Really? Does that mean GW was too? Like I said, not a fan of Cheney or the GOP but there’s a difference between their upholding a democracy vs fascism which destroys and replaces democracy with authoritarianism. Our democracy checked Cheney and he abided by it. A fascist would not have.

Trans people have exhaustively detailed the links between the anti-trans and anti-abortion movements, we warned that transphobia was a wedge issue for the religious right to roll back women's rights, only for us to be ignored, and of course UK TERFs are setting their sights on abortion.
Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.
