I agree, it's obvious common sense.

What's interesting is that it was so hard to get there. Despite the answer being obvious.

The article author suffers from the same problem, she keeps tacking on unnecessary attacks on what gender "is" that derail some legitimate concerns.

What a lot of people don’t understand about this flavor of feminism is that it isn’t about gender, or directly about trans people. It’s about the primacy of sex in defining and defending women as a class.

Social roles, gender, clothes, appearance, identification, personality… none of these things are what makes a woman a woman.

Yeah, I guess I was getting around to arguing about primacy of sex vs gender being stupid.

Let people live their lives and then make the obvious decision when that clashes with the rights of others.

The contrarian in me just loves riling people up on the topic :)
