Recently I have noticed the #metoo movement has acquiesced to the non-binary, non-assigned gender movement, in effect diminishing the original call for people to help defend and elevate women’s rights to be equal with men
For example, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has taken a stand against blurring the line between women and men, who think they are women,is getting attacked for it.
‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?

The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women – ie, to male violence – ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences – is a nonsense.

JK Rowling continues to align herself with an ideology which willfully distorts facts about gender identity and people who are trans. In 2020, there is no excuse for targeting trans people.

On Tuesday, Adele won the Grammy Award for artist of the year at a London-based award show.
During her acceptance speech, the famous female singer sparked controversy at the BRIT Awards for saying: “I love being a woman.”
In what was previously the top female artist of the year award, the female and top male awards have been eliminated in lieu of a single non-gender-specific award. This change started in 22 as the association changed to gender-based awards for best solo and best international acts so that artists who identify as nonbinary would not be offended.
In her acceptance speech, the singer sparked controversy at the BRIT Awards for saying: “I love being a woman.”
“I understand why the name of this award has changed,” Adele said while accepting the award. “But I really love being a woman and being a female artist, I do, I’m really proud of us.”
The statement drew massive applause, especially from especially the women in the audience in London’s O2 Arena. Online though, Adele’s pride in being a woman was received with mixed reviews.
Some of her fans argue that the singer’s comments were offensive.
“Please, no, ADELE can’t be a TERF. That last comment, though ambiguous, could be perceived as TERF-Y. Please no,” one LGBT activist said, according to a report.
“I love Adele but that ‘woman’ comment seemed like a bit of a dig, non-binary artists deserve better,” another added.
Women’s rights activists came to Adele’s defense.
“Yes, women are part of society, 50% actually. @Adele you make every woman I know proud. You’re an inspiration to many of what can be achieved,” a spokesperson for Safeguard Women & Girls said.
“Welcome to the Brave Inclusive New World: Now saying ‘I really love being a woman, I really love being a female artist’ is enough to be labeled as a Terf and a transphobe,” Inna Shevchenko, a reporter and women’s rights activist, argued.
Adel’s backlash is similar to women athletes who are speaking out against men, who claim to be transitioning, dominate their sports taking away their opportunity to win events and possibly earn much-needed scholarships.
Penn swimmer latest example of trans athlete dominating female sports
The swimmer previously competed as a man for three years on the school’s men’s team. Thomas’ success on the women’s team has renewed criticism over allowing transgender women to compete against biological females.
Lia Thomas, the transgender student at the Ivy League university, dominated the 500-yard freestyle preliminaries and finals at the Zippy Invitational at the University of Akron this month
Thomas’ success on the women’s team has renewed criticism over allowing transgender women to compete against biological females.
Even some of Thomas’ own teammates are angry about what they see as a lack of fairness.
In October 2019, Canadian transgender cyclist Rachel McKinnon set a world record in qualifying for the 35-39 age category 200-meter sprint, then went on to win the Masters Track Cycling World Championships in Manchester, England
Also in October 2019, University of Montana cross country athlete June Eastwood was named the Big Sky Conference Athlete of the Week after finishing second at the Bronco Invitational in Sunnyvale, California.
In June 2019, Cece Telfer became the first openly transgender woman to win an NCAA title while competing for Franklin Pierce University.
In June of this year, Telfer was ruled ineligible to compete in the U.S. Olympic trials after she failed to meet the World Athletic eligibility requirements.
This confusion only exists when absolutes and cultural norms are replaced with subjective, emtionally based opnions which is expoected to override what is esasily know by 99% of those who think.
If this social justice insanity is allowed to to expand, the #metoo crown will not longer be needed as the identiy of what a woman is will not be logically and biologically understood by those drinking the far left Kool-Aid.
