"Gender categories chagne through time, and feminism has always relied on the historically changing character of gender categories in order to demand changes in the way that women and men are defined and treated. If these were timeless categories, they could not be redefined, which means that whatever the category of "women" once meant is what it means forever. That would toss both feminism and history into the dustbin" "While other regions of the world are producing strong coalitions, like Ni Una Menos in Argentina, which includes trans, feminist, and LGBTQIA+ groups opposed to racism, extractivism, and capitalist structures of debt, financial terror, and economic inequality, the situation in the United Kingdom exemplifies radical division and opposition, efforts to shut down gender studies programs, and associate scholars in the field of gender studies with scenes of abuse"

"Consider, then, the irony that the women most feared for having a penis may be among those people most disinterested in having one. ... Trans women, one of the most vulnerable groups, a group that includes those who may or may not have penises, have already disidentified from traditional masculinity and, in many if not most cases, know, suffer, and resist masculine violence in their everyday lives. How foolish, then, not to realize the alliance at hand between trans people and feminists of all kinds, especially when so often they are not distinct groups at all."
