Aimee Stephens died today. Sadly, before the supreme court could rule on Aimee's discrimination case. I was rooting for Aimee. I read the lower court's judgement. Nothing about this case 1/ https://www.theguardian.com/law/2020/may/12/aimee-stephens-trans-rights-case-dies
Redefined the word "woman" here's a link to Elizabeth Hungerford's analysis of the case https://womansplaceuk.org/2019/10/19/sex-and-gender-the-law-in-the-usa/. What is at stake are LGBT people's protections from discrimination in a work place. If Stephens (& the others bringing cases) lost, it would have made it lawful to 2/
fire someone for being gay, trans, GNC. IMO WoLF misrepresented the case. As feminists, I believe we should be backing Stephens (whose estate will still be pursuing the case) and the others. GNC women (in particular lesbians) in the US will suffer if the case is lost.3/
Allying with the right has not been a good move for WolF, conservative arguments have seaped into their position. Here is another fantastic piece by @ehungerford that sets out these arguments better than I can. https://sexnotgender.com/author/ehungerford/ . I am not a single issue campaigner 4/
I'm a feminist. If anyone is unhappy with my position, please feel free to unfollow. 5/5
