Yes!!! from our first book.
'Fascism and the Womenβs Cause offers a vital and unvarnished insight into the ways in which historical campaigns for womenβs rights often intertwined with far right and fascist ideas about gender, race, class, and empire.'

Straight from a Chaplin film from 1918.
Excellent podcast with @sisyphusa.bsky.social on Starmer channelling Enoch Powell
There is pattern in British history of βwhiteness riotsβ which are then followed by state rhetoric and legislation to appease the racists: 1919, 1958 and now 2024.

Book cover: Fascism and the Womenβs Cause by Alex Charnley and Michael Richmond
Finally got my copy yesterday and jumped straight into it
Brilliant book as expected and so necessary at a time when reactionaries aim to divide us, cosplaying as defenders of women's rights and the liberal centre conveniently laps it up

Joshua Clover speaking to group on microphone.
Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of author, poet, and anti-capitalist theorist Joshua Clover. We were lucky enough to speak with Clover in 2017 on our podcast. May his work continue to be an inspiration. itsgoingdown.org/make-world-s...
tl;dr = A rough-and-ready review of two important books: one published six weeks ago and the other today.
Both of them explaining the trans exclusionary politics of the present by looking for models from the past.

A picture of an endorsement of Charnley and Richmond's 'Fascism and the Women's Cause.' The book cover is on the left and to the right is the endorsement in white font on a lavender background. The endorsement says: 'This book is a tremendous resource and an exciting, theoretically sophisticated achievement. At a time when certain feminisms have reasserted themselves as one of fascism's forms of appearance, Alex Charnley and Michael Richmond's intervention could not be more critical.' Sophie Lewis' name is in a larger font and underneath in a smaller font are Lewis' publications, 'Author of Full Surrogacy Now (Verso, 2019) and Enemy Feminisms (Haymarket Books, 2025).' On the bottom right is a cream coloured badge that says in lavender font 'Preorder now.'

The UK Supreme Courtβs transphobic ruling on the definition of woman last week is a defeat for all womenβeven, ultimately, the self-described feminists celebrating it, and the women who will gain in the short term from their alliance with the carceral state.
my latest for @thenation.com
This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

Such a lovely endorsement from @reproutopia.bsky.social
The book is out soon, April 29th!
Preorders really help out and this is a brilliant, important book too.
My analysis of today's UK Supreme Court judgment.
The UK Supreme Court Rules That Trans Women Aren't Women Under the Equality Act 2010
www.wearequeeraf.com/uk-supreme-c...
There are lots of us and we are well organised and connected to each other. However hostile the conditions get we will be able to look after each other as we already do. We're inventive and the law has never stopped us before nor has it stopped the oppression we face.
The Equality Act was passed in 2010, it was not the source of the social progress that led to itβs creation and it has not been the source for the progress that followed (nor has it protected us from regression).
The ruling today is a bump on the road towards trans liberation, not the end of it.
