I don't argue with definitions any more in the whole gender-critical/PoMo trans activist thing. It gets absolutely nowhere. https://twitter.com/white_feminist/status/913762024252780546 …

Most liberals simply don't think definitions should be enforced even if they personally define gender one way or the other.

Many are quite happy for ppl to define as feels right, coz it doesn't affect anyone else &it just isn't essential to oppose it at every turn

But that's on a very basic level. Many also know & care about trans ppl & they have enough shit to deal with as it is. Why make life harder?

I think science will explain trans identity & why trans people can't feel any other way but it's not required to apply liberal ethics.

And a lot of radfem stuff comes from a place of women as perpetual victims &trans women as part of a patriarchal plot to victimise them more

Which is nuts because women as a 'class' are doing pretty well in the western world. Trans people, not so much. There's much to do here.

Many broadly liberal people will differ with me on this & that's fine. I think a majority of us are happy to just leave ppl alone.
