Socialist Feminist Network policy statement on gender ID.

Not sure if this has been shared already; its more readable than the title suggests.

I can only find right wing or faux news references to it.

It feels a bridge too far, even for the trans radicals.

But, if there’s one thing I have learnt, it’s that boundaries are not allowed to exist. So who knows.

The military guidelines are bad enough though. Females may have to pee while under direct (as in, close enough to see the pee come out) by a trans woman and they can’t object.

Great stuff!
Is "hysterical" an intentionally ironic word choice?

under direct observation

I found some slides ... who knows if they are real or not. They are not quite what was posted, but they are still pretty scary. Boils down to gender is a protected characteristic. Sex is not. The gender of a soldier can be altered in DEERS (the official register) according to 'feels' if these are supported my army medical people. The soldier does not need to transition surgically. Once they have been recorded in DEERS as the gender of their choice then that's that - they must shower in the appropriate barracks - i.e. if a soldier with a penis feels female then he is a she and must barrack with the women. The women must accept that hardship an lack of privacy are part of military life. All soldiers must be treated with dignity and respect.

Hoorah!

‘Queer theorists see the intimate connection between biological sex and oppression and react by trying to dismantle the notion of biological sex whilst socialists and feminists react by seeking to dismantle oppression’

Absolutely. Gender theory is regressive and does not address the actual issue of women's (and TIMs') oppression at all, it simply reinforces it.

Pleased to see this! Do they have a Twitter account?

I havent found a Twitter account yet, fingers crossed they can get the ball rolling.

This is great.

Brilliant. I'm not remotely socialist, but am very impressed by this statement.

I think they're @socfemnet on Twitter.

Wow.

Please, someone take notice of this.

Brilliant! Really clearly explained.
