Women Are Human
Women Are Human is an English-language website that presents itself as an independent source of news about gender identity around the world. The site collects reports on the effects of gender identity policies on women, focusing on safety, the law and sport.
What you can find
The articles are organised into categories such as crime, law, sport, politics, research, and books and media. Many pieces are short news reports based on court records and local media from various countries. Some articles are signed by the editorial team, while others are written by individual contributors.
Background
The site has only been updated sporadically since late 2022 and therefore mainly serves as an archive of older reports. Its selection is one-sided: it highlights incidents but provides no figures on how often they occur. See also archive and international developments.
Founding and contributors
The site's About page names Diana Shaw as its founder, editor and writer. According to that page, the site was launched in March 2018 and was fully operational by June 2018. It is run by volunteers who describe themselves as politically moderate and left-wing. Other names appearing on articles include Karen Finlay and Clare Dimyon, alongside guest contributors. The site asks for donations, operates a shop and invites readers to submit their own pieces.
Position and terminology
The site's creators write that the gender identity movement dehumanises women and girls. They describe the relationship between women's rights and transgender rights as a struggle in which one side's gain is the other's loss. The aim is to inform ordinary readers and encourage social, political and economic action. The site uses its own terminology, such as transgender-identified, and has a separate category in its crime section for suspects and perpetrators who identify as transgender. In addition to its categories, the news is organised by continent, with many reports from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
How to use and assess this source
The reports on criminal cases can be useful as a starting point, provided you look up the judgment or the local newspaper report yourself. A series of incidents says nothing about the scale of a problem; that requires statistics. This issue is discussed under trans people and women's safety. A site with a similar format that is still being updated is Reduxx.
