Your solution to the gender cult-de-sac (see what I did there?) the Harris campaign finds itself in is both elegant and straightforward. In fact, the almost exact same formulation was promoted energetically by the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick during the recent election there. They lost, badly. With mitigating factors.
Then again, I live in what Julie Bindel repeatedly refers to as Tranada. Trump’s campaign only convinces Canada’s federally funded journalistic elites that they must be right about a topic they refuse to tackle in any substantive manner. You won’t find many Helen Joyces or Kathleen Stocks here. The one true feminist TRA dissenter got red-pilled years ago; she then moved to Mexico.
Movement on this one issue would cement a win in the Electoral College for Harris even after sacrificing a couple of points in the popular vote.
Hi Helen! Not sure where to post this, but Bluestocking #342 showed up in my inbox but doesn't seem to be available on Substack - it's not listed in your archive, and when I click on either the title or the "like" button in the email I get a 404 Page Not Found error. I didn't think your take was so radioactively hot you'd have taken it down already...
Great Atlantic article! It’s been a real worry that the acquiescence to trans activist policies would tank the election for the Democrats. It seems crazy that no one would think of how this plays in normie circles.
I've been thinking on similar lines about AI quite a bit recently. Scrawled in my journal this week "Then there's the secret ingredient, the one that gives the human author the edge, and it's the heart, the love that drives them day by day to keep putting that little piece of themselves on the page... As a reader I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to know that heart and soul went into the writing."

Their reluctance is staggeringly dumb.
As always, the gift article is happily received.
Cheers.
There's something very refreshing about Helen's writing.
Always lucid, sharp, original, funny and kind of edgy.
very true!

I only hope you're right on the US election... I could do with being able to sleep at night.
