This article is from last October, so this author isn't worried about "everyone getting cancelled right about now."

Also, it should be possible to criticize this article without bringing in ad hominem attacks and anti-woman slurs. It says something that you consider yourself incredibly open minded, yet don't extend that to include women who dare question the liberal mainstream.

Sometimes you've been around hubski long enough that you should realize the context of who you are, and who you're contradicting, on what specific topics. i don't agree with threats of violence against any group of people, but I also don't agree that "TERF" is an anti-woman slur. In fact, I'd say to be a TERF is to make an anti-woman slur.

AND LET'S ADD, it's to be utterly paranoid and self-gender-obsessed, like, for life. talk. about. gatekeeping. the marginalized class self protecting by further leaning on an even more subordinate class.

Just because some people wrote it on the web doesn't mean it's a sane viewpoint. Even if they are female-identifying.

It seems reasonable to me to reject a viewpoint that widely misrepresents scientific consensus and advocates against peoples' bodily autonomy, a position that goes against much of feminist thought. I'm heavily in favor of criticizing "the liberal mainstream", but if I found my criticism being supported and amplified by conservatives opposed to queer rights, you bet I'd be taking a long look in the mirror first.
