The Declaration on Women’s Sex-Based Rights reaffirms women and girls’ sex-based rights, and challenges the discrimination we experience from the replacement of the category of sex with that of ‘gender identity.’ Para leerlo en español, haga clic aquí.
What the Declaration has to say about lesbians
“The concept of ‘gender identity’ […] undermines the sex-based rights of lesbians, and is a form of discrimination against women.” (Introduction).
A lesbian is “an adult human female whose sexual orientation is towards other adult human females.” (Article 1)
Lesbians have the right “to assemble and associate on the basis of their common sexual orientation, without including men who claim to have female ‘gender identities’.” (Article 5)
If you agree, we hope you’ll sign the Declaration on Women’s Sex-Based Rights to join a network of like-minded women across the country!
