Gender Abolition
A Gender Abolition Community on Lemmy
Welcome to [email protected] a community dedicated to the discussion of the Gender Abolition movement, and general discussions around gender abolition. This community is open both to people who are gender abolitionists themselves, or those curious about Gender Abolition.
What is gender Abolition?
Gender abolition is the belief that gender roles and gender stereotypes as societal constructs are harmful and oppressive and must be eliminated to create a more free and accepting society. Gender abolition is often also referred to as post-genderism or Gender Anarchy.
A post-gender society doesn't mean that everyone is expected to appear or present androgynous. It means people are allowed to present in whatever way they want or feel comfortable without the risk of discrimination or harassment.
Disclaimer
Gender Abolition does not share anything in common with the TERF movement "Gender Critical" which tries to frame itself as similar, but actually enforces the hostile gender roles and stereotypes Gender Abolition seeks to dismantle.
Rules
Rule 1: No Transphobia, Similar rhetoric or apologia of it.
Transgender, cisgender, and isogender identities are equally valid. Any rhetoric or language targeted against these groups of people will be reported and removed. Additionally any encouragement or apologia towards such rhetoric will be reported, removed and lead to a ban.
This community does not tolerate identity based discrimination.
Rule 2: No Racism
We stand with Race Abolitionists, who aim to remove the harmful ideas and institutions of race in the same way we tackle the issue of gender. Racial essentialism and other racist rhetoric will be reported and removed.
Rule 3: Other Bigotry Not tolerated
Colorism, ageism, ableism, classism, and other forms of bigotry or attacks on groups of people will be reported and removed.
Rule 4: Use Precise Wording
Sexual features involve a variety of biological traits. Gender is an abstract idea or label. Sexism is discrimination based on sexual features, while misogyny and misandry are gender based bigotries. Clearly distinguish between these terms, and note when other sources fail to do so.
Rule 5: Tag NSFW content | No pornography
Pornographic content of any kind — including sexually explicit imagery or phrases — is not allowed on this community. Explicit descriptions of sensitive topics, such as hate crimes or suicide, must be tastefully posted with the NSFW tag. Otherwise, sensitive topics may be briefly or lightly discussed without requiring the NSFW tag.
