"The key thing to understand about trans rights activism is that, unlike gay rights activism, it is not just a movement seeking to ensure that trans people are not discriminated against. The idea of ‘gender identity’ disappears biology and all the experiences that those with female biology have of being reared in a caste system based on sex." –Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts "Women do not decide at some point in adulthood that they would like other people to understand them to be women, because being a woman is not an ‘identity.’ Women’s experience does not resemble that of men who adopt the ‘gender identity’ of being female or being women in any respect. We resist the redefinition of both "women" and "feminism" to make them serve men. Women are oppressed to exploit their biological sex characteristics, and women have a right to a movement that is about their own liberation from that oppression.
We oppose the 'cotton ceiling' and the pressure on lesbians to have sex with men. We condemn the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, the cancelling of feminists and critics, the denial of biological reality and of sex-based oppression. We do not believe that men can become women by 'feeling' like women or 'identifying' as women. We stand up for the rights of women to control our own bodies as individuals and to control women-only spaces as a class. Be careful!įeminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy.
