Bette Midler Pushes Back On Trans Issue w/ Navratilova & Chris Evert - I’m an old lesbian and would never advocate discriminating against anyone but I do believe they have carried this battle for personal freedom, to the point of being ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with the reality that you belong to a unique category of human beings. To get upset and pretend that I am wishing harm to you because I don’t play the game of ‘let’s pretend that I am something that I’m not,’ does not mean I wish you harm. I use the pronouns you prefer because I am polite.
