    This is frequently discussed among radfems. Many of us will continue to vote for democrats, because at least they still support legal abortion. I know of a few who will vote for conservatives/ republicans because at least THEY aren't trying to change the definition of "woman"- and "women's rights" don't exist if "women" as a sex class don't exist. See- nursing mother lost discrimination case because men can lactate too Some said they would not be voting at all and they felt politically homeless.

    See also the controversy surrounding feminist organizations such as WOLF working with conservative orgs like heritage against transgenderism. Some feminists support it, others are against it. Unfortunately conservative outlets are the only ones nowadays that will even host this kind of content :/

    As a conservative (I guess), the whole trans/feminism drama seems so moronic, and I am really no fan of either movement. Why not just craft legislation that treats people as individuals? And define gender/sex as biological. Seems that would solve a lot of problems.

    That's the liberal position, but sadly, there aren't many liberals left.

    In the UK that is the current law, but we have powerful LGBT lobbying groups giving "advice" to various institutions. They are purposely misrepresenting the law on sex-based rights, and censoring any pushback on social media. TRAs lie and either say trans women are not protected under the law or that they are, and women are trying to prevent them from accessing spaces they are entitled to. All their stats are junk. They have the backing of google, twitter, Facebook, reddit, etc. Right now, Google is tying to intervene with UK politics. It's disturbing.

    In the UK, autistic so-called "trans" children are being experimented on with hormones and surgery. Free speech is a joke, people are being fired. Trans rights activists have captured institutions and are wrecking the lives of many, many people. That's what we're fighting against. Men, women and children are, and should be, protected by current law, but in reality our rights are being flouted; speaking out against it makes us BiGoTs.

    Personally, I'm pretty conservative. I know most of the women I speak with aren't, but who cares? We are united by the same goals: protect sex-based rights, safeguarding of children and free speech.
