Trans and cis women both fight for the right to their own bodily autonomy and they have the same major opponent in common: Christian conservatives who want to tell them how they’re allowed to live their lives. There’s exactly zero correlation between trans people having rights and Roe being overturned, which…

It takes a lot of insight to rip off the X-Men AND reject the whole inclusive message that was the point of that.

This is fucking stupid. No one is getting rid of the word “woman.” “People who menstruate” and “women” were NEVER synonyms.

Well, that’s not true, obviously, unless your definition of “men” doesn’t include trans men for some reason (who are men, by definition), and besides that is not the point. The point is “women” have not been erased from these discussions, even though, even from a purely cis perspective, describing them as “women’s…

No no no. The only way women will ever be equal is if we reduce them and define them exclusively with regard to their anatomy and biological function.  

I’m arguing that “erasure” of the words “women” and “woman” is not happening, as evidenced by the fact that the two organizations highlighted as having done this in the op-ed arguing against this supposed phenomenon routinely use those terms in talking about those issues. I’m also arguing that the terms you’re…

Ummm…I have too, both of the examples I pointed to did use that exact, more inclusive, more accurate language. 14 year old cis girls get pregnant, so abortion is not only a women’s issue, women eventually stop having periods, so issues affecting periods don’t affect all women, etc.). They also commonly used the less…

Yes, they are. Words specific to women, like “women” and “woman” are not being erased. One of the examples Pamela Paul used in her idiotic op-ed about this was the Lancet’s coverage of menstrual issues, which included the phrase “bodies with vaginas.” But the actual article uses the word “women” throughout…

Comparing the outrage from the right and the left is interested if a bit dishonest.

Nobody is “erasing ‘woman’ from our lexicon.” Not wanting to abuse a word in defense of a patriarchal version of gender essentialism isn’t “erasing women.”

When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman – and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones – then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside.

Woman who wrote book series where boys traipse through a girls’ bathroom on multiple occasions insists that allowing anyone not assigned female at birth into a girls’ bathroom constitutes an unacceptable threat to girls and women.

Rowling definitely deserves to be stuck with scumbags like Bari Weiss for the rest of her career

Rowling’s entire career is her pretending to be insightful

You’re allied with the people who overturned Roe v Wade. Kind of a sticky problem for TERFs.

If you are able to notice somone in the restroom is trans, the pervert is not the trans person...the pervert is you, the creepy cis gender wad sneaking peaks

Every time I see that bathroom nonsense I always wonder what public restrooms these people are using that have someone posted at the door checking genders on the way in.

Also men just attack women all the time in public places. They don’t need to throw on a skirt and infiltrate the ladies room at Target to do it.

“I do not walk around my house thinking about my legacy. What a pompous way to live your life, thinking what will my legacy be,” the author says during the first episode of The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling. “Whatever! I’ll be dead! I care about now. I care about the living.”

Thank you! 🫶🏾🎉💜
