Interesting that he is very carefully avoiding commenting on the issue of women’s rights in itself. He indicates that he believes sex and gender are separate and does so in such a way as to suggest he believes gender (identity?) exists. It might be, of course, that he doesn’t really believe that, but is signposting his adherence to “youth should be allowed to drive change”.
I still find it very depressing that such a firm belief in “gender” has been instilled. I want to like what he says about the young getting to choose the future as they are going to have to live with it, but I think that ignores the fact that sometimes lack of experience and perspective means that some very irrational and harmful decisions can be taken if the young are given too much power, too early. In addition, I think there is a silent majority of young people who do not believe in gender ideology, but are not interested in entering the political sphere, unlike those who’ve entered the “gender identity community” who seem to be very driven towards political campaigning on various levels.
That said, hopefully he’s thought it through and will avoid the Stephen King approach.
