Inexcusable Regardless of Gender Identity

Sexual predator Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv

This is a response to an article at Feminist Current by Graham Linehan.

Even if you are the sort of person who 100% believes that "trans women are women," how do you excuse the predatory behavior of JY towards young girls? Being transgender does not excuse being a child molester. These people are beyond the pale and off the rails.

Thank you for bringing this story to light. Awful though it is, it needs to be seen. Stories like this need to be seen until even the biggest deniers of reality can't ignore the worst of the worst.

Granted, some people's ability to deny reality is extremely strong, and it could take a long time.

A few years back, I was a not-so-young person believing I was protecting the "most vulnerable" by parroting the TRA screed that trans women are women and feminism needs to be inclusive of them. However, once I saw how out of hand the violent "punch a TERF" rhetoric was becoming, I looked deeper and realized that the TRA movement is not about "live and let live." It's about TRAs taking over feminism and silencing women. That cannot be permitted.

Being transgender does not excuse predatory behavior.

I can 1000% say that I never asked a stranger in a bathroom how to put a pad on as a preteen girl. This sick freak is asking these fucked-up questions to get off. Nobody who isn't a fucking predator would be asking this shit.

Again, regardless of whether one believes that trans women are absolutely 100% women or not even if they still have a penis, how the fuck do you excuse this shit?

This is a predator.

Being trans is not a pass for being a predator or any other illegal, fucked-up behavior.

Marines Nude Photo Scandal and Apologizing for Predatory Men

What is wrong with these assholes? Men and service people should both be furious with them. They make the Marines look bad, and they make men look like creepy, immature, misogynistic predators.

There are some who use this as a "reason" why women shouldn't be allowed to serve in the Military, because, apparently, men are predators who don't know how to behave themselves in the presence of women. If I were a man, I would be very angry about this attitude.

Oddly enough, when working in mixed company, I do not and never have felt the need to jump the bones of every man I work with, and posting nude photos of them without their permission would never have occurred to me. It would have been fairly easy for me to obtain nude photos of men I'd worked with about 20 years ago, as I was working as an artist's model for part of my income.

So, in that instance, I sometimes posed with male models. Who were naked, and so was I. We didn't touch each other. We chatted with each other to pass the time. There was no "ZOMG, we have to have sex NOW!" attitude. 

Mature people can behave respectfully around persons of the opposite sex (or the same sex, if they are homosexual) and not try to get everybody in the sack. 

Insisting on treating other people like sex objects is NOT normal behavior. We should stop excusing such behavior by saying things like "boys will be boys." Most boys (and men) are not predators by nature. Let's quit apologizing for and defending those who behave in a predatory fashion.
