On the Left, a New Clash Between Feminists and Transgender Activists

On the Left, a New Clash Between Feminists and Transgender Activists
Excerpt: In January, the august New York Public Library withdrew as host of a forum organized by a self-described radical feminist group called the Women’s Liberation Front, or WoLF. The irony was palpable: The planned meeting was titled “An Evening With Canceled Women,” since the five speakers from WoLF all claim to have been “deplatformed”—i.e., shouted down by hecklers or kicked off speakers lists—because they questioned claims made by transgender advocates regarding sexuality and identity. In other words, as some conservative news outlets gleefully reported, the New York Public Library canceled the “canceled women”! Why? The library had no comment, but it likely feared that it too would become a target of activists who have demonstrated and even threatened violence during other programs sponsored by the group. (when leftists take power, the first people they shoot are their allies who are not pure enough. ~Bob)
