Wokesters Attack Feminist Author of ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Over Her Criticism of Transgender Agenda
Margaret Atwood has been a leftist hero since the 1980s when she published the America-hating, anti-Christian, fantasy novel “The Handmaid’s Tale,” but now she is under attack over her distaste for the extremist transgender agenda.
The author of the dystopian, left-wing attack on men and America has been hailed as a liberal icon for her novel, but hardcore leftists are now beginning to turn on her because she isn’t quite as extreme as they want her to be.
Atwood recently posted a link to an opinion piece that attacked the left for erasing women in favor of satisfying the transgender movement’s demands that maintains that men can be women too.
Along with her editorial, Atwood posted a caption asking, “Why can’t we say ‘women’ anymore,” and the tweet is sending leftists into tirades of hatred.

The article by columnist Rosie DiManno blasts “trans activism run amok” citing various examples of the word “women” being awkwardly and bizarrely excised from modern writing.
“Certainly there are words — they are slurs mostly — that are no longer acceptable. ‘Woman’ shouldn’t be one of them,” DiManno correctly exclaimed. “The battleground of language has turned into a baffleground of agendas.”
Naturally, the hardcore, lunatic trans pushers turned on Atwood.
Per The Blaze:
“What the f***, Margaret?” read one response.
“Conjuring up an imaginary threat to the word ‘women’ based on a few examples of people on very specific fields using more technically accurate terminology is a transphobic conspiracy theory,” read another response.
“I’m disappointed you shared this because it’s factually untrue. We can still say ‘woman’ & we can also say ‘people’ when it makes sense to use more inclusive language. I’m nonbinary. I also menstruate and gave birth to 3 kids. Saying ‘people with periods’ includes women AND me,” replied one critic.
“Oh look you’re angry language is finally starting to include people like me. Disappointed in you. But not shocked,” tweeted another critic.
“How disappointing. I expected better from you,” responded another detractor.
“[T]he piece has so much transphobic ideology and language you cannot tell me that you’ve read this piece and genuinely believe she is not being transphobic,” read another.
The attacks went on and on.
I just love it when leftists turn on each other.
