Yes, and that's perfectly fair. All those all-male discussion panels about women's fundamental rights. Utterly aggravating.

But there are an awful lot of ways to write an article about that which wouldn't be... that article.

And the optics are just horrible. I was on the GC/radfem side basically immediately as soon as I became aware of the fight because I could see how each side was approaching it. The TRA side was repellent. My natural inclination was that the GC side's demands sounded utterly reasonable, but I had to check how much they were operating in good faith. Did TRAs' claims about TERFs have any basis?

If there was any significant number of articles like that around I would have been far more resistant to this side. The near-total lack of them gave a lot of reassurance about good faith/intentions and that it wasn't just trans-bashing.

Think about the lurkers/undecideds.

Here in the US, the big issue is that there is no visibility of GC thought beyond, ironically, conservative media.

And, besides WoLF (rad fem Women's Liberation Front) it's been conservative and religious groups and politicians fighting Trans, Inc.

The Democrats, the mainstream and liberal US media, corporations, gay and womens' rights groups, academia -- all of them won't even allow GC feminists, parents and even gay men, a GC voice. NOTHING.

So the vast majority of Americans have no idea that anything is going on, although they're starting to get a clue because of sports, school bathrooms and their churches/mosques/synagogues - many Americans are quite religious.

In the US, IMO, we need to concentrate our efforts on increasing Americans knowledge of Trans, Inc., rapidly and stealthily rewriting US laws that protect women, gay men, parents, free speech, scientific truth and children.
