More Transmania from the Guardian:
"feminism is a subcategory of human rights advocacy, which means, sorry, you can’t be a feminist if you’re not for everyone’s human rights, notably other women’s rights."
This is wrong on many counts... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/aug/10/trans-rights-feminist-letter-rebecca-solnit

You can still be a feminist if you resist the demands of trans activists. Not all rights are in harmony - that is what trans activists wilfully ignore. The trans narrative is a fairy tale, claiming that women's rights and trans rights neatly align.
Trans inclusion is not, by definition, a feminist cause. After all, we are talking about male-bodied persons who claim that they belong with women. Fortunately, British law-makers insisted on exemptions which make it possible to exclude transwomen in certain contexts.
Current law in the UK doesn't shy away from the fact that changing the recorded sex on your birth certificate is based on a legal fiction. See here: https://theelectricagora.com/2019/10/14/legal-fictions-changing-sex-by-changing-gender/
It would be useful for transgenderism if women believed that it is a feminist issue, but neither a label (trans woman), not a feeling, nor self-identifying as a 'woman' makes you a woman.

What trans activists demand are not 'human rights'. For example, they demand the right to take part in female-only sports. This is neither a right, nor a human right under current UK legislation, because fairness and safety in competition are more important than inclusion.
