Sheila Jeffreys’ source is now stalking trans kids
A source Sheila Jeffreys used to construct her sex essentialist anti-trans book, Gender Hurts is currently stalking trans kids. “I am grateful, too, to the new wave of radical feminism both online and offline. Radical feminist bloggers such as… Dirt from ‘Dirt from Dirt’, among others, have provided invaluable factual material, references and ideas on their blogs, without which it would have been harder to write this book. Indeed, over the period that this book has been incubating, radical feminist bloggers strengthened and clarified my analysis.” – Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts, Acknowledgements The below conversation is between a trans advocate and the account run by a collective of TERF opinion leaders. The TERF account expressly endorses the harassment of children in the hopes that their adult gaze and assessment might make transition too difficult to undertake for other trans kids. Notes: 1.) To be clear, while these individuals may self-identify

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“Sheila Jeffreys’ source is now stalking trans kids” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to feminism and gender politics, while also engaging sex and gender classification. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
The article may have historical value because it explicitly interprets or preserves material concerning feminism and gender politics. Published in 2015 by The TERFs, it can be read both for the history it describes and as evidence of how sex and gender classification was framed at that moment.
