A bit cryptic all that. But does this put Art at odds with our very own Hermie over the whole thing?To quote Animal Farm, Transwomen are women, but some are more women than others. The tangle that Sturgeon and others get into results from the fact that "Transwomen are Women" is a belief, an article of faith rather than something that can be argued about with factual evidence. There is a story in The Times today about the boycotting (needless to say) of a new video game called Hogwarts legacy. One of the actors who did the voiceovers has had to publicly repent saying "I believe wholeheartedly that trans women are women and trans men are men".
He believes and good for him. Other people believe differently. If I say to a Christian "I don't believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God" I don't get accused of Chistiaphobia, or told that I am being hateful. But if I question whether trans women are women I am unlikely to get a job at a university and risk getting more infraction points on Exeweb
