Not likely to shake the political world but thought its good to know some small fringe groups are listening to women!

... Those of us committed to a Marxism based on material reality, and one which challenges wrong ideas, cannot accept it. In Britain and Ireland women are asserting that their sex is real. Labelling them as fascists is just one more misogynistic insult. ...

yeahbutnaw, you claim to speak for the “vast majority of feminists”.
Given that a feminist is someone who supports women’s rights, including the right to single sex spaces, I believe you are mistaken.
What evidence do you have for your assertion that the majority of feminists support the eradication of their own sex based rights and definition?

@Ereshkigalangcleg

The vast majority of feminists don't agree with the anti-trans ideology so prevalent here.

Surveyed them all, have we? And pro women and girls is not "anti trans" Confused

I know. You keep agreeing with my point.

You can be pro-women's rights and pro-trans rights. The vast majority of non-mumsnetters are.

@334bu

Since when were feminists anti trans? Pro women, pro defending sex based rights yes .
They're not. That's precisely my point.

The vast majority of feminists don't agree with the anti-trans ideology so prevalent here. The vast majority don't believe that trans rights are the biggest threat to women's rights.

Pro women and girls and ensuring that the rights that women and girls have under the equality act to single sex spaces are upheld

Think you spelt 'pro-women' wrong there, yeah...

Perhaps "Anti trans feminists aren't fascists" would be a more honest description.

yeahbutnaw · 07/04/2021 17:16

I don't think anyone would argue with the statement that "feminists aren't fascists".

But it's also true that most feminists don't subscribe to anti-trans ideology. So there's that.
