Because otherwise this is the logical end of feminism and women's rights:

"White says after living part of her life as a man and part as a woman, she believes she unequivocally receives more societal privilege as a woman than a man. She says as a woman people are kinder, care more about her feelings, and are more willing to sacrifice on her behalf. ... I don’t get male privilege now; I get female privilege,” White says. “I think we have to challenge this narrative that always puts women into a victim status and men into an oppressor status.”

...

Fucking hell. It's beyond paradox.

I can't put my words into thoughts because I'll get banned from Mumsnet.

Paradox? Parody!

Not my experience of being female really. I think this person might have confused being treated as a women with being treated as a super special male that must be coddled at all costs.

Yes, I'll bet people are super-cautious. I would be; you can usually sense when someone's vulnerable or trouble-making (or both).

Why is a Transwoman leading a men's rights group?

Short answer: er because "she's" a man?

expect to get deleted for this

Contemporary third-wave feminists, they say, often argue that gender is a purely social phenomenon, and that male and female brains are not fundamentally different. If that’s true, these trans MRAs say, how is it that two people born and socialized as men could intrinsically know they were women?

Good point these trans MRAs raise. If there really isn't a female brain, they are male. Makes you think...

Blaire White would agree with you on many issues.

She is of the opinion that gender dysphoria is a psychological condition (she has described it as a mental illness); she considers herself as a trans woman not a woman; she makes no attempt to hide her previous identity; she is vehemently opposed to the transitioning of children; she has no truck with the idea that lesbians should be attracted to trans women and is strongly in favour of free speech.

Theryn Meyer gave evidence at the hearings in Canada prior to the compulsory pronoun bill (she was against it) and tbh presented a far better case than Megan Murphy.

Both are targeted by trans rights extremists.
