Are we seeing the irony here? Rowling is being abused for defending HER identity, as a woman. The identity of women has been suppressed for thousands of years, and now in the final disrespecting of it, anybody can 'identify' as a woman. Like something out of an online catalogue.There's ageism too, Rowling, Greer and Paglia get called 'old bigots', as if they just haven't moved with the times. This debate won't be resolved by righteousness, it will be resolved by the bloody hard work of looking at the absurd ideas in play here.
