Description
Over the last several years, transgender activism has made sweeping gains. 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? 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? On February 1, 2020, the US-based organization Women's Liberation Front hosted a panel event called “The New Misogyny.” Three women’s rights campaigners, Meghan Murphy, Saba Malik, and Kara Dansky, presented a critical analysis of gender identity and made arguments for sex-based women's rights. The event took place at the Seattle Public Library in downtown Seattle, Washington, despite protesters inside and outside the building. This is the talk given by Kara Danksy, who serves on the Board of Directors for the Women’s Liberation Front, where she acts as an attorney and media coordinator. https://soundcloud.com/womenreadwomen/the-new-misogyny-kara-dansky
