Turningpurple could not have put it better myself.
I was raised by a feminist woman who instilled feminist core values in me from a young age, however in my adulthood she's been shown to be a more liberal feminist who sees this particular issue as a non-issue, or perhaps cares less in her older age.
We're poor as chips and have voted Labour entirely in local and general elections. We're still poor.
I've personal encounters of the negative side effects of the TWAW mantra and it's highly important to me that women are recognised in law as adult human females, but it's also really important to me that I can eat, that I can feed my son, that my mental health is taken seriously, that my employment rights are upheld. But how can my sex based rights at work be upheld if people can merely identify into women? After all most of my work grievances so far have been because I am, indeed, a woman. From issues during pregnancy and pregnancy loss to maternity leave and even my job posting after maternity leave and breastfeeding.
Who do I throw under the bus? My family? My nan, who is 70 and still works full time to support us, the poor working younger generations? My mum? My son, who's education and access to additional support relies heavily on acknowledging we're a working class family, or women?
I'm so glad what has been said, got said. I'm just troubled it came out of Boris.
