Maybe because things seem bleak at the moment, but I feel like this might be one of the biggest violations of women's civil rights ever. To be fair, I was born in the late eighties in the US, which was apparently the best time and place to be a girl, so maybe I'm being a bit hyperbolic. At least when women were treated as little more than property everyone knew why they were women.

I'm much older than you and I think what's so particularly vile about this is that never in a billion years would all those brave women who fought for women's rights over the centuries ever imagine that the way women's rights would be defeated would be by men claiming that they are women too.

I know, seriously. I never thought I would have to actually look up stuff to debate why males, especially convicted sex offenders, don't belong in female prisons. Or why me and Elliot Page should be part of the same biological classification and not me and say, Sarah McBride or Charlotte Clymer. 😖
