To erase women and girls

UN report calls for ban on sex changes for children, declares transgenderism a threat to women
A United Nations draft report by the special rapporteur on violence against women affirmed what many critics have long warned: that there is a “concerted international push (to) erase” women and girls, and that gender dysphoria is “socially contagious.”
The report, titled “Sex-based violence against women and girls: new frontiers and emerging issues: Report of the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls,” was compiled by Reem Alsalem of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), and warns that transgender ideology has become a threat to women.
He quotes her:
Recently, there has been a concerted international push to delink the definition of men and women from their biological sex and erase the legal category of “women.” Such efforts have undermined the practical achievement of equality between men and women. Women are therefore being denied their rightful recognition as a distinct category in law and society. It is a form of “coercive inclusion” that relies on the expectation that women will be kind enough to sacrifice their own recognition and protection for the sake of others.
And “for the sake of others” here necessarily means “for the sake of males.”
Alsalem’s report reads like an outright rejection of the transgender agenda. She states that gender dysphoria is “socially contagious.” She praises the UK Supreme Court’s ruling that the legal definition of woman refers to biological sex,” stating that it “protects women and girls under a distinct category.” She even refers, at one point, to the “harmful consequences of social and medical transitioning of children” in a truly bombshell section that rejects the concept of “gender-affirming care” almost entirely.
None of this would have needed saying 20 years ago. What a lot of time and energy we’ve wasted in those 20 years.
How long before those in the captured part(s) of the UN call for Alsalem’s removal?
This is amazing! But yeah, as Not Bruce said.
I’m sure there’s already lobbying to that effect YnNB. I’ve certainly seen plenty of criticism of Alsalem online from everyone you’d expect. I think very large members of the (I shudder to use the phrase) non-trump elite in the US have so utterly made support for trans activism a credo that it doesn’t matter who or why anyone pushes back, they are instantly an enemy and deserve whatever is coming to them. Bizzare, because so many of those people are otherwise fundamentally good, thoughtful, and caring people.
I liked this part of the report:
Bolding mine.
It’s a violation of children’s human rights to perform these procedures on them.
