“My awakening”
Letter submitted by C. Eide
In believing in women’s rights, I have always found supporting the rights of others easy. I voted to allow Trans “Women” to be moved to women’s prisons. It was the very beginning of my education. I had always been impressed with the rare person who truly felt sexually misplaced. I thought that was the issue.
Slowly, I learned there was a major difference between transsexual and transgender. My daughter set me straight and I started my research. I started taking note of feminist speakers being refused at campuses because they were “transphobic.” I looked up the recommended names for everyone and everything finding that the word woman was being eliminated and replaced with “ bleeder” or “breeder.” After reading this, I truly understood, what I felt was the completely malevolent intentions of this movement. I am not saying each person is malevolent, but the architects of this farce truly hate women.
I made it my goal to learn as much as I could as quickly as possible. Firstly, finding it was virtually impossible to learn anything here because there was a news blackout. Everyone was so afraid of retaliation there was nothing to read or see, so I went on YouTube to England where they were still debating the issues.
I learned about the 4,000 % increase in young girls seeking transgender services. There were also some young people who were unhappy with their transition and how badly they were treated at the mental health center. A book was recommended about transgender issues and I found out the ACLU has been actively trying to get it banned and get it removed from Amazon.
At this time I received word that my step granddaughter was transgender. Her mother had seen my questions and concerns on Facebook and now refuses to acknowledge my existence.
Being a woman has been difficult because of the barriers placed in my path; parental judgments, restrictions, fears. But, this new monster, set to take away our spaces, freedoms, hard fought victories and, yes, even our name: WOMEN, is the worst possible.
I saw the film of the taunting trans “women” saying “real women have cocks,” and I was completely disgusted.
The women I tell about this, don’t believe me. They can’t believe their sons, daughters, husbands, and friends would do this, but it’s happening and it disgusts and frightens me. This is my story. This was my awakening.
