Until recently, I worked at a feminist nonprofit. The founders were so assured in their politics that they placed the word "feminism" in the organization's name. This was when the work was a project-with no executive director, no board, no bylaws, and no expectation or even reason to uphold worker protections.

"The loudest feminist voice in the UK is currently transphobic... Dismantling systems of oppression lies at the very core of feminism, so transphobia is not fucking feminist."
