Biological SEX MATTERS. How many mumsnetters say "aye" to this campaign?

SexMatters · 05/03/2018 10:34

This document and campaign called 'Sex Matters' is a collaborative effort by amazing and knowledgeable mumsnetters on a couple of threads in FWR.

To move forward with the campaign, the organisations and individuals approached will need to know who is behind it, and the honest truth, is that mumsnetters have spearheaded it.

That does not mean that other campaigners can't get involved or even take greater ownership of it. But it needs a bio in order to introduce it to people and organisations to get started and I need your consent to describe the campaign this way: 'mumsnetter led' (and maybe even some suggestions for writing a bio on this thread).

So, you amazing gender-critical mumsnetters, do you say 'aye'?

aye

I think MNHQ have done a lot for this issue.

But, this document is too wide. For some of us, separating the sexes for education or anything other than those aspect of life that directly impinge on their physicality is a No. Sport, prison, changing rooms - yes, definitely.

But we’re in danger of losing the sense that we can compete intellectually and emotionally As equals.

Clonakiltylil · 05/03/2018 19:19

I’m in too.

KennDodd · 05/03/2018 19:24

I can't read it. I get a message requesting access to my email address, then message disappears. This also happens with the other format. Can you copy and paste to the thread?

BoogieFeet · 05/03/2018 19:27

Aye

SexMatters · 05/03/2018 19:27

buttered you are throwing lesbians and gays under the bus. Shouldn't they be able to have date nights for same-sex attracted people only?

Its not just about safety- it is about the right to gather and associate.

KenDodd - here is a temporary source you can read it with odd formatting (won't work well on a mobile device).

I think "lesbians and gay people" is seen as more polite than "homosexuals".

SexMatters · 05/03/2018 19:31

Also buttery there are issues of privacy, dignity, choice, etc.

Aye

misscockerspaniel · 05/03/2018 19:32

Aye

SexMatters · 05/03/2018 19:33

'Homosexuals' has that magic word 'sex' in it.
Lesbians and gays has been colonised already.

sanluca · 05/03/2018 19:35

Aye

CardsforKittens · 05/03/2018 19:36

I can't say aye, for reasons similar to some that have already been expressed, but I will defend your right to campaign.

BTW, is that a typo on p. 3? Section 3. iv should have a full stop and then a capital T for 'this' to match the other examples?

BetsyM00 · 05/03/2018 19:37

Aye.

I have the same reservations about the word segregation as several others do. But it is linguistically accurate and I've worn out the thesaurus trying, and failing, to find a better word. It will be pounced upon by detractors though, can it withstand that?

OvaHere · 05/03/2018 19:37

Aye from me too

SexMatters · 05/03/2018 19:38

thanks kittens
