If identity is what you are and not just what you say you are, AKA the real definition and not this Orwellian crap, then those are the same thing.

It's such a punk move. It's one thing if someone wants to talk shit, but don't talk shit and then act offended when the other person talks shit back. I don't see how anyone could respect someone like that. Even if I was a Democrat and supported trans rights, I couldn't vote for someone who cries about name calling literally moments after they were name calling. It shows directly that this is a person who thinks rules should apply to others but not herself. Like this person is undeniably a hypocrite.

[@GnarledSage]

They just repeat words without knowing their meaning. She had no idea what misogynist meant. Probably someone told her and only then she got “offended”. Dumb hypocrites. (Dumbocrites, called by some, democrats).

how is it ok for lee to call them transphobes but she's not a misogynist?! didn't lee 'engage in personalities'?!!

[@TheBaggyT]

Yes, that's why she withdrew the point of order at the end of the video. The people talking to her (off-mic) basically told her she would have to withdraw her own comment if she wanted Riley's comment withdrawn. That's why Riley said "IF my opening testimony makes me transphobic, THEN I BELIEVE your opening monologue makes you a misogynist." It was a very well-worded statement.

[@Boppinabe]

According to Lee, the feelings of a few trans athletes trump the rights and safety of women. Which makes her a misogynist.
