she's speaking in the context of opposing trannyism, in which she's 100% correct. women aren't the only ones being persecuted, but there is no false statement here.
So? Men have also been persecuted, harassed, smeared, roughed up and forced to take employers to court for discrimination.
Her statement, even if not technically false, is still that of her female supremacist mindset that only cares about problems if they affect women -- and even then cares only about them so far as how they affect women and couldn't care less about the underlying causes.
If there existed some compromise in which men still faced all of the issues caused by transgenderism and women were somehow shielded from them, she would not care one bit about the problem.
She'd be first in line celebrating the breaking of another glass ceiling
Nope. Context doesn't make it better.
What rights could women possible have, that men wouldn't or shouldn't get something equivalent?
Because the main TERF/tranny squabble seems to be about sex-segregated spaces.
So I think she's saying women have a legally protected right to have female only spaces, and men are not entitled to have male only spaces.
No matter the context, no matter how you slice it, it's just more feminist, female supremacist garbage.
there was no discrimination- they wanted to maintain their privileged position above all men
She doesn't oppose trans ideology. She only opposes them being in biological female spaces.
One of my favorite anecdotes is about lesbians being upset over trans showing up at their bars. The trans would harass the regulars, and the regulars were afraid of kicking them out because it could mean being ostracized from the community.
