Feminist Writer Says Caitlyn Jenner And Other Transgender Women Are Not Women.
Germaine Greer, the second wave feminist best known for her 1970 book The Female Eunuch, accused Caitlyn Jenner of "stealing the limelight" from the other women of the Kardashian clan in an appearance on BBC2's Newsnight.
During the interview, Greer said that "misorgyny played a big part" in Glamour magazine's decision to award Jenner their woman of the year award.
She also defended previous statements in which she claimed that trans women were not "real women" via The Guardian,
"She also refused to back down from her position that transgender women, who have begun life as men before undergoing surgery and hormone treatment to become women, are not women, saying they do not look like, sound like or behave like women"
Greer's statements prompted a petition circulated by Cardiff University students. The petition, aimed at having Greer barred from giving speech on campus, was started by Racheal Melhuish, women's officer at the Cardiff University Student Union. It claims that Greer has "demonstrated time and time again her misogynistic views towards trans women, including continually 'misgendering' trans women and denying the existence of transphobia altogether"
By Saturday, the petition had more than 800 signatures.
In response to the petition, Greer told the Guardian:
"I don't really know what I think of it. It strikes me as a bit of a put-up job really because I am not even going to talk about the issue that they are on about.
What they are saying is that because I don't surgery will turn a man into a woman I should not be allowed to speak anywhere."
Despite both controversy and petition, Cardiff University said that it would not cancel Greer's speech, "Our events include speakers with a range of views, all of which are rigorously challenged and debated," a university spokesperson said in a statement to the New York Times.
Greer's comment on trans women very much echo Elinor Burkett"s controversial New York Times Article, "What Makes A Woman". The two seem to share a kind of gender essentialism in which biology, and the experiences that often result from that biology, determine gender identities. It's weird and inconsistent perspective, particularly for second-wave feminists like Greer, whose ideologies are ostensibly underpinned by deconstructing the very idea of fixed and never shifting gender.

See A Village In America Where The Yoruba Culture Is Being Practiced.
This is Oyotunji village in South Carolina. The community was founded by a black American named Walter Eugene King who was born on October 5, 1928 in Detroit,Michigan, USA.
Eugene went to Cass Technical High School and got fascinated by the African culture. He also exposed to the Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe at the age of 20 which increased his love the African culture, particularly that of the Yorubas.
On August 26, 1959, Eugene became the first African born in America to become fully initiated into the Orisa-Vodun African priesthood by African Cubans in Matanzas, Cuba. This marked the beginning of the spread of Yoruba religion and culture among African Americans.
With a few followers, and after dissolution of the Order of Damballah Hwedo, Eugene founde the Sango Temple in New York and incorporated the African Theological Arch Ministry in 1960. The Sango Temple was relocated and renamed the Yoruba Temple the same year.
In the fall of 1970, Eugene founded the Yoruba Village of Oyotunji in Beaufort County South Carolina, and began the careful reorganization of the Orisa-Vodun Priesthood along traditional Nigerian lines. He was initiated to the ifa priesthood by the Oluwa of Ijeun at Abeokuta, Nigeria in August of 1972.
He was named king of Oyotunji community in 1972 with the designation, His Royal Highness Oba(king) Ofuntola Oseijeman Adelabu Adefunmi 1, born Baba Adefunmi. He later died and his son, Adefunmi Adejuyigbe took over as king.
