It is literally not my word, in that I have never used it. I also would not classify myself as a radical feminist, whatever that means. Or are you now saying that all feminists are just one huge entity, all with the same beliefs, actions and language? Because that is not sexist at all.

Really? Then who forced the cancellation of “The Vagina Monologues” at Mt. Holyoke? Isn’t that silencing women? This was a groundbreaking play, that finally allowed women to talk about our bodies in a way that Was never heard before. And now it cannot be performed, even in a women’s college, because it offends the…

Except in the ways that it isn’t. I am strongly pro-gay marriage. I consider myself an ally to gay people, and have helped, in my own small way, to change attitudes. But people involved in gay marriages are not now demanding that traditional marriage now be called “cis marriage,” in order to distinguish them from…

Because to my mind, they are not moving the ball forward. They are taking what isn’t theirs. And I am sick and tired of being called an old lady, an old feminist, or some combination of the two. I am sick of the bitches on here who keep wishing for my death. There is nothing wrong with being old. There is nothing…

Why can't your daughter just wear nail polish and dresses because she enjoys them? What does acting like a boy mean, anyway? Why can't she act like whoever she naturally is? Why does it require a gender change? Is that what you have taught her? My daughter doesn't like nail polish at all. Guess that means she's not a…

Yes. We can and have defined womanhood, and I resent the idea that the definition needs changing because some men wish it. A woman is someone who has XX chromosomes, and usually possesses a vagina, ovaries, a cervix and a uterus. Usually also breasts. If you don't at least pass the chromosome test, then I'm sorry, but…

I get it. I so wish that I was born without the big hips that seem to run in my family, and I would give up a lot to have Elle McPherson’s body instead. Truth is painful. I am truly sorry about yours. But having pain about a biological fact does not change it. You have your pain, and your experience as a victim of…

And if I proclaim myself to be Napoleon, should you also treat me as though I am? Because really, what is Napoleon, and who are you to tell me that I'm not him, if I say I am? Idiot.

You really don’t know? Then you are even dumber than I thought you were. Let me tell you a little story, “woman.”

How, pray tell, is this demonstrably wrong? A woman’s lifetime risk of contracting invasive breast cancer is 1 in 8. A man’s risk is 1 in 1,000. Literally. You can look it up. So Caitlyn can enjoy her brand-new boobs without worry, unlike, say, EVERY SINGLE WOMAN I KNOW, who worry about breast cancer so much that we…

You are something else, something new. Or something newly noted and accepted. And you need to find a term to define who you are that does not steal someone else’s name. That is truly my only issue with trans women. Dress how you want to, behave as you wish. I neither hate you nor judge you. Just do not take that…

Such a great response. Succinct, and true. That man who altered his body so that he looked like a tiger was not, in fact, a tiger. (If you’ve never heard of him, Google “Cat Man.” It’s a very sad story.). He did not attempt to change the definition of the word “tiger” so that it included him. He was a sad, lonely man…

I really love the term “gender dysphoria.” It reminds me of a similar term - “body dysphoria.” The difference is that everyone understands that a 95-pound person who insists that they are fat is mentally ill, but with gender dysphoria, not so much. The emperor has no clothes!

And that should be a crime punishable by death. Because old white ladies couldn't possibly have anything of value to say. Only trans people have anything worthwhile to say, and if you disagree, you are a bigot and should be killed. Because calling someone an old white lady isn't bigoted or nasty at all. In fact,…

Yeah, Celebessea. She already told you once. How dare you refuse to sit down and be quiet when given a direct order from Spete? The nerve!

Thank you, Spete. I wondered who was in charge of telling people to sit down and be quiet. Now I know that it's you. In future, I will ask your permission before expressing an opinion.

So true. Such as a bunch of people believing that a man with a penis and XY chromosomes, who has enjoyed and exploited the advantages of white male privilege for 65 years, is actually a woman.

This is precisely my point. Being a woman is about more than boobs and evening gowns, contrary to what Caitlyn Jenner would have you believe. There are all kinds of women, with all kinds of interests. And I think the thing that offends me the most is Caitlyn’s implication that now that she can wear a dress, she is…

Yes, for shame that anyone who disagrees with you should be permitted to speak. I'll just take my lil old girly self back to the kitchen and shut up and fetch you a beer now.

I have never in my life referred to myself as a TERF, so your continued insistence that I call myself this is frankly absurd. I am not a TERF. I never heard the term before today. Since I do not refer to myself this way, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from doing so as well. Or are trans people the only…
