The magazine that's spent decades telling you you're too fat, too old, too unfashionable, too unsuccessful, too poor and too unfeminine now wants you to know you're too obsessed with "narrow ideals of womanhood" https://t.co/b630eUhRW3

It’s sad to see a gym committed to inclusivity fall into the trap of excluding trans women — and, no doubt, extremely painful for trans women to see their validity as women called into question….

However, Barnett’s gym policy is just one small piece in a much broader picture of anti-trans sentiment and transmisogyny (misogyny aimed at trans women).

The policing of trans women’s inclusion in sport and continued efforts to push them out of women’s spaces is often justified under the banner of ‘protecting biological women’.

But when we fall into the trap of defining women in strictly biological terms, we harm all women — reinforcing restrictive definitions of womanhood and encouraging greater scrutiny of gender norms.

Ah yes, transmisogyny. It's the new transphobia.
