      Presumably CR & their partners understand women & girls to be female people ♀️. Not people who identify w or are defined by stereotypes of femininity 💃(because thats the basis of feminism). At the same time they want to support human rights of transgender people (which is good)

      But they don't seem to have thought this thru. & their new social media manager seems to have got the shorthand 'gender' (= women & girls) confused w gender meaning 'transgender' and has been busy tweeting about emojis & self ID (does CR have an organisational position?).pic.twitter.com/2st07yZ5oo

      This culminated with the launch of "Women Wednesdays" a series of blogs for gender justice November focused on "women who have created change and spearheaded movements for other women" in which they choose someone who is *not a woman* 😱pic.twitter.com/Q3qzInfjHC

      This got quite a lot of pushback from "vibrant, active feminist movements" like the women of @MumsnetTowers (who started making a list of inspirational women), and the marvellous campaigner & fundraiser on VAWG @JeanHatchet https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3424606-inspirational-women-list … (and many other tweets...)pic.twitter.com/krPVfdEYsM

      These are women who have mobilised & crowdfunded into campaigns like @Womans_Place_UK @fairplaywomen because they are concerned that women's voices are being excluded (sometimes violently) from engaging w the UK gov's policy conversation about sex self ID https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/oct/14/observer-letters-theresa-may-siren-words-fool-no-one …pic.twitter.com/ySvvF52H1V

      Thats broad! It seems to extend to Rachel Dolzeal and Anthony Lennon's right to define themselves as black, Stephonknee Wolscht to define as a 6 year old, and Emile Ratelband to identify as a 45 year old....🤔

      ..and it does not address the substance of the Q which was about @comicrelief 's judgment in passing over all female candidates in picking the first"*inspirational woman" to launch their series on *feminism and women's rights* (and whether they understand women as female people?)

      Maya Forstater Retweeted Rosa Freedman

      There is a serious, grown up conversation to be had about how to protect the human rights of gender non-conforming people, without reinforcing sex stereotypes or undermining women's rights and protections as a sex. Here are some women having it:https://twitter.com/GoonerProf/status/1063208778999443456 …

      vulnerability. What we need is clarity and legal certainty. The key thing to hold in mind is that the law protects certain characteristics based on definitions and clarity, and that any new definitions of groups cannot be used to undermine the existing protections of existing

      CR's social media people have branded women having this conversation as TERFs (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists). Its a slur associated w threats of violence (and its an identity with which they don't identify)https://terfisaslur.com/

      Rather than doubling down on alienating women by calling them names & dismissing dismissing their concerns @comicrelief cld use #genderjustice November to invite some of the women from grassroots feminist movements like @Womans_Place_UK @fairplaywomen in for a chatpic.twitter.com/351ZcJQ4zt

          I'm delighted to see @comicrelief is going to 'educate us on all things female'. What's the betting that'll be which men are best at 'doing female'?
