“How to spot terf ideology” - Cambridge uni

[Dancingbea]

I thought this was a parody but apparently not
www.cambridgesu.co.uk/resources/guides/spottingterfideology/

This is a rehash of an old leaflet they produced a few years back. A complaint letter was organised by Cambridge alumnae, sent to the then women’s officer at CUSU plus a number of academic staff holding senior positions in equality & diversity roles. No reply.

Luxury beliefs for over privileged wankers...

Milo got the post because there were no other candidates.

"As SU Women’s Officer I represent students of marginalized genders, and lead the SU Women’s Campaign".
The Women's Officer gives women second billing.

"Keep the Women’s Campaign accessible, anti-racist, and trans and sex worker inclusive".
Not even fourth billing this time.

Milo and their manifesto

Milo seems to be very much more focused on trans rights than women's rights.

It then makes a mockery of having a separate women's officer.

Indeed. At least Milo tells us that, as women's officer, Milo isn't representing women.

Jesus wept, however did it get to this?

For those on twitter.

Here is the cure for accidental feminist contact.

• marginalized genders
• anti-racist
• trans and sex worker inclusive.
• student carers a priority

So... anyine and everyone, but not the people for whom thepost was invented?

I don't understand why a person of he/they pronouns with these kinds of views wants to be Women's Officer. I also don't understand why a trans man would choose to attend a women's college. Baffled

Nothing to do with women, then.....

"Why did you run for this role

Most of all I want to make this University a better place for the marginalized students who study here. A lot of policy is made with no consideration towards how it will impact students differently on the basis of gender. This role is a natural continuation of the work I did with the SU LGBT+ Campaign and on my college’s JCR during my time as a student."

I wondered how long it would be before they called GC views ideology, we already have GC cult.

I’m confused
If TW are women and TM are men then how can a TM be Women’s officer?

And how can a TM attend a women’s only college?

Because 'TRANS'. Most oppressed can make the rules. Keep up.

Because being a women’s officer and being at a woman’s college demonstrate male entitlement/living as a man?

What a load of crap that link was!

I'm appalled at the sheer lies and lack of awareness.

Oh goodness, he/she/they looks and writes exactly like any other slightly naive young woman.

He/she/they used to be on the university women's netball team. How very self-misgendering of him/her/them.

Why on earth does he/she/they need to identify as a man in order to live a happy life?

"As SU Women’s Officer I represent students of marginalized genders, and lead the SU Women’s Campaign".

It's not the "'marginalised genders" campaign. There is already an LGBTQ officer presumably. Why is this person a woman's officer if they don't believe they are a woman? Have cake, eat it and I'll have yours too.

It's all just a power trip, basically.

This was a recent Camfess. There are obviously some very confused young people at Cambridge, and that guide won't help.

Can't get the screenshots to attach.

Yup.

They forgot to mention the tails and horns.

Trying again.

It's been an ongoing thing for some years for women's officer posts to be targeted and taken specifically in order to turn the post into a TQ+ post that actively removes representation for women, and replaces addressing their issues with TQ+ ones.

Madigan as I remember would not represent or even engage with anyone about female specific women's issues as they were 'exclusionary'.
