Germaine Greer was almost burned at the stake for saying similar... I 100% agreed with her, which at the time didn't go down too well on here.
This is not progressive, women for years have fought against their not perceived but actual disadvantage, it's not unreasonable to highlight that trans-gendered females have not cultured their womanhood from birth.
I'm not a 'TERF' which like 'PC' is a nonsensical term invented to mock those who wish to further the dialogue from what is being pushed as the preferred view of the majority.
The appointment was in my opinion a major error, you cannot push the rights of one marginalised group by denying the another.

TERF is just another insult aimed at women tbh. Its used very much in a 'burn the witch' way. Its telling that there is no slur for men who believe biology is relevant.
I was well and truly 'woke' to this when I got into a twitter argument where basically all I had said is that transwomen and women are not the same, and that we do actually need sex segregation as in other countries with none, there is more opportunistic sexual crimes committed by men against women. I recieved literally about 15 threats of rape, a message telling me a transwoman is a better woman than me as they have firm tits and not a 'baggy fanny' as they have not given birth. Apparently men would much prefer to shag a transwoman as their bodies are better and they are more feminine than actual women
I also received 3 death threats, and had one person telling me they would search my previous tweets and such and find out where I lived. I ended up abandoning the account as it was so scary. This is the state of the debate around this today. Though their tagline is 'no debate' because they know their arguments are flimsy and pathetic and do not stand up to scrutiny.
The treatmnt of Greer is disgusting. A few feminists get it too. Julie Bindel is attacked regularly and the transactivists even made a site up about 'Julie Bindels genitals'
