EU Parliament 🇪🇺 votes to accept a report, that calls for "the full recognition of trans women as women" as part of the EU priorities for the UN CSW (Commission on the Status of Women) on "women’s rights and gender equality."

@AngelicAura @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt I've heard this as a review for another year, but it also matches what I expect from that
a year of symbolic victories and concrete losses
@gwenthefops @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt I feel like that just describes the world at least the past few years if not more

It's easy these days to forget that there are places and organisations outside the UK and US that don’t despise and want to destroy our lives

️⚧️@Natasha_Jay Is this just about women or does it also recognize trans men and non-binary people? Why would women be separated out like this?

It's not a secret that the far-right really wanted Brexit to happen. And I do count a big chunk of Tories as part of the far right (the rest of them and much of Labour being the regular kind of right wing).
A big chunk of the reason was human rights.
EU is awful in its own ways, but it's relatively less awful than much of the Western world.
@oddtail
Very much this

@Natasha_Jay we need to hold on tight to these bits of good news.
@kimlockhartga @Natasha_Jay Now, I just need to get y’all and my daughter to the EU.

I fully support equal rights. I do not support the fallacy that males are females and females are males. Your arguments have no more weight than the pastors who want to tell me which god to believe in. The truth of watching a male beat up a female is self-evident. I'm sorry you think you were born in the wrong body but forcing your fallacy on me by law is no less authoritarian than the idea of the christian nation. -

@oddtail "relatively less awful", well said. Thank you.

@PedestrianError @Natasha_Jay Honestly if I had to wager why the focus is on trans women it may come down to trans women's participation in society itself is often what people are trying to fight against so letting people reject their identities is more visibly genocidal.
I say visibly because trans men (on average) deal with more medical discrimination which is obviously also extremely genocidal just in a more eugenics leaning manner...

@PedestrianError @Natasha_Jay Also for non binary that's a whole extra discussion because it wouldn't surprise me if their lack of inclusion is intentional erasure. Cic people that are otherwise pretty progressive still often treat NB genders as more of an aesthetic than an actual identity that gets discriminated against both on a medical and a broader social level.

@siege @PedestrianError @Natasha_Jay indeed. But the very fact everyone feels the need to ask 'what is a woman?' and not 'what even is gender' more broadly, is indicative of the problem.
