By the very brilliant Louise Pennington.

How can they try to erase the lived experience of violence against women by banning a discriptive term for what is actually happening?

"It is not “cissexist” to talk about the biological reality of women’s bodies and the damage done to them within a capitalist-patriarchy. Frankly, even the suggestion that it is “cissexist” demonstrates a fundamental inability to actually understand the reality of lives of women and girls in our world."

racist??? huh??
really this just all confirms my conclusion that this talk of 'cis' is just a load of rubbish
if these people had any idea at all of the harm done to girls and women and their babies through FGM they'd have better things to do than insult those trying to make things better for real people in the real world.

FFS that's utterly ridiculous.

FMG isn't any kind of ....ist. It's just evil.

No, Louise is still there, but Caroline Criado-Perez has gone. She has been under attack all day on there and she had had enough.

FUCK these transactivists. Seriously. They're making me sick now.

And, the day that CCP published her blog post on anxiety and depression, she has quit Twitter.

It's not enough to label her and other women TERF. They are now labeling her a racist.
