We had an impressive and very well organized event yesterday in Brussels from @AthenaForumEU. Voices from European women from UK @HJoyceGender, from Spain @SilviaCarrascoP, Norway @AnneKalvig72, Germany (me) and @ENoMW raised concerns about the harms of gender identity ideology on women, children and democracy. We told our very personal stories of cancelling, harassment, police reports, legal cases, job and career loss etc. and why we still won‘t be silenced! But: We need the courage of journalists and politicians on national and EU level to fight this destructive madness - as we do. The risk of bad press - while you still get paid very well by our tax money - is nothing compared to what women are facing in this fight. And it‘s your obligation being the voice of concern to save democratic values. I had no time for my closing statement, so I publish it here: We have enough proof by now, that Self-ID legislation is harmful. This panel shows, how women's lives are being destroyed for speaking up. It's unacceptable that policymakers in our countries and in Europe ignore this reality and leave the field to the far right. Voters don't appreciate identity politics, but expect reality based legislation. Women's rights are not far right, but universal and a crucial pillar for democracy. We demand, that you return to what you are voted and paid for! Thank you, @AthenaForumEU and @el_nagashi for organizing this event and for pushing the way back to fact based politics on EU level.
