This is Not The Time For A TERF War

from After Work Drinks

JK Rowling's terribly timed Twitter rant about trans women has us all googling 'TERF' - what is a 'Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist' and are they as awful as they sound (yes). What happens when your sentimental childhood heroes let you down? And how long can we excuse ignorance in our public figures? Then it's onto the police! Why is there now a mainstream movement to 'abolish' the police force? What does that mean and what does it look like? And why are we - two sceptics who, at first glance, wrote it off as 'ridiculous' totally on board with the move? Then it's onto Lea Michele, Reformation and brands and people that have been 'cancelled' after posting about #BLM. How rampant is this hypocrisy? And will things actually change longterm?Recommendations:Who Counts As A Woman by Carol Hay in the New York Timeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/01/opinion/trans-women-feminism.html 13th documentary on NetflixUnbelievable on Netflix Hosted on Acast.
