Karlirk: Your position is biased. I only heard you blame Chimamanda, but you fail to utter blame on the other lady despite all she was said to have done. Put yourself in Chimamanda shoes. I bet you would do far worse. 5 Likes |

JohnBullMySon: 21 century feminist is a joke.. We are all human first, before any other thing. She’s who she is because she choose to be. The transgenders are who they’re because they choose to be. She has no right to criticize anything.. Feminist didn’t start like that.. |

Well said. And Transphobic is a derogatory word created by trans people and sympathizers to discriminate against people who don't subscribe to their lifestyle, they want to be free to choose but don't respect others rights to choose differently. .. Lagosianswag: 4 Likes 1 Share |

Karlirk: I read that her article And one thing I got from it is this: "[b]In certain young people today like these two from my writing workshop, I notice what I find increasingly troubling: a cold-blooded grasping, a hunger to take and take and take, but never give; a massive sense of entitlement; an inability to show gratitude; an ease with dishonesty and pretension and selfishness that is couched in the language of self-care; an expectation always to be helped [/b]and rewarded no matter whether deserving or not; language that is slick and sleek but with little emotional intelligence; an astonishing level of self-absorption; an unrealistic expectation of puritanism from others; an over-inflated sense of ability, or of talent where there is any at all; an inability to apologize, truly and fully, without justifications; a passionate performance of virtue that is well executed in the public space of Twitter but not in the intimate space of friendship". I find it obscene. Chimamanda was perfectly right about the attitude of many young people today 2 Likes |

Karlirk: Not to offend you but your point makes me think you didnt read everything. You probably stopped at the first chapter of her very long write up. She never said she wasn’t inclined to helping upcoming people. As a matter of fact, she said she might have her reservations as a human but that she has never withheld her support when needed. Her anger stems from the fact that 2 people whom she lent her support betrayed her and vilified her image. That according to her has led her into regretting having them around in her life. Of course, every human being would feel quite same. Her article is meant to clear the air and prevent falsehood about her from becoming true in the minds of some people. She has an image to protect and she is doing just that. I see nothing wrong in my opinion. 7 Likes |

BarrElChapo: I read everything. I'm still chewing on it though. One thing I know is that writers are usually deeply melancholic and tend to be narrow minded. Quick question: Are we to address a transgender woman for example, as fully woman, when they have missed lots of experiences of womanhood such as adolescence and the attendant puberty etc? These people are baffling me. 2 Likes |

Re: My Feud With Akwaeke Emezi - Chimamanda Adichie Tells Her Side Of The Story by BarrElChapo(m): 4:06pm On Jun 16, 2021 |
Haha that's a good question... the truth is, no trans (male or female) is ever completely changed into the sex which they went for as there remains the presence of those little bits for their former selves, these limitations would always remain and serve as a reminder that they aren't a complete God created version of their new self. To apply it to your question No, they can have the prefix miss, mrs etc of whatever women maybe addressed as but No they cannot be called fully grown men they are more of a hurried experiment.
