Hollywood star Bette Midler has begged the “woke” mob not to cancel her for attacking the Left’s radical gender agenda.
As Slay News previously reported, Midler issued a bizzare statement on Twitter where she complained that women are being erased.
Midler grumbled about the far-left “gender identity” agenda, which she appeared to blame the Supreme Court for.
“WOMEN OF THE WORLD!” Midler blasted.
“We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives, and even of our name!
“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!” she declared.
“Every human on earth owes you!”

The comments drew a mixture of confused mockery and accusations of hypocrisy but mostly outrage from the “woke” Left.
Among other things, the cancel mob labeled Midler a “transphobe” and a “TERF” – “transgender-exclusionary radical feminists.”
After the backlash, she followed up with a new statement, saying: “PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!
“My tweet about women was a response to this fascinating and well-written piece in the NYT on July 3rd.
“There was no intention of anything exclusionary or transphobic in what I said; it wasn’t about that.
“It was about the same old shit women – ALL WOMEN – have been putting up with since the cavemen.
“Even then, men got top billing.
“But seriously, folks, if anyone who read that tweet thinks I have anything but love for any marginalized people, go to Wikipedia and type in my name.
“I’ve fought for marginalized people for as long as I can remember.
“Still, if you want to dismiss my 60 years of proven love and concern over a tweet that accidentally angered the very people I have always supported and adored, so be it.
“But the truth is, Democracy is slipping through our fingers!
“I’m all in on trying to save Democracy for ALL PEOPLE.
“We must unite, because, in case you haven’t been paying attention, divided we will definitely fall.”
