"You can't challenge the gender role binary by upholding the gender role binary."

I was going to quote lots, but actually, it's all so important that would do her a disservice. It's quite brilliantly argued. She talks so clearly and simply about complex subjects. I'd already linked to her a few times with her piece on male-centreing being so culturally accepted that it's seen as outrageous when women fail to do it, and this is, I think, just as important. It covers all the key areas - reading this feels like someone has downloaded my brain, and organised my thoughts into a more coherent and cohesive form, right down to the commentary that this is a secular religion, and while deserving respect and courtesy in the way all faiths do, should not be allowed to dictate the lives and behaviours of those who do not share it. She articulates lucidly all that is most troubling about the wider implications for safeguarding, too, and with calmness and understatement. Just such a good piece.

Ah, thank you! I was astonished there wasn't. I love her work.

Very well put. Excellent on 'gender'.
I was with her until the section on grooming by transwomen, where she makes allegations that aren't substantiated and without even the suggestion that court cases are pending. Confused There's a lot wrong with how some mature transwomen treat their families, and that's well documented, but the grooming allegation needs a lot more to back it up.
