This was a good write-up for the most part, but I did not like the false equivalence and the caricature of GC arguments at the end. I wonder what the author means by this:

As much as there does seem to be, in the extreme arguments put forward by certain sections of the transgender movement, an element of misogyny, there is, too, a whiff of misandry coming from some of Forstater’s supporters. As a woman who grew up in the ’50s and ’60s, I think I have a more tolerant view of what my two daughters call The Patriarchy. And my, doubtless old-fashioned, acceptance of a more traditional female life puts me slightly at odds with the kind of feminism that Forstater and the ‘Terfs’ expound.

What exactly is a "traditional female life"? What kind of feminism does she think we're espousing aside from GC views? It is not like we are all a monolith that thinks exactly the same. This reeks of "I am not like the other girls."

Hey lady (author, not you WA),

The misandry comes from these LARPing F-ers appropriating our oppression and biology and colonizing our safe spaces.

In fact, most of us terven weren't out fighting The Patriarchy until The Patriarchy V 21st Century decided to erase us.
