Another incident in watching people play the Left’s game of usurping bodily integrity and sovereignty to levels of absurdity.

Last Thursday, students at Scripps College hosted an event at The Motley Coffeehouse called “Project Vulva” to initiate dialogue about the alleged stigmatization of vulvas in society.

“Why is it that, generally, society is so comfortable with the image of the penis and vulvas are considered taboo?” states Project Vulva’s Facebook page. “In middle school people would scribble penis pictures on the desks in the classroom. There is always that kid who passes out at the party and someone draws a dick on his face.”

Project Vulva’s organizers described the event as “an educational and interactive art show displaying your friends [sic] depictions when we asked them, ‘Can you draw a vulva?’ We will also have cupcakes that you can decorate like vulvas. Supplies are limited!” The event’s stated goal was “to create an open dialouge [sic] educating people about the vulva in order to confront society’s stigmas and stereotypes, and make people more comfortable with the many varying images and types of cis and non-cis vulvas.”

However, the event faced harsh backlash from online from commenters who found it offensive to the trans community.

One commenter, who felt that Project Vulva’s claim that penises are not stigmatized was untrue, wrote that, “[s]ociety is not comfortable with the image of a penis on a woman. This event feels extremely transmisogynistic and to say penises are universally accepted as non-taboo is transmisogynistic. I can’t say I’m surprised though. There are infinitely many ways to celebrate genitals without making transmisogynistic remarks in the process.”

“Right like this entire event is so incredibly violent to trans women specifically. I’m so disgusted,” said another commenter.

“Equating genitalia to a person’s gender is and always will be transphobic,” a third commenter wrote.

“A trans woman is telling y’all this makes her feel uncomfortable and that’s not enough for you to rethink your stance on this? You’re gross, this whole thing is gross, have fun with your ugly cupcakes,” a fourth person declared.

Who can be the best at public signalling their political purity? How far to push the cult view that biological sex is a myth? Not only must we now torture language that we can no longer deal in generalities that apply to over 99% of the population (e.g XY penis is a man, XX vagina is a woman) but we must footnote or disclaim any statement based on that empirical reality.

Oh, yes, the organizers apologized.

“The Motley wants to validate and support the critiques that have been voiced concerning Project Vulva,” the post said. “We are deeply sorry for the hurt experienced by the trans community both in the space of the Motley and on the Scripps campus in general. Being a privileged and exclusive space has long been imbedded in our herstory, and though we have tried and are trying to become an inclusive space where everyone can feel safe and accepted, we recognize that we have failed.”

Mission accomplished.
