Thain Parnell, radical feminist writer and activist, exposes 'trans-activism' as the latest counter-movement against feminism. Read her article, “Feminism has been co-opted but it won't last,” originally posted on Medium. Throughout history, when great gains are made by feminists in the pursuit of women's rights and liberation, a blacklash movement strikes back – often co-opting the term 'feminism'. The practice and ideology of 'trangenderism' is simply the latest form of anti-feminist activism (a.k.a. men's rights activism). We OBJECT.

Dr Heather Brunskell-Evans from OBJECT’s management committee discusses pornography on The Wright Show, broadcast on talkRadio on 23/10/2018. The topic for debate is the recent Commons Women and Equalities Committee report on the sexual harassment of women and girls, which deems pornography to be a public health crisis. Heather brilliantly rebuts the classic arguments made in defense of pornography. She affirms that pornography is NOT sexual liberation. Listen to the interview here.

Critique of an article in the Manchester Evening News, praising a so-called 'sex workers' charity' which offers prostituted women hot drinks – BUT calls them “sex workers” and claims that they are just doing a “tough job” like “any other worker.” We OBJECT to irresponsible media referring to the sexual exploitation of women as a “job”. The MEN article blames women for their own abuse and covers up the culpability of the men who use/abuse prostituted women. We OBJECT.

Men who declare themselves to be 'transwomen' get laser-hair removal funded by the NHS – they don't even have to 'get the snip' first (or at all). The treatment received by 'transwomen' is a cut above that offered to women. An NHS Senior Consultant speaks out anonymously – public discussion of this hairy issue runs the risk of being accused of 'transphobia'. Let's not allow this to become the perm.

The female survivors of male-inflicted rape, sexual abuse and sexual violence need FEMALE-ONLY spaces and services for recovery. A rape crisis centre in Brighton is already operating ‘gender’ self-ID policy. This may be partially attributed to desperation for funding and unlawful victimisation under the Equality Act. Last week, Harry and Meghan (the Duke and Duchess of Sussex) visited the centre, but did they seek to listen to the female survivors excluded from this service? Please listen to female survivors and amplify their voices in your reply to the GRA Reform consultation (Deadline: 19th October).

Janice Williams reviews and recommends a modern version of the opera La Traviata. La Traviata tells the story of a poledancer in “the most realistic portrayal of a strip joint you are ever likely to see on stage.” The performance is snappy, fast-paced and perfectly suitable for those of us who ‘hate opera’!

If you OBJECT to the exploitation of women as sexual slaves in the prostitution industry, you should also OBJECT to the renting of women's bodies in reproductive slavery ('surrogacy'). Here are ten ways 'surrogacy' is like prostitution.

Respond to the Government Consultation on Reform of the GRA before 11pm 19th October 2018. The consultation wrongly ONLY asks ‘trans’ respondents about their protected characteristics (under the Equality Act 2010). We recommend that, even if you are not ‘trans’, you fill in YOUR protected characteristics and give YOUR opinion on the proposed law changes.

Dr Anna Cleaves critiques Shami Chakrabarti's take on 'transgenderism'. Chakrabarti's new book, Of Women, advocates for women's rights to be prioritised – but her view on 'transgenderism' contradicts and undermines this worthy objective.
