RoyalCorgi - hwat she said was "I self-identify as a woman who won’t go down quietly" which I think is her making a joke of the concept of self identity, but emphasising that the trans bullies wont make women like her give up.
And yes, very interesting she got this published. I wonder how much of it is a change in attitudes re trans, or whether it is part of the Guardian supposedly being a supported of free speech in universities.
She got in phrases like "sex based rights" and a paragraph on the biological reality of sex: "The radical insight of feminism is that gender is a social construct – that girls and women are not fated to be feminine, that boys and men don’t have to be masculine. But we have gone through the looking-glass and are being told that sex is a construct. It is said that sex is merely assigned at birth, rather than being a material fact – actually, though, sex is recognisable in the womb (which is what enables foetal sex selection). Sex is not a feeling. Female is a biological classification that applies to all living species."
I am not a great fan of her as a writer. I think she got too sucked into the working class girl made good, look at me in the Guardian, shoing off.
But irrespective of that, just terrible that she and others have been harassed and bullied online, and children threatened. Funny how the police never seem to turn up at these bullies houses and arrest them for hate speach.
