| Chaimo said: Hello all :) My english isn't the best and I fear that my points won't come across I'd like to but I'd still like to address those who agree with Rowlings view on the subject or those who don't differentiate between gender and sex. Contrapoints made a video about TERFs and I think it also holds alot of arguments against Rowlings Statements. Please watch it if you want to learn more about this issue. It's well made and quite entertaining too :) Spoiler!

Since we're hearing these criticisms of gender critical feminists, I thought it might be useful to also include a short speech by a noted gender critical feminist (a more principled and weathered one than J.K. Rowling I mean) as well so that we might actually get a perspective from a veteran of this movement on their own terms. To that end, below you will find a speech by Meghan Murphy, who owns the Feminist Current web site you may have noticed I link to sometimes. It was given at the Toronto Public Library late last year amidst large demonstrations outside, mostly by trans activists disingenuously associating her with, of all things, the Trump border wall and "fascism" and "genocide" and other assorted hysterical claims. The trans activists had called upon the library to cancel the event because of who the speaker was. (It's a movement that I think you'll find struggles to tolerate concepts like free speech, dissenting views, and dialogue.) Every ticket sold. The video includes only the speech itself (not the Q&A that followed and such), which keeps it just under half an hour. I picked this one because I've found it to be Murphy's best and most succinct talk on the subject of gender identity. Without further adieu:
