What is trans-inclusive feminism?

Feminism that understands identity as more than just biology. One that embraces complexities of gender where trans women's experiences are integral part of multiple lived experiences of being a woman.  

What is the Trans-inclusive Feminist Campaign?

• EGP's internal campaign to ensure trans-inclusive understanding of feminism across the board of the European green family.  
• Rights of trans people are at the core of feminist debates today and we want to amplify the voices of trans people in our member partiesand to send a clear message: Green feminism is trans-inclusive feminism. 

How are we doing that?

• By supporting our member parties in building trans-inclusive positions in their own policy work. 
• By acting as a bridge between our member parties in sharing knowledge, experiences, and best practices on how to be more inclusive within the party. 
• By equipping our member parties with arguments so that the green feminists can be leaders in the wider societal fight for trans-inclusion. 

Why do we need trans-inclusive feminism?

• Because there is an attempt to gate-keep women’s spaces and reduce the experiences of womanhood to biology only.  
• Because trans women have been at the forefront of feminist movements and have helped build intersectional feminism from the ground up. 
• Because trans people are facing increased prejudice, discrimination and violence from conservative right-wing actors and anti-trans groups and we can't allow that. 

European Greens are committed to:

Support member parties in fighting for legal gender recognition based on self-determination, trans healthcare based on informed consent, and the protections of trans people against discrimination. 

Strengthen our connections with actors working for trans rights and intersectional, trans-inclusive feminism in Europe 

Support the participation of trans people in politics and amplify the voices of trans people in political debates.
