MeMoMa — feminism that knows what a woman is
MeMoMa is a platform for sex-realist feminism. Essays, analyses and legal commentary that expose the dismantling of women's rights through self-identification — and that give back the language in which that discussion can be conducted.
Profile
MeMoMa starts from a simple premise: women's rights have historically been won on the basis of sex, not on the basis of self-chosen identity. As soon as the concept "woman" is legally stretched to include any man who calls himself one, the foundation of those rights falls away. The platform publishes from a feminist, legal and philosophical angle.
Positions
- Sex is a biological fact, not a social construct that can be defined away.
- Women's spaces — shelters, changing rooms, prisons, sport — have a function that cannot be replaced by rhetorical goodwill.
- The UK Supreme Court ruling (2025) recognises biological sex as legal reality in the Equality Act.
- Sex-realism is not an anti-transgender position: it does not contest the existence of transgender people, but the disappearance of sex as a legal category.

MeMoMa fits into a broader European field of sex-realist and parent-group voices. See also EGGÖ in Austria and Generazione D in Italy. The arguments are consistent across language borders: sex as reality, women as a category, evidence for care instead of ideology.
