"When feminism retreats into exclusionary logics, it cuts itself from the alliances that have historically kept it alive, and people like Trump are counting on that."
This piece was greenlit and then killed by a British newspaper, so I’ve decided to publish myself instead.

It's world philosophy day and my biography of French philosopher Henri Bergson is RIGHT THERE!
In my book you will find out about Bergson's philosophy of durée, his secret meeting with President Wilson during WWI, and why he caused the first ever traffic jam on Broadway!

Trans-exclusionary and “gender critical” takes are extremely prevalent in the British media. So I wrote this with the assumption that many readers might not realise that such views are seen as fringe and extreme by the vast majority of feminists outside the UK (and by many within the UK too).

Almost unanimously every feminist woman I talk to recognizes that trans-exclusion comes from misogyny and being feminist entails supporting trans rights.
There are notable exceptions and it's odd how often the exception is from a loud set of British "feminists" insisting the opposite.

Ultimately the article aims to show that "gender critical" feminism doesn't make women more safe, on the contrary, by serving the agenda of the far right it endangers us
