Poster: "For Spirits..."
As long as socially constructed gender norms have existed, there have been those who would not or could not conform to them, and those people have been a force for everyone's liberation.
We have prepared a new poster drawing on centuries-old art and poetry to celebrate this.
https://crimethinc.com/posters/for-spirits
The text is from John Milton, writing in Paradise Lost:
For Spirits, when they please,
Can either sex assume, or both
And works of love or enmity fulfill.
The artwork is by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite.
For further discussion of gender, gender abolition, and gender self-determination, you could start here:

Hello
We have seen a small resurgence in group ‘raids’ where a large number of accounts join a group with a few occasionally sending explicit or inflammatory content.
This falls outside our project scope for listing accounts. Many accounts used are bots. But, we wanted to make a PSA on how to handle raids where a large number of users are joining at once.
If your group is in the middle of a raid follow these steps.
1. If your group is public (has an @) do not make it private. Your group username will be stolen.
2. Go into the permissions menu under group settings and disable users ability to add members. You can also disable all users ability to send media or post messages temporarily here if content is being spammed.
3. Turn on ‘approve new members’ if your group is public.
4. If your group is private revoke the main invite link.
5. Go through every issued invite link (they should be in the group settings) and turn on the ‘approve new members’ setting or revoke the link.
6. You should see new joins slow. Even if you don’t, begin clean-up.
7. Once the raid is over make sure to re-enable anything you’ve disabled such as allowing users to add other members or post.
It will still be slightly annoying and require some clean up, but these steps should help minimize the impact of these sorts of trolls.

I know I've probably said this before, but I'm sort of against "all men" rhetoric, even if I understand where it's coming from
Ime it's less effective at making non-feminists into feminists (or even progressive feminists into radfems) than it is at making feminists into transphobes

And yes, I know what it's *supposed* to mean, but that's not what it's saying, to most people it sounds like an argument from/in favor of gender essentialism

As many in the comments have mentioned, it CAN be useful as a shibboleth to signal for feminist-woman solidarity, and that's one of the more reasonable uses of the phrase. It just shouldn't be deployed, you know, argumentatively

But, ofc, there's a down-the-line conversation to be had about whether it should be used at all if it's so weaponizable by transphobes
That's honestly an issue for more experienced transfeminists to settle though, not exactly my lane
