The Ferguson Challenge
You've Heard Of The Staniland Question?
The subscribers of this fine newsletter are a bright, hip bunch of folks I have had the pleasure to meet so they know reflexively when I mention the name Helen Staniland and her now famous Staniland Question they realize what I’m talking about.
For those of you new to the game, The Staniland Question above is a question that pisses off many Trans Rights Activists as it lays bare their endgame - yes, they do believe that they have the right to whip their penises out in changing rooms in front of teenage girls and, invariably, none of them ever outright answer “no” or they will attempt, quite lamely, to accuse our Helen of being utterly obsessed with penises.
Or they’ll tap dance around the question and avoid answering it altogether.
Which brings me to The Ferguson Challenge that, after having listened to many apologists (mostly male) telling me that Trans Women Are Women, it goes a little something like this:
This is The Ferguson Challenge: if you believe Trans Women Are Women you must date, fuck and/or marry one because it’s not enough for you to say that Trans Women Are Women, you now have to prove it.
I’d like to take this opportunity to now address Trans Rights Activists everywhere when I tell you all that no man who ever says this - especially if he’s straight - actually believes it.
Oh, sure, they’re going to say exactly what you want to hear but the sad and sorry truth is they are lying to you.
The sad and sorry truth is that they would never date, fuck or marry a trans woman but they’re going to see to it that the rest of us do or else we’re transphobic and our dating preferences are transphobic.
As for you men who make this rather extraordinary claim, I fully expect most of you to back out of this challenge altogether because, quite frankly, when the rubber meets the road it becomes apparently obvious that you have no skin in this game at all.
Yes, it’s true y’all talk a big game but when it comes down to it you’re not at all ready to lead by example and show the rest of us how it’s done.
Now, of course, there’s going to be at least one man out there who is brave enough to take this challenge but what I fully expect from him is he’s going to be a trans ally insofar he likes the look of the trans woman.
I’m going to go ahead and define the terms of this challenge right now by saying you don’t get to have this and call it good because by only dating, fucking and/or marrying a trans woman like this you’re actually being transphobic because you have a preference as all transwomen are stunning, brave and beautiful.
So, in the spirit of Trans Women Are Women, you don’t get to have that. That’s not for you. Instead, you get to have romp with this stunning AMAB (assigned male at birth) Kween!
Oh, you like ‘em skinny do you? This more your speed, chief?
So come on, men - get in there and really sell it! Make fierce, passionate love to these beauties the way you would any woman and ram it on home so hard that the next man who pulls it out will be King of England!
I’m looking at you Neil Gaiman, Stewart Lee, Alan Driscoll, Patton Oswalt, Aiden Comerford, David Paisley (we’ll find you a suitable trans man), Matt Lucas (again, we’ll make the necessary arrangements), that guy from the Wi Spa, and the rest of you men who would never in your life date, fuck and/or marry a trans person but you’re going to call us bigots and transphobes because we refuse.
I, for one, would love to see you do this or do us (and the rest of the sexually healthy normal world) a favor and stop lying to the Trans Rights Activists.
We see you!
Now would be a good time to take out a paid subscription for the low, low price of $7/month or $70 a year (a bargain).
