Call yourself a feminist? Our transgender columnist Juno Dawson's here to see if you really pass the test

And calls women who don't "TERFs". Thanks, Glamour and Jo Elvin, thanks a lot.

The comments are brilliant. Joan brooks especially taking no prisoners 👍

BratFarrarsPony · 04/11/2016 20:10

I bet it was you lot that wrote the most recent comments....:)

GiraffesAndButterflies · 04/11/2016 20:10

Oh ffs, this is seven shades of wrong. Fuck OFF with the denial of basic biology already.
Still, I agree that the comments are good.

mintthins · 04/11/2016 20:09

Thanks for sharing that. I found the comments really quite life affirming.

HumphreyCobblers · 04/11/2016 20:07

The comments are utterly fab. Well done.

ArcheryAnnie · 04/11/2016 20:06

I love (most of) the commenters. I wonder what Glamour will do with them?

BratFarrarsPony · 04/11/2016 20:02

yes Venus so edgy. And brave enough to move all the way to Portslade! Of course there are no transpeople already there, no none at all....Hmm

StatisticallyChallenged · 04/11/2016 20:00

I got DH to read the article. I now need to go pick his jaw off the floor!

venusinscorpio · 04/11/2016 19:56

I love how they think they're so edgy and righteous.

ArcheryAnnie · 04/11/2016 19:50

Juno Dawson has been a transwomen for, oh, a whole 12 months now, so she's clearly better at this feminism lark than those of us who have been feminists our whole fucking adult lives.

Fuck off, Glamour. You could tape a fucking Faberge egg to the front of your mag as the free gift, and I still wouldn't fucking buy it.

LyndaNotLinda · 04/11/2016 19:38

Arse. Bold fail

ageingrunner · 04/11/2016 19:32

That just shows how ignorant misinformed some trans allies are Devi

LyndaNotLinda · 04/11/2016 19:31

He must be pissing himself* that women are so fucking stupid that not only will they pay him to write boring, badly written self-obsessed articles but now they're paying him to slag them off.

  • Sorry, not pissing himself obviously. Doing a little wee.
DeviTheGaelet · 04/11/2016 19:24

? !!

DeviTheGaelet · 04/11/2016 19:23

One of the comments has baffled me.

Taking the physical aspect out of the equation, there is real evidence that people with one Y chromosome have brain structures more similar to those of people with two X chromosomes, and vice-versa.

BratFarrarsPony · 04/11/2016 19:18

I would not even pander to him with 'them' or 'they'.
Attention seeking idiot.

OlennasWimple · 04/11/2016 19:17

Awful article - so lacking in self-awareness and dripping with entitlement. Great comments

Yy to Jo elvin for a webchat, but I doubt she will want to...

LyndaNotLinda · 04/11/2016 19:17

If if Juno is going to call me Cis and terf and tell me how I should be doing feminism, there's no way I'm going to pander to them with female pronouns.

Mozfan1 · 04/11/2016 19:17

Lynda 😂💩

Datun · 04/11/2016 19:16

I sincerely hope the comments are from elsewhere - it can't just be us, surely ?

LyndaNotLinda · 04/11/2016 19:16

I love how he only does 'a little wee or a poo' like his shit has suddenly become all dainty and feminine now he's started wearing mascara.

Fuck off Juno

TheJiminyConjecture · 04/11/2016 19:12

I'm guessing many of the beautifully articulated comments are from posters here.

Thank fuck for the comment section.

Jo Elvin, sadly, is no brain box....she seems to struggle with the English language in the piece above, with word salad such as:

"I ultimately got fired....I was soon after made Editor of New Woman"

Such a shame because Glamour has a huge circulation and having someone at the helm with some intellectual wells could only be a good thing.

icantbelieveitsnotchristmasyet · 04/11/2016 19:02

Jesus, not read Glamour for a while but did used to like it on a train journey etc, but I certainly won't ever be reading it again. Ffs what are they thinking?!?

If you have a penis please don't lecture me about feminism.

ageingrunner · 04/11/2016 18:49

Somehow, how could it be?!
Yes, yes you are less of a woman. In fact by any scientific definition, you are not a woman in any way.
