I am unfamiliar with the author and the site, but I thought this was a good article (even if the author doesn't believe in the gender pay gap!)
Infringing on the rights of others is what causes this dispute to get very real and very serious. I am not a feminist and I don't speak for feminists. They are quite capable of speaking for themselves, as we can see. I also distrust self-proclaimed male feminists and find them to be cringe-making because they are either pathetic or they are con-artists. I don't completely understand many feminist positions and I disagree with them on many things that I do understand. I think the gender pay-gap is a myth. I don't think the world is full of misogynists. I don't agree that every woman can do every job that a man can do. I could go on here but none of it matters because, on this single topic, I agree and understand their position, and it's one that's important and serious.
There is no question that some women have had an extremely rough time at the hands of men. If you don't accept this fact then you aren't capable of having a serious part in this conversation. If you do accept this fact, then you must also conclude that these women, those close to them, or those who feel that this danger exists for them as well, have a natural right to choose to avoid men or to function independently of men when it's reasonable to do so. For example, a woman might wish to go to a gym free of men or use a public restroom that is free of men - especially when you consider the long list of rapes and assaults that have taken place against women, by men in women's clothes, in women's washrooms. A woman might choose to belong to any number of female only organizations or groups. To deny women this right, based on politically-correct ideology, is in my opinion, tyranny. I think that it's reasonable to conclude that the act of unnecessarily forcing women to accept the idea that men have the right, simply because they put on women's clothes, to invade areas where they are not wanted, is to betray a tyrannical and totalitarian impulse. This is what I call weaponized trans.
