gender-critical

Anti-trans feminist stance

Gender-critical describes the view that biological sex is immutable and distinct from gender identity, and that policies allowing people to self-identify their gender threaten women's sex-based rights and protections.

Those holding this position reject the term "transphobic" as a smear, while critics consider the stance inherently hostile to transgender people.

Gender-critical feminists oppose allowing trans women in women's shelters.
