The US is a living experiment of how a diverse liberal society self-destructs, and other Western countries march closely behind it.

“Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas are two of the biggest feminists on the Supreme Court. This, anyway, is the conclusion you would be forced to reach if you followed the logic of the TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) movement, which for years has argued that trans people must be discriminated against to “protect” women, and which now finds itself standing with those men on the wrong side of history. The Supreme Court’s 6–3 ruling on Monday that queer and trans employees are protected under Title VII is a milestone for gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, who for decades have fought for equal employment protections. It is also, even more significantly, the first major decision about trans rights by the Supreme Court. The victory has rightfully been celebrated. But equality advocates would be wise to pay close attention to the dissenting opinions by Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito — because their arguments are aligned all too closely with conventional TERF talking points. Alito’s dissent, in which Thomas joined, echoed TERF rhetoric point for point: “For women who have been victimized by sexual assault or abuse, the experience of seeing an unclothed person with the anatomy of a male in a confined and sensitive location such as a bathroom or locker room can cause serious psychological harm,” he wrote. This argument has been raised in the past by figures ranging from Mike Huckabee to the trans-exclusionary Women’s Liberation Front. It also appeared, in a slightly different version, in British author J.K. Rowling’s TERF manifesto, published late last week, wherein she argued that trans rights would “throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman” and “[play] fast and loose with women’s and girls’ safety.”
