Gender Is Not an Identity,
It Is a Tool of Patriarchy
by Green Goude
(Gender Critical Greens, £2.50)
THERE is something wrong when respected members of the left feel the need to adopt pseudonyms to write a pamphlet about gender identity politics.
But if you read the Morning Star or were at the London Anarchist Bookfair recently — or go on Twitter — you will know that there is an intense and sometimes violent debate going on over the question of gender identity.
This pamphlet, in a considered and rational way, tries to calm down the anger and open up the debate. Green Goude begins by reminding us: “Men are fine, women are fine. Every body is fine, every body is perfect.”
