When push comes to shove on the gender battlefield
from TCW:
If you haven’t read this yet, it’s a gem and will brighten your day. The Mail on Sunday, to which full credit must be given, highlighted the latest manifestation of the gender wars.
Its report of a 60-year-old woman being shoved to the ground in a punch-up between transgender activists and their extreme feminist rivals in Hyde Park is a lesson in identity politics madness.
A group identifying themselves as the Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists had taken issue with something called ‘trans activism’. The feminists’ beef is not that trans ladies lack genuine female biological attributes but that they can’t claim to be women as they’ve not experienced patriarchal oppression. You heard. At least I think that’s the problem.
Anyway it was Jenni Murray’s point when she asked a while back: ‘Can someone who has lived as a man, with all the privilege that entails, really lay claim to womanhood? It takes more than a sex change and make-up’.
