Well done, Janice, as usual. And let's not forget that the roots of the trans movement were nourished in the soil of radical feminism that for decades told us that sex is a social construct. Today's transsexualism just takes that a step further than those feminists anticipated.
"The only reason people are so outraged by this is because it is women who are being affected. Rather than highlighting misogyny, it actually highlights society's absurd gynocentrism (something anti-feminists like Janice Fiamengo have been calling out forever). Women have been invading male "spaces" for decades and nobody has ever said or done a thing. In fact, it has been actively encouraged by feminists. Two further things strike me as hypocritical. Firstly, if it was a trans man who was excelling in male sports (unlikely, but not impossible), the actual men would almost certainly be shamed as being "beaten by a girl" - mostly by catty women. Secondly, the winner (in this hypothetical case, a biological female) would never be subjected to the same levels of abuse as Lia Thomas - because that would be deemed "misogyny". Straight men, such as myself, who have been calling out the trans farce for many years, have regularly been called bigots. But now that the chickens have come home to roost, the hysteria is the same old one-way street paved with double standards."
My only disagreement is that you labelled feminism as radical. It has always been radical from the beginning and never veered away from the concept of "equality" as many modern feminists claim. Because the notion that they claim to want equality had never existed in first place.
Personally, I don't believe in gender equality, I think it's an damaging idea that's tearing apart the west. The West was great, yes, I used the word "was" because not now, due to fact we embraced our differences. The irony is that the most successful, most stable, most innovative civilisation are least equal: Classical Greece, Rome, Victoria Britain, Renaissance Italy and Renaissance France, and America prior to the 1960s.
I think the assertion of the title is unassailably correct because the trans monster is a product of feminism, and so the statement becomes a logical truism.
From what I see, the only pushback against trans ideology in Britain is coming from feminists, who seem to have conveniently forgotten that they came up with the idea that femininity is just a costume imposed upon us. even Kellie Jay Keen/Posey Parker, who claims to not be a feminist still complains in a recent video about how single mothers are all abandoned by bad men (statistics showing 70-85% of divorces being initiated by women). The trans side dress up in black and masks, and have attacked women demonstrators, which is a terrible look for them, and getting a lot of sympathy for the feminists. In the US, it appears that the opposition to trans ideology is more based in families working to protect their children from extremely early exposure to LGBTQetc. in the classroom.
I would be interested to know of any research showing that young men are making themselves female (in varying degrees) because they think that it will bring them a better life. That would certainly counter the feminist canard about male privilege.

Hi Janice,
Thank you for the great article and for being one of the few people courageous enough to call out this hypocrisy!
A few months back, very much on this topic, the article below👇 prompted me to write the comment beneath.

Love the interview style and the ‘honest’ forthright answers.
