Summary

Feminists In Civil War Over Trans Rights Law, Gender Inclusivity Could BACKFIRE On Feminists. A new law called the Equality act would amend the 1964 civil rights act to expand protections to trans individuals. But Republicans and even some Feminists oppose the bill saying that gender identity is too vaguely defined and one Feminist going as far to claim the bill is a human rights violation.Within Feminism there are different factions such as intersectional and gender critical. Both groups are at odds with each other and simply by using their preferred titles I can be accused of supporting one group or the other.In some circumstances social justice activists and far left activists have actually contradicted their own protests by simultaneously demanding women only spaces but also demanding they be open to all identities.Even more odd is Matt Gaetz argument that this new law could allow Trump to be the "first female president" Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

they're arguing that the right is just trying to use transphobia to stop the bill from being past.

However, it seems that as we try to expand civil rights, there is some contradiction that will

ultimately be fought against by the left themselves. In one circumstance, as people sought gender

inclusivity and a lounge, intersectional feminists actually resisted this because they wanted a woman
