So I’m officially disillusioned with my union @ucu. This kind of anti-intellectual bandwagon politicking is imho the death of any revolutionary socialist potential. telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/11/1… It’s not just UCU who are pioneering the Self-ID model, though for a so-called socialist union this is painfully delusional. Self-ID relies on the ahistorical individual disclosure of “the true self” as separate from the body, rendering class analysis a meaningless exercise.

"I don’t claim to speak for all of us, but perhaps I can share some of our stories." @charlie_sci the founder of @DetransAdNet on the detransitioned experience of women. #filia2019 "We recognise that we live in such a gendered world, that the little girl who hates dresses and pink and princesses is never going to feel like a little girl. Gender Dysphoria feels like an inner voice saying there’s something wrong with your body." @charlie_sci #filia2019
