I remember reading that review and thinking, phew, it's not just me then, someone else sees the Self Proclaimed Empress of Feminism has no clothes /arguments worth more than a cursory glance to confirm that yes, it's still All About Her and frequently viciously bigoted against anyone Not Her.
Since Greer's writing has never rung true tested against my cis het mother of two experience, I would never expect her to have the remotest insight into something as complex as trans issues. For one thing I recall something or other she was going on about when my kids were small where her so-called facts were a decade out of date. She's so convinced of her own intuitive genius she doesn't bother with research as far as I can see.
Her manipulation of the media and others over all this has been blatant and contemptible as far as I am concerned. The damage she does to all women and to our contemporary, inclusive, intersectional feminism makes me furious.
