I shocked by the comments that trans women should respect the 'women only' space. They ARE women. That is bigotry pure and simple.

They're saying something very nasty and bigoted about trans women, and what's even worse, they're trying to make it seem that their bigotry is part of feminism, even though most feminists would strongly disagree with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6012567804471995366.post-36281181956466370412012-05-18T15:46:05.024+01:002012-05-18T15:46:05.024+01:00I personally think rad fems have every right to th...I personally think rad fems have every right to their own space.
