“Dana Rivers Is the Story the Media Doesn't Want You to Read” | Substack

Michfest was a long-running lesbian music festival, cancelled in 2015 because radical trans activism — which is to say natal men who identify as women — made it unsafe. 
This is just a part of the story of a murderous trans-woman (ie born male) Dana Rivers. Rather too much quoted from Rivers self-published porn for my taste, but still a saga of the dark side of sex self-identification. Which, by the way, has just become law in Spain and Scotland: you can now say you are the opposite sex just by stating it; from age 16. What could go wrong? 
Well… what could go wrong is what’s written about in this essay.
Solving trans-women’s issues by trouncing rights of natal women is not solving rights at all.

Another lesbian Michfest-goer added, "Trans women were running through the woods showing festival-goers their junk and screaming at the gate. There were totally nude trans women in the showers, and women at the festival didn't want to shower or take children in there. There was also some incidents of people masturbating in public and screaming obscenities."
Like Rowling and Adichie, Vogel supports trans-identified rights. But nowhere, she sanely makes clear, should those rights ever include the right to destroy single-sex spaces. That is clearly and inherently an abusive demand.
