3/5/2021 How do they expect people to believe their physical, ecological, and economic arguments if their view of sex/gender is not based on evidence?Read Now I'm in my early twenties and feel I have nowhere to go with politics. I want to be involved in politics and I have tried with some groups. I find it distressing that they claim to be helping the most vulnerable, and then advise volunteers to support policies that are actively damaging towards abused women.
I desperately want to be involved in environmental groups on the left to deal with the capitalism crisis and the climate crisis but most of what is around locally is actively anti women, and I do not want to have to pretend that men are women. How do they expect people to believe their physical, ecological, and economic arguments if their view of sex/gender is not based on evidence? As a sexual assault survivor and a young woman on the left I feel so isolated. It feels like most friends who are at all political have swallowed gender ideology up - I want to keep those friends I have, they supported me through that assault. I can't organise with other young women on the basis of sex without being harassed and threatened or the fear of it. When talking about sexism in any way I feel pressured to include transwomen. I try to keep volunteering with things that are not explicitly political or somewhat Momentum-esque but it's really exhausting - I want to improve the lot of women in the UK and everywhere else but the left are often denying that women exist as a sex class. They are happy to talk about women in poor countries as female but in rich countries I am supposed ignore that having XX chromosomes leads XY to treat us badly. Comments are closed.
