För dem som studerar feminism är säkert namnet Janice Raymond ett bekant namn. Mycket av hennes ståndpunkter finns idag starkt representerade i feminismrörelsen. För transsexuella kan vara intressant att känna till att hon skrev en bok som hette The Transsexual Empire, 1979 och en del citat ur dess innehåll:
All transsexuals rape women’s bodies by reducing the real female form to an artefact, and appropriating this body for themselves. [...] Transsexuals merely cut off the most obvious means of invading women, so that they seem non-invasive.
The transsexually constructed lesbian-feminist feeds off woman’s true energy source, i.e. her woman-identified self. It is he who recognises that if female spirit, mind, creativity and sexuality exist anywhere in a powerful way it is here, among lesbian-feminists.
I contend that the problem with transsexualism would best be served by morally mandating it out of existence.
Emmet skriver väldigt bra om transsexualism och feminism (och Janice Raymond) på sin blogg.
