Nope. She’s a mouth piece for TERFs.

What does that mean? I have to admit, there is no argument I find less compelling than “X says things that I associate with a group I don’t like.”
-
She’s a trans woman who makes bad faith arguments (e.g. “trans women are men”, “trans women are erasing lesbians”) that are primarily promoted and supported by Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists. These arguments are deployed to harm trans people.
-
What makes you think the arguments are in bad faith?
-
Because they’re primarily strawmen. There’s very few trans women claiming to be female, or that they have an XX chromosome. And this writer has a history of partnering with TERFs.

Most people don’t even know what it means to be transgender, male, female, masculine, feminine, etc, including those in the LGBT community. It’s exhausting feeling like no one is on the same page when communicating.
-
How can most people not know those things? They're not all objectively defined, are they?
-
Well, it’s the nature of definitions. All words are hard to define. Problems here are partially due to conflation of “sex” with “gender”

For example, I keep seeing try-hard allies suggesting that the way to support gender nonconforming people is to fight to increase their access to hormonal-surgical transition, proving they have no idea what it means to be GNC

Most people don’t yet know what they are talking about & have yet to nail down proper terminology & definitions. I don’t think people should be forced to adopt a highly flawed & contested language. At least we can make people stop harassing ppl who nonconforming to gender roles

Do you a central issue here is that we're still muddling up terms like "biology"/"body" with mind as if there's proof that they're completely separate entities & with assumptions that one is secondary to the other?

People who are most often forgotten in these transgender debates are those gender nonconforming, transvestites, etc. Nobody wants to talk about us - only those who change our labels and identities. It’s absolutely intentional & suppressive of those who don’t pursue transition
