What? This appears to be Judith Butler on Foucault which doesn't relate to my tweet.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking about radical feminists on campus. Butler happens to be just up the street so she came to mind.
-
You think Judith Butler is a radical feminist? They are completely opposed. The radfems are nearly always gender critical and do not accept trans identity. That was their complaint about campus SocJus ideology.
-
Butler is not "gender critical"? This is big news.
-
Gender critical in this context means that they think what makes a woman is her reproductive system. They are trans exclusionary & consequently hate Butler. I cannot explain the difference between those feminists known as 'TERFs' & Judith Butler.
-
I think a few things are conflated there. Generally speaking, I think approx. all of the (mutually disagreeing) people you are talking about draw a sex/gender distinction and that trans exclusion is (for most of them) in sex-exclusive contexts.

What? Jesus. I don't have time to introduce you to the war between the trans activists and the gender-critical radfems. In fact, I don't have any more time for you.

I used to lean left but became exceptionally disillusioned by the stark fundamentalism of the left and it’s belief in its inerrant correctness. I turned right and saw it repeated. Now, the two are mirror images of each other. Fundamentalism kills progress by suppressing speech.
