I know it’s Vox, I know it’s not a ‘reputable’ news source, but this is hilariously bad.
Main points:
- TERFs calling themselves ‘gender critical’ are akin to white supremacists calling themselves ‘race realists’.
- Women are oppressed based on gender identity and not biological sex.
- Most ‘decent’ feminists include trans women in their movement, but a horrid bunch of conservative-allying pro-life supporting homophobic white supremacists don’t.
- GC feminists Who rely on ‘science’ have abandoned the idea that chromosomes determine sex (this is news to me)
- GC feminism is mainly a UK phenomenon and is ‘whipped up’ by the horrid Mumsnet site. Everyone else in the world is lovely (apart from those far right pro-life conservatives).
- GC feminists cite a tiny number of high profile cases to whip up fear and hatred of trans women.
- GC advocates bully people online, especially on Twitter.
- GC academics have a terribly large amount of power and influence.
