Columnist Julie Burchill: Trans women are just ‘big white blokes who have cut their cocks off’


Columnist and writer Julie Burchill has caused offence to the trans community yet again by taking to the comments section of an article to claim that trans women shouldn’t call themselves women.
The self-described ‘radical feminist’ previously wrote for the Guardian,Observer, Mirror and Belfast Telegraph but now more frequently writes for the Spectator.
Burchill made the comments on a Vice Magazine column by prominent trans activist and journalist Paris Lees, in which she talked about catcalling, and questioned whether enjoying the attention of men in the street effectively made her a “bad feminist.”

The Sugar Rush writer said: “Paris, you like it because you ARE still a YOUNG GAY BOY. And that’s what YOUNG GAY BOYS LIKE! Bless!
“Paris, if you were a BORN WOMAN, bothered since the age of 12 by GROWN MEN, you wouldn’t find it fun. You’d find it boring, wearisome, wearing. When you’re a plain old trans, ten years from now, you’ll get a big old identity crisis on, if you rely on random lechery for self-esteem.
“I bet B*tch [Paris Lees] will come up with a ‘sexy reason’ for foot-binding next. [Female Genital Mutilation], even. Didn’t I hear that a ‘transwoman’ thought we Radical Feminists were fussing about too much about FGM? What price the genital mutilation of a 7 year old brown-skinned girl child when THE MOST IMPORANT THING IN THE WORLD is big white blokes having their cocks cut off on the NHS?
She also called another commenter who questioned whether the comments had come from the real Julie Burchill a “BELL END”.

Paris Lees wrote the piece for Vice Magazine
She went on: “No human who did not grow up as a girl can call themselves a woman. Any more than a white human can become a black human. Delude yourselves all you like, but in the way you lot harass born women, your bully boy side always shines through. And no amount of lipstick and plastic tits can cover that up.”

If you've ever seen a pic of Ms. Burchill, you'd know why she's so angry and hates men.

Cat calls from men for her are pure fantasy.

Put her photo up next to anything she writes and suddenly it's comedy.
I don't think she knows what it's like to be a woman.

This is over a year old - why post it now?

Because of the recent comments she made about Kaitlyn Jenner.

Trans-exclusionary radical feminism (or TERF) is a subgroup of radical feminism characterized by transphobia, especially transmisogyny,[2] and hostility to the third wave of feminism. They believe that the only real women™ are those born with a vagina and XX chromosomes.[3] They wish to completely enforce the classic gender binary, supporting gender essentialism.

The term "TERF" is not used by those in the group, who consider it a damnable slur, and think of themselves as perfectly reasonable radical feminists[4] (and, indeed, the only thing that should be called "feminism"). Some radical feminists, second wave feminists, and lesbian feminists/political lesbians (groups known to contain TERFs, though they are not necessarily all TERFs) have spoken out against transphobia and transmisogyny within their ranks.[5][6]

TERFs (and SWERFs) are a tiny subset of feminism,[7] but an unduly influential one: legislators seeking feminist input will often get an academic TERF, who will then get transphobia into law.[8] Their doxxing,[9] trolling,[10] picketing,[11] and generally abusive behaviour has earned them the title of "Westboro Baptist Church of feminism"[12]; because they are to feminism what the WBC is to Christianity.[13] They are, in short, a hate group that by no means represents mainstream feminism.[14]

Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs)
Out of respect for actual RadFems, the trans community has stopped supporting the appropriation of the radical feminist identity by what is essentially a hate group. Thus, we instead use Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs).
