In laying claim to the word woman

which I define as a history of

not quite human status,

vulnerability to enforced child bearing,

due to involuntary, biological subjugation.

Gender is a non thing,

a societal construct to confine.

Sex is biology.

You can’t change sex.

You cannot be born in the wrong body.

Sexuality is individual, deeply personal

Connection through the senses to an other.

I am termed transphobic

By humans who seem to consider themselves superior to or maybe just despise nature

yet bow and give obeisance to human experimentation.

Humans who refute, dismiss, ignore and try to negate All That IS.

Trans is a prefix to describe an age old human trait

with a new but still ultimately oppressive jacket.

Phobia is an irrational fear.

I fear

mens’ seeming in-access to emotions other than rage

the violence implicit in that mono emotionality

the state, the weight of historical power, it’s implicit violence

that can at any moment be brought to bear on any of us, at any moment

More likely to turn on those with

darker skin,

differing beliefs,

strident volubility,

the female sex.

If one ignores the ‘news’ and history, maybe, those fears are irrational.

Do I fear

the petulant privileged

those too cowardly to accept, embrace and struggle with

the restrictions imposed by despotic nature

those too lazy to battle for a change which truly frees and liberates all

those who see the scalpel and a lifetime of chemicals

as their salvation?

Is it irrational to fear

continual threats of sexual violence?

loss of safe space?

loss of the right to define what feels safe?

being silenced,

being refused the right to discuss or question?

those who see disagreeing as an invitation to punitive, physical attack?

How a body is constructed,

what it has, why it's called what it's called, how it is wished to be termed

are honestly, of little, if any importance to me.

I believe and validate each persons’ right to all of their feelings

even a desire to hurt me – so long the desire remains unexpressed.

Others feelings are neither my experience, reality nor (in general) interest or concern.

However I refuse to allow someone else’s feelings to be deemed of more importance than mine.

A differing version of reality attempts to invalidate my experience of reality.

There is no such thing as girl dick, female penis or trans lesbians.

Of course everyone can and should have space safe.

Why would it have to be in mine, with me?

If you being in my space makes it unsafe for me

is that because I am a bigot, phobic?

Trans say yes, I say No!

It’s unsafe everywhere

reality is negated and denied with violence,

basic untruths are demanded to validate an identity

I am un-named, denigrated, threatened, demanded and taken from and of.

My battle for liberation is hindered

my language is hijacked,

victim status is claimed by the petulant privileged

young women and children are lied to, mutilated

have experimentation forced upon them

medicalization is sold as salvation

I am silenced and cast as enemy.

I can only pity the desire and demand for inclusion

in a space defined by nature, that biology determines who may enter

There is no assignment.

Only trans change activism and it

Prevents the wombed ones from gathering together in the public sphere,

Makes the truth a hate crime

Advocates (sexual) violence

operates torture, slash and burn

Elevates oppression and misogyny,

Captures, distorts, decimates female psychology.

Those women worth having, will peak and return to the struggle.
