A statement regarding eligibility for the Women's Prize for Fiction.pic.twitter.com/WRGBtQmSCf
Honestly horrified by the bile this has received. A welcome and overdue clarification that goes a small way to addressing some of the transphobia in this industry
With many arguments that racists use(d); "You weren't born here, so can't be British. I don't care if you have citizenship, you never experienced childhood as a Brit, so you're never a Brit in my eyes". "I don't mind them, I just don't want to share a locker room" etc :(
Labour already treat TW as in every way preferable and superior to women. Because they're men. ONLY males can possible BE 'transwomen', or else they'd just be 'women' and none of you 'liberal woke blokes' would give a shit what they had to say.pic.twitter.com/NLsuo8DplK
The backlash to the Women's Prize started because everyone listened to the complaints of a non-binary author they identified (and that you would identify) as a "woman"
No. Thr backlash started because the 'non-binary' writer declared the question about her sex was transphobic and then legions of people discovered an award previously given to women was now available to men. And they were rightly pissed off
They don't only listen to men. They'll listen to anyone who supports the line that TWAW and that sex is irrelevant.
Okay, so the previous assertion was incorrect I appreciate the retraction
I think you're deliberately obsfucating. TRAs will not listen to women who present a dissenting view, AKA defend their rights.
Yes, I understand that your whole thing you do is redefining "women" to mean "me", you don't have to explain it
That's not a redefinition. That IS the definition
I'm pretty sure I know hundreds of women who aren't you.
