Germaine Greer- Still Hatin' After All These Years

The conventional wisdom is that people mellow out in their golden years and get more thoughtful and flexible about issues they were intractable about during their youth.

Well, judging by this comment, Germaine Greer still hasn't learned jack despite thirty plus years of research on transgender people blowing her disco-era transphobic screeds to shreds.

Peep the comment she slipped in on a Guardian commentary she wrote on the Caster Semenya dustup.

Nowadays we are all likely to meet people who think they are women, have women’s names, and feminine clothes and lots of eyeshadow, who seem to us to be some kind of ghastly parody, though it isn’t polite to say so. We pretend that all the people passing for female really are. Other delusions may be challenged, but not a man’s delusion that he is female.

And y'all wonder why I can't stand radical feminists who worship at the altar of Greer, Daly, Raymond et al?

The only 'ghastly parody' here Germaine is you.

Didn't you get the memo? Hatin' on transpeople is so 20th century.

Perez Hilton may call himself the 'Queen of Mean', but he's just a pretender to the throne. The real queen of mean is Her Royal Hater Queen Germaine I.

All hail the Queen of Mean. May her reign of ignorant, intolerant transphobic meanness mercifully come to an end as expeditiously as possible.
