@Ereshkigalangcleg

Why is this person constantly pontificating on this in the Guardian?
Don't they have a soon-to-be-published book? One that will probably have Finn interviewed by Woman's Hour way ahead of Helen Joyce or Maya Forstater?

@Leafstamp

Finn Mackay is not on my mental list of allies, thought I can't quite recall why.

Although ...I've just checked Finn's twitter profile and Dr Finn self describes as a queermale.

So that's probably why.

It is because she's TWAW?

I think Dr Mackay is thoughtful, way more precise than most commentators, and actually feminist. Well worth a read and share.

I'm not at all sure why Finn Mackay considers self to be the person to end what are described as the 'wars'. Or having much insight into radical feminism.

I tried. Really. But all the shite about identities and portraying young people as progressive for slapping labels on themselves - nah, not for me.
