Id be very surprised if Bette Midler was transphobic. I swear Ive seen that exact same tweet posted by someone else, so its very possible that she copied and pasted it because (if youre not familiar with the current anti-trans rhetoric surrounding these terms) it could seem like its just a pro-woman/pro-choice sentiment. Plus shes really fucking old now and likely out of the loop with a lot of issues. At least thats what I hope this is.

Yet the supposed anger at Bette is that she said don't call women menstruators while calling for legal abortions.

Wrong. What she's saying clearly implies "don't call women stuff like 'people who menstruate' because only women can menstruate or conceive", totally ignoring that post-menopausal cis women won't be affected by this and those of us who menstruate but aren't women - trans men, and agender, two-spirit, or non-binary people assigned female at birth - will be.

She's arguing against linguistic inclusion in exactly the way JK Rowling was doing, and it's just as nasty and transphobic.

It's not their responsibility to speak for anybody but what they are.
Well that's just it. They're taking that responsibility and using it to exclude trans men in this case, and trans women in others.

At least thats what I hope this is.
That'd be nice, but she might want to get on that clarity, because TERFs are claiming her as their own right alongside JK Rowling.

I really hope Bette Midler just honestly misunderstood that "people with a uterus" is referring to cis women, trans men, and nonbinary people who are affected by the right's attack on reproductive and bodily rights. Anti-trans hate has been pushed hard by TERFs, the right, and media, so it's easy to fall into anti-trans rhetoric without meaning to.

Let's hope she understands why people are pushing back.

Rainn Wilson made a dumb comment recently and apologized after people told him it was dumb. Hopefully she goes that way and not Rowling

Exactly.

Transphobes are intentionally pushing their rhetoric like that, so it's triple important we call out usage of it.

Oh, Bette Midler is a TERF now
She always was.

She just agreed with the popularized narratives because nothing sounded different to HER definition of feminism until now. She's been clutching pearls for decades just like Barbara Streisand.

Apparently telling a user to get a life is moddable under offensive now for.hate speech? Not sure. But ok

Also Bette Midler just sucks in general:

I feel like its too easy just to throw shade over pedantry and language. I see tons of people go theyre not pro-life, theyre anti-women. But I assume because its a dig at the opposition no one goes to bat for inclusiveness there.
