(cont'd from yesterday's post)
This author (yesterday's post) is strongly left-wing and feminist, but she's furious about her political party's lurch even further left for the normalizing of transgender. So she calls herself a TERF and defends the concept.
If there is no such thing as a biological woman, if any man can be one if he wants to, then (she feels) all the progress that has been made for women's rights is threatened. Common sense would say, for instance, that "trans women" with male bodies should not compete against biological females in sports.
She's obviously right about this. She stands against the "gender identity" movement that says sex doesn't exist or doesn't matter, calling it harmful and regressive.
A celebrity who shares these TERF convictions is J.K. Rowling, famous author of the Harry Potter series of books. She says, “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased."
