Commenter Valerie Keefe offers this next installment of helpful advice to other feminists. Here is the first installment, by the way.
There is a lot to criticize in feminism’s malice towards trans women, and it’s not all in obscure radfem circles. It’s out in mainstream publications.…
Commenter Valerie Keefe offered this for consideration and it intrigued me, so I am offering it for review and consideration. She doesn’t consider it a finished thought, so treat it as a work in progress as you read.
