Call yourself a feminist? Our transgender columnist Juno Dawson's here to see if you really pass the test

And calls women who don't "TERFs". Thanks, Glamour and Jo Elvin, thanks a lot.

I would not even pander to him with 'them' or 'they'.
Attention seeking idiot.

One of the comments has baffled me.

Taking the physical aspect out of the equation, there is real evidence that people with one Y chromosome have brain structures more similar to those of people with two X chromosomes, and vice-versa.

He must be pissing himself* that women are so fucking stupid that not only will they pay him to write boring, badly written self-obsessed articles but now they're paying him to slag them off.

  • Sorry, not pissing himself obviously. Doing a little wee.

That just shows how ignorant misinformed some trans allies are Devi

Juno Dawson has been a transwomen for, oh, a whole 12 months now, so she's clearly better at this feminism lark than those of us who have been feminists our whole fucking adult lives.

Fuck off, Glamour. You could tape a fucking Faberge egg to the front of your mag as the free gift, and I still wouldn't fucking buy it.

I love how they think they're so edgy and righteous.

yes Venus so edgy. And brave enough to move all the way to Portslade! Of course there are no transpeople already there, no none at all....Hmm

Oh ffs, this is seven shades of wrong. Fuck OFF with the denial of basic biology already.
Still, I agree that the comments are good.

I wonder what Glamour will do with them?

Probably commission a story about how they were appalled at the Transphobic bigotry they witnessed in response to this amazing, brave WOMAN and how they are proud to stand with transwomen.

i.e. buy our rag please transwomen, cos real women buy Glamour magazine.

Alsô loving the comments - yeah for uppity women!

Juno can fuck off with his mansplaining. Hope he's watching this thread

I wonder how many TW buy Glamour? Why do they have such contempt for the women who pay their salaries?

As a woman who actually really likes make up (bad feminist I know) and considers it both a hobby and an art - I still say Juno can fuck right off.

Passed from generation to generation indeed. Aye, right. My mum didn't teach me a thing about makeup, neither did any other female relatives. My DD might learn about it from me in the same way she learns about other things I enjoy, not because it's some female wisdom she needs to learn.

Wow, Juno is now making vague legal threats on twitter to women who have called out this bullshit.

Well done, Juno! Off you trot to your lawyer!
