To the small group of women, many of whom have platforms to protect, who are intent on throwing other women under the bus.

1. That a small number of transitioned trans women have been using women's spaces for a long time is not the same as the impact of a new rights movement


that demands that *anybody is a women only on the basis of self-declaration* and explicitly includes cross-dressers under the trans umbrella. There was less than 5000 people who received a GRC. The estimates of the numbers of cross-dressers in the male population is around 4%.

Also: generalizations are always a very bad idea; they lack analytic depth.

I also had people read the Christian Identity thread, and then write to me to ask:

"I heard a politician open his/her remarks with the name of God / Jesus, and it worried me. Is he/she a Nazi?"

Okay, let me stop you RIGHT there.

The answer here is not ā€œevery Christian politician is a Christian identity Nazi, and every mention of ā€˜the words ā€˜Jesus’ and ā€˜God’ is the ā€˜Christian Talibanā€™ā€ (or whatever Islamophobic term is in current use).
