Now it's true that trans exclusionary radical feminism began as an offshoot of far-left lesbian separatism, with academic feminist Janice Raymond writing in 1979 that transsexualism should be morally mandated out of existence. But the Gender Critical movement was always destined to become a right-wing movement, because it has the structure of a right-wing movement; taking women's fear and rage toward familiar men and displacing it onto an unfamiliar outsider.

Bigotry has a history. The foundational TERF text is feminist professor Janice Raymond's 1979 book, "The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the Sh*-Male." In which Raymond argues that quote. - "All transsexuals rape women's bodies by reducing the real female form to an artifact, appropriating this body for themselves"

In the final chapter of "The Transsexual Empire", Raymond lays out her solution to the trans question, quote, "The problem of transsexualism would best be served by morally mandating it out of existence. I believe that the elimination of transsexualism is not best achieved by legislation prohibiting transsexual treatment and surgery but rather by legislation that limits it. I would favor restricting the number of hospitals and centers where transsexual surgery could be performed. The kind of counseling to pass successfully as masculine or feminine that now reigns in gender identity clinics only reinforces the problem of transsexualism."

Last year a transphobic screed of a book came out that is essentially to trans masculine people what "The Transsexual Empire" was to trans women. It's called "Irreversible Damage: "The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters." Chapter one: "The Contagion." Jesus. Laying it on a little thick, don't you think Abigail?
