Very good point.

The current crisis raises some very important questions when it comes to feminism and the Global North/Global South divide. We cannot have a women's rights movement that denounces breast ironing of brown and black girls but supports breast binding for white girls, as "a right". — RaquelRosarioSánchez (@8RosarioSanchez) December 2, 2018

Women's organisations and feminists in Global North can't act shocked when feminists are jailed and prevented from speaking "in developing countries" when we are seeing leftist politicians and political parties in the Global North veer towards making feminism a hate crime… — RaquelRosarioSánchez (@8RosarioSanchez) December 2, 2018

And feminist like #MeghanMurphy in Canada or @Womans_Place_UK in UK, face onslaughts of abuse for having meetings. If you ever wondered, "wow, how does a society gets to a point were jailing feminists becomes accepted?" then, this is it. We are watching that shift, as we speak. — RaquelRosarioSánchez (@8RosarioSanchez) December 2, 2018

FGM…footbinding…corsets…Jimmy Choo shoes…breast inserts…Brazilians…anorexia…and binders: it’s all the same shit, it’s all about treating women as mindless clay that needs to be shaped and pinched and peeled and sculpted to be any good for anything.

I think the whole trans obsession is very much like warped ideas about menstruation and female genitalia: it’s equally based in fantasy, equally impervious to reason, equally prone to maiming, equally destructive. Feminists disagree with it because the way out is not to mutilate your body or take leave of your mind but to change the rules: keep the body you have but refuse to accept that your body means you have to either submit or dominate. Move sideways: refuse to accept your place in a hierarchy: blow the hierarchy up. See it as a political issue, not a medical or cosmetic one.
