Hi everyone, I've written this piece looking at
Why has a conflict arisen between Transactivists and Feminists? What should a Marxist approach to this issue be?

I am hoping it is going to be the first in a series of articles on this issue. I'm working on the second one at the moment.
I'm hoping this article helps to give a left-wing perspective on what is going on, and highlights this issue to people who might not otherwise be aware of it. I would say the public in Ireland has been generally less aware of what is going on as press coverage on the subject is very limited. A lot more seem to be talking about it though since JK Rowling spoke up.
I've been a long-time member here but haven't posted that much in the last year but read the board regularly (I've name changed) The Mumsnet forum actually woke me up to what was going on. I had no idea we had self-id until I read about it here.
