boobs will get you farther than nuts sometimes.
If he would wear these you might get some angst from Boo-Hoo Boehner.

So…if I understand you correctly: I’d have to be a Leftist to imagine it.
Hail Wombaticus: Pontifex Of The Ban Hammer of the Vestal Virgins!
‘Lurid’ is one of the great words of the English Language.
Yes. I love a word that just sounds like what it means.
