I support the specific aims of the TERFs because it is reality based common sense. What I don’t accept is the claim that feminism bears little or no responsibility for the madness. Second wave feminists adopted the premises of gender ideology pretty much from the get go with Simone de Beauvoir’s anti male women are not born argument. It was very convenient for the cause of liberation to agree with lunatics like John Money and say boys and girls are interchangeable constructs. More currently, gender studies departments tell us a la Judith Butler that gender is pure performative theatre. So now drag queens are ‘trans’. All of this sort of nonsense is baked into feminism since it was seen as serving the cause. Liberate women to be exactly like men with a bogus philosophy and guess what, you get men claiming the same! So I don’t buy that this is some sort of fight against the usual misogyny and ‘patriarchy’. The TERFs don’t seem to care at all about the explosion of Rapid Onset affecting young girls and the devastating damage to their health and wellbeing as a result of ‘gender affirming’ care, because that’s nothing to do with men ‘invading’ women’s spaces. Gender ideology is madness for everyone. More feminism is not the answer.
