Fascinating! When my articles draw negative comments from TERFs, I find that they’re usually penned by self-described lesbians who seem very angry. While their commentary often touches on the violation of women’s spaces, I have noticed an increasing trend of people complaining that “trans women erase lesbians.”

I admit to having found that idea puzzling, if not downright impossible to wrap my head around.

Your article today helps me understand the underlying anxiety a little bit, though I confess to still having only the haziest of ideas of how I could respond to critical commentary in any genuinely helpful way.
