Does anyone know what their position is on gen crit stuff?

I have looked but I obviously don't read too well because I can't work it out I do read well but it's very opaque

Anyone know? Before I blow the Christmas budget on humorous feminist merchandise.

They asked a fucking idiotic question didn't they?

They can't claim to understand the difference between sex and gender if they then ask the public questions that conflate the two! Or at least they can't understand the importance of the difference.

Fuck sake.

That too. I just find it weird that it says -

This is our position:

We asked some questions.
The end.

Oh and to answer your question.... it's opaque. I read well and am pretty good at deciphering "estate agent speak" but that statement is not exactly informative or decisive!

I suspect it’s not entirely unintentional that it’s, um, unclear.

Also why mention the questions they asked the public if they're not going to share the response and how it's shaped their policy

Depends exactly how inclusive they see feminism as...

They should have just let the first paragraph stand alone.

The questions to the public are very confused.

I suppose the fact that it's clearly deliberately a bit vagued up hives me hope for them. As does the focus on biological sex.

I suppose I just wondered if anyone here had any insider knowledge or could translate (beyond 'please leave us alone TRAs we really don't want a big shout fight with you and OJ')

I remember seeing an exchange on FB between gender crit feminists & Devon Fawcett society that didn't end well for the latter... they ended up getting tied in logical knots and sounding badly advised.

Oooh, the old ''let's carefully word the questions to give us the answers we want''.
