This is a passage from Andrea Dworkin’s Woman Hating.
Essentially what happened was that Mary Daly and Janice Raymond realized that they’d get a lot more attention if they teamed up with conservatives. Mary Daly was a weird theologian who wrote woowoo “divine feminine” goddess shit. Raymond was especially vicious and nasty, and closed down places that were doing GRS in the 70’s.
There seems to be a pattern here - I’d connect Raymond’s action to the “backlash” era of the 80’s. When feminism seems to be getting powerful enough, bad faith actors swoop in to distract by trying to hijack the movement into transphobia.
It’s always been a front. It’s amazing how many TERFs claim they love Dworkin, but are unaware of this passage.
Ram Ranch isn’t a real place. There was never a real life incident where the marines caused problems, because as fun as Ram Ranch would be, you’ll have to go elsewhere to find your 18 naked cowboys with their hard throbbing cocks to enjoy group showers with.
