Eli Erlick identifies as "Extremely queer
& incredibly trans." (As opposed to relatively queer and common,
garden-variety trans, I guess.) Erlick is also fond of using social media
platforms to declare that transgender women are actually women.
Period.
One of Erlick’s tweets states: "Trans women are
natural women. Trans women are normal women. Trans women are biological women.
Trans women are born women. Trans women are women.”
No they aren’t, or they wouldn’t be “trans.” They
would not have had to transition. This should be self-evident, a priori.
In another tweet, Erlick proclaimed: “The only
inherent difference between trans women and cis women is that trans women were
assigned male by a doctor. Trans is an adjective that describes that assignment.”
Paraphrasing Hillary Clinton, if that’s the case, what difference, at this point, does the
word “difference” make? Or “Biological.” (“Bi-illogical?”) Used like this, they
have been stripped of their meaning, rendered moot.
For that matter, the word
“cis” is nonsensical, too. Cis fill-in-the-blank is the same as whatever filled
in the blank, so in using it we are just wasting a word and confusing people.
If a “woman” can have a penis, there is no
reason she can’t have an elephant’s trunk-- or ivory tusks and a tail. And pigs
can have wings and I can identify as a Sheepdog.
I mean, trans Sheepdogs are natural
Sheepdogs. Trans Sheepdogs are normal Sheepdogs. Trans Sheepdogs are biological
Sheepdogs. Trans Sheepdogs are born Sheepdogs. Trans Sheepdogs are
Sheepdogs. The only
inherent difference between trans Sheepdogs and cis Sheepdogs is that trans Sheepdogs
were assigned human by a doctor at birth. Trans is simply an adjective that
describes that arbitrary assignment.
Right?
It is time we all wake up, shake off the woke spell
we have succumbed to…and transition to grownups.
If our society is to avoid collapse, we must
jettison belief in a “trans reality” and instead embrace cis reality. We
must abandon pursuit of “trans truth”-- and seek the truth. Period.
And some truths are remarkably easy to see. Like the
difference between men and women, for example.
Thank God.
