Great thoughtful article. As a 74 year old woman, I’ve been through those days as gays and lesbians were increasingly accepted as part of our culture and society, some were and are friends. I also was there for the early days of Women’s Liberation, and I benefited from it. I’m horrified by what the “trans” movement is pushing on all of us. As you pointed out, lesbians are now being trashed for not wanting sex with trans women! The trans women (second class male athletes) pushing women out of sports accomplishments….it goes on and on….and it sometimes does seem that our culture/the trans movement is indeed trying to wipe out women altogether except for a bizarre parody of “womanhood”.
