Dworkin strenuously opposed all biological definitions of womanhood as the foundational ideology of patriarchy & she explicitly embraced trans women as women BECAUSE we disprove that biological argument. Keep her name out of your transphobic mouth. http://bostonreview.net/gender-sexuality/john-stoltenberg-andrea-dworkin-was-trans-ally https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1277265589782929410

"The discovery is, of course, that man & woman are fictions, caricatures, cultural constructs. As models they are reductive, totalitarian, inappropriate to human becoming. As roles they are static, demeaning to the female, dead-ended for male & female both." - Woman Hating (1974)

"The idea of the male sex is like the idea of an Aryan race ... there simply is no Aryan race. There is only the idea of it -and the consequences of trying to make it seem real. The male sex is very like that." - Refusing to be a Man (1985)

"Hormone and chromosome research, attempts to develop new means of human reproduction, work with transsexuals, and studies of formation of gender identity in children provide basic information which challenges the notion that there are two discrete biological sexes... 1/

... That information threatens to transform the traditional biology of sex difference into the radical biology of sex similarity. That is not to say there is one sex, but that there are many. The evidence which is germane here is simple.... 2/

...The words “male” and “female,” “man” and “woman,” are used only because as yet there are no others." - Woman Hating (1974) 3/

In other words, Dworkin said TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN

More from Woman Hating (1974): "There is no doubt that in the culture of male-female discreteness, transsexuality is a disaster for the individual transsexual. Every transsexual, white, black, man, woman, rich, poor, is in a state of primary emergency as a transsexual... 1/

... Every transsexual has the right to survival on his/her own terms. That means every transsexual is entitled to a sex-change operation, and it should be provided by the community as one of its functions. This is an emergency measure for an emergency condition... 2/

... By changing our premises about men and women, role-playing and polarity, the social situation of transsexuals will be transformed, and transsexuals will be integrated into community, no longer persecuted and despised." 3/
