However... I have a feeling that her example and actual quotes are being used by the author to ALSO slag indiscriminately and quite off-handedly "Second-Wavers", Daly, Morgan, Sheila Jeffrey et al. (oh, that dastardly "al."!) -- feminists who have criticized not "trans" folks themselves but the present attackers of the feminist movement who, I believe, instrumentalize genuine trans issues - while putting forward the preposterous claim of representing such a diverse category of people - to forcefully shoehorn themselves into women's definitions, spaces and movement - and to rail extremely agressively at anyone who objects, however politely and justifiably.
Rather than this blunderbüss treatment, one would appreciate a substantive documentation of actual justifications - if any - of what seems to me like a hit-or-miss rhetorical slathering of abuse on a whole movement for resisting people brimming with men's rights entitlement under a different guise.
But maybe the material just isn't there to support that.
In the end, I am just sorry to see Dworkin being used to batter her lifetime friends and colleagues.
