Fuck Oxfam

[DismantledKing]

Anyone seen the tweet by Maya tonight about this little animation by Oxfam? Here’s the link:

as I said, fuck Oxfam.

Please let them know exactly why.

I see your point but even so it is not on. Letting them get away with it to peak a few more is the wrong way to go about it I think. They will just repeat the women hating beahviour because they ahve got away with it.

So merely stating that you believe in biological fact and that you cannot change your sex is hate. Facts are not hate. The pulling the wool over people's eyes and telling them that thinks that cannot be changed (science) can be is delusional. Where is the hate to LGB people in that. Are you unaware how hateful some trans people are to LGB which means that increasingly LGB individuals are distancing themselves from TQ?+ABCDEFGH?

It worries me that they are too entitled to care.

People somewhere signed this off, thinking not was great. Who are they?

This is so often the question - how mnay people think that soemehing is ok. Or how many are too cowardly to say anything. I get the cowardliness but it is a shame.

The main point with Oxfam though is they have such form that I think this was not overlooked. They just really, really mean it.

Why this sudden departure into human rights? Oxfam are supposed to feed the needy and support communities.

A lot of big charities now prefer bossing people about to the hassle of fulfilling their charitable aims. See also Amnesty.

Oxfam's misogyny has been around for years. I'd missed the example in this tweet in Maya's thread though: https://archive.ph/8tr75

FFS.

But, yes, we're all paranoid T**Fs, when we say women are being erased.

Yes, count me in too!

@MissLucyEyelesbarrow

Yes I agree. At least Amnesty was partly about human rights and protecting people from political violence.

Oxfam are supposed to feed needy kids not tell me off for being gender critical!

Utter wankers.

I bet the people at the top of these orgs have inadvertently hired a lot of egotistical and idealistic grads who have taken them on entirely the wrong journey... writing 'right on' policies and dabbling in tangental issues that suit their own opinions.

Don’t think Mishy knows what Oxfam even is - ethics over profits, shop there more - they think it’s Target……

Ha!

I've e-mailed my complaint. I volunteered in a relatively senior position for Oxfam at festivals for many years and was planning to do so in a few years when my daughter was older and could accompany me. No more.

Good for you @Bornin1989

😂

Yeah. There's so much stupid.

I think that's letting senior management off too lightly. They knew exactly what they were doing, IMO. It was a conscious pivot, in order to benefit from the gravy train for 'progressive' causes - NGOs, UN, Gates Foundation, Soros etc (NB I do not believe conspiracy theories about Soros - that is all anti-semitic rubbish - I just think his foundation - like many - promotes gender ideology at the expense of women).

No doubt, Oxfam told itself it was for the greater good: women were acceptable collateral damage, in order to secure more funding, which would ultimately benefit everyone. But you cannot embrace misogynistic values without becoming misogynistic.

If you think that Oxfam has shown 'ethics' here, I think that says all that anyone needs to know about you.

And if you think that supporting this ad is going to benefit LGBT people, then you probably should stop trying to speak for them. Because I expect that you are speaking for a small minority who also could not recognise ethics, even if those ethics came delivered in 10 ft high words that were unmissable.

I thought the image was meant to be JKR too, and that all the images were stereotypical and racist.

I'm one of the people that has boycotted Oxfam since the Haiti revelations. As I bore on about often, I find that organisations which are very voluble about transphobia are often guilty of not protecting other protected characteristics at all.

Oh.... and even Oxfam acknowledged that the concerns were valid. They have taken it down.

Blimey mishy, you really do keep taking every opportunity to shame women who disagree with you don't you?

May I suggest the Women's Resource Centre?

They recently put out a statement explaining their belief in single sex services and work and have seen income drop.

Twitter really makes you feel like the adult sometimes. Agreed OP, fuck Oxfam

Bumping this.

Also about to set up direct debits for this and LGB Alliance.
