Feminists Groups Criticize UN on Gender Ideology and Surrogacy
Feminist groups have recently written two open letters criticizing UN agencies for their promotion of surrogacy. They have further complained about being called “anti-rights” for opposing gender ideology. The Women’s Liberation Front, Women’s Declaration International, RadFem Italia, and other allied groups took UN Women to task for its statements denouncing “anyone who does not uncritically support the ideology of gender identity.” The authors express opposition to the UN agency’s use of the LGBTQI+ category, arguing that it is a form of “false teaming” spearheaded by transgender activists. They point out the harms that women suffer when women’s-only spaces admit men. “UN Women should support the work of women for women’s rights, not tell women that they need to place their concerns secondary to a newly declared group whose main aim is to claim women’s rights for men,” they write. They also dispute UN Women’s claim that opposition to youth gender transitioning is a “moral panic:” “Cutting off healthy body parts of children, sterilizing them, and putting opposite sex hormones into their bodies is NOT ‘healthcare’.”
