Right? Last week I wrote an article about a 78-year-old transgender woman denied a bed at a long-term care facility she needed to be transferred to from a hospital after an acute illness. The facility in Maine refused to accept her only because she is transgender. She was eventually accepted by a different facility, but her health was put in jeopardy while her social worker scrambled to get her out of the hospital and into a place that could properly care for her.

It wasn't easy. She's suing so other women like her don't have to go through that.

For the last week, I've watched so-called feminists on Twitter attack this invalid as a rape threat, as an entitled man trying to intrude into women's spaces. (She wasn't offered a bed in a room with a man either), ridiculing her appearance, basically doing anything except expressing compassion for a human being who deserves medical care and human dignity.

As to the charges of entitlement, she was barely conscious and not coherent while her social worker was searching for a placement for her. She's barely ambulatory now.

Are any of these so-called feminists interested in any of that? Nope, all they want to do is bash her as a "man pretending to be a woman" who represents a threat to "real" women. Nobody seems to care about her long history living and struggling as a trans woman, starting back in an era when that was very dangerous indeed.

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time understanding how bashing this elderly human being can be considered feminism. When you can treat even the most vulnerable with that sort of callous disdain, when you can call a frail trans woman who can't get out of bed a rape threat ... sigh, I don't even know what to say.

I really don't.
