I don't get the division on this sub. If someone provides the right message, support their message. If MTG is crazy, then I am crazy too and proud of it. Chances are that the same tactics that the WaPo is using to characterize feminism as a transphobic movement have been used to make MTG out to look crazy to the public. I don't trust the mainstream media as it is no longer, and perhaps never was, honest journalism. I will never subscribe to the WaPo.

I'm the OP and I completely support MTG's message regarding biological sex.

I just wish she'd put "sex" instead of "gender," because no one actually can say what the new-fangled definition of gender is, including the Democrats, who want to have "gender identity" trump "sex" under the law.

And, for my entire adult life, I have picked and choosed what I wanted from each party, but most often land on the Left. Not that the Democrats are actually the Left...

This effort by the Washington Post is an attempt to conflate MTG nuttier theories, some of which came directly from her, with GC feminism and GC feminists, even though biological sex being dimorphic is the only thing we agree about.

This is a common tactic among those who wish to discredit a movement, and so those of us who feel strongly enough, should try to counter the WP's effort to discredit us by commenting on the article and make clear that GC feminism has nothing to do with bringing guns into the Capitol building, (was that her, or that other one?) and is only a movement to acknowledge that biological sex matters and to protect women's rights/safety/dignity/privacy and sports in terms of opposition to the Equality Act as written.

Gender is pretty much just a fashion choice. We need to focus on sex as the defining characteristic that determines spaces and sports leagues. I'm old enough to remember when trans people were called transexual and were having "sex change operations".

Exactly.

That's why Americans need to stop the Equality Act and similar legislation, including all the stuff the gender lobby is sneaking through on the state and local level!
