Has this been posted already? It's from an email they sent. I saw it on Twitter so I'll be back with links.

Hang on. Any one who identifies as a woman or girl is a woman or girl?

So anyone at any age can identify to be a girl?

Incidentally, if I no longer exist, do I get to stop paying taxes?

Must check with my MP. It seems unfair, now I'm a mere figment of my own imagination.

It would be fascinating to send all these types to a Love Island type experience. Watching how they navigate their love lives when they can't be sure who is a suitable mate would be tragic educational.

FFS. Stupidity, gaslighting or cowardice of epic proportions.

As a tweet on that thread says, it's a declaration of doctrine, like the Nicene Creed in the Catholic mass. Religious fundamentalists passing gently out of reach of reality.

I think today I shall randomly stop believing there's any such thing as cows. And sugar. And Mondays. My fairies at the bottom of the garden say so.

This is both stupid and horrifying. Why are these places being run by confirmed idiots? How can they be trusted with anything when they have zero grounding in reality?

Well that's the human race fucked then.

I am getting more horrified at the erasing of women every day. So thankful that it is now starting to reach mainstream news, and that 'ordinary' people are realising what is going on.

"Action Aid understands that there is no such thing as a 'biologically female body.'" Wait, this can't be right- I thought that NO ONE was saying that biological sex didn't exist? I thought this was a vicious transphobic lie made up by JK Rowling? Seriously though, this is infuriating.

I'm waiting for agricultural groups to think this is true. Watch out for the "milk" supply once that happens.

The front page of their 'sponsor a child' webpage is mostly images of women and girls. But no, they are not biological females as they don't exist. I do hope they explain this to all the women and girls when they work with them.

Depressing.

That doesn't even make sense, even within the context of post-modernist reframed-post-colonial queer-questioning discourse.

Is it real??
