Liberty says:
If feminism is fundamentally about inclusivity, equality and empowerment then the fight for trans equality should be a feminist issue
I don't get how this is a rational argument. When did feminism become a cover-all for 'being inclusive and empowering to absolutely everyone'?
Then it's not feminism. It's just a standard base approach to humanity that we all should be subsribing to anyway.
I took a look at the Liberty team. Many have come from backgrounds of supporting children and vulnerable women.
How could you lose your way so much that suddenly 'feminism' doesn't equal 'women', it just equals 'everyone'?
Then I looked at their history:
We can never take our liberty for granted, and in times of economic instability and social upheaval, our basic rights come under attack. In 1934, as desperate people protested against poverty, corruption and the threat of fascism, the Council of Civil Liberties was formed to protect them, to champion the rights of ordinary people and hold the powerful to account. For 80 years we have been the conscience of the nation, and we are needed now as we were then to keep watch over our rights and freedoms.
Then I took a look at their current funders and thought, ah well.
