"If We Replace 'Sex' With 'Gender' as a Way of Thinking About Ourselves, It Will Be Harder to Tackle Sex-Based Oppression"

"None of this means 'GC' feminists are in favour of bigotry, or don't care about the obstacles and prejudices faced by transgender people, or that we deny the existence of people with differences in sex development. What it does mean is that we think rejecting sex as a way of thinking about ourselves would be a terrible error. And that we urgently want to be able to discuss this, in a respectful way, with those who disagree."

At The Guardian, Susanna Rustin contrasts "Beauvoirian" and "Butlerian" feminism.
