"The TERF answer is: women are adult human females.
The queer feminist answer is: why are you so invested in sounding like a livestock registry?"
Wish I'd said that. But don't worry, I will.
Once again I find myself bumfuzzled. Are Trans Folk somehow oppressing people? How can that be? They're a small group, and largely vulnerable. Doesn't seem like they have enough power to be oppressing anybody.
I don't get it. As usual. What's the big TERF objection to the existence of Trans Folk? Because it invades their She-Club? Muddies the water? I don't see where it does. Treating someone as they want to be treated doesn't cost anything. And what's in their pants or skirts is none of my business.
Absolutely fantastic piece. You laid out the problem and the proper perspective beautifully. You got me to think more deeply about my own viewpoint. You deserve every bit of the surge in readers that you’ve been getting. I’m so glad I found your work through Nan Tepper.
"Yes, rape, forced birth, and medical misogyny happen to bodies. The word is to. These things are done to bodies by systems of power. " The question you evade is: to whose bodies? The answer: bodies with vaginas and uteri. Commonly known as women.
Yes, and? People with uteruses (no need to be pretentious - the proper English plural is 'uteruses') are part of the category of women. Not all women have uteruses. Not all people with uteruses are women. You're like the child who insists that "animals" only includes mammals.

What an astonishing piece of writing. I have already forwarded it to my children.
I like throw cushions. 😊

Thank you for describing the distinction.
