[quote Manderleyagain]They can't point to any of her own words to back up the campaign against her, so the current tack is to say she signed the declaration by whrc and is a trustee of lgba.
The bit of the declaration amelia most objects to must be this
the elimination of that act and practice of discrimination against women which comprises the inclusion of men who claim to have a female ‘gender identity’ in the category of women. Such inclusion erodes women’s rights to safety, dignity and equality.^
She termed this as eliminating trans people in law. If our government followed this then I guess it would mean repealing the gra (which i dont support as it happens) but it would not mean repealing the protection for ppl with the pc if gender reassignment, or the elimination of trans people as a category in law. It would stop trans women being subsumed into the category of woman in law.
This is the basic problem though. It seems plain and obvious to me that if you change the concept of woman to mean 'feminine identified person', 'person who adopts the social role of woman' or 'person who feels like a woman' then you further entrench the type of sexist assumptions about what the sexes do, think, feel, what role they can occupy in life & how they shld behave. But to ppl with this belief system that is transphobic and threatens how they see themselves. So then is becomes impossible to work out together how to provide what trans ppl and women (and everyone) need without doing that, because there's no shared language or shared starting point.
This is by a tra and explains what they find so wrong about the declaration for anyone interested.
