Regardless of

Man resigns from his “role” as endometriosis advisor.

Yeah bro it was always in the best interests of the charity not to hire a man for that job. You should have turned it down.

But sadly he’s not actually gone, he’s just moved sideways.

STATEMENT 2:

Further to my recent resignation as CEO of TransLucent and changes in my life generally, an opportunity recently arose to work more closely with Women’s Action Network Portsmouth (WANP) – an intersectional and inclusive feminist organisation championing a broad range of causes.

We actively champion meaningful inclusion for every woman, regardless of age, class, disability, neurodiversity, race, religion, sexuality, or gender identity.

Notice anything missing? Sex. He omitted sex. He replaced sex with genner idenniny.

Our solidarity is grounded in shared struggles and a collective commitment to dismantling patriarchy. We stand firmly against divisive culture wars and attacks on minorities, rejecting polarisation, hate, and exclusion in favour of unity, inclusion, justice, equity, and compassion for all members of our diverse communities.

What shared struggles? Women don’t share struggles with you. You’re not sharing struggles with women, you’re talking over women. You’re intruding. You’re grabbing the spotlight for yourself. You’re interrupting. You’re doing what men like you do.

    “ We actively champion meaningful inclusion for every woman, regardless of … gender identity.”

    …wut? Did he just admit that “woman” is NOT a gender identity?

    (…yeah it’s more likely to just be piss-poor writing, but one can hope.)

    If he was trying to reference the 2010 Equality Act, but deliberately omitting sex, he also missed out other things important to women:

    marriage/civil partnerships.

    And the one thing he cannot have or do:

    pregnancy and maternity.

    Hmmm, wonder why?

    Also, despite it being oft-quoted, class is not a protected characteristic, nor is neurodiversity, unless someone is disabled.

    Now you mention it, what even is a protected characteristic? I need to learn more.

    Dang. I’m glad I’m not a lawyer.
