Helen Lewis is a good journalist. But she is obviously shit scared of addressing this directly. I have heard her being gender critical on the New Statesman podcast and then in the next sentence says, but I believe transwomen are women'. Totally dishonest. She should leave it well alone if she is too frightened to go there. She has my sympathy - we all know the shit women journalists get for talking about this. As it is, she is called a TERF anyway, so she might as well finish the half processed logic in her head.
She's also been writing a book on feminism, which is not going to go down well with anyone at all if she doesn't get off the fence.
I like her though, she's funny.
