Oprnbletter from Irish Feminists

[Wobbleslikeaweeble]

Stumbled on this and was surprised it hadn’t attracted more discussion - was posted on the activism board though so not sure if it passed a lot of folk by. I saw a reply from an Irish Radfem the other day on twitter which was interesting.

Womble, could you link to the radfem reply? I didn't think we had rad fems over here

I'll be honest, seeing Aoife Martin plug this letter turned me off completely and I've only scanned the text. Like others commented on the other thread, I lost interest after cis. I've just read through the signatories properly. Oddly I know a few retweeters who seem not to have signed it.

Feminists do not refer to women as isomers, neither cis nor trans.

There was already a thread on this on the feminism board, Martin got involved, lots of posts deleted.

Response mentioned above

Grainne, we do have radfems here, we're just getting together. Those fuckwits who wrote that ridiculous letter don't speak for us. Several of the ringleaders are American which is ironic considering the "get out you colonialists" tone of it.

Thanks for the link, Cunstance. Have pm'd you
