Chimamanda stirred a storm over the weekend with these statements about transgender women.
Millennial feminists on social media are mad at Chimamanda for this extremely tame interview. It's hilarious. https://t.co/31p2BQ7hrW

The suggestion that it is unwise to conflate the issues of women and transwomen seems perfectly sensible. Not on the internet! TRANSPHOBIA!

Chimamanda is learning that you can't win with third-wave social media feminists. You must accept all of their ideological absurdities!

This is the problem with third-wave feminism. Transgenderism has taken center stage and actual women's issues are on the back-burner.

It's interesting how the icons of second-wave feminism do not stand for the centering of transgenderism—from bell hooks to Germaine Greer.

Chimamanda's comment is tame compared to what second-wave feminist academic Germaine Greer said about transwomen. https://t.co/D6DoyViBJT

While it's good to read bloggers, you should keep up with what actual scholars have to say. Social media feminism has some folks confused.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is an Igbo woman. If you think you're going to bully her into ideological conformity, you don't know Igbos. pic.twitter.com/Bk8zImvPE6
