We write this statement as young supporters, readers and honest well-wishers of the Morning Star.

We wholeheartedly support and champion the Morning Star. In a media environment which is extraordinarily hostile to the interests of working class people, it is a treasured advocate for the labour movement. Its coverage of industrial disputes and commitment to socialist politics are second to none, and the paper has a vital role to play in society.

We also believe in the human dignity of all, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or ability. We believe that intrinsic to socialism are the human rights of all marginalised and oppressed groups in society and that our movement must strive to achieve this. Freedom from discrimination and prejudice, the maximisation of human potential and the right to live as one chooses – granted it does not infringe upon others rights – is crucial to this.

That is why we support the Labour Party’s policy to reform the Gender Recognition Act in line with the principle of self-declaration, and Labour’s recent clarification that trans women are able to stand in All Women Shortlists. Trans people have long argued that the current over-medicalised process for transitioning gender on their birth certificate has serious detrimental effects to their mental health, as well as being expensive, invasive and arduous. We support their right to define the needs of their community.

We also recognise that any potential arenas where self-declaration could be maliciously exploited to harm vulnerable individuals needs to be carefully considered. A reformed Gender Recognition Act must include clauses to allow for prisons, refuges and hospital wards to exercise the necessary flexibility to guard against any such rare cases of false self-declaration.

Having listened to the many legitimate concerns women have about self-declaration, all of which have been dealt with practically in other countries who have implemented this policy, we conclude that there is no inherent contradiction between trans rights and women’s rights.

Yesterday, the Morning Star published a letter, signed by 153 people, which outlined four acts of aggression by trans activists against “ordinary women” and a condemnation of the tactics of violence and intimidation being employed.
Read without context, the letter reads like a reasonable and heartfelt plea for civility. Indeed, many of those who signed it will have taken it at face-value and treated it as such. However, the context and the signatories reveal much more than is apparent in the letter.

Firstly, the juxtaposition of “trans women” and “ordinary women” is a false one that the vast majority of women do not buy into. Most women on the Left – and in society at large – advocate solidarity between trans women and cis women, as shown by consistent opinion polls.

Secondly, the acts of violence and intimidation reported on are a one-sided version of event that paints a black-and-white picture of the aggressive oppressor (trans women) and the helpless victim (“ordinary women”). This demonization plays on women’s fears of male aggression. Much abuse and intimidation online comes in the form of bullying and shaming trans women through name-calling, doxing, references to their genitalia and disclosure of intimate details of their previous gender.

Thirdly, the signatories do not match up to the victim status they aspire to. They include Jennifer James, who was suspended from Labour for transphobic bullying and abuse - and who raised £27,000 in an attempt to take the Labour Party to court to ban trans women from standing on All Women Shortlists. The letter, overall, supports the anti-trans group Women’s Place UK who are lobbyists for the cause of demonising transgender people.

It is hard to honestly deny that this letter isn’t just another part of a long-running propaganda campaign which not only seeks to obstruct reforms to the Gender Recognition Act, but to vilify and demonise trans women.

This anti-trans media moral panic bears a strong resemblance to the anti-gay media moral panics of a few decades ago. It has whipped up the fears of a coalition of concerned mothers, socially conservative older people and gender-critical feminists who can’t fathom transwomen through any lens other than “men who are trying to harm women”. It saddens us greatly to see that the Morning Staris an industry-leader in this biased coverage of trans issues.

We are disappointed by the unbalanced coverage of the trans debate taking precedence over the great number of other important issues the Morning Star covers. For instance, at a quick online search of sixteen articles recently published by the Morning Star about transgender issues, 14 could be described as "hostile" to trans people while only 2 could be described as "supportive" or "neutral" on the question of trans people.

Like most Labour Party and union members, we care about creating a movement and a country in which the rights of marginalised and oppressed people are protected.

Most worryingly, it is obvious that the Morning Star's apparent policy of giving voice to a small-but-vocal group of trans-exclusionary feminists is deterring thousands of young readers and is a source of embarrassment to the paper’s young supporters.

The paper risks becoming wholly toxic to the thousands of young socialists, inspired by Jeremy Corbyn, who should be the Morning Star’s natural constituency - and who will be the paper’s future readership if it is to have a future.
The Morning Star has a proud and extraordinary history. It continues to make a vital contribution to the British labour movement.

However, if the Morning Star continues to prioritise the views of a minority of anti-trans lobbyists over the vast majority of young progressives in our movement, we believe the paper does not have a future. If change doesn’t come, the paper is doomed.

We hope that the Star’s editorial board will take this opportunity to end this toxic coverage.
