Ha! I was just coming here to post Abigail's recent substack offering, which I got in my email, and here it is 1st on my news feed. She has finally convinced me that gender is a religion. I resisted that idea because the purpose of religion (in a purer sense) is to foster spiritual connection in seekers. But religion is often used as a source of power and control, and there gender mimics the worst of authoritarian religions. I was more struck by her contention that we not winning this war, despite a few encouraging developments. I have been feeling this strongly. I think people on Terf Island may have a sense of euphoria, but elsewhere things are grim. And it's very very hard to keep up interest and to keep speaking up. Women I knew online who were speaking about this 10 years ago--I don't see or hear about them anymore. I've seen so many get exhausted and drop off the radar.
