I’m very angry and sad about the UK Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of the term ‘woman.’ This isn’t a victory; it’s a loss for all of us, justifying the state’s control over our gender and sexuality-something feminists have long been fighting against.

Swash interviewed Niina about the effects of the Nordic Model. Some women’s groups and researchers have been trying to introduce this law in Japan, but we strongly oppose it.
北欧モデル(買春処罰法)が北欧地域のセックスワーカーに与えた影響

北欧地域で200件以上、セックスワーカーや関係者への聞き取り調査を行ったニーナ・ヴオラヤルヴィさん(ロンドン・スクール・オブ・エコノミクスの教員)のインタビュー動画を公開しました。全編はYoutubeをご覧ください。

I had the honor of speaking with the razor sharp Julia Wong about Enemy Feminisms, & she really gets it. Writers are not always so lucky to receive such care in journalism. Thank you Julia for putting so much thought into this offering which frames EF rightly as an antifascist strategy intervention
This is a challenging book at a challenging time, but for feminists like me who tend to repudiate TERFism as "not real feminism", it's an important push to grapple honestly with history and be clearsighted about the nature of our current opponents.

It is, Sophie says, "a love letter to feminism".
‘I won’t cede the ground’: Sophie Lewis wants feminists to know their enemies – even if they’re other feminists
In a new book, Enemy Feminisms, the scholar traces a line from reactionary tendencies in history to anti-trans feminists enabling the far right today

One of the biggest strip clubs in Osaka was raided by the police yesterday. Although sex work is not illegal in Japan - except penis-vagina sex, a manager and strippers were arrested for obscenity. This crackdown might be the police’s ‘clean-up’ strategy for the Osaka Expo -_-
