Caitlin can be so intriguingly contradictory sometimes. She swings from mocking the idea that "speech is violence", to lambasting comedians who are applauded for criticising trans people. If there's one group that likes to talk about speech as violence, it's trans people!

I know that being critical of trans ideology is often dismissed (not least by Caitlin) as being transphobic and falling for the 'culture war' distraction, but the idea that trans women are literally women and should have women's rights DOES threaten women (i.e. 'cis women') if it's taken seriously. It's not transphobic to be realistic about the difference between the sexes, and to acknowledge that women's bodies make them vulnerable to men (or 'people with male bodies'). We have sex-segregated spaces for a reason, and that reason is women's safety.

People genuinely suffering from gender dysphoria need help coming to terms with their bodies, it's not helpful to them to reinforce their belief that they were actually born in the wrong body and that they should undergo medical procedures to 'fix' them. I'm genuinely quite puzzled why Caitlin doesn't also see it this way, because to me it seems like such an obviously manipulated cultural shift that benefits no one but the medical industry.
