A thread:
Can I say I don't feel inclined to celebrate just yet? That I feel strangely deflated and would rather hold fire and take a let's wait and see approach? Of course I'm delighted that women only spaces will continue to be protected in law...

(and that this will form part of centralised policy) but honestly, I mostly just feel tired and gutted that the Tory Party are the only ones prepared to acknowledge that female people exist as a distinct category of disadvantaged human and are entitled to their own spaces and
resources. The tory party are not a feminist organisation and they don't care about women's oppression. But it's still good news, I know.
What I do want to say is that the women who have organised, written articles, put themselves in the firing line, endured rape and death
What I do want to say is that the women who have organised, written articles, put themselves in the firing line, endured rape and death
threats, risked their jobs and reputations, their friendships and social networks, to fight for women's sex based rights... I admire you all so, so much. You have been brave as fuck. Takes nothing to stand up and shout when everyone you care about is behind you telling you how
wonderful you are. Takes a huge amount to stand up and shout when people are turning their backs.
But it is the left we have to persuade. It is the 'progressives' who seem to have forgotten that sex is an axis of oppression. The fight goes on.
End.
