Cotton Ceiling: Uncovering the trans conspiracy to rape lesbians

by Cristan  

The mere mention of the "cotton ceiling" should send rapey shivers up your spine. If you've not heard of it here's the lowdown from feminists:

Transgender cotton ceiling rapists hold male-only (Planned Parenthood sponsored) seminars, write books, host lecture tours, and endlessly spam lesbian websites and blogs with rape and murder threats over lack of male “inclusion” in lesbian social gatherings, lesbian organizing, lesbian events, lesbian music festivals, and – most importantly- lesbian bedrooms. 1

Planned Parenthood Toronto is helping to sponsor a March 31 conference in Toronto that includes a workshop inviting participants to discuss and strategize ways they might be able to “overcome” women’s objections to these participants’ sexual advances. We believe that no means no, that a woman’s right to say “no” to sex at any time is sacrosanct and that no explanations should ever be requested because none is ever necessary. The name of the workshop proposed is “Overcoming the Cotton Ceiling: Breaking Down Sexual Barriers for Queer Trans Women."

Activists want to force lesbians to consider them as sexual partners. (3)

Sounds really horrific, doesn't it? Transwomen, full of male-privilege, feel that lesbians must submit to having sex with them or else they're transphobic. Right? I mean, multiple lesbian feminists are all saying the same thing. Even Cathy Brennan has a cotton ceiling tag. Certainly these self-identified lesbian feminists wouldn't lie, right? Certainly these self-declared feminists wouldn't purposely misrepresent cotton ceiling in an effort to make ciswomen fear trans people, right? RIGHT?!?


[Cotton Ceiling commenter] you are a male sexual predator, enabling your male predator brethren. Which is why you and all your Cotton Ceiling buddies creep me the fuck out... These dudes in dresses are trying to guilt-trip you into sleeping with them, and name-calling you if you don’t. There is nothing wrong with not liking penises or male bodies, and preferring female bodies. To say otherwise is lesbianphobic. 4

Horrific, isn't it? Planned Parenthood held a workshop to teach transwomen how to make lesbians have sex with them. I want to reread the previous sentence and think about that for just a moment. Then reread the rhetoric about the cotton ceiling. With a straight face, these self-identified feminists asserted that Planned Parenthood taught transwomen how trick lesbians into sex.

Seriously. And you know what? A lot of people believed it.

Here's the reality:

There! See it? It says right there in the description: Overcoming the Cotton Ceiling will explore having sex with lesbians who don't want to have sex with trans people! It says it right there... oh wait... it doesn't say that at all.

Can you guess how many attended this,  the workshop-heard-round'-the-feminist-world?  Was it...
A.250 workshop attendees
B.150 workshop attendees
C.75 workshop attendees
D.50 workshop attendees
E.25 workshop attendees
F.10 workshop attendees
G.7 workshop attendees

If you guessed 7, you'd be correct. Let that sink in for a moment. All of this over a workshop with 7 people.

Care to guess what they talked about?

Would it really surprise you to know that what they talked about was body image and shame?
