The best things said about it
Like i don't think people knew this but it was really it was radical feminist like janice raymond wrote a book about transgenderism and how it was like dangerous to women and women's rights in 1979 what yes it's called the transsexual empire.
And this is one of the things that you know weapon girl for example there are a lot of bad ideas about trans people that had been circling lading for a long time especially with the culmination of Janice Raymond's book the transsexual empire in the 19 late 1970s 1979 I think.
There were you know there were women writing books about this in the 1970s Janice Raymond wrote a book called The transsexual Empire that talked about the danger uh that this this particular ideology opposed to women.
Soon after its founding in 2011, the group fully embraced radical feminism, staking out a position in an old debate inside the feminist movement raging since the 1970s over whether trans women are in fact women. These feminists, I use the term loosely here, became known as trans-exclusionary radical feminists or turfs. Their heroes were people like Janice Raymond, author.

Why people recommend it
The Transsexual Empire by Janice G. Raymond is a 1979 radical feminist text that critiques transgenderism and argues that medical transition technologies and gender identities pose a threat to women's rights and spaces. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Meghan Murphy brought up the book to discuss the history of feminist critiques of transgenderism. On Behind the Bastards, Dr. Julia Serano cited Raymond’s book as an influential source of anti-trans ideas while discussing the history of activism, while Robert Evans brought it up while describing the author as an influential figure connected to modern anti-trans groups. On The Megyn Kelly Show, Kellie-Jay Keen mentioned the book to point out that women were already writing about the perceived dangers of trans ideology in the 1970s. Additionally, on Behind the Bastards, Christopher Wong named the book while describing the roots of radical environmental and social groups' trans-exclusionary politics, characterizing the work as vehemently transphobic. Across these podcasts, speakers referenced the book to trace the historical origins of contemporary gender-critical arguments and anti-trans political movements.
