Threatening to drive a wedge in the Democrat ranks between transgender activists and “gender critical” feminists, White House contender Joe Biden tweeted on Saturday that “Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time.”
“Let’s be clear,” Biden tweeted. “Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time. There is no room for compromise when it comes to basic human rights.” This suggests that Biden, if elected president, would fully enforce the transgender ideology on 325 million Americans, whether in sports, the military, K-12 schools, and healthcare.
Gender-critical feminists argue that women’s rights can exist only if the government recognizes women’s sex, biology, and physiology, regardless of “gender identity.”
“You just lost my vote,” one feminist responded on Twitter. “If all the Dems insist on sacrificing women’s and girls’ sex-based protections to transrights activists, they will lose, and they should lose. Whoever protects sex, not ‘gender identity,’ in Title IX has my vote.”
