Quoted

"It comes down to essentialism, and essentialism, as Suzanne Moore rightly
pointed out in a recent Guardian column, is always conservative. Stubborn
gender essentialism - the belief that your body and your hormones should
define everything about your life - is what women have been fighting since
the first suffragettes unrolled their green and purple sashes. For
transphobic feminists, though, it all seems to boil down to an obsession
with what precisely is inside a person’s underpants, which is at best
intellectually vapid and at worst rather creepy, unless you happen to be
into that sort of thing. "

The gifts just keep coming!
Choice is to stay in the dark oppressive past, or move...........
