Flat WhiteBodies with vaginas? Women want their sex backEdie WyattEdie Wyatt4 October 20216:03 PMThe phrase “adding insult to injury” has never been so appropriate as in the treatment of women by the progressive elite. The Lancet magazine is the latest to endure a well-deserved pile on for their description of women and girls on their cover as “bodies with vaginas”. The issue was focused on dealing with “period shame”. Just three days earlier The Lancet addressed the issue of prostate cancer, referring to those living with the condition as “men”. Men, it seems, are permitted to keep their sex category while “women” is now a “gender” category. Women is now a category of people who have a particular “feeling” or “identity”.
The Lancet has issued a non-apology from their male editor in chief. Rather than apologising for redefining women into a category that includes goats, Richard Horton referred to the controversial phrasing as a “compelling call to empower women, together with non-binary, trans, and intersex people who have experienced menstruation.” Women, and lovers of women, I say this in all seriousness, you must resist this language and insist to your local member that we retain our word “woman” with its biological definition. While you are speaking with them tell them you will also resist any gender self ID legislation that defines women on the declaration of a gender “soul”. You will be called a bigot and a transphobe, but the stakes are high.
Without the right to the word “woman”, and its anchor in biological reality, as well as control over powerful gender meanings, we cannot give our daughters the appropriate tools they need to describe themselves, to protect themselves and as corny as it sounds, to learn to love themselves.
