Transgenderism is preparing little girls to be victimized by predatory men
Here is a really instructive news clip from last week:
Now, this person is plainly a man. Our eyes and ears, our basic intuition and plain common sense, tell us as much—as does the fact that he calls himself a “trans woman,” which in the countermanding linguistics of transgenderism actually means “man.” Of course, major news networks insist that he is a “woman,” and the current social zeitgeist demands that everybody else calls him that, too, but that doesn’t change the truth.
I think this little clip is as good an example of any as to how we’re bringing about the industrial-scale predation and abuse of vulnerable young girls by predatory men. It is going to happen; actually it arguably is already happening. Here is how.
It was not all that long ago that if this man walked into any women’s-only space, anywhere—a bathroom or a changing room (or even a woman’s-only gym)—he would have immediately been marked as a potential predator. This would have been consistent across all institutions. Historically we have recognized this at universal scale: That if a man is seeking to gain access to intimate women’s spaces, where women are in various states of private, intimate, unclothed vulnerability, then that man represents a significant safety risk to the women in that space, and he must be removed from the premises as quickly as possible.
Most importantly, we have taught little girls this from a very young age. People have reflexively instructed little girls to be immediately and comprehensively reactive to strange naked men in their midst: If a boy or a man takes off his clothes around you, get away from him right away and find a trusted adult. We teach this to young boys too, of course, as we should, but it has always carried a special urgency for young girls, because they comprise the vast majority of underage victims of sexual abuse and it is imperative that they learn from a young age to recognize the warning signs of potential abuse so that they can act quickly and protect themselves as best they can.
Transgenderism, simply put, turns this entire instructional framework on its head; worse, it actually abolishes that framework, and instead teachings little girls to ignore all the classic warning signs of looming abuse in order to satisfy the egos of mentally ill men who believe they are women. Nowadays we are teaching little girls that they are wrong to feel uncomfortable at the sight of naked men in their changing rooms, that they must acquiesce to being around naked men while they themselves are naked, and that if they fail to rectify their discomfort then they are themselves guilty of heinous, hateful “transphobic” bigotry.
Needless to say, this approach is doubly obscene: It makes little girls responsible for the burden of mentally ill men, and it further exposes girls to potential unspeakable sexual abuse, either at the hands of the unwell men themselves or else at the hands of the more explicitly predatory men who will take advantage of the newly weakened standards to carry out their predation.
(Some advocates might suggest that we teach girls that they can simply use private changing/bathroom facilities if they are uncomfortable seeing other people naked. This solution is flawed for two reasons: One, it once again places the burden on vulnerable little girls, which is an obscene dereliction of duty by responsible adults. And two, the relentless social pressures from the transgender movement will likely mean many girls will be too afraid to use private facilities lest they be accused of “transphobia” in doing so. There’s no escape.)
We are, of course, already here. This is not a future hypothetical but a present actual. We know this because major news networks are running feature reports on men like “Brigid Klyne-Simpson,” referring to them as women and acting as if it’s somehow newsworthy that a woman’s-only gym refused to allow a man to join it. If it’s come to this, then we’re already well past the point of subjecting countless little girls to potential and actual abuse. The only question is how long we are going to allow this to continue, and how many victims will have to suffer before we put a stop to it.
