Social media is regularly discussed, and a significant amount of responsibility is assigned for the emergence of transgender people. Claiming Victimhood: Gender Neutral Toilets as Undermining the Rights of Cisgender People When Dave Chappelle released his Netflix special The Closer, widely condemned for its transphobia, fellow standup Hannah Gadsby was among the protesters, describing the streamer as an “amoral algorithm cult” in an open letter to its CEO, Ted Sarandos. Now comes Netflix’s “carbon offset show”, as Gadsby drolly calls it: a mixed bill featuring the Nanette star and their curated lineup of “gender diverse” standups. It is being recorded on Saturday; the Soho theatre gig I attended earlier this week was a warmup. These challenges persist at a time when many companies, particularly in North America and Europe, are pursuing an arsenal of measures aimed at easing women’s progress through the organization. Such measures include efforts to make appraisals objective and unbiased; the adoption of diversity targets; greater flexibility in remote working; smoother transitions before, during, and after maternity leave; and executive coaching for high-potential vice presidents. Of the 235 European companies we surveyed recently, for instance, more than 60 percent told us they have at least 20 gender diversity initiatives in place. Most organisations are talking about lifelong learning and upskilling, but I’ve worked all over the place and nobody I’ve come across is doing this well. If we want to support career progression we need programmes in place and they need far better signposting. The schemes also need to be far better quality if we want to produce the innovators and leaders of the future.” These laws are feminism and LGBTQ run amuk, but, let it go down. It will be the great undoing of them all. When you begin to get into this level of confusion, you know you're at the end. Let it burn. It's time.

As per the old Jewish joke “ask two Jews, get three opinions”, there’s room on this seven-strong bill (plus Gadsby) for at least that many different perspectives on gender – including some impish scepticism from Canadian comic DeAnne Smith, who complains about “getting they/them’d against my will since 2005”. The most experienced act on the bill, Smith could also be its breakout star with this set. They are very funny on the consequences of their breast-removal surgery, and strike a resonant note when they argue that “understanding everything is overrated”. Perhaps in these times of fast change, we could all accept with a little more grace that “we’re all learning”, and understanding will come when it comes. That’s a cause to which this special, when it arrives on Netflix, could usefully contribute. The term “cisgender” describes a person whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth. The use and implications of this term have been contested as a result of the enforcement of another socially constructed binary ( Jamel, 2018). Despite the complexities associated with this term, it is used within this chapter as a useful identity marker and to challenge dominant representations of both cisgender and trans people.

In the run-up to the 2022 elections in Nepal, Womankind funded Sankalpa to increase women’s participation in the elections, document obstacles to women’s electoral participation, ensure women candidates were informed about the roles and responsibilities of elected leadership and push for policies that would enable women’s participation in political life. Diverse women from each of the 7 provinces of Nepal participated.

Oasis was founded in 1987 by Barbara Ross and also led to the founding of the Transgender Conference, usually at the UEA, and fostered by the Barbara Ross Association. Oasis caters for male to female transwomen and transvestites questioning their gender identity and meets the third Saturday of each month. In Europe, many executives tell us that the momentum for change took hold only when the top team made its commitment visible—for example, by appointing women to senior positions or taking measures to ensure that they were considered for certain jobs. Sponsorship is (and always has been) a critical part of an executive’s path to the top. HR leaders tell us that these relationships are hard to institutionalize and that formal programs have mixed success. But we find it significant that one company did much better when the CEO and the diversity leader personally took charge of the sponsorship program, selected a group of high-potential women, and invited them to spend significant time with the top team. Women in the program really got to know the CEO and senior-team members, and vice versa, and most have since moved up the management ladder. Managing—and cultivating—the pipeline The proposed WB Gender Strategy 2024-30 puts forward the bold ambition to accelerate gender equality for a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive future in alignment with the World Bank Evolution Roadmap. The Strategy responds to the global urgency, fundamentality, and complexity of achieving gender equality. Building on implementation of the WB Gender Strategy 2016-23, the new strategy proposes to engage with greater ambition – approaching gender equality for all as essential for global development – and to engage differently. The trans issue is way overblown, they are a small minority (Like less than 1% of our population) it seems like a huge expense nationally for us all to create bathrooms for them. advice about project planning, getting started with a project and how to deal with negative comments

Feminism is Eating Itself”: Women's Experiences and Perceptions of Lateral Violence Online Chapter 11 The progress of women toward the upper echelons of business, government, and academia continues to provoke media attention and lively debate. Look, for instance, at the coverage of Marissa Mayer’s July appointment as CEO of Yahoo! and the diverse reactions to an article (“Why women still can’t have it all”) published in the July/August issue of the Atlantic magazine.

At times, similar rhetoric is drawn upon by YouTube users that have historically been invoked in the construction of homosexuality and heterosexuality (see e.g., Baker, 2004; Perone, 2014). In this sense, we are not witnessing anything new or innovative, rather a recycling of socially recognizable motifs in the construction of cisgender people as victims. It also becomes evident throughout this chapter that claims of victim status highlight how the construction of “the self” as a victim is often achieved within a collective framework, in which entire communities are positioned as victims, emphasizing the otherness of the minority group. It is argued that claiming a victim position is key in successfully opposing the implementation of gender-neutral toilets, while simultaneously deflecting claims of transphobia, bigotry, and hatred.
