Excellent article! What is upsetting is that I’m being put in a position to either accept or reject transpersons yet my being a woman and a female-born lesbian (I am not a “cis”) is not!
Many feminists and other liberals, people who have been proud to be leftist, know that gender ideology is built on a flimsy base that is beginning to crumble. And it can't happen fast enough!
Using power over and force is not the answer. To listen how someone feels about themselves is better than telling them who they are. Telling people who they are rather than listening is using power over.
We seep to be so messed up. In my own hometown an 25 year old man being charged with 2 counts of sexual assault - in the bail hearing - now identified as Stephanie.
I hope the swing come back soon...I'm terrified by the dogma and intolerance.
Thank you for writing this. After a lifetime on the radical left as a second wave feminist and a champion of gay rights, I have been getting shouted down, doxxed, cancelled, and banned from writing on almost every site as well as social media for openly stating the obvious: women are oppressed BECAUSE of our biological sex, and if biological sex is no longer protected, then women are without protections, as are homosexuals.
Men, often with backgrounds in military or with a history of violence, especially against women or kids, now have a loophole and full backing of law to do great harm and then be excused because they claim to be transgender, and judges are letting them off because their crimes are considered to be the result of this “ailment” that is now protected as a disability under the ADA.
I honestly believe this was pushed into legislation by conservatives who wish to undo many things at once, as it is a brilliant strategy that is working wonders to undo women’s rights, gay rights, as well as eroding public trust and funding for public schools which are all pushing this on kids who can be taken from parents who do not support postmodern, transgender ideology.
This movement does not seek reasonable accomodations for people identifying as transgender. If that were the case it would not be punching down at women, while claiming there is no definition of a woman.
I have noticed the definition of man is not being discussed. How convenient for the patriarchy.

Looking at the date, at first I thought it was Nov 2022. Holy cow, you wrote this more than a year ago.
