giving white women (including a lot of white lesbians) a framework to justify bigotry as feminism because it was packaged and sold by a voice widely considered unimpeachably trustworthy on matters regarding the welfare of women and children is one of the greatest evils I’ve seen in my lifetime

the closest that Americans have to the UK’s TERF-friendly media class are liberals and reactionary centrists in legacy publications like the NYT and Atlantic similar bigotry laundering via “just asking questions” and “voicing concerns,” but it’d be VERY charitable to call that crowd left-wing
