This despite my having used multiple instances & software variants over that time [so it seems implausible that by misfortune i've accidentally picked instances each time that have all been fediblocked by other transwomen]. Ergo it seems that the cause might be that for reasons i don't understand lots of other transwomen decided a couple of years ago that i totes suck & so they all individually blocked me... or that my trans toots are so utterly banal & boring as to be unworthy of interest or discussion. </p><p>Even vanilla peeps don't engage, on this topic. Obvs they do not have their own personal lived experience to share & compare, but statistically many of them will have a family member, or friend, or work/social colleague, who is trans... or at the very least will have formed some slight opinions even just from the fact that trans has sadly become so toxically politicised in the past decade. But nope, it's always just 🦗🦗🦗</p><p>I'm struck by a certain irony here, given that afaik the early origins of the fediverse creation & development was by & for queer peeps to have a safe & pleasant place to be themselves, away from cesspit media. </p><p>Clearly there's simply no point me bothering with further toots on any trans matters.

In Ep 4 of that series, <a href="https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=WoRlN1hQZP0&feature=shared" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=WoRlN1h</span><span class="invisible">QZP0&feature=shared</span></a> <em>"But What If the People Are Stupid?"</em>, i was taken by surprise by what at first i mistook as yet another abrupt visual <em>non sequitur</em>, being various scenes featuring Julia Grant [<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Grant_(transgender_activist)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_</span><span class="invisible">Grant_(transgender_activist)</span></a>]. </p><p>It was impossible for me to watch those painful scenes without simultaneously thinking of two other things; my own transition, & the recent / current UK legal imbroglio about transwomen. </p><p>Each & every time i learn of horrible political &/or physical attacks on trans peeps generally but transwomen specifically, thru my upset i ask one repeating question; why are we so hated & despised for firstly having been born with the curse of gender dysphoria, then secondly for trying to find ourselves & ameliorate the pain? </p><p>Though i regard my hitherto GD as an unambiguous curse, i was comparatively fortunate to be able to eventually fully transition, albeit sadly several decades too late [with all the adverse implications]. To do so i had to navigate medical gatekeeping, as was <em>de rigueur</em> under the <em>Harry Benjamin Standards of Care (HBSOC)</em> that "ruled the roost" back in my day 20 years ago in Australia, Thailand, USA & [i assume] UK. Anyway, the shock of seeing the unexpected scenes mentioned above made me think of the present UK mess, & the extent to which historically many poor desperate transwomen were blocked from being able to properly transition [to whatever extent they desired] by overbearing medical gatekeeping... especially when applied so despicably per the following. Then, roll forward to now, they find themselves thrice assaulted... once at birth, twice at thwarted transition, thrice by legal exclusion. It's just such agony.</p><p>So, in Ep 4, two scenes illustrating awful bigoted, sexist, if not maybe also misogynistic & even outright transmisic, gatekeeping by a NHS psychiatrist. He is arrogant, scornful, argumentative, & utterly dismissive of her faltering attempts to explain her inner world to him. </p><ul><li> 7:17 - 9:17</li><li> 23:43 - 25:17</li></ul><p>I'm not a Pom & have never been to Pommyland, so had never experienced that painful mistreatment there. Also, this is several decades old, so i don't know if the contemporary scenario is better or even worse. </p><p>However i did personally experience a milder version of it myself, right near the end of my pre-transition "exploring" phase in 2003, when i had decided that i'd finally come to understand myself after all the confused distressing decades, & was required to consult a psych to proceed. The first one suggested to me was preposterously unsuitable. He did not take me seriously, seemed more inclined to tell me about his d0g than actually consult me, but then at the end of that one & only session declared his belief that i was <em>"prolly just a gay guy"</em>. Ugh; idiot. Had i no other psych options than him, i'd never have been able to proceed with the surgical parts of my transition, as the Strayan, Merkan & Thai surgeons all required patients present a psych commendation [per HBSOC]. </p><p>Ergo, i really felt deeply for the sadly departed Julia's dilemma, & feel deeply for what my UK sisters are now being forced to endure. But yeah, RWNJs, fine, go ahead & attack <em>us</em>, coz clearly it's <em>us</em> that's the problem... 🙄🤦♀️</p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a>+ <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GenderDysphoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderDysphoria</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transmisia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmisia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckThePatriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckThePatriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/fsckALLreligion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fsckALLreligion</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckRWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckRWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckChristoFacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckChristoFacists</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ChangeTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChangeTheSystem</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckAroundAndFindOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckAroundAndFindOut</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misanthropy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TransRepresentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRepresentation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transwoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transwoman</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transwomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transwomen</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transkids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transkids</span></a></p>

As a post-op transwoman i suppose i'd be in the targeted group now, were i in Pommieland not Straya. Thing is though, whilst [yet] this latest legal imbroglio does not officially pertain here, my belief is that in no time flat it will have been picked up & actively weaponised here by all the hateful transphobes & transmisics, just as the last several years of Merkan anti-trans toxicity has already been imported here. The general tone of decency & empathy in this thread is encouraging, & i'm grateful for it. However, given i chose to give up in & since 2010 on being physically in the world, due to my depression & social phobia at what i perceive as my failed 2004-2006 transition [not Passing] even when the political temperature here was comparatively lower, decisions like this UK one, & the ongoing horrors of Merka, Hungary etc, make the chances of my ever returning to the world even more remote. Threads like this help me to know that not everyone is an enemy, but the trouble is that in the real world i cannot discern good peeps from bad until & unless the bad peeps do their thing. I am so lacking in all confidence that it's a risk i am simply unable to endure. I think it's great that for years now so many trans peeps have been confident enough to go on & just live their lives, but i wonder to what extent there's others like me who have such abundant timidity if not cowardice that the rancid transphobia & transmisia has caused us to self-censor ourselves out of public existence. The very concept that someone like me is a threat to others, especially other women, would make me laugh, were it not for the tears. </p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a>+ <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GenderDysphoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderDysphoria</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transmisia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmisia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckThePatriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckThePatriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/fsckALLreligion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fsckALLreligion</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckRWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckRWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckChristoFacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckChristoFacists</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ChangeTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChangeTheSystem</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckAroundAndFindOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckAroundAndFindOut</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misanthropy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TransRepresentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRepresentation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transwoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transwoman</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transwomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transwomen</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transkids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transkids</span></a></p>

Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:<p>This <em>might</em> not be the entire article; i'm not sure. It's quite horrific. Why are these ghastly magamorons so utterly hideous? 😢 😭 🥺</p><p><u><strong>Quote</strong></u></p><p>After cancelling nearly all NIH projects studying transgender health, Trump’s team instructs the US biomedical agency to study negative consequences of transitioning. </p><p>As the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) continues to defund nearly every research project on transgender health, the White House has directed the agency to focus on studying “regret” after a person transitions to align their body with their gender identity. Several NIH employees, who were granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the press, confirmed the directive to Nature.</p><p>Two weeks ago, Matthew Memoli, who was acting NIH director at the time, sent an e-mail to the directors of several NIH institutes. It said that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which is the NIH’s parent agency, “has been directed to fund research on a few specific areas” related to what it calls “chemical and surgical mutilation” of children and adults — a reference to gender-affirming care and surgery. “This is very important to the President and the Secretary” of the HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the e-mail added.</p><p>Based on its priorities, the White House sometimes directs the NIH — the world’s largest public funder of biomedical science — to study certain broad topics, such as cancer or women’s health, but the latest directive’s specificity, inflammatory language and focus on a hyper-polarizing topic are unprecedented, the NIH employees say. Although the White House can sometimes “push us on various different things, we normally get to chart out the approach”, a staff member says.</p><p>Many scientists, reeling from the abrupt cancellation of more than US$180 million in NIH funding for research on transgender health, slammed the proposed studies as ideologically driven.</p><p>“It’s really pigeonholing trans people into this medical lens where the only thing important to know about them is that they seek medical transition” and regret it, says Harry Barbee, who studies the health of people from gender and sexual minorities (LGBT+) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, and identifies as non-binary and queer. “When ideology is prioritized over scientific merit, that threatens the entire scientific enterprise.”</p><p>The NIH and the White House did not respond to Nature’s queries about the new research priorities or scientists’ concerns with their apparent ideological bent. The HHS said that the “NIH is prioritizing research that serves the best interests of public health, not ideological agendas, and will continue to support studies that provide clear, objective data — particularly regarding the long-term effects of gender transitions.”</p><p>Estimates suggest that 1.6 million people in the United States identify as transgender, and about one-quarter of them obtain gender-affirming surgeries. Research suggests1 that access to these procedures can reduce anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation in transgender people.</p><p>US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office on 20 January that directed the US government to stop acknowledging that gender can differ from sex at birth. The cancellation of many trans-health research grants quickly followed, and now the agency seems to be shifting the type of research it funds. The e-mail from Memoli, obtained by Nature, specifies two areas of research that the Trump administration wishes to fund about “social transition”, which is when a person changes how they express their gender to others — for example, by changing their name or appearance.</p><p>These include “regret and detransition following social transition as well as chemical and surgical mutilation of children and adults” and “outcomes from children who have undergone social transition and/or chemical and surgical mutilation”, the e-mail says.</p><p>More research on the experience of trans people — including understanding reasons for dissatisfaction after transition — is direly needed, Barbee says. But they worry that the sole focus on negative consequences is misplaced: fewer than 1% of transgender people who undergo gender-affirming surgery regret it, according to an analysis published by Barbee and their colleagues2. By comparison, 14.4% of the broader population reports regret after any kind of surgery3.</p><p>So far, about 187 NIH grants funding trans-health research have been terminated, according to an online effort to track the Trump team’s research cuts by Brittany Charlton, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, who studies LGBT+ health, and her colleagues. In 2023, the NIH funded about 180 projects in this field, according to another NIH employee.</p><p>If these proposed studies move forwards, it will create a “a distorted research ecosystem where only politically favourable findings are permitted to exist” and an “evidence vacuum for clinicians who are trying to do right by their patients”, Barbee says.</p><p><u><strong>Unquote</strong></u></p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a>+ <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GenderDysphoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderDysphoria</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transmisia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmisia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckThePatriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckThePatriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/fsckALLreligion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fsckALLreligion</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckRWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckRWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckChristoFacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckChristoFacists</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ChangeTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChangeTheSystem</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckAroundAndFindOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckAroundAndFindOut</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misanthropy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TransRepresentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRepresentation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transwoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transwoman</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transwomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transwomen</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transkids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transkids</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TuckFrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TuckFrump</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckRWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckRWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/magamorons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>magamorons</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckChristoFascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckChristoFascists</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckAllReligion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckAllReligion</span></a></p>

"Reversibility" is only a factor if one chooses to stop. The vast majority of our tiny minority know that something is profoundly wrong, from an early age, i'm not talking teens, but say 5 - 7. Back in my childhood nothing was publicly known about this, there was no language for it, no way to have conversations, no references, no support etc. I knew "something" was very wrong, but unfortunately it took me many decades to discover what, why, & how to ameliorate it [albeit too late wrt all the major external physiological changes caused by that despised wrong hormone]. That's all ancient history & now largely irrelevant, coz today much is known of & about <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GenderDysphoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderDysphoria</span></a>, so kids & their parents are easily able to identify & grasp not only what is going on, but what they can do about it. For the parents, & especially the kids, i can think of little that is more existentially devastating than to know they have safe effective options to stave off the evil wrong puberty until they are able to acquire their vital life-affirming surgeries later, with bodies not ruined by that otherwise flood of hated wrong hormones... but be prevented from doing so, by ignorant hating RWNJs & ChristoFascists. It's beyond revolting, & cruel beyond measure. </p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a>+ <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GenderDysphoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderDysphoria</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transmisia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmisia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckThePatriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckThePatriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/fsckALLreligion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fsckALLreligion</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckRWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckRWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckChristoFacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckChristoFacists</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ChangeTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChangeTheSystem</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckAroundAndFindOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckAroundAndFindOut</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misanthropy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TransRepresentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRepresentation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transwoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transwoman</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transwomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transwomen</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transkids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transkids</span></a></p>

Right here. Right now.</p><p>Australian women kickstarted one 50 years ago. We need to crank it up again.</p><p>On this day, International Women's Day, 1975, prime minister Gough Whitlam called for a "revolution in people's heads".</p><p>This was straight out of the feminist manifesto of the Australian Women's Liberation Movement, with whom Whitlam wholeheartedly agreed.</p><p>The United Nations had declared '75 International Women's Year and called on every nation to step up. Whitlam was all in. He urged women to "give the world a shove in the right direction."</p><p>Appalled by media misogyny and overt sexism, Whitlam told his audience, "... our overriding task and challenge for this year is to strike out at the attitudes".</p><p>Female oppression was "deeply embedded ... in the psychology of the society", he said. That must change.</p><p>As Whitlam knew, driving real change - transformative social and cultural change, that attempts to take the nation with you - takes moral leadership. And political capital.</p><p>International Women's Day has a way of focusing our attention. For the past decade it has become performative, overtaken by purple ribbons and cupcakes. While we sit on our hands.</p><p>This year, listening to the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese's dreary words about "marching forward", reflecting on how far "Australia has come" and "the foundations we've laid", was like floating mindlessly inside the bubble of a parallel universe, disconnected to the real world that real women live in.</p><p>Albanese's IWD speech at the annual parliamentary breakfast, hosted by UN Women, did nothing to acknowledge, much less address, the almighty anti-woman sentiment and backlash whipping women around the globe right now. Including we meek sods sitting in front of him.</p><p>According to UN Women, one in four nations report backlash on women's rights. They report "higher levels of discrimination and weaker legal protections" across the world.</p><p>Fascist plutocracies are literally ripping up reproductive rights - exciting conservative men in places such as Queensland and South Australia, who sniff the changing winds of patriarchal power.</p><p>Others, such as misogynistic theocracies in Iran and Afghanistan, are playing the God card to justify dehumanising women and banning basic human rights and freedom of movement.</p><p>In Australia women's freedom of movement, voice and expression have all taken a serious hit, now that "radical anti-feminism" is an official thing. Research from Melbourne University shocked but confirmed what women can see for themselves - female hatred is coming out of the closet. The data found "20 per cent of Australian men believe that feminism should be violently resisted."</p><p>We know that men "frustrated out of their brain" because they can't "get a girlfriend", can hunt down women in a Bondi shopping mall stabbing spree, and yet still authorities don't call it "terrorism", because it wasn't "ideologically" motivated.</p><p>"Radical anti-feminism", as detailed by the Melbourne researchers, sounds like a dangerous ideology to me.</p><p>Albanese says we need to be "clear about where we still have a long way to go."</p><p>Well, two out of every five Australians are already clear. They think "women's equal rights have gone far enough", according to research out this week from the Global Institute of Women's Leadership. Young men think this most.</p><p>Misogyny doesn't die out with the old dinosaurs. It's new, hip, cool and likes a bet on bitcoin. It's all the rage in the US these days.</p><p>The death of DEI was swift. As if suffering battered wife syndrome, American institutions learnt quickly to shut up and submit. The US National Science Foundation is not the only research organisation to remove the words "woman", "female" and gender from its website.</p><p>So, what can we take from those revolutionaries of five decades ago? Those women who set about changing their world and themselves along the way? Women whose stated goal was not "equality", but "liberation!"</p><p>When Whitlam's Women's adviser, Elizabeth Reid, walked on stage at the inaugural UN World Conference on Women, in Mexico City, 1975, to mark International Women's Year, she had steel in her spine. Over 6000 women activists, 1300 government delegates from 133 nations, and 1000 media representatives had arrived. The UN called it the "greatest consciousness raising event in history".</p><p>The world was watching and Australia's representative was there to prize open the one subject the UN did not want on the agenda - sexism. Reid let rip.</p><p>"We live in societies ... ruled by men - our societies are patriarchal," she said, eyeballing world leaders.</p><p>"None of us live in, and it is impossible to imagine living in, a non-sexist society."</p><p>The word sexism had never been used in an official UN forum before. UN member states were squirming. Reid pushed on.</p><p>"The basis of racism, racial discrimination, colonialism and neo-colonialism ... is similar to that violence against women which we call sexism. It is based on the need ... for power over other human beings. Patriarchy is yet another form of colonising people."</p><p>It is, she said, "a colonisation by mute consent".</p><p>The New York Times called Reid a "militant feminist". Historians call her an international "feminist rockstar". By the end of the UN conference, Australia was lauded for its bold, progressive approach to ending discrimination against women. Even the UN secretary-general praised Whitlam's International Women's Year program, with its focus on changing women's attitudes to themselves, and men's attitudes towards women.</p><p>But such transformative change demands nothing short of revolutionary thinking. Elizabeth Ried, her fellow femocrats and the Australian women's movement lit a feminist fire that burned bright, but now is fading from history. It worked for them. And we need it now.</p><p>In recent years, Reid asked a Canberra audience, "Why does such a movement seem so anachronistic today? What happened to this social movement? Don't women need liberating anymore?"</p><p>I asked ChatGPT. The computer said "yes".</p><ul><li> Virginia Haussegger AM is a Canberra journalist and writer.</li></ul><p><u><strong>Unquote</strong></u></p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Greens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Greens</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/VoteGreens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VoteGreens</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ProgIndies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProgIndies</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WeAreTotallyFscked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeAreTotallyFscked</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WeAreSelfishCruelBastards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeAreSelfishCruelBastards</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misanthropy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckOffDutton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckOffDutton</span></a>!
