| h/t Instapundit [Telegraph] A radical feminist has been warned by a judge to refer to the transgender defendant as a "she" during an assault case. Maria Maclachlan, 61, was giving evidence against Tara Wolf, 26, whom she claims tried to attack her at a rally, knocking her to the floor. ...District Judge Kenneth Grant warned Ms MacLachlan to refer to Miss Wolf as "she" while giving evidence. He said: "The defendant wished to be referred to as a woman, so perhaps you could refer to her as 'she' for the purpose of the proceedings." Ms MacLachlan replied: "I'm used to thinking of this person who is a male as male." The row was the latest in an ongoing battle between Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs), who believe that transwomen should not be given the same rights as those born female, and transgender activists. Every sh*t that happens in USA happens first in Britain? |

| #2 should not be given the same rights If all are equal, then why object? However if you are confusing 'rights' with 'power', I understand your confusion. |

| #1 How about if Maclachlan calls the other thing it? Personally I'd prefer "nut bag" but I'm sure there'd be an objection. |
