For years, conservatives have been warning about the cultural ramifications of denying the natural sex binary. And now, we’re seeing the devastating effects firsthand. Men are invading female spaces, taking away opportunities and scholarships from real women. But more importantly, women and girls are no longer safe in their own spaces. Predatory men are allowed in locker rooms and bathrooms, sorority houses, and even female prisons. Abortifacient drugs are being distributed to female prisoners who are being raped and impregnated by “female-identifying” male inmates.
But it’s not just conservatives who are speaking out. A growing number of female leftists are realizing that the transgender movement hurts women. Young and progressive feminists are taking to TikTok to join the older generation of “TERFS” (trans-exclusionary radical feminists) in decrying what they rightfully perceive as female erasure.
Victimhood and Name-Calling are Not the Answer
These younger feminists are using victimhood and name-calling as their weapon of choice. But some are taking a different approach. TikToker Angelene Fratto, who identifies as an LGBTQ community ally, defends femininity while compromising with those who are actively expunging it. Another woman, LuxGamma, specifically calls out “trans white women” for their “misogyny” and explains that terms like “chestfeeding” and “trans women get periods” contradict reality and science.
Women’s safety is on the line. No longer can females peacefully use a locker room or bathroom with the assurance that predatory men won’t be allowed inside.
Real women are losing opportunities. Men are taking away scholarships, awards, and opportunities from real women.
The transgender movement hurts women. A growing number of female leftists are realizing that the transgender movement is actively erasing women.

It’s time to have an honest conversation about the transgender movement and its impact on women. We can’t continue to ignore the very real concerns and dangers that women are facing.
Why the Transgender Movement is Dividing the Left
The transgender movement has caused a rift within the left-wing community, with some activists accusing others of not being woke enough. LuxGamma, a popular TikTok user, recently faced backlash from the trans community for her views on gender identity. While LuxGamma made some valid points, her left-wing framework and woke buzzwords ultimately set her up for failure.
Transgender activists have responded with woke terminology, claiming that being a “cis woman” is a privilege and that men cosplaying as women will always be more oppressed than real women. This has caused further division within the left-wing community, with some accusing the trans movement of being too extreme.
As the debate rages on, it’s clear that the transgender movement is causing a divide within the left-wing community. While it’s important to support the rights of transgender individuals, it’s also important to have open and honest discussions about the impact of gender identity on society as a whole.
Terms like “chestfeeding” and “birthing person” have ignited visceral reactions from women of all persuasions, progressive or otherwise, because it’s an erasure of something that makes women unique. It’s an intrinsic part of our being, and we all know it. The biggest reason modern feminists cannot defend femininity from radical trans activists is that they themselves erased it decades ago.
Listen to TikToker Mikala Tingler, who admitted that while she’s “all for being inclusive and making people feel seen and heard and welcomed,” she can’t get behind terms like “chestfeeding” or “birthing person.” “These are things that make womanhood so incredibly unique,” Tingler said.
Yet it was the second-wave feminist movement that first began popularizing the concept of “gender” as a social construct. It was the feminists who demonized women’s reproductive gifts, labeling them a curse and instead embracing hormone-disrupting birth control and abortion. Indeed, the feminist movement killed millions of unborn children, while also rejecting femininity and dismissing the beauty of motherhood.
Greer’s Legacy
In a 2015 BBC interview, old-school feminist Germaine Greer stated that men who have undergone transgender surgery are not women. Leftist students at Cardiff University, where Greer was scheduled to speak following the interview, created a petition to revoke her invitation on the grounds of “misogynistic views towards trans women.”
To Greer’s credit, she’s had enough integrity to stand against transgenderism when she saw how damaging it has become for women. But she hasn’t renounced the radical feminist ideology — that she helped create — which made the transgender movement possible. Transgenderism is Greer’s legacy. She and her boomer second-wave feminist allies turned womanhood into a costume.
The young progressives on TikTok fighting for womanhood are fighting a losing battle. Just like Greer taught them, they engage in hookup culture, avoid marriage, vilify men, and forgo motherhood for professional rat races. Thanks to their foremothers, young progressives will never win back womanhood and femininity because they reject both.
Conclusion
It’s time for modern feminists to reclaim femininity and womanhood. We need to embrace our unique gifts and celebrate the beauty of motherhood. We need to reject the radical gender ideology that erases our identity and undermines our autonomy. Only then can we truly defend ourselves from the trans activists who seek to erase us.
