The Comité Laïcité République (republic secularism committee), an association that promotes French secularism, said critics had threatened to attack the event with “rotten eggs and baseball bats” over the presence of Marguerite Stern, 32, who is behind a nationwide campaign to denounce the murder of women by their husbands and partners....
[Stern] helped to launch what she calls the “Femellist movement”... to counter transgender activism, which Stern describes as a “Trojan horse” for “masculinist” movements seeking to reduce women’s rights. “Being a woman is not a feeling or a sentiment or a fantasy or a taste in clothes but a biological and sexual reality,” the website says.
Mahaut Bertu, the leftist deputy mayor of Nantes, accused Stern of wanting to reduce women to “females, to a uterus, to a reproductive apparatus. The danger for women . . . does not come from trans people. The danger . . . comes from the patriarchy [and] the sexism, the violence and the discrimination it engenders,” she said.

But insisting that one refer to "vulva people" (rather than women) is NOT sexist or objectifying. Got it.
The depths are getting confusing.
I would say that this is tone-deaf, considering how recently the shooting at Covenant School was committed by....hey, look, a squirrel!
But that the tranzis don't see the problem is kind of illuminating.
Winning hearts and minds.
How long do you think people will continue to put up with this sort of bullying behavior?
Simple question. I'm baffled it has gone this long, so I don't trust my own judgment. This seems headed to some kind of useless, tragic, and unnecessary climax this year.
Were it not so tragic, it'd be comedic.
I have to wonder... Did the first-wave feminists expect this would be the end-state of their efforts? Did any of them anticipate that they'd end up supplanted by men, inside their own sexual roles and identity?
Honestly, the whole world has gone mad with this BS. And, for what? A vanishingly small percentage of the population? To what benefit is all of this going?
The amusing thing is going to watch things in a few short decades, as the panic sets in about the non-existent fertility rates. Watch what the lunatic left control freaks get up to, then...
Key thing to remember: You can't rule over non-existent plebs. If they won't breed, what will you do to get your jollies, dominating them and running their lives?
What really cracks me up is contemplating the WEF types, once they figure out that their net-zero lifestyle imposition will imply that they're going to have to do things for themselves, because it'll be quite like the post-Black Death Europe, with nobody left to do the work. Who's going to be around to do their dirty work? Nobody? LOL...
This is The Matriarchy at work, not The Patriarchy.
This is good, lets women know where they stand.
i wonder.. i wonder what Iran's morality police think about trans folk?
I'm Sure, that THEY are TOTALLY Supportive.. Aren't you sure too?
critics that threatened to attack the event with “rotten eggs and baseball bats” over the presence of Marguerite Stern, 32, who is behind a nationwide campaign to denounce the murder of women by their husbands and partners....
oh! never mind! If the critics are in FAVOR of the murder of women by their husbands and partners..
They Must Be A OKAY!! The Last thing in the world that we want, is for cis-women to think that they can just walk around, and exist.. Without having to worry about murder and being stuck with baseball bats
(sorry, last post)
the danger for women.. does not come from trans people.. it comes from trans peoples' baseball bats
"critics had threatened to attack the event with “rotten eggs and baseball bats”"
Must have been before Hale took it up a notch.
"[Stern] helped to launch what she calls the “Femellist movement”... to counter transgender activism, which Stern describes as a “Trojan horse” for “masculinist” movements seeking to reduce women’s rights. “Being a woman is not a feeling or a sentiment or a fantasy or a taste in clothes but a biological and sexual reality,” the website says."
Stern is correct.
"Mahaut Bertu, the leftist deputy mayor of Nantes, accused Stern of wanting to reduce women to “females, to a uterus, to a reproductive apparatus."
Identifying what is distinctively female is now a "reduction." Take that, feminists.
"The danger for women . . . does not come from trans people. The danger . . . comes from the patriarchy [and] the sexism, the violence and the discrimination it engenders,” she said."
Tell it in Nashville.
Hilarious.
I hope all that nonsense works out for them… reap what they’ve sown.
When are American feminists going to care more about the real hardships of women living in fundamentalist Muslim theocracies than the mere feelings of trans activists? Never? Sounds about right.
I'm starting to think the trans-movement is anti-women.
Conflation of sex and gender, social standards, politically congruent constructs, and normalizing genderfication for social progress... Democrats on parade indulging pride and prejudice. Throw another baby on the barbie, it's over, maybe, in Afghanistan, in Iran where Biden revisits Persian Spring.
And the displacement of women continues around the world. The erstwhile mayor of Nantes is one of those women who hopes the crocodile eats her last.
Doesn't anyone see how silly this is?
She's acting like a woman.
Neither feminists nor trans/homosexuals, can socially distance themselves from the modern family of Democrat causes. Play with a double edged scalpel... and the women and girls get scalped in Spring.
Anger management and self-control issues seem to be recurring themes among some of those “identifying” as “transgender.” Even pointing that out runs the risk of being threatened with violence and/or the loss of your livelihood.
Saying the obvious now verboten
And now Fox shows 'trans woman' and new Bud Light partner Dylan Mulvaney now paid by Nike to model sports bras.
I kid you not.
Well you opened the pervert door with homosexuals. Normalized them. So now crossdressing men.. and later pedophiles ('man boy love' ya know.) Your children and childen's children will be molested, legally. Reap what you sow.
We live in unserious times.
The leftist deputy mayor is correct that the primary danger to these women is from men who identify as men, but... keep showing us exactly who you are, "trans activists"!
I should have taken the time to add the italic or bold tags around "primary" in my comment just now.
Feminists set this off and are now paying the price. The trannies are full of ANTIFA types and this is their style.
Transgender activists are fascists. The only good transgender activist is a cowed transgender activist.
Proving once again that the French are probably not ready for self-government.
Francs to toenail clippings that Mahaut Bertu is a Mohammedan.
It seems we've arrived at the point where we can't agree women shouldn't be murdered, unless we can first agree on the elusive definition of "women." Alas, the story is paywalled.
Nonetheless, I am detecting increasing anger against those with opposing viewpoints who step out of the caricature their opponents assign to them. If you disagree with me that the definition of "women" should be determined by chosen gender rather than biological sex, you must also believe that women should be victims of violence. It follows that Marguerite Stern must be unpersoned because it is impossible that she holds the beliefs she claims to hold. She is a rhetorical impossibility.
This game is played in almost every heated context: Republicans of color, black police officers, pro-life women...the impulse to sort everyone else into their proper bins and keep them there cannot accommodate real-life complexity. Meanwhile, victims of domestic violence must suffer because only the "right" types of people are permitted to offer help?
Foolish consistency, hobgoblins, small minds. I don't like where this is going, or where it will end up.
... "the presence of Marguerite Stern, 32, who is behind a nationwide campaign to denounce the murder of women by their husbands and partners."
Oh, wow. So she's a female supremacist. They should attack her with eggs and baseball bats!
These poor women. Forced to wear burkas by right wing religious, chauvinistic autocrats. And then, when liberal feminist leaders from the US would visit...they'd put on a burka and capitulate to it. Multi-cultural virtue signaling for those back home.
And now, they get it from American women who vote for Democrats and liberal court justices who promote gender confusion.
These Afghan and Iranian women can't even get a together without transgender shit thrown in their face. You think these mothers want to take their kids to tranny drag show and story hours? They've had a hard enough time being women. Can't American women give them a break? Or, is it all virtue signaling, all the time?
The irony. Muslim and Shite women try and get together, and now women with penises are threatening to shut them down violently.
Make perfect sense. You can't escape the penis...
Sexual dimorphism in mammalian species is inescapable. Only 1 in 185000 human births has intersex issues.
What I find astonishing about the feminist argument against transgenderism is that it seems to assert that transgenderism would be peachy if it didn't undermine feminism.
transgender people sure are angry and violent.
I have a story to tell about this topic that confirms it a bit.
rather than telling the story - lets just say that I know a transgendered person and she (formerly he) is a really angry person. has been so for her (his) entire life.
6 o'clock Mountain time and Althouse is still moderating. More and more I spend time at neo.
Trannies hate real women. Most gay men despise women. These aren’t stereotypes. They’re facts.
Serious Questions (that might Sound Snarky.. But Aren't)
Remember?
When liberals thought moms taking daughters to a 'doctor' and having clitorises cut off was Bad, and Wrong?
When liberals thought moms taking daughters to a 'doctor' and having labia cut off was Bad. and Wrong?
Remember back then, these daughters were only like 10 years old? And THAT, was HORRIFIC?
Final Question: What's Next? Honor Killings; if your child is not content with the gender you imposed?
Western Civilization is in dire need of a grave crisis. And no, I don't mean a plague of misgendering. I mean a real plague. Or better yet, something we're well past due for- another world war. One that shakes the very foundations of civilization and reminds people of reality and why some things are worth fighting for.
Today's society has taken navel gazing to ridiculous levels. How on earth, after all the years we've had to get to this point, are we making up genders, pronouns, and refusing to accept that A is A. A thing is what it is? A world war will sharpen the focus of every person who wants to make it through. War, pestilence, famine. We're due. Even the furries will have to decide whether to shed the fur or become extinct bunnies.
Where is ISIS when you really need them? Drinking coffee and eating doughnuts?
There are two kinds of “transgender people”: those who are born male and are transitioning (or want to transition) to female; those who are born female and are transitioning (or want to transition) to male. The latter group (not every member, but statistically a large group than the general population) are more likely to take testosterone as part of their treatment to transition to maleness. A person who increases his or her level of testosterone has an increased probability of increasing his or her proclivity toward acting violently. So it should not be surprisng that “transing” is correlated with “violent action”. But I bet if you looked more closely you would see “transing F to M” is strongly correlated with violent action, and “transing M to F” is uncorrelated, or weakly correlated with violent action.
Because the Afghan and Iranian women aren't really important...let them be crushed. The important thing is that Western women are sending the proper virtue signals.
“transgender people sure are angry and violent.”
No, transgender people are mentally ill. Which makes them frequently unpredictable, irrational, and prone to persecution manias.
Like a lot of mentally ill folks.
But the sado-compassion of the Left insists that we pretend they’re normal, ‘cause hosting a freak show is a whole lot easier and more fun than the hard work of mental health.
I miss the days when NAMBLA was the most perverse thing we could conjure up.
This is hysterical.
Isn't this where the Proud Boys came on the scene, as a satire and humor? They were self-proclaimed "Western civilization chauvinists" and said some cultures are better than others.
Sometimes people must abjectly fail before things change. Evolution is a harsh taskmaster. Enjoy your last days.
Has anyone else noticed that transgender women activists seem to be role models of toxic masculinity?
Party of science, exhibit 4,591
Bwahahahahahaha.
Transgender, pride, women, second, and children, selective. Biden is like Obama's Spring.
Has anyone else noticed that transgender women activists seem to be role models of toxic masculinity?
Also, toxic femininity. Witness the woman who chose to abort six people, including three children who she deemed a "burden".
@gilbar
From what I understand, Iran is ridiculously supportive of transgenders. Keyword: “ridiculously.” They encourage (force?) gay men and women to become transgender so they can be “straight.” Being homosexual is the greater sin in their eyes. So they “trans away the gay.”
This all sounds horrific until you realize that a majority of little white boys being trans by their white mothers in America are being treated the same.

I think it's being promoted as a power play: make the plebs acknowledge something that's untrue as a sign of power. The more ridiculous the better.
"We can force you to say 2+2=5 and you can't do anything about it."
Between group A (westerns need to do more for foreign people/countries, almost certainly either giving them coin or allowing mass immigration) and group B (transexual apologists), I choose the enlightened path of cruel neutrality.
Of course sex isn't determined by science.
Only global warming is.
"We can force you to say 2+2=5 and you can't do anything about it."
2+2 "=" 5

― Ayn Rand
a contradiction cannot be achieved in reality and that the attempt to achieve it can lead only to disaster and destruction.
They're coming after the word "sex" now that they've polluted the word "gender".
Sex IS determined by biology. They're deniers.
