A prominent lawyer who identifies as a 'radical feminist' has claimed that transgender activism and ideology is actually a 'men's rights movement'.

Lawyer Kara Dansky, a spokeswoman for the Women's Liberation Front (WoLF), condemned the transgender rights movement on Monday.

'This is a men's rights movement, this is really a men's rights movement,' Dansky declared as she spoke at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative public policy think tank, in Washington DC.

Hacsi Horvath, who once identified as transgender and presented as a woman for several years, claimed that women have been 'overwhelmingly' resisting transgender activism.

'It's really shocking how many men on the internet are defending the whole trans thing,' Horvath, another speaker on the Heritage panel, said.

Lawyer Kara Dansky, a spokeswoman for the Women's Liberation Front (WoLF), condemned transgender activism and called it a 'men's rights movement'

'This is a men's rights movement, this is really a men's rights movement,' Dansky declared as she spoke at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative public policy think tank, on Monday

'Straight men are all about the trans, and you have to wonder what the heck is going on.'

Hovarth said he refused to use transgender people's chosen pronouns, saying he doesn't 'play along' with it.

'I don't say transwoman, I don't say she, her [when speaking about a male],' he said. 'I don't care if it hurts their feelings. This is reality and it gaslights everybody else.'

Dansky specifically denounced the Equality Act, which aims to ban anti-LGBT discrimination in the likes of employment, housing, and education, among other services, as she spoke on Monday.

The Equality Act would specifically add both sexual orientation and gender identity to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which currently bans discrimination on race, color, sex, religion, or national origin.

Rep Nancy Pelosi has stated that passing the act will be a priority in the Democrat-controlled House this year.

Dansky spoke specifically of her belief that the term 'gender identity' would cause women's rights to 'utterly disappear'.

WoLF sued the Obama administration in 2016 after it issued a recommendation stating that Title IX protected the rights of transgender students to use restrooms that match the gender they identify with.

Under Title IX, schools that receive federal funding cannot discriminate on the basis of sex. The Obama administration ruled that sex also includes 'gender identity'.

Dansky claims this was an 'unmitigated disaster' for women and girls and would mean they 'no longer exist as a coherent category worthy of civil rights protection'.

'Title IX's intention is specifically to protect women and girls in the educational arena,' she said.

'Feminists and other women fought very hard to get Title IX enacted into law in 1972. It's specifically to protect women and girls.'

'If sex is construed to mean "gender identity", what that means is nearly all sex-segregated spaces - colleges, sports, dormitories - and women's rights in general will utterly disappear,' she claimed.

'It is not possible to both enshrine gender identity in civil rights law and protect women and girls as a distinct legal category.'

WoLF received a $15,000 donation in support of the lawsuit against the Obama administration from the Alliance Defending Freedom, which has been classified as an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The case was dismissed after the Trump administration rescinded the protections for transgender students.

Monday's panel also featured Julia Beck, a lesbian who claimed she had been kicked off Baltimore's LGBTQ commission for 'stating biological facts'.

Beck was removed from the commission because she used male pronouns while referring to a transgender woman.

'I got kicked off the Baltimore mayor's LGBTQ commission - as the only lesbian - simply for stating biological facts,' she said.

'I was found guilty of "violence". My crime? Using male pronouns to talk about a convicted male rapist who identifies as transgender and prefers female pronouns.'

Beck said she was removed from the commission after referring to Karen White, a British transgender woman who was convicted for raping two female inmates after she was moved to a woman's jail, as a 'he'

Beck appears to be referring to the case of British transgender woman Karen White, who was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to raping two female inmates after she was transferred to a woman's jail due to her declared gender change.

'It doesn't matter that he sexually assaulted two women in a women's prison after being transferred there on account of his "gender identity"', Beck said.

'Oh no, it is far more criminal for me to call a male rapist "he" than it is for him to rape.'

Beck also hit out at the president of the Baltimore Transgender Alliance, a transgender woman that she repeatedly referred to as a 'man'.

'The man who led my inquisition also identifies as "transgender,"' she said mockingly.

'He is the president of the Baltimore Transgender Alliance and claims to be a lesbian. I find that almost funny because everything he does makes life for women, girls, and lesbians worse.'

'The meeting made one thing crystal clear: Inclusivity means all voices are welcome, except women's, except lesbians,' she claimed. 'Everything is about the T now, entirely eclipsing the L, G, and B.'

'The T is diametrically opposed to the first three letters in the acronym, and especially to the L.'
