I signed it a while ago but I have shared it around again. I really hope someone starts up another similar one. More and more people in my everyday life are peaking as they find gender identity ideology is impacting them negatively in work, school, hobbies, interactions with public services and businesses etc
If the proposed clarification of the EA 2010 goes through (sex = biological sex) that will be one major step. But the real problem is that it does not make single-sex public spaces the default, which they had been since forever with no problems (even the Roman public baths had different days for men and women—and for slaves!). Likewise with carers, therapists, etc.—the default should be the same biological sex as the person cared for, because their needs ought automatically to come first. The exceptions should be for persons who have a GRC, which must require surgery for males. I don't think GRCs can be got rid of now, but they can be made harder to get.
If Scotland manages to get another independence referendum, I wonder how much support the SNP would lose because of pandering to the TRAs.
URGENT. This closes to tomorrow. Open to British citizens and lawful residents. The Government has said it does not want to change it, but the more people who sign the better.
o/Activism is a circle for sharing various calls to action for feminist causes, including petitions, fundraisers, letter-writing or call-in campaigns, etc.
The call to action should be clear from the post itself. Do not post links to news/articles and then write about what to do about them in the comments. Instead, make a text post with the action to take described in the post, and then include any links to news/articles in the text post. Posts that are links should only be links to pages that include calls to action in them, or are relevant, current activism resources. No one should be left wondering "but what am I to do about it?" after reading a post.
Image posts are only enabled for event fliers and advertisements of feminist groups. No other images are allowed.
Personal or action-inspiring activism reports may be appropriate here, subject to mod discretion. This is not a discussion circle but a call to action circle, so the activism report needs to contribute to calling others to action. In general, it's a better idea to use the feminist discussion circles listed below.
Activism groups that are friendly to gender critical feminists can also be advertised here. However, advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups must be pre-approved by /o/Activism moderators before you post. Please report any ads for private groups that do not have a comment from a mod confirming that it is approved. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!
This circle is about accomplishing specific feminist goals. If you want to discuss ideologies, current events, debates, articles, or news, use other circles such as /o/WomensLiberation or /o/GenderCritical. If you are posting a specific event, you probably want to post to /o/FeministEvents as well.
