      You'd think a basic minimum of feminism is women able to meet to discuss shared issues & how society treats males & females. But no, there is no word for female people; ie formerly known as women. A subgroup (those that haven't declared themselves men or NB) are deemed "cis"

      What if the "cis" women in a feminist group want to sometimes meet without males? No that is not allowed You are never allowed to use the resources of the feminist group to create space for the female people.pic.twitter.com/eQ79MQf3qA

      You can have a meeting focused on the "cis women", but only for the purpose of discussing their priviledge over feminine identifying males. The males decide whether the females are allowed to do this "self work" alone or only under observationpic.twitter.com/pp6PRzovS2

          Sounds crazy? This is happening in every university Femsoc, every online feminist group, Girl Guides, womens charities, programmes for women in STEM etc... This language is promoted in schools, media, UN, human & womens rights orgs, funders and NGOs. (HT @STILLTish)pic.twitter.com/aHcq3OCwZc

          Organisations that "do feminism" and "do work for women and girls" are accepting and promoting the idea that it is phobic to have a word for women, or to allow women freedom of association!

          If we applied those dictator methods towards trans people how would that go down. It’s a disgrace, anyone can have an opinion anything is allowed to be discussed no one has the right to stop people talking without being bullied and labelled transphobic it’s an utter disgrace.

          I don't get this - if anyone is gender essentialist, it's... well, gender essentialists, or as I call them, gender-fascists. So how can they fight gender essentialism effectively when they seek to affirm instead of abolish it? Sick minds.

          Hang on! I thought "gender" is the way society perceives men and women. If gender is not based on society or on biology, what is it?

          Maybe we should let the men be feminists. We can rebrand ourselves as ??

          "As feminists, we are dedicated to fighting gender essentialism", said no feminist ever.
