Trans Activists Have No Right to Pervert the English Language: Quillette Cetera Episode 2
Shannon Fentiman, Queensland’s Minister for Health, is sworn in just one week after she told reporters “anyone who identifies as a woman is a woman”.
Today we discuss Claire's latest essay in The Australian. Here's a section of it:
'"Woman. Noun. Adult human female,” read the sticker applied to Queensland MP Shannon Fentiman’s office window. Walking past the window at the Waterford Shopping Centre in Logan, one might have assumed the sticker belonged to Fentiman. She was, until Thursday, Queensland’s Minister for Women.
But one would’ve been mistaken. “I know the sticker doesn’t look like it says much, and most people will be lucky enough to be unaffected by what it says,” Fentiman wrote on her Instagram page. “But for some people in our community, these stickers represent much more – they represent a movement which discriminates against them and denies their existence.”'
Apologies in advance, the audio wasn't great in this episode. Expect better quality audio, and even, wait for it, intro music, in the coming weeks!
