I wrote the following after the first #GIDYVR talk with #MeghanMurphy in Vancouver, January 2019 to summarise the disinformation being spread about her and what was said there:

Feminism is about liberation of women from the patriarchy. It's not about equality.
Being able to have an open, honest conversation about the impacts of gender politics on women's rights is hugely important and is not actually hate speech. It's not illegal to criticise an ideology. The silencing and targeting of feminists is the fascism we are being accused of.
Radical feminists aren't nazis. We're not fascists. We're mostly anti-capitalism socialists. We want to free everyone from the restrictive system of gender roles.

Much self-righteous outrage about bill C-16 and "transactivists" ruining the world today, pretending women are men and human rights are a finite resource.
It's not pie. You don't lose yours if I get some too.

It would be so refreshing to hear discussion about policy ideas that would keep everyone safe rather than lament that gender identity or expression are as equally protected as other rights - and for good reason.
Jon is now speaking. Meghan said nothing new "men are not women" and so on. Did @jonkay just say Meghan Murphy introduced him to trans-TERF issues?

If I got that wrong, please clarify Jon.

Fascinatingly would explains much.
