Worth following @janeclarejones's comments on what the "end game" is for the gender-critical. I am sick of the misrepresentation of feminist women (and their allies) as "evil". At some point everybody has to ask themselves: Who ultimately benefits from such a misrepresentation? https://twitter.com/janeclarejones/status/1068663754966147072 …

I call them terfs when they are terfs. It's pretty straightforward.
-
You call who "terfs"? What are the criteria?
-
Supposed feminists who exclude transwomen. Its right there in the acronym. Straightforward.

1 Why do you think women exclude TW from their fight to liberate women from from men? 2 Are "terfs" exclusively women? For example, would you include me (a man) under that label? 3 Do you think it's fair for us men, Frank, to label women "terfs" when they don't agree with us?

1. I wish I knew why they got those confused. Probably just bigotry but I'm sure there's some variation. 2. Men are feminists too so yes, obviously. 3. They fit the criteria so yes, obviously.

Why jump to "probably bigotry"? I didn't get it a year or so ago either but my first thought was not "they're probably bigots" it was "I should try to understand their concerns". So, what do you think the concerns are? Men can be feminist allies only. It's a misogynistic slur.

1 - I recommend reading this https://sexandgenderintro.com/ for an untangling of the issue. 2 - 95% of the time the label "terf" is aimed at women concerned with preserving their sex-based rights, and has a dehumanising effect. E.g, it's the new "witch", e.g, 3 -https://terfisaslur.com

Without getting on my high horse I've looked at this horrible conflict for a year now. My recommendation? Listen to women - especially women you - a man - (don't forget that bias) don't instantly agree with. This is mostly life long lefty campaigning women pushing back remember.

Jack, you are a top fucking egg. I'm putting you in the feminist dictionary under 'how to nail this male ally business.' xx

It should... But I'm not holding my breath. Some men have been waiting for an opportunity to get one over on uppity women for their whole lives.

It's so clear that they don't think transwomen are women. They never, ever fight so hard for actual women.
-
...and, they’d think trans women were acceptable as ‘relationship material’ (as the Lib Dem politician said)
-
Oh yeah, that tweet has become legendary, lol.
-
I discovered that tweet fairly recently. I’m amazed it’s not referred to far more frequently
-
It's up there with firewomon's one to Owen Jones asking if he'd eat transman pussy. Weirdly, he thought that was offensive and homophobic, unlike when men do it to lesbians, which he doesn't mind at all

I haven’t seen that one

I can just imagine his little Morph face getting redder and redder
