There's a alarming link between 'gender-critical' feminism and the far-right
The anti-trans arguments made by 'gender critical' feminists risk enforcing heterosexual norms, the Institute of Race Relations has warned.

“Gender-critical” feminism – espoused by anti-trans groups like LGB Alliance, Women’s Declaration on Human Rights, Woman’s Place UK, Fair Play for Women, as well as multiple interconnected campaigners, academics and journalists – is defined by IRR as arising “from second wave feminism in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which understood feminism as a response to male power, which for them, is embodied by the male penis. Therefore, anyone who embodies maleness is considered a potential threat”.
It is rather depressing. These women need to consider their actions and what they are trying to achieve.
