LESBIAN FEMINIST defends 'misgendering'.

"Acknowleding biological sex is not inhumane. It’s actually inhumane to force women to share intimate spaces with male people who call themselves women. ... So I don’t see any problem with calling someone male or female, man or woman, beause these are words that refer to biological reality. ... We need to acknowledge biological sex. Doing so is not inhumane."

The lesbian [Julia Beck] was testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). She testified that the gender identity protections in the law undermine the central goal of keeping women safe from "male violence."

She also strongly objected to the idea that if a biological male identifies as a woman, everyone else has to refer to that person as female and use female pronouns.

I was right; "It" is a proper personal pronoun....
