@jameelajamil Spout nonsense/mute replies. Sigh. We'll be here spreading a sense of reality.
Men have never been and will never be at the forefront of feminism. That includes men who say they are women. Claiming men can be women transgresses every single boundary women have ever fought for.

@jameelajamil How many men were banned from voting because they said they were women? Or because they dressed or acted femininely, or believed to have a female soul? Zero, that's how many. Why? Because they're men.
@jameelajamil Women are subjected to violence from men because we are women. Not because we perform some kind of stereotypically feminine role. Imagine claiming it's men who pretend to be women who expand those stereotypes. Not women.

@jameelajamil Lesbians have broken the boundaries of femininity since forever. Now young lesbians are being told they must be men if they don't conform to girly stereotypes - including liking boys. Adult men who call themselves lesbians predate on them. This is not progressive.
@jameelajamil If you want to advance women's rights, you need to centre women. Many women are afraid to do that (unlike men who speak out on their own behalf at every turn). Why? Because men. Because there can be consequences. Because they're afraid.
@jameelajamil It's understandable up to a point that women are afraid to speak out against men when it can be dangerous. Settingi boundaries, saying no, has always been dangerous. We've all kept silent when, in retrospect, we felt we should have spoken up against men or for other women.
@jameelajamil But there really is no need to actively come forward, especially when your job affords you a visibility that rises above that of the mass of women, and tell women they need to put of men first. And, as you've done in the past, be abusive to women who are NOT afraid.
@jameelajamil Women who have worked for decades for lesbian rights, who have set up women's shelters and support services for rape victims, who have taken on the pimp and porn lobby, women who work to end female genital mutilation. You have told them to shut up because "TWAW".
@jameelajamil Well, I'm #NotShuttingUp. I like The Good Place but having a role in a funny show doesn't make you right. Come to think of it, it seems like you haven't realised that THIS is the bad place. 100 million women are missing from this planet. Can we talk about that?
