Is Caitlin Moran GC?

[ImDivingIn]

I’m a big fan of CM. Has she said anything about the GRA? I follow her on Twitter but I can’t recall anything.

WOAH, why would you THINK caitlyn moran is A NASTY ICKY TRANSPHOBE? That’s for BORING people who don’t like FUN. Stop being MEANIES, girls just wanna have FUN whether they have a WILLY or not!

(in all seriousness, i enjoyed the majority of htbaw; i thought it should have been marketed as an autobiography rather than some sort of feminist polemic.)

Irritating on Naked City back in the day, still irritating now.

From a BuzzFeed article from 2013 Why Feminism Can't Afford To Ignore Transgender Women

Many younger feminists seem to grasp that the movement can't move forward if it ignores trans women's concerns. Caitlin Moran, whose 2012 book How to Be a Woman has already become a central text of a certain strain of feminism (and who has been criticized herself for using the word "tranny"), says, "Someone saying to a transgender woman, 'You're not a proper woman because you weren't physically born a woman' is like someone saying to me that I'm not a proper woman because I've had an abortion, or have a job, or can't walk in heels, or think Ryan Gosling looks like a bit of a donk." She adds, "I think the relationship between feminism and transgender women should be absolutely sympathetic, arms-slung-around-shoulders and all-on-the-same-side. We're all gunning for the same thing — equality, feeling comfortable in our own skin, not automatically cringing or feeling unworthy or 'other.'"

The amazing Amanda Abbington is and now I love her even more.

I agree with Little Pearl.

When I first peaked a few months ago I asked that very same question OP.

I was a huge fan (from West Mids too) and have been underwhelmed by the lack of reaction to this colossal issue.

I get it. I see what happens to Glinner, Moyet and co. But if every female spoke out, if she joined JK Rowling, Jo Brand, India Knight, Mary Beard, Sharon Horgan, Emma Watson, Madonna, Serena Williams (just throwing in examples, I have no idea on some of their stances) then what a united force we'd be.

As it stands, I feel let down.

Fantina, I think you're right!

Just looked at her Twitter - retweets of Helen Watts, Glimmer, Frances Barber, Karen White stuff. That's great news.

COME ON all the others......stand up and be counted.

Glinner, obvs.

Yeah.. Can't imagine Venger is going to come out as GC anytime soon. Her twitter is very clean.

Shame.

Little Pearl, and I bloody love her so I'm so pleased!

I’m sure CM’s Raised With Wolves sitcom character, Della, would be a total Terfy McTerfface. CM has too many woke B-right-on mates to bust through the cognitive dissonance.

To be fair, it took me ages too.
