Has this been posted already? It's from an email they sent. I saw it on Twitter so I'll be back with links.

So does this mean girls in China and India are safe then? Since they biologically don’t exist?
Of course they aren’t. They will still be murdered/abandoned/aborted for being a girl

Someone should let them know they can identify out of all of this. They'll be relieved to hear it, I'm sure, if not a little embarrassed that they didn't think of this sooner.

ActionAid should let girls everywhere know, actually. No more period huts, no more FGM, no more trafficking, no more forced marriage. Just say you're a boy/man and voila! Easy peasy.

Jesus FUCKING Christ.

“There is no such thing as a biological female/male.”

“No one is saying biology isn’t real!”

Has there ever been a clearer, real life example of double think / speak??

LonginesPrime · 15/07/2020 17:35

"as such, we've used the word gender not sex"

It sounds like they're saying the word 'sex' is meaningless as a descriptor. Confused

ComDummings · 15/07/2020 17:35

I wonder if they truly believe this or they’re just looking for attention.

2Rebecca · 15/07/2020 17:35

Disappointed as Action Aid was one of the first charities I regularly subscribed to. I have stopped paying money to any charity that wants to pretend that sex is unimportant nonsense we shouldn't trouble our pretty little heads with.

FWRLurker · 15/07/2020 17:35

It’s weird because they are almost there when they acknowledge “trans men and non-binary (females) experience gender (sex) discrimination”

So, why Is it exactly that trans Men, non-binary females, and women would all experience discrimination as a group, Action Aid? Could it be possibly because of aN immutable characteristic they all share?

littlbrowndog · 15/07/2020 17:48

Well here we go. No women anymore. Awesome.

Wondering what I can become now women have been cancelled ?

happydappy2 · 15/07/2020 17:48

Have emailed them as well-over 10 years I've had a monthly payment to them but I will not continue to do so if this is true.

Soubriquet · 15/07/2020 17:50

Can I stop being a woman then and no longer have periods?

Cos if I can do that awesome! I’ll just switch them back on when I want a baby.

I would love for this to happen without needed contraception

shadyzadie · 15/07/2020 17:50

Their 'help end period poverty' ads are all over my Facebook right now and make no mention of women and girls, only people.'

This.

It's so... stupid. If biological sex doesn't exist, what are gay and lesbian people? How can we reproduce, if we don't know it takes a man and a woman? The whole thing is ludicrous. Just self-evidently not true! It's beyond belief.

Every single human being alive in the world today exists because biological sex determines women do all the reproductive labour. This is why women and girls are oppressed. Gender is how women and girls are oppressed.

They don't genitally mutilate girls because they dislike their expressed gender identity. They do it because they want to control female sexuality, and therefore reproduction.

This is so very basic. And it's everything women have been saying is wrong. The erasure of sex as a cause of abuse, discrimination and harm to women. It's misogyny in purest form, in fact.

littlbrowndog · 15/07/2020 17:52

But who will have the babies if there are no biological women 😉

I guess Action Aid can just shut up shop now. All the above can now just claim male status and will be safe. Best thing about that is that it's totally free so why would anyone be donating to Action Aid with this miraculous solution?
DryHeave · 15/07/2020 17:55

No such thing as biological male/female? Fantastic news for victims of sex selective abortion, femicide & FGM!

littlbrowndog · 15/07/2020 17:57

Yep how can you protect women and girls if we don’t exist

What is there to protect ?

Actually is there any need for that charity. Why don’t they just cancel themselves.

No women no girls. No FGM. No forced marriages

Hope men know this now. All men across the world

There are no women and girls anymore

Listen up men. All the men.

Don’t think you can do anything to us thinking we are women and girls as we don’t exist.

Nopes

I don’t now what men will do when they are looking for a child bride 🤷‍♀️

Jesus wept, they've lost the plot.

A comment on Twitter

"no such thing as a biologically female body".

Daily it boggles my mind that we're the ones accused of erasing trans people, when we are literally told that female people don't exist.

So if biological men don't exist, they can't identify as anything, right? There is no such things as trans in that case.

Or reality, of course.

wellbehavedwomen · 15/07/2020 18:04

It really is the ultimate DARVO.

I've never seen a feminist say trans people don't exist. Yet we are constantly told that women don't. And that therefore nobody need concern themselves with the impact on women of allowing male people to enter any and all spaces, provision, and platforms for us, entirely at their own whim.

Absolute male supremacy with a pretty woke packaging. How can people who claim concern for women swallow this absolute horseshit? It's not even subtle.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 15/07/2020 18:13

I was going to comment on this but I am actually lost for words.
I've clearly been teaching wrong for years though, according to this.

Yet biological men are allowed to exist and no one questions that. Unbelievable.

Broomfondle · 15/07/2020 18:24

I'm really saddened. I have literally just got back from posting a donation to Actionaid to supply young women in refugee camps with menstrual products and was chuffed because the appeal I received asking me to specifically mentioned women and girls and the effects of their biology.
Its like the sand is shifting underneath us as we try and stay upright. In between me receiving the appeal and posting it back they've just denied women's reality.
I campaigned for Amnesty for years and their 'rapists gonna rape' shrug at concerns regarding the loss of female sex spaces still hurts.
This hurts too. I care about women and girls. They're the one's losing out from this shit. I hope I can find another way to help those girls in poor conditions bleeding from their vaginas.

SarahTancredi · 15/07/2020 18:28

As I seem to be saying on a thread or 10 daily these days becuase the utter stupidity seems to be increasing by the hour, how do they not when to stop? At what point did it become preferable to finally hit the wall as they back towards the corner, akd publically denounce the existence of biological sex than start trying to claw back even a shred of dignity buy setging a boundary or 2 that won't cost them thousands and women now cancel paying them for work they cant possibly do as they don't know who they are meant to be helping.

This never goes well

Datun · 15/07/2020 18:29

ActionAid should hang their heads in shame.

It's leading me to believe that some charities acting for women and girls across the globe, are doing it for all the wrong reasons.

Because if you're utterly determined not to define what it is you're campaigning for, what's the bloody point.
