While most feminists support transgender rights, a small but vocal group\u2014commonly called \u201cTERFs\u201d or gender-critical feminists\u2014argue for &#8220;sex-based rights&#8221; that exclude trans women. Drawing from recent research, Jordyn highlights how this perspective relies on rigid and outdated notions of biological sex and often aligns with conservative political agendas. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/editors\/2025\/07\/25\/tsps-summer-of-sociology-reading-list-2025\/\">TSP\u2019s Summer of Sociology Reading List, 2025<\/a> spans a wide range of sociological themes\u2014from youth mental health and labor to nationalism, race, and identity.
