I agree with niamh.
Also I’m not a big fan of those whole “you have a similar opinion to person X on this, so therefore you’re automatically a bigot/homophobe/terfs/racist etc” thing that the super left people tend to do. It does more damage than good |
It's interesting how people supporting JK come from all over the political spectrum, while hating on her for being a female-focused feminist seems to be a left wing thing.
|
Yeah her essay was cited as a reference for a republican politician trying to oppose lgbtq+ protections for housing and employment. That’s really when you know you’re on the right side of history, when you become an ally to the anti lgbt right wing

When it comes down to it, females' rights to single sex spaces, and transwomen's rights to use female spaces are incompatible. She's a feminist, so of course she'd prioritise the former. She's never shown any indication of wanting to take away other LGBT rights. |
...wonders what type of feminist I am..I don’t ‘hate on her’...and neither do many other people../left/right or centre...male to female are female as well and a part of equality in consideration and inclusion of female...

i find it difficult to comprehend that thousands of people can physically hate someone and wish death on them from a single text snapshot on the web.

You can treat transwomen as women, in fact you should, but when it comes to sex-based rights, there is a bit of a conflict with single sex spaces. Some women are happy to allow transwomen into their spaces, but some aren't. Both views are valid, but it hinges on if they want to uphold the rights of females or transwomen. |

NikkieTutorials i have always recognized as women, even before her coming out as trans (which i was surprised about given how feminine she just looks already) i find Nikkie looking more feminine than Caitlyn (and yes i've only since recently started accepting Caitlyn as a women, but that was more because i knew her for such a long time as Bruce Jenner, the olympic champion athlete) so in Caitlyn's case i wasn't being transphobe, but it was more down to the fact i knew her as Bruce for a longer time, so i needed time to get used to seeing now as Caitlyn in the media |
To be fair, when we're talking gender identity that's where there really SHOULD be a distinction.
"Man"/"Woman" is a social gender term and thus open to interpretation; the idea that a man can become a woman is fine and certainly, the idea that gender roles are almost entirely social constructs seems quite likely. "Male"/"Female" should be reserved as biological terminology because, otherwise, there IS no meaningful biological terminology and that presents a whole host of problems. So a male can be a woman, but a male can't become female. |
