Against Politics, Not People

This website is not about discrimination against people. It is about understanding the political ramifications of the politics that accompany the transgender movement--politics that go beyond human rights and civil rights and have the potential to destroy much of the social change and institutions that feminists have worked for.

We do not advocate against people who feel that they are transgendered. We believe they, like all people, at a minimum have a right to decent housing, jobs that pay a living wage, comprehensive health care, and a life free from violence and abuse.

We do not, however, share the political vision of those who espouse transgender politics. To the extent to which the transgender politics include the insistence that transgender individuals be served by human services designed by and for women, to the exclusion of women themselves, and the extent to which transgender politics question our ability to say that there are two socially created classes of human, male and female, and that there are social, economic, and power differentials between these two classes that amount to the oppression and domination of one over the other, we must stand opposed to trans politics.

Additionally, we do not believe that the philosophical basis for transgender politics addresses the problem of male power or the significant problem of male violence across the world which includes violence against women as well as violence against transgender people.
