Communist Party of TERF Island Britain released a statement which includes the following questionable (and downright transphobic) statements:

States that the Gender Recognition Bill is a failure, and does not support it in any way, essentially siding with England because of their antagonism.

States that the bill will only bring confusion and legal chaos, because Scotland doesn’t align with the UK

Claims that you need gender dysphoria to be trans, essentially falling into the transmedicalist ideology

Opposes both Scotland and Wales decision to allow people to change their gender regardless of gender dysphoria, utilising a TERF argument of “men” being predators in women-only and children spaces

Believes in Gender Ideology, and claims that “Gender Ideology” suits the capitalist class despite transphobic media being rampant especially in the UK

Anyways, if anyone supports CPTI (CPB), I hope you realise that they’re no longer a good party.

Update: CPB has released a post saying that they won’t be silenced. It just shows transphobic they are.

      The UK wanted to have a unified legal definition of ‘sex’. Scotland agreed to this but later on changed this with the Gender Recognition Bill to have a different legal definition of what ‘sex’ is. The CPB opposes this, saying it will create ‘legal chaos’, basically stating that there would be differences in how it’s being carried out. The UK only recognises changes in sex only when there is gender dysphoria. Scotland changes this to ensure that anyone over the age of 16 can change their sex without needing to have gender dysphoria. The CPB thinks that a ‘unified’ legal definition of sex would help the UK somehow?

        “Legal chaos” and political differences between the nations comprising the U.K. should make any communist happy. Except for the kind who continue to support the existence of empire.

        If this kind of shit were playing out with the CPUSA, you know they’d be called out en masse for being settler socialists, chauvinists and fake communists.
