    Trashcan human too stupid to take her billions and do something productive with it.

    And this is why billionaires shouldn’t exist. They can’t be trusted to do anything of value with their wealth.

    legal cases involving so-called women’s sex-based rights — a dog whistle used by herself and other anti-trans activists to exclude trans people from public spaces and reduce women to their genitals.

    Clearly a dog whistle because it doesn’t even make sense to me.

      It doesn’t make sense. It’s barely even a dog whistle, it’s just a real whistle but stupid.

      She’s a TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist). She is basing her argument on “I’m a Feminist, I fight for women’s rights!” so that she sounds progressive and righteous if you aren’t paying enough attention. (Thus the “dog whistle” part)

      The “sex-based” bit is the trans exclusionary part though. She has decided that she gets to decide what is a “real” “woman” and she has decided that “women” are only those people born with a vagina (thus the “reducing women to their genitals” comment).

        That’s what I’m saying. Usually there’s at least a little ambiguity to allow for plausible deniablity.

        But that phrase literally means nothing to me. Without context I’d still assume it’s some transphobic shit.

      The article has been posted three other times earlier, with one of them have 300+ comments.

      Regardless, i think it’s insane this lady spends so much time and effort on this. She must feel a certain way inside that threatens her self image.

        I think she actually believes trans people are a danger to society, that’s the only way that makes sense with her actions. It’s sad though. I’m not sure if we can convince her otherwise, she seems quite entrenched. If we could though, she could be quite an influential advocate for trans rights.
