Bette Midler has infuriated supporters of transgender rights by claiming that the word 'women' is 'being erased' in favor of woke terms such as 'birthing people' and 'menstruators'.
The 76-year-old actress and gay icon tweeted on Monday: 'WOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name!'
She added: 'They don't call us 'women' anymore; they call us 'birthing people' or 'menstruators', and even 'people with vaginas'!
'Don't let them erase you! Every human on earth owes you!'
Midler's comments generated a swift reaction, with 11,000 retweets and 61,000 likes in less than 12 hours.
She appeared to be referring to a New York Times opinion piece published Sunday.
That saw columnist Pamela Paul blast the use of terms such as 'birthing people' and 'menstruators.'
Supporters say the controversial terms are inclusive of transgender men and non-binary people, but critics say they effectively erase another historically-oppressed minority - women.
Tennis icon Martina Navratilova - who has herself angered trans activists by questioning whether it's fair to let trans women compete in some sports - was among Midler's supporters.
She said: 'Careful Bette- you will be called transphobic too or worse…,' she said, with the 'horrified' emoji.

Everyone knew once homosexuality got normalized, that it wasn’t going to stop there.
I agree completely although “miraculous members of babymaking tandems” would be a better label for straights than the denigrative “breeders”.
At minimum, Republicans need to commit to keeping pro-life legislation at state level for the next 2.5 years, since the Presidency is going to be controlled by Biden or Harris for the next 2.5 years.
I don’t need Republicans in Congress to make a show of pro-life legislation that they know will not become law while Biden or Harris control the Presidency, and I passionately oppose any pro-abortion legislation at national level and recognize that some Republicans in Congress would sign onto pro-abortion legislation if they believed they could get away with that.
All of the trans mania began the day after SCOTUS made up a right to “gay marriage.” Days after trans issues were on the cover of TIME. These folks have an organized agenda and go through it step by step.
But when I read that big pharma and the medical industry stands to make over $1.2 million per “transgender” I then realized this is a war on American children mixing the pedophile Marxist left with greedy drug companies. Add up $70,000 per genitalia mutilation surgery. Chemical castration. A lifetime of hormones. All of the medical destruction caused by the above. You’ve got a seven-figure score for the medical industry per child they destroy.
Marxists love destroying the institutions that make our country strong. Turn children against parents. Make them wards or the state. Make them open to fight for their “rights” by joining the far left. Open to sex abuse, demon worshipping, celebrating sin, and permanently dependent on government to pay for the extraordinary medical costs. Sure, a good percentage will be dead from suicide early in life but that’s good for the planet. Less people means less greenhouse gas emissions. So all a win for the leftists.
There’s always been an uneasy alliance of the left to destroy our country. Muslims side with gays - for now - until they s wire power and toss them off buildings. Blacks and Hispanics hate each other. Feminists and transgenders have opposite views but team up to destroy the “patriarchy” (we actually live in a matriarchy in America - men die in wars and women outlive men by seven years with no medical explanation). But they also side together. For now.
Milder began her career singing kn bath houses and with a devoted homosexual audience. I suppose she’s old enough and rich enough to say what she wants. But she’s about to enter J. K. Rowling zone. Will be a pariah after this. Fun to watch.
The left is a concatenation of various lunatics amd wacko groups. Its held together by a mutual greed and hatred of anything that isnt insane. And the higher you go in the ranks of the Party the more insane it gets. Only their rank incompetence keeps them from creating even more havoc.
“they effectively erase another historically-oppressed minority - women.”
Women are a minority. Who knew? Lolol.
It is now a valid question for every state politician.
Bette Midler has really become WOKE!
She is seeing where the slippery slope of the feminist movement is taking women...a place where real women become second class citizens to the fake women.
Sorry Bette you have discovered what many others before you have discovered, once you entered the WOKE plantation you are not allowed to disagree with any new set of standards or you will be cast aside as a “right wing” extremist.
This is the world you helped to make, Bette. Ever since you started your career in gay bath houses with Barry Manilow.
Embrace the suck.
No wonder these kids shoot up places, our glitterati are sicker than they are and these are the people with the megaphones that the media worships.
Worse... chronic lapse of reason!
The quote by Bette Midler I will always remember: “Ugly women have p#ssies too!”
Bette getting attacked by the left is great. The scene from the movie Patton comes to mind where he talks about how much he loves fighting.

ROFL!!!
Beast Midler is right ... but she should know that feminism created the sex-confused “rights” monster.
Here is a libtard ranting about his own party. You want to laugh? Caution: he says a few cuss words.
cue to 1:26 mark
BINGO
Bette Midler is not wrong about this, IMHO
A movie I’ve never seen. I’d love to see it on the big screen.
Bette has a new movie coming out (Hocus Pocus 2) and she is just trying to drum up some publicity for her lame acting skills.
