Can MNHQ set up a new discussion category called Feminism: sex & gender discussion (inclusive, non-GC)

MN, will you please create a talk group/category of Feminism: sex & gender discussion (inclusive, non-GC)?

MN appears to currently have only 2 feminism categories:
Feminism: chat
Feminism: sex & gender discussions

But the Feminism: sex & gender category on MN is predominantly GC, with its emphasis on trans exclusion ideology. Feminists who do not subscribe to those beliefs are often unwelcome and treated with derision and hostility in discussions. Certainly not always as some GC posters do enjoy open, intellectual discussions but often enough that engagement can be toxic & intimidating all around.

It is almost impossible for non-GC feminists to find inclusive/non-GC feminist discussions, and we have to wade through unpleasant (for us) GC threads while attempting to do so.

GC feminism dominates on UK parenting sites in particular. However, inclusive/non-GC feminism is extremely popular around the world (especially in places like the US, NZ, and AU) and in the UK among younger feminists and those who do not see trans rights as a threat to women & girls’ safety. Many UK feminists are non-GC but may feel silenced on MN.

The addition of another category will help open up and improve MN discussions while reducing the toxicity and hostility that many feminists on both sides experience in discussions.

So I propose the following feminism discussion categories:
Feminism: chat (general)
Feminism: sex & gender discussions (GC)
Feminism: sex & gender discussion (inclusive, non-GC)

Look, men aren’t women. Anybody who thinks otherwise is a dick.

WTF? Confused

The whole point of having 2 separate categories for feminism on MN (Chat and Sex & Gender) was so that liberal feminists could keep using Feminism Chat whilst the GC folk moved their discussions of the intersection of trans rights and women's rights to a dedicated section. Now you're saying you want yet another area for lib fems?

You can ask for different sections for different topics, but you can't reasonably ask that only people who agree with you post on particular topics, that's bonkers!

Why on earth do you think the only two possible categories people could fall into are "lib fems" and "GC"?

A lot of black rights activism is quite critical of racism. Most disabled rights activists seem to be against disability discrimination.

I don't really see how you can be a feminist and not criticise gender @PlanetLuna? What exactly does pro-sexism Feminism look like?

Well, okay, but I did quite enjoy being called a Frothing Hyena. It made a change from Pearl Clutching Viper.

ArabellaScott · 16/01/2024 14:48

Sorry, Pots. 😂

Feckedupbundle · 16/01/2024 15:16

It's never enough,is it?
One of the very few places on the internet,where one can state that sex is binary,and men can never become women,but can't have that it's not 'inclusive'.

BlessedKali · 16/01/2024 15:22

But the Meninists just want somewhere where they can spout shite and not be disagreed with. All 3 of them.

Wherever they go we will follow and continue to ask questions (which they can never answer). They are always welcome to come onto Sex and Gender Discussions), it is for everyone after all but funnily enough, when they do, they can never answer any questions. So do they want a discussion board where you can't have a discussion?

@ArabellaScott female hyenas have a pseudo penis so the TRAs would call them trans.

I think this thread proves what almost all of us already knew.
