That Action Aid email - from a charity that supports women and girls overseas in sometimes terrible circumstances, where their biological sex 💯 affects how they are treated - is pretty devastating. How can people write that sort of thing with a clear conscience?
Because it doesn't affect them, and they know better as they are from a different 'better and civilized' world so they really don't care beyond what other people see/think from their same or similar different 'better and civilized' world.
None of these people have experienced/experience the following as a norm in their daily existence: carry water for their family through dangerous terrain with the ever present threat of rape and/or abduction and/or being murdered; sent to menstrual huts for the shame of biological reality they cannot escape/control; spend their lives in a place where girls/women are treated like breeding stock only to be traded when their usefulness has run out for their families or when their families decide they need to sell a daughter for whatever dowry they can get and those sold have no escape; facing an entitled man/men throwing acid on them for acting in a way that said entitled man/men determines unchaste and/or deserving of punishment. And the list runs on in perpetuity for human females...
It is all about who 'looks best' not whether or not they are actually considering and making strides in regards to helping those they purport to support/empower.
IMO charities that spit in the face of their asserted mission by blurring the lines of the group of people they represent should be shut down and/or lose funding and should have to pay back all donations/funding that did not serve the stated mission based on dictionary definitions of words in the language in which they are written/carried out.
