Feminism
If you are calling a man who wishes to compete in women’s sports, or enter a rape or domestic violence refuge, women’s shelter or women’s prison as ‘she’ and ‘her’, you have already conceded that the individual is a woman, and you may as well not bother opening your mouth to say more.
Diana Shaw
I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.
Rebecca West 1913
People are discriminated against for being GNC. Women are oppressed for being female.
Dr. Jane Clare Jones
Sex and gender are two different things, and those who advocate in the name of one are often in conflict with those who speak in the name of the other.
Kathleen Stock
Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.
Margaret Atwood
“We don’t change, we take the gravel in the shell and make a pearl”.
Pink
A man gaining access to women’s rights does not mean he’s a woman; it means they are no longer women’s rights.
Sam Morgan
You cannot compel people to say what you want them to say. At best you can try to force them not to say what you don't want to hear.
Helen Staniland @helenstaniland
It is difficult to get a woman to understand something when her social standing depends on her not understanding it.
Róisín Michaux @RoisinMichaux
One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman. No biological, psychological, or economic destiny defines the figure that the human female acquires in society; it is civilization as a whole that develops this product, intermediate between female and eunuch, which one calls feminine.
Simone de Beauvoir
The difference between thinking gender is an innate identity, and thinking it is a set of oppressive social norms, is a very important distinction.
Jane Clare Jones
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.
Virginia Woolf
You should stick your opinion up your arse and set fire to it.
JK Rowling
Fucking women over is something that right wing men and left wing men have always pretty much agreed on.

If you aren’t transphobic you haven’t been paying attention to the erosion of women’s rights by gender theology.
Acknowledging the differences between the sexes and understanding, accommodating, and respecting the differing needs of each is the mark of a civilised society.
Janet Inglis
All one's life as a young woman one is on show, a focus of attention, people notice you. You set yourself up to be noticed and admired. And then, not expecting it, you become middle-aged and anonymous. No one notices you. You achieve a wonderful freedom. It's a positive thing. You can move about unnoticed and invisible.
