Woolly ideals by liberal activists have no place

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has run into the same backlash she experienced last year when she insisted that transgender women were not ‘women’ in the traditional sense of the word. In an interview on Britain’s Channel 4 News, Adichie said: “When people talk about, ‘Are trans women women?’ my feeling is trans-women are trans-women.”

On the face of it, that’s a pretty innocuous statement. Transgender-women are indeed transgender-women. Put otherwise, they are biological males who feel that they were assigned the wrong gender at birth.
