While I'm personally not in favour of abortion, the fact that roadblocks are "still" being thrown up in front of it suggests that feminism has ground to build upon. And yes, women's rights being compromised for transwomen does also suggest that feminism has work to do.
Gender is a social construct, so treating the world as being "Post Gender" does women no favours, especially if the importance of (biological) sex is overlooked.p


Btw I've never specifically called myself a feminist, so if my being "not for" abortion might seem at odds with the rest of what I've said, then suck it

When I was younger I used to add 9 months onto my age and happily explained why to anyone who asked

I was just young and free thinking I guess ..

It does seem odd to celebrate when you make an appearance to the world when you’ve been living , breathing , listening and experiencing sooooo much whilst inside the womb .. .. you don’t suddenly EXIST when you pop out ..
