      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!

          Mix this with the pressure for organisations women’s groups to be inclusive & those groups are effectively made voiceless & unable to discuss women’s issue & are policed by the TWAW allies who turn up

          How did we get here? I'm just glad that more people are waking up to what has happened.

          So trans women are women, and we are no longer women, we need a different label, all language in laws will have to change to reflect our new label. Costly. Yet the men who make up a large # of lawmakers R all in. 😑

          Who is pushing this twisted agenda. Women are women men are men we all have our rights trans are trans and have equal rights but let’s not destroy other people’s rights that is so wrong . A simple test is to apply your method to your own group and see if you like it 🤦🏽‍♂️

          How quickly our identity is denied us, our rights denied us & all this is supposed to be progressive?🤦🏻‍♀️ Only in the world of MRAs could this be viewed as inclusive.
