And in my experience whenever women's rights (to anything) are raised someone will come along and say "that's not top priority, can't you see X is more important", as if only one issue can ever be addressed at one time. I don't think we should buy it!

If one champions women’s rights, there are far bigger issues affecting *many* women. If one cares about women’s safety, in particular, my focus would be on cuts to local government, restricting victims’ access to shelters. Or low police prosecution rates for rape.

Or low wages and precarious that curb women’s economic autonomy. Those are all big issues hugely affecting many women in Britain today, increasing their vulnerability to violence & other forms of abuse.

Sure as I said, there are many issues. I dont think it helps though to give up the word (& analysis) that reflects there is oppression affecting female people. Why redefine this group as having adopted an identity 'woman' or sharing a mystical internal feeling of womanhood?

I agree - but the doctrine of gender identity says that it is having a feeling of gender identity that makes you a woman.https://sexandgenderintro.com/trans-issues-and-gender-identity/ …

well if you agree, don't do it then. Whatever bullshit some people come out with, you don't need to imply that trans women's sense of identity is mystical nonsense.

I am not implying that. What I said is that WOMEN do not share a common internal feeling of womanhood. Women share a common biology. People's internal feelings are their own, but it does not change their sex.
