    What an intelligent lady I love her non victim attitude
  • @franci.f.
    Why "radical" feminist? this woman is not radical, she simply communicates the truth, without manipulation and propaganda. The truth bothers those who have a political agenda or those who do not want to see the truth. Always seek the truth and the truth will set you free.

    This woman has more balls than 90% of these male reporters on TV who are afraid to say how they really feel about trans “woman” because I promise you almost all of them feel exactly how this woman feels, they are just too afraid of being called “transphobic” and getting fired and called a crazy bigot. Smh this world just gets worse and worse, god why wasn’t I born in the 70’s 😫😫 I’m only 25 but yet agree way more with how old people think than 90% of people my age.

    You can’t change somethings in this world, your age, height, race and most importantly gender. Transgender “women” or gender converts are still men.

    I’ve saw another interview with her on YouTube but the comments were disabled. I agree with her 1000%. She basically takes all the emotional reasons out of the trans argument and just sticks with the facts. People can do what they want to make themselves feel good but not everyone has to accept it.

    God bless you Germaine Greer for saying the truth loud and clear!!!
  • @CathyKitson
    I don't always agree with her, but there is only one word for the hatred and opprobrium heaped upon her - FASCISM. EVERYBODY has the right to say whatever the hell they like, as long as they're not calling for people to be killed or something. It's her OPINION and she's entitled to it. If people don't like it, they don't have to listen to her. I'm sick and tired of everybody being told what to think and what to say. When did free speech die??

    I don’t always agree with Ms Greer but I respect she neither expects or looks for that nor social approval/fame. She speaks her truth and comes from a place of experience, intelligence and critical independent thought and is clear her views are opinions. I stay opened minded to change my mind if/when enough credible info is presented and her view on transgender has given me a new way of seeing it. Edit: she also makes me laugh about what can be serious subjects. That reminds me Alan Watts. It’s all a game on this level. Also good reminder we in the west don’t and never did have all the right answers or at all. 🙏👏

    Sounds like a good thing Greer is advocating here - to understand and accept that there is diversity in sex beyond male and female, and their associated gender attributes, therefore we shouldn't be medicalising this and resorting to surgical outcomes. If we shift our societal mind set, people should be able to live healthily in their bodies without surgery and drugs. I think that's her message which I think is wonderful and positive. Greer is so intelligent and brilliant (and funny), I hope I'm on the right track here. Thanks for sharing. Always good to hear her views.
  • @tonycairns6728
    Intersex isn't a '3rd Sex'. It's an umbrella term for rare DSD's, which cause extreme complexity in defining sex (M/F). There's no 3rd gamete in Nature. Saying that everyone is bisexual is pretty random. I doubt that's true either. Greer seemed much more lucid in the interview with Kirsty Wark.
  • @Soccox
    Germaine Greer is a very intelligent, open and honest person— who tells it like it is. It’s a shame the world is lacking in people with such wisdom
  • @Ana-xk6qe
    This is What a true feminist looks like
  • @zephyrr914
    She’s not a radical feminist. She’s an amazing woman speaking her mind. Just cuz someone doesn’t agree with what she says doesn’t make her radical. We all think so many things. We are all different. Doesn’t make some radical.
  • @msrainbowbrite
    "We are all bi-sexual" ... can someone explain that one to me? i am not bi-sexual and can''t imagine being attracted to a female
  • @Mira-gu6we
    Trans people and intersex people are considered the third gender here in india. They are respected as a seperate third gender. They arent considered the same as men or women.
