Fighting the New Misogyny: A Feminist Critique of Gender Identity
Over the last several years, transgender activism has made sweeping gains. From local school boards to the Democratic Party to legislatures around the world, proponents of this ideology have succeeded in positioning "gender identity" as the social justice issue of our day.
But are the claims made by these activists actually true, or even coherent? What does it mean to say that people can be "born in the wrong body"? Does the concept of “gender identity” break down stereotypes about the nature of men and women, or does it reinforce them? And what about the rights of women and girls?
Women's Liberation Front is proud to organize an event that tackles these issues head on.
On February 1, 2020, Meghan Murphy, Saba Malik, and Kara Dansky gave a critical analysis of gender identity and made powerful arguments for sex-based women's rights. The event took place at the beautiful Seattle Central Library in downtown Seattle, Washington, despite protesters inside and outside the building.
Writer Meghan Murphy spoke on the philosophical and political problems in the claims made by proponents of gender identity. Feminist and environmentalist Saba Malik addressed the way gender identity advocates compare transphobia with racism and why this is both inaccurate and offensive. Saba also read a speech by indigenous feminist Cherry Smiley who could not be there in person. Lawyer Kara Dansky explained the significance of female erasure in the law and how feminists are fighting back. An engaging Q and A session moderated by writer and activist Lierre Keith followed.
