The support of women's equality on the basis of their sex-class isn't bigotry. Women have been discriminated against for all of history based upon it, why shouldn't there be true equality be based upon it as well?

Instead we get acquiescence demanded as kindness, biological reality equated with bigotry & critical thinking abandoned for subterfuge or outright rage. But the support of women's equality on the basis of their sex-class isn't bigotry.
The immutable claim that a yearning equals a completely different material reality regardless of & in spite of its detriment to women? That is bigotry. The command to cede not only space but essence is bigotry.
The next big push was meant to make equal pay & equal representation a reality for our daughters, to ensure women were safe in the workplace/the street/their homes-to put an end to a cycle of male violence-
not a struggle to maintain the very definition & meaning of "woman" or "female;" not a struggle against charges of hate crimes to say that there shouldn't be a blanket allowance for entry into vulnerable spaces.
The facts of biological reality & sexual dimorphism aren't unkind; diminishing the female experience is unkind. True inclusion can only ever be really successful when there's consensus. It has to be done together in a way that's right & respectful for all.
The acceptance, tolerance & support for a sustained, malicious effort to debase & intimidate women who don't agree with the negation & dismissal of their shared female experience & the removal of sex based rights will always be incendiary & fought against. As it should be.
