I stand with Ms Murphy. About the medical scandal of children on puberty blockers, of course. But, more, pointedly about rejecting the label TERF. I think it’s time we reclaimed “women”. The widespread acceptance of trans activist labels like “identified at birth “, “cis”, use of pronouns, misgendering, deadnaming, biological woman, and TERF is mystifying. It’s all trans language. I won’t use any of this language because who controls language, controls thought (someone ....Orwell? said that). Just as many people are confused by the term “transwoman”, the term TERF is also going to meaningless to them. So we are speaking to ourselves. I likewise think “radical feminists” can be a quite uncomfortable identity for many women and men. These labels reduce or put off the number of people who would otherwise join us. I realize I may not agree with women who are don’t support reproductive rights or a raft of other things, but this is a crisis and we need to get back to the critical mass of people who reject magical thinking and are grounded in the reality of 2 sexes, who are willing to say out loud “Transwomen are not women”. And thanks for the tweet to Ms Murphy. Spot on.
