Transgender author Torrey Peters makes history by being named on Women's Prize For Fiction longlist for her novel Detransition, Baby
UK Daily Mail ^ | March 10, 2021 | Emma Powell

The Women's Prize for Fiction has made history by including a trans woman in its 2021 longlist.

Torrey Peters has been listed for her debut novel Detransition, Baby, months after organisers faced fierce criticism for announcing entries will be accepted from anyone 'legally defined' as a woman.

Detransition, Baby follows trans women Reese and Amy as they attempt to navigate forming an unconventional family when Amy de-transitions to become Ames and fathers a child from an affair with his boss Katrina.

men pretending to be women, and women pretending to be men,

are an insult to all people

and an insult to both intelligence, sanity, and common sense

Torrey? I would think “No” would be more appropriate.

These Lib women just invited a Wolf into the Henhouse.
He may try to look like just another Hen, but he’s going to act like what he is, a man. Soon it will dawn on them, that so many Trans-Women are winning all these prizes.

The real Kool-Aid drinkers will think silently:
“Now, how did THAT ever happen and should I feel guilty for not really liking it?”

This is the result of believing in the “trans women are real women” nonsense. But far too few feminists have the courage to say that the emperor has no clothes, so I hope they enjoy this crazy period they helped create.

The madness will continue until every last leftist billionaire lowers their carbon footprint to zero.

Until then they will pollute the planet and the culture.

This is for David, er, Torrey Pines with the big hands and the man glands...whose prior 2 novels are said to be nothing more than deviant pr0n.

"Polls show the transgender ideology is deeply unpopular, especially among women and parents. In 2017, former President Barack Obama told NPR that his promotion of the transgender ideology made it easier for Donald Trump to win the presidency ."

How does one detransition?

You IS or you AIN’T.

Now they want legally defined identities flipflopping back and forth?

Words and legal definitions mean nothing anymore.

Anarchists won.

wordplay

tran- sexual - an unnatural change in sexual (norms)
de-transition - transition (norms) is an unnatural state one must de-program and de-tatch from

If she doesn't with first prize, it proves transphobia.

No more natural born women allowed. Not even blue haired lesberals.
