it safer for women to say 'no'
______________________Gender Critical Coming Out Day 2021 December 19th 2021 will be the second anniversary of JK Rowling’s tweet in support of Maya Forstater. The fall-out from her tweet made Rowling the target of vicious, sustained abuse, and it showed the world what happens even to the most powerful women when they dare say no to men. We want to mark the date by encouraging as many people as possible to “come out” and declare their support for the reality of biological sex, and stand against a dangerous, incoherent, homophobic ideology that says gender identity is more important than sex. And that’s as complex as a ‘gender critical’ position is, at its core. The many different groups lining up on this side of the debate will have different and expanding areas of focus, but the aspect common to us all is the fact sex is real, immutable, and mustn’t be conflated with, or replaced by, gender identity. Gender Critical feminists have been proved right on several key matters.
As the reaction to JK Rowling’s tweet has shown, we’re in a war for the acceptance of reality and basic truths. Far from being isolated to a corner of the Internet—like Qanon and Holocaust denial—gender ideology has captured organisations all over the Western world. Stephen Nolan and David Thompson have revealed that after their podcast series on Stonewall, they were contacted by “dozens of people from within the BBC, almost all women, who contacted us to say, thank you for doing the podcast, I felt that I couldn't read some of these issues. I couldn't report on some of these issues”. Many of those who wrote to him were from within the LGBT community. So women and lesbians within the most powerful media company in the UK are frightened to say what they really think. Even someone as powerful and respected as Terry Gilliam had a production cancelled because of authoritarian bullies on staff at the Old Vic. While the situation is better than it was even two years ago, many people still hold gender-critical views only in secret; reluctant to say openly what they really think, or to challenge the ideology of gender identity for fear of the implications for their livelihoods and professional lives. We want to make it
safer for people to speak up. At the moment, there
is a false consensus that has been achieved through
a combination of bullying and misinformation. There
are many, many more of us who believe in biological
reality than those who believe in gender identity
ideology. As the series of recent conferences and
events by different GC groups have shown, we’re not
alone and we need to let others know we’re here. [...] The Gender Critical Coming Out Day website has a list of suggestions of what you can do on the day, with links to information about your legal position at work, links to other sites with GC merchandise, and to other sites/groups with information that can inform conversations you might have with friends and family. Gender Critical Coming Out Day is simple, but it’s
just the beginning. There will be a series of
activities coming up as we head into 2022, but the
first step is letting everyone else know what we
think and where we stand. (read
