She identifies as a feminist.

Why does identifying as something only work for some people? Mystery.

And men aren't actually women.

Does she say she's a transphobe? As you believe that everyone is who they say they are, if she didn't say she's a transphobe she isn't one, and if she says she's a feminist, she's a feminist.

If you support rapists being placed in women's prisons, but you want to get picky over the wording of this article, do crack on.

"The opening sentence is "My name is Susan Dalgety, and I am a feminist." What facts did she get incorrect there?"

Transphobes aren't actually feminists, so there's that.

I mean, if you can't even get the basic facts right....

@Shizuku

"My name is Susan Dalgety, and I am a feminist. I believe that human beings are born with either male or female sex gametes (egg cells for women, sperm for men). "

Actually, sperm production doesn't start until puberty. I mean if you can't get even the most basic biological facts right in your opening sentence, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the article.

The opening sentence is "My name is Susan Dalgety, and I am a feminist.".

It's really interesting the way the Scottish Elections seem to be making people lay out their cards on the table. Very useful.

I really hope people are listening

Yet another good read. So many powerful articles around.

Yes, it's not "fear of the unknown" that drives us. Women know exactly what men do to them.
