BIG CHANGES COMING: FiLiA is rebranding to be more gender-inclusive. Check out our new mission statement here bit.ly/offspring-sprog, and follow this thread for a quick explanation 🧵👇 
Last month, we were profoundly impacted by the very accurate quote from RGB shared by @ACLU and @TheLancet's new edition denouncing the neglect of bodies with vaginas.
We understand now that, as Butler puts it, 'we need to rethink the category of'... what was it again? Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud? If we're not allowed to say it, it's certainly not that important.
All of this means that to keep being a part of the conversation when people no longer want to talk about women, sex, or reality, we too need to change.
So we've checked our thinking. We listened. And we are trying to do better. We'll be rethinking all of our panels to reflect this change in direction, and
FiLiA — which means offspring with vagina — will also be going through a rebranding and will now be called simply Offspring. If trademark allows.
Update: We have been alerted by our lawyers that "Offspring" is already taken and will now be called SPROG. Thank you.
WE ARE OBVIOUSLY JOKING. Are you tired of this? Because we are. Join us at the FiLiA Conference 2021 | Portsmouth, 16 - 17 October.
