It is about trans issues though
Again, I disagree. The many threads are about how women’s rights are threatened. For the past 5-6 years that threat has come mostly from the extreme trans lobby. That’s why it’s a hot topic here.
Perhaps when you use ‘issues’ and I use ‘rights’ we are discussing different things. That would be worth knowing.
To reply to your earlier question, women’s sex-based rights can be—and are—threatened by many other groups. Various cultural norms, religions, governments, and let’s not forget the unorganised group that is male pattern violence, which threatens everyone.
Right now, in the Western democracies and certainly in the UK, the conflict between female rights and trans rights is more pressing to me because the erosion or elimination of those rights will make other female rights—globally and culturally—more difficult to fight for, let alone uphold.
I welcome more voices in the feminist section of MN. I look forward to the many topics—nay, the deluge—yet to come.
But I will not be told that being gender critical is about “trans issues.” It is not. It never has been.
