I should know better than to read news articles about trans rights.
They're all idiot 'feminists' saying things kind of like 'if you dont think someone can be a woman just by saying so people call you transphobic'
and, yes, yes indeed, for that is transphobia, ffs.

any argument that people identifying as women will break the idea of women as a protected category that experiences discrimination
is completely bizarre
because guess who experiences discrimination? people who identify as women!

and it doesn't wear off if they're trans
it just stacks with other forms of dumb
like transphobia.






If they want to have a discussion about harms that might come from trans women
they need to start with actual facts about actual trans women
and discuss reality

making shit up and then trying to base laws on it is
... argh.



I hate that newspapers don't ask the right people on this one.
a single thread on mumsnet is not worth the column inches.

real feminism supports all women
without making up tests for what defines women
because isn't that what we're complaining about?
