TRANSPLAINING

AKA Feminism is for No-One if it’s Not for Everyone

While I was watching the reaction to the Buzzfeed article in a plush Dublin hotel room, journalists started to call. Not just about my transition. No, they wanted to talk about Germaine Greer.

The night before my coming-out article went live, Greer had appeared on the BBC show Newsnight and said the following:

‘Just because you lop off your dick and then wear a dress doesn’t make you a fucking woman. I’ve asked my doctor to give me long ears and liver spots and I’m going to wear a brown coat but that won’t turn me into a fucking cocker spaniel.

I do understand that some people are born intersex and they deserve support in coming to terms with their gender but it’s not the same thing. A man who gets his dick chopped off is actually inflicting an extraordinary act of violence on himself.’
