I Publicly Apologized to Transwomen...& Then I Regrew A Spine.
Part 3 of My Retrospective on my First Gender Critical Video in 2013
A strong woman tends to spark rage in trans rights activists more than anything.
Yeah, you read it right.
After fiercely standing up for women, I eventually backed down.
This is Part 3 of my essay series about my 2013 Youtube video, “Transwomen are Not Female”—the very first time I spoke publicly against gender ideology.
If you haven’t already, I highly suggest watching and reading Parts 1 and 2 first.
…
Exactly one year after I posted my Transwomen are Not Female video, I received a message from a transwoman that touched my heart, and made me reconsider my views. Just one hour after I read that message, I created and uploaded a new video, called RE: Transwomen are Not Female (1 Year Later).
I will repost the full video here, and share my reflections on the message I received, as well as what I spoke about in my video.
Since this is the only video in this entire series that has still retained all of the old comments, I will also discuss the mixed reactions I received, including from the trans-identified male who initially prompted my apology.
I offer my thoughts on the phenomenon of women being manipulated into silence and submission in service of the trans movement, and why I feel that I was targeted for manipulation in a way that I wouldn’t be today.
Finally, I will share my journey to overcoming my silence, and the whole story of how I gathered the courage and fortitude to come back even stronger, 10 years later.
