"This was a talk I gave to the Essex Feminist Collective meeting in Colchester, Essex on 21 June 2018. The meeting opened with the meeting convener explaining to the women present that the ‘trans issue’ had derailed the ability of the group to undertake feminist work, work that centres females. I opened my talk emphasising that transgender people are human beings, and what sucks is transgender ideology. Anyway, here’s the raw text…
We have been reminded this year of the fight for women’s suffrage, one hundred years since The Representation of the People Bill was passed, allowing women over the age of 30 and men over the age of 21 to vote.
The year before this on International Women’s Day 1917, striking workers in Russia, many of whom were of course women, took to the streets to protest against food shortages and the war. The protests spread, within a week the Tsar was gone and so began the 1917 Revolution.
If you think one hundred years on the battle is over, you’re wrong: there is a greater threat now to the rights of women than at any other time in history.
The first casualty of war is truth, in the last world war propaganda was used as an instrument of subversion. Through the Cold War the same pattern continued, with propaganda being used not just to control a country’s own citizens but to influence the world stage.
We are in the middle of a world-wide propaganda war. This war is an all-out political war against women and girls, and is being waged on behalf of men who believe they too are women. Liberals, conservatives and the left have fallen for this propaganda, which has a simple rhetorical message of ‘trans women are women’ yet ironically has made the reality of biological sex unutterable."
