I'm not sure I'm quite understanding this and would like some input. Owen appears to be agreeing with Mark Steel's argument in the Independent that takes the sarcastic view about privileged white males 'feeling' something is true so it becomes true. I agree with Owen and Mark that this is the case, so why doesn't it apply in the case of trans as far as Owen is concerned - I haven't seen Mark express a view anywhere? I'm not trying to be critical of trans or trying to equate it with racism, just wanting to support the fact that Owen cannot understand how women's rights are being eroded or how women feel because he isn't one. twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/1221410552448155650

But if a privileged white male says "I'm a woman", he is no longer a privileged white male, he is a member of the most oppressed group of all: trans.

Fancy you not realising that, OP.
