“Transgender claims can affect all our lives. Once biology and the history and experiences of what it means to live in a sexed body is rejected, there is no touchstone especially for children, who are left with the confusion of picking a gender. This confusion encourages a regression to sex-role stereotypes because it’s the sex-role markers that are out there and easier to grab onto, the confusion ratified by the effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. If you like trucks and want to be a fire fighter, you’re a boy. If you like dolls and dress up in frilly clothes, you’re a girl.”

“Trans activists cite the risk of physical harm to self-declared women in men’s spaces as one justification for appropriating women’s spaces, yet trans activists have no concern for natal women and girls who need our own safe spaces now threatened by legislation. If trans-identified women are afraid of men’s spaces and increasingly being protected by legislation, why don’t women who have been subjected to male violence throughout our lives, get the same legal protection.”

“Women have learned a lot about life through our bodies. Our life history has been lived in our sexed bodies. Dworkin knew that the ‘learning’ women gain from our lives is not some feeling, essence, or ‘ineffable idea’ that men can claim. This learning about a woman’s life is not driven by biology but also not detached from our biology, a material condition in which our bodies help shape the circumstances of our lives. Our bodies are the sites of our oppression.”
