[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why she keeps wading into this particular issue. It’s coming across as a hangup or fixation. Does she not have 400 things to do? [/quote]

She seems to think that the growing acceptance of trans rights is negatively affecting biological women’s place in society and also her involvement with domestic and abuse charities. Though I’m less clear on how that works for the second one.

Time for the older women to have several seats if they can't understand intersectional is the way things are now.[/quote]

It seems that it's the younger feminists who don't understand that.[/quote]

Intersectional means seeing the differences and advocating for what each group needs. It means acknowledging that black women and latina women and gay women and transgendered women all need specific advocacy and that we lift one another up in support of that advocacy. It SHOULD mean acknowledging the realities of biological sex and calling them what they are, women's issues.[/quote]

In theory, but in practice it usually means telling all white women and/or light-skinned women to shut up, denigrating their experiences by calling them all privileged and mocking them for any hardships they experiences, and sometimes using antisemitic tropes and language to denigrate second-wave feminists, etc. [/quote]

I am the PP. I agree with you, sorry if that was unclear. [/quote]
