Jenni Murray was dubbed a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist, four years ago. UK-based columnist says she will not be silenced, as she reveals disappointment in Stonewall.
Robert Buckland is preparing to withdraw the MoJ from Stonewall s diversity champions programme, which includes guidance on the use of pronouns and gender-neutral spaces.
Mum, mother, mummy. I am proud to call myself all these things. In common with countless women throughout the ages, being a mother is a fundamental, undeniable and indelible part of my identity as a woman.
But the powerful and hugely influential gay rights organisation Stonewall thinks such a fundamental belief is wrong. Not only wrong, but also discriminatory and very possibly wicked.
It asserts I must not call myself mother, nor be called one. Instead, I must re-educate my brain to think of myself as a parent who has given birth . Not to do so is an affront to trans people, an attack on their right to gender self-identification.
