I think one of the curiosities of the right recently taking a sceptical interest in trans ideology is that, particularly on social media, there are loads of 'terfy' left-wing feminist women who have been talking about this for years, and they seem to be having something of a feminist influence on right-leaning folks.
- PaulHoule 3y agoFeminists have lined up with cultural conservatives before. The movement to get women the vote in the U.S. was aligned with the movement for alcohol prohibition.

Mormons give off this “Stepford Wives” vibe but when I gave blood at the Mormon temple I found many more women giving blood than I’ve ever seen. Women waiting in line were talking about all sorts of adventures they’d been on, for instance the Mormons are now sending many women to do missionary activity all over the world.
