Woman,not the fashionable kind, non believer in gender. Capable of agreeing with you on one issue & disagreeing on others. Animal rights, pacifist, radical feminist. I believe in grass roots activism & decision making, skeptical of representative democracy

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa
Jane Clare Jones's fantastic thread on Twitter x.com/janeclarejon... 1. It's false to claim that mat/rad feminist critiques of trans ideology are 'the same view' as is held by Elon Musk, Donald Trump, or the far right. The feminist critique & the gender conservative critque are *not the same view.*

The attempt to redefine women as a loose collection of superficial stereotypes, often drawn directly from pornography and regressive ideas of female passivity and submissiveness, benefits only the sex who imposed those stereotypes on women in the first place.
We are seeing Europe burn, we have wildfires in Scotland & Wales, we have a heatwave & no rain, causing many older people to have strikes and heart attacks, yet our new PM wants to start drilling for oil and gas & everywhere AI is being pushed eating up power soaking up water. We need a reset.
Europe is burning, our new prime minister wants to drill for oil and gas, Reform, Farrage, Trump and mates deny that climate change is real or man made. Time to reread this

"To argue that sex is not real & that gender is innate or chosen, instead of socially imposed, demonstrates both ignorance to the world around you as well as a position of privilege." www.feministcurrent.com/2017/07/26/w...
If ‘white feminism’ is a thing, gender identity ideology epitomizes it
Opting in and out of sex-based oppression is something only the most privileged believe they can do.

Remarkably, none of this is factually correct. The shift to a trans focus was initiated by Stonewall, after it achieved its lifetime campaigning goal in 2013 with the legalisation of same sex marriage. CEO Ruth Hunt, appointed in 2014, formally announced the new strategy in 2015.
elia ayoub@ayoub.bsky.social · 2w agoWorth adding some numbers to this. The British press decided to make trans rights into an issue. It just wasn’t an issue before. This was a top-down decision. shado-mag.com/articles/opi...
Authentic feminism is sharp in tooth and claw. I learned that lesson long ago. I am always baffled by people who seem to think it should be kind, gentle, self sacrificing and accommodating. Presumably because they think that all women should be those things.
