TERF=Trans-exclusionary radical feminist, basically people who use feminist lingo to hide their transphobia. CPGB-ML has a long history of doing such stuff
They’re not an organisation with the goal of spreading TERF ideas. They’re comrades with some regressive stances on sexuality.
I’d take a thousand comrades who don’t have perfect views on inclusion, over some Trans CEO having a diversity team in their conglomerate. Granted I’m biased as someone who is not historically opressed, but I think we should focus on material gains for people hurting instead of dividing ourselves unnecessarily.
it’s not a regressive stance on sexuality, it’s an aggressively reactionary view of gender identity; they’re not just ignorant about it, they have a history of fearmongering about trans women, possibly to pander to the mainstream transphobia in the UK
Ok I did more research and it seems their views on sexual identities are more ingrained and backwards than I’d like. But I’d still say better than many organizations that are reactionary in identities and economy
Yeah but it is a false dichotomy though. You don’t have an obligation to accept this mythical “trans CEO” if you call out CPGBML on their extremely regressive views on gender.
this all may be true, but can you try not to repost a TERF organization?
What’s a TERF?

Who exactly is asking you to take “some Trans CEO having a diversity team in their conglomerate”?
I was speaking generally. Rainbow capitalism is still capitalism. I’m saying I’d prefer generic communism over rainbow capitalism
