Thanks for sticking up for women, Steve. Guys like T just don't get it. I'm just finishing up some edits on an article about misogyny and regressive feminist blindness for a Canadian feminism website and while it isn't specifically about male invasion of women's spaces it mentions them.

What bothers me more than the actual abuse of gender rights itself is all the idiot women and regressive lefties who actually *support* this nonsense. Like the so-called feminists on Medium who scream blue murder about Trump's or the Supreme Court's or MAGA misogyny, but can't see the problem in their own backyard.

This past week I researched the 'erasure' of lesbians in the LGBTQ community, who are being pushed to have sex with penised transwomen and are told they're 'transphobic' if they don't, that some women have penises. It works on the younger, less experienced ones who don't know how to set boundaries.

The inability to recognize the gross abuses of sexual predators in the LGBTQ/trans community points to a much bigger misogyny problem on the left than many are willing to admit. The 'War on Women' ain't just for Republicans.

" Guys like T just don't get it"

Believe it or not, T is a woman. I've spoken with her a few times before. It blows my mind how often I find myself arguing this side of trans issues with women. Which isn't to say that it happens incredibly often, but simply that I'm shocked it happens at all. Short-sightedness is the only explanation I can think of. Because they never put forward a compelling argument.

Yeah, the "cotton ceiling" talk is some of the most openly misogynistic bile I have ever seen. I can't believe anybody in the trans community would dream of standing behind it. And I can't believe how completely the concerns of T rule over LGB in the media. Imagine if there were a group of men telling lesbians they're bigots because they don't want to have sex with them. Imagine how eagerly they'd be eviscerated by the press. Especially in the age of #metoo.
