Nice to see a Hillary Clinton speaking up and addressing the fact that transgender ideology needs to be examined and debated in regards to how it affects women.
“To repeat, Hillary Clinton – that’s Hillary ‘basket of deplorables’ Clinton – has quite carefully and deliberately said that women have ‘legitimate’ concerns about transgender issues and those concerns should be recognized.
There are those, in the UK and US, who refuse to accept that questions and critical thinking about this issue are legitimate, and who refuse to acknowledge that those concerns are felt across the political spectrum. Even though the organized campaigns to raise those issues, especially A Woman’s Place UK, are mainly driven by women on the traditional left of the Labour party, there are trans rights activists and progressive campaigners who persist in claiming that this is all a confection of the wicked right.
Perhaps, just perhaps, the fact that Hillary Clinton is among those who say there are indeed legitimate questions here will quieten those claims, and maybe even prompt more people to start listening.
Or perhaps Clinton will simply be treated like all those other women who have dared to question transgender orthodoxy and find herself consigned to the ‘wrong side of history’ with the other witches and heretics.”
Time to examine trans ideology and what it means in society, the sooner the better.

I am weirdly proud of Clinton for saying that.
I don’t like her. I don’t like any patriarchal politician, male or female. I share the feelings about the clintons that Andrea dworkin held.
I will be shocked if she holds the line. I fully expect her to recant and begin shouting about trans women being women. I wouldn’t mind being wrong, as occasionally happens.😁

I wish she had won the election, the world would have been a much better place. I hope she manages to stick to her guns on the trans issue, as allies that are actually fighting for women are few and far between.

She won by over 3 million votes. Males keep the outdated electoral college for the express purpose of putting their choice into office.
She did a kind of backtracking on her stance, I think, if I remember correctly. She is the patriarchal politician that is siding with women, and Warren is siding with troons.
Whatever happens, males will continue to advantage themselves at our expense. Everything else is just theater. Kind of like wrestling, but much less interesting.

Never was much of a wrestling fan. :/ The US is saddled with the electoral college, while here in Canada we have an archaic First Past the Post system which is nearly as terrible.
