'White middle-class ‘feminists’ have done terrible things,' the professor said
An "intersectional feminist" professor in the United Kingdom claimed that it was "racist" to advocate for spaces exclusively for biological females, according to a research article.
Dr. Helen Clarke is a professor affiliated with Oxford Brookes.
"Helen’s research explores how decolonial feminism can be used to create alternative practices of solidarity, tackling trans-hostility in cis-lesbian communities. She is involved in various feminist projects, working at creating more inclusive and supportive activist environments for all women, non-binary folk and gender diverse people," a biography on the research paper said.
Clarke’s main point in her piece, first reported by the College Fix, attacked assertions that transgender people should be excluded from the LGBT acronym. She specifically calls out an organization called "The LGB Alliance," which seeks to preserve women-only spaces.
The LGB Alliance "argue[s] that some predatory men masquerade as women merely to access these spaces, requiring the exclusion of trans women to protect (cis) women’s safety," Clark said.
Therefore, the "LGB Alliance can be read as (re)producing harmful discourses related to heteronormativity, racism and classism, [and] ultimately, hinder progress towards LGBTQ+ equality," the professor said.

White tears matter.
Ever notice how all these “brilliant” radical thinkers are all professors. Seems they think it is their moment to push their radical philosophies that have zero basis or roots in the real world.

Given the biological facts and the inclination of some males to gain entry to private female spaces using any subterfuge to commit crimes it is absolutely necessary for there to be female-ONLY spaces!
Common sense has died :-/
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.....
they realize that feminism is a word that is quite appealing to the random person, so they want to use it. But they don’t want to use it correctly so they add new adjectives to change the definition to suit them.
Thank you.
Can alpines be feminists ;-)
An “intersectional feminist” professor?
Professor? My Obamahhole.
She/it/whatever is as much a real professor as a Yugo is a sports car. Call her what she is...an ignorant s**t.
I thought it meant a particularly bad woman driver.
Men masquerading as women so they can invade women spaces do so to fulfill their lusts. It’s called Voyeurism, which would be a crime if they didn’t hide it using the trans B.S. I remember the clever phrase, I’m a “lesbian trapped in a man’s body.” Those masqueraders heard that phrase and said, ‘Yep! That’s the ticket!’
THIS IS THE ACTUAL HATE THE LEFTISTS CLAIM TO STAND AGAINST.

Dr. Helen Clarke, a professor affiliated with Oxford Brookes, is a researcher whose work delves into decolonial feminism. Her research aims to create alternative practices of solidarity, addressing trans-hostility within cis-lesbian communities. Dr. Clarke’s focus extends to fostering more inclusive and supportive activist environments for all women, non-binary individuals, and gender diverse people1.
In a recent paper for the Journal of Gender Studies, Dr. Clarke challenged assertions that transgender individuals should be excluded from the LGBTQ+ acronym. She specifically critiqued an organization called The LGB Alliance, which advocates for preserving women-only spaces. The LGB Alliance contends that some predatory men may pose as women to access these spaces, necessitating the exclusion of trans women for the safety of cisgender women. Dr. Clarke argues that the LGB Alliance’s stance perpetuates harmful discourses related to heteronormativity, racism, and classism, hindering progress toward LGBTQ+ equality1.
Furthermore, Dr. Clarke highlights the use of “political Whiteness” in the LGB Alliance’s activism. She asserts that the organization’s argument relies on modern/western schemas of anatomically correct bodies, where being sex/gender normative and “properly” lesbian, gay, or bisexual is tied to possessing specific bodily components (such as a penis or a vagina) and being attracted to others with similar components1.
While Dr. Clarke’s research sparks debate, it underscores the complexities of gender, identity, and inclusivity in contemporary discourse.
I’m an intersectional masculinist. I don’t know what it means but I think it means I am cool.
Does she mean that black, Latino and Asian women are ok with trannies coming into the locker rooms and lavatories? Is she insane?
