Action Aid - no such thing as a biological female

If they think the issues are too complex for them maybe they should just ask some of the recipients of their aid to explain it to them using very small words.

Biological sex is the root of a lot of gender dysphoria, so maybe they should specify how they believe trans people can exist, first?
This.
If there's no biological sex then there's no trans either.

These are complex issues..

Are they though?

Fucking idiots.

Is there any way of making sure the trustees connect all these cancellations with the trans issue? You’d like to think the link is obvious, but....

When will they learn they are being played?

20 years, 4 different children sponsored, and now this.

Direct debit cancelled and email sent explaining why.

Badly done, ActionAid.

I can't tell from that statement whether they believe that biological sex exists or not? I mean, it sounds like they do, otherwise what is the difference between sex and gender, but that would mean they were lying previously and are not mentioning or acknowledging that?

Why does a trans inclusion policy have anything to do with whether biological sex exists? Biological sex is the root of a lot of gender dysphoria, so maybe they should specify how they believe trans people can exist, first?

So they probably won’t mention it again?

I can't see if this has been posted here apologies if so

www.actionaid.org.uk/latest-news/actionaid-uk-trustees-statement-on-trans-inclusion

We recognise the specific discrimination that trans women and girls face. ActionAid UK also believes that both sex- and gender-based discrimination are deeply embedded in the patriarchal structures operating in the countries ActionAid works in.
We take the topic of inclusion very seriously; however, trustees have not yet had the opportunity to discuss a trans inclusion policy in relation to the organisation’s charitable mission working with women and girls in the world’s poorest countries.
Trustees are committed to doing so. These are complex issues that require consideration and consultation with our stakeholders and rights-holders.
ActionAid is committed to being an inclusive organisation for everyone and we are working with our staff, stakeholders and rights-holders to develop clear policies that recognise the rights and needs of everyone.
We do not believe this can be done with the respect it deserves over social media.

No backbones or thought in any of these charities

So I see that mencap has gone full pride flag+++ on their twitter icon. That’s interesting.

So...Women are low status and their pesky safeguarding should to be ignored and gay people can be safely converted to trans people to appease the religious types that are against gay relationships.

Corporate backed misogyny.
Charity promoted negligence.
Modern day homophobia.

Sums it up,this

But all the money poured into trans rights - is there anyone setting up charities to set up separate facilities, or centres, health facilities (for their unique post-op needs), research into long term effects of drugs...

No- they seem to spend the money elsewhere.

Thankfully this bullshit hasn't seeped into our fundraising, but it's poisoning things from behind the scenes.

I think they may have locked their comments on twitter. Funny that.

Well that’s my monthly direct debit to them cancelled.

I’ll be sure to email them to tell them why.

These NGOs and charities could tick the trans inclusion box just fine and dandy by saying, 'You know what, we definitely want to include trans boys and women particularly in countries like Afghanistan and Albania, where girls and women present or are presented by their families as boys and men, and really explore the reasons for this in all these different cultural contexts. And, from there, explore whether terms like 'trans' have any useful historical and social meanings in these different local contexts, rather than 'trans' being the latest western colonial fad inflicted by our employees on the relatively powerless via a potentially ignorant misappropriation of poorly understood anthropological tropes.'

I live in hope.

Virtue signalling, avoiding the abuse from certain quarters that would come if they insisted on a straightforward definition of biological sex, and collecting funding from sponsor organisations who require them to tick the "trans inclusion" box. In current times, it is safer for any organisation - NGOs, schools, hospitals, media - to be seen as anti-female than risk being seen as anti-trans. We need to change that
cost/benefit calculation.

The problem seems to be with the UK based PR and fundraising types who know nothing of the real work their own organisation does and just want to please the woke crowd.

In which case the UK based PR and fundraising types are fucking their own organisation over for the sake of ideological virtue signalling.

People as far as I'm concerned can identify however they like and feel safe and accepted doing it BUT you just can't deny biology! I'm sorry but to deny a scientific fact that has kept the human race replicating for millennia is up there with Flat Earthers!

I wonder honestly how long it will be before developing world people get forced to sit through first world white organisation lectures about gender ideology and the non existence of biology before being allowed to get the services/resources those organisations provide

I'd place bets that this is happening. Aid workers always spread their ideology. And gender ID ideology is spreading from the English speaking world, it's already been used to silence Indian feminists, and it's huge in Brazil

One of the worrying things is how much it may be used to further homophobia. I'm sure that these charities are working in a lot of countries which are intensely homophobic, and would be pretty open to the ideology that gay people are actually souls trapped in the wrong body

I'd really want to know how Action Aid is using this ideology on the ground. But honestly, I bet all of the charities are at it, now it is the fashionable ideology
