When Feminism Excludes Trans Women

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]Trans people are one of the most discriminated against groups in 2026, and that's coming from a black male.

[00:00:07]Conservatives want to make it their life mission for some reason to abolish trans rights in legislature and just day-to-day life.

[00:00:17]And I find it really, really abhorrent because there's not even that much trans people to begin with. Obviously, there's millions, but if you take the percentages in account, there's not a lot of trans people. It's a minority group. So, the fact that a lot of people want to make it their life mission to tear down trans people is disgusting. And my content has always been geared to support the people who are discriminated against, and trans people are no exception. But, one of the biggest faults of the people who are transphobic is that these aren't only just white conservatives. These are people who claim to support women. These are people who claim to be feminists.

[00:01:01]And that's why today I wanted to really make a video about radical feminists or TERFs or whatever you want to say that are transphobic, that do not support trans women in any way. So, that's what we're going to talk about today, but first, let's roll the intro. This is where Marshall talks about stuff following.

[00:01:22]This is the Marshall show, show, show.

[00:01:25]This is the best show, the Marshall show, the Marshall show, the Marshall show, the Marshall show, show, show.

[00:01:33]This is the best Marshall show.

[00:01:37]Welcome back, my sexy niche community. I want to make this video because a lot of people have been asking me to combat a lot of radical feminists' take that has to do with being transphobic. And I've been pretty hesitant, not because I'm scared, but because I am a man who is privileged, and I really don't like tearing down any feminist because I feel like it's not my place to do so. But, as somebody who has dedicated a lot of their content to support trans rights, when you're hateful towards trans people, I feel like I have a small responsibility to combat that. So, that's what I'm going to try to do in this video because there's no way I could condense all this information in less than 2 minutes. So, I'm going to really try my best to combat the points and hopefully have some kind of breakthrough be connected to these people who are transphobic. I think it's important to break down what these radical feminists actually believe in and why they're transphobic towards trans women in the first place. And I think it starts off with the idea that trans women can never actually deal with the actual oppression that cis women deal with. I think they say that oppression towards women is a very special, or I should say specific, experience that only cis women deal with, and you can't duplicate that, you can't replicate it, and you cannot claim to have felt that oppression as a trans woman. I also think that they're gender abolitionists, so they don't even want to uphold any idea that gender is a thing to begin with. I don't think they believe that gender is a innate thing, and I don't think they believe that people can just say that they identify with any gender at all. I also think that the TERFs believe that trans women are just men who want to infiltrate women's spaces for sexual deviancy or just harassment in general. So, I'm going to try to break down these few points and give you my perspective and what I think about it. So, I think the issue with trying to describe a woman's identity with the oppression they deal with is that you're single-handedly upholding this oppression. And I feel like if we get to a point where women aren't oppressed, then I feel like the implication is that the women who are born after that, you know, fact won't be women. I feel like if you dumb down a woman's identity to the oppression they deal with, then how are we going to proceed as a society where that oppression eventually withers away?

[00:04:11]And you now have to understand and describe what a woman's identity is. You can't be transracial, but it reminds me of people in the black community who would claim that if you are born into privilege and you are with white people and you are with black people that you're not black.

[00:04:32]And I feel like that's one of the most hurtful stigmas for black people because, like, you can't say that someone isn't black because of the oppression that they did not deal with.

[00:04:44]And if we live in a utopia or a society where oppression isn't a thing, you wouldn't say that these people who are born black aren't black just because they don't deal with that discrimination. I feel like that's a bigoted take to have, and I think that upholds the bigotry that you are trying to fight in general. Like, if a trans woman isn't a woman just because they aren't oppressed, then are women who aren't oppressed in the future women at all? And that line of thinking is only really valid with the implication that trans women are not oppressed at all, which is not true. In fact, they deal with the oppression of being a woman and oppression of being trans in the first place. And the only reason that certain trans women would not be oppressed like women is because of the narrative you're trying to spin yourself where these women aren't actually women. That hurtful narrative is the reason why a lot of trans women aren't oppressed the same way as women are in the first place. And when I say women in this video, I'm not saying, like, you know, regular women, quote unquote. I'm trying to use the verbiage that a lot of these radical feminists use because they like to try to dissociate women and trans women. But, obviously, when I say women, I mean cis women, women who aren't trans. I feel like that whole idea is so stupid anyway because there's a lot of trans women that do get oppressed as a woman.

[00:06:11]Because, obviously, if you're walking down the street, somebody who passes a trans woman will be treated as a woman because a lot of people's idea of a woman is visual. And a lot of trans women are cis women passing. And I hate to even use this verbiage in this scenario, but I'm trying to really use the same exact ideology as these radical feminists have. The point I'm really trying to make is that the only reason trans women wouldn't be oppressed the same way cis women would be is because of that narrative, like I said earlier.

[00:06:43]It's because they are not accepted as women. If they were accepted as women, if you weren't transphobic, they would be dealing with very, very similar oppression. And I think a lot of people claim, "Okay, no, they won't because cis women are expected to birth children, and trans women would never be expected to do that thing." And I feel like that's, one, not true, and two, I feel like we get down to the point where a woman's identity is their biological ability to give birth, which isn't true.

[00:07:15]And I hear a take that a lot of TERFs have when hearing that one idea that, obviously, a trans woman, or I should say a cis woman's ability to give birth shouldn't be their identity. I hear a lot of people say, "Hey, well, if there is cis women who can't give birth, they are still a woman because of the actual oppression that is put down onto them for not being able to bear a child." But, I feel like that is very flawed as well because that would imply that trans women wouldn't be oppressed for not being able to bear children, either, which is not the case, and you can see it's not the case because you're doing that said oppression. You yourself, as a radical feminist, is saying that women, or I should say that trans women aren't women because they can't birth children. You're saying that with your line of thinking.

[00:08:09]That's the reason why these trans women do share that oppression with cis women because cis women who cannot bear children and trans women who cannot bear children are both criticized and oppressed for not being able to do so.

[00:08:25]And to me, this whole point is mute because why are we even attributing someone's identity to oppression in the first place when the whole goal is to remove oppression from these discriminated against groups. We don't want oppression to be a thing. We want to get to a point in society where people aren't oppressed. So, why are we defining somebody's identity by their oppression when we're trying to work towards removing it? I feel like the implication would be, "Okay, when oppression is gone, then these trans women would be women." But, I don't think that's the case. I don't think these radical feminists believe in that.

[00:09:00]And to go to the next point about, you know, trans women just being men who are trying to infiltrate women's spaces, if that is the case, if there are trans women who do that solely to infiltrate women's spaces so that they can harass them or sexually assault them, then they weren't trans. These are just random creepy men who are doing something that's despicable. But, to bunch up all trans women as being these predators who are trying to infiltrate what That's That's so transphobic and disgusting.

[00:09:31]It's not even a really a point I can give merit to. It's obvious that all trans women aren't just weird predators.

[00:09:38]That's the same talking point stupid alt-right conservatives use to try to make you feel like you can't have trans women be next to kids or something.

[00:09:47]Like, that's so not true. The statistics back that up, and I feel like to even imply that is completely inconsequential. And the last point I want to get to is the idea that gender will be abolished at some point. I feel like a lot of people actually attribute gender to gender roles or the idea that gender roles needs to be strictly upheld. I think that a lot of people have to understand that we do want to get to a society where gender roles isn't creating some level of negative effects. I always say that gender roles are social norms or whatever aren't necessarily a bad thing. They're only a bad thing when you uphold them so strictly that you start causing bigotry.

[00:10:31]But just because there's gender roles that are negative doesn't mean that gender in itself cannot be a thing.

[00:10:38]People have identified as as a gender for a long time now. It's not something that just sprouted out in 2026. And I feel like personally that I am a man. If I got switched to a different body that was in a female's body, I would know I'm a man regardless. You can't take away my innate ability to identify as a man.

[00:11:00]That's not going to be a thing. It's not like in a thousand years I'm not going to feel that innateness in me. That's something that's an identity that I align with. And you can't just be like gender will not be a thing. You can say that gender roles will eventually not have any merit, which is completely fine. But to say that gender in itself will just be abolished, that isn't a thing that I see happening. And I don't think that women's oppression can only be eradicated with the abolition of gender in general. I think at the end of the day, if these radical feminists who are transphobic would actually stop being transphobic, then it would be a betterment for women in general. I feel like this whole entire idea that trans women aren't women and they're predators or etc. only hurts women.

[00:11:49]Because trans women are women.

[00:11:52]And I feel like there's no trans women out there that wants the worst for cis women at all. So I feel like the infighting is extremely extremely inconsequential and I think it's very negative and damning for the movement in general. But I am a man. So I'm I want to tread this topic lightly and if whoever is watching this wants to put their two cents in the comments, I really really really urge you to do so. Because I'm not a trans perfectionist. I don't know, you know, trans ideology. I'm not trans at all, right? I'm just a trans ally who's trying to put out my point of view to remove bigotry. So if I got anything wrong or if you guys want to add anything to the comments, I urge you to.

[00:12:33]And if you want to correct me, if I said anything incorrect, I urge you to as well. I am not, you know, too good for criticism. But thank you guys for watching this Martial Show episode. It was a little tame. It was a little It was a little calm. But I thought this deserved just a really blank, you know, straight-up explanation. So thank you guys for watching the Martial Show. I will see you guys next time.
