Helen Joyce wants to eliminate all trans people because she perceives them to be a problem for society and a threat. She has said as much in her books, interviews, publicly, and in every way possible to prove that she wants trans people to be treated with rejection and hostility so they will be deterred from existence. Joey continues to promote this woman as if she is some kind of arbiter of a greater truth. In actuality, she represents the very worst of human bigotry and hate-filled rhetoric. Here is the unedited quote (in context) taken directly from her. She is a hateful woman who hates trans people and should be ignored for the bigot she is.
“And in the meantime, while we’re trying to get through to the decision-makers, we have to try to limit the harm and that means reducing or keeping down the number of people who transition,” Joyce said.
“That’s for two reasons – one of them is that every one of those people is a person who’s been damaged. But the second one is every one of those people is basically, you know, a huge problem to a sane world.”
Joyce continued: “If you’ve got people – whether they’re transitioned, whether they’re happily transitioned, whether they’re unhappily transitioned, whether they’re detransitioned – if you’ve got people who’ve dissociated from their sex in some way, every one of those people is someone who needs special accommodation in a sane world where we re-acknowledge the truth of sex."
Like the evolution of thought in this piece as you weave new information and perspectives with your own uncertainty.
Very informative and timely article. Thanks for the honest examination of the issue.
Again a great piece. I very much look forwards to its followup.
