The author Michelle Goldberg utilizes the fallacy of cherry picking to depict the transgender community as one that is being victimized by radical feminist. Goldberg paints a barbaric image of radical feminists by presenting specific feminist groups who have openly expressed their resentment to trans women, thereby coaxing the reader to approach the situation using pathos. One of these groups is the Deep Green Resistance, a feminist group who refuse to “condemn the use of violence in the service of goals it considers just.” (Goldberg, 2) However, Goldberg ignores the fact that the radical feminist position is one that is based on sound logic reasoning consisting of female hardships experienced throughout history.
