    They've all been terfy to a certain degree historically, to my knowledge there's not a single one that you can say is perfect and that's why Red Fightback ended up becoming a thing. I'm certain CPB comes up in their book from a couple years back but would need to dig through it to find the specific policy, I think it was some "upholding gender rights of women to protect them" terf bullshit.

    What the situation is currently with them on terf shit I do not know but CPB has been very visible at events and active in organising lately which has probably played a major role in current growth.

    EDIT:

    At the CPB’s 2018 congress, it was decided to defend and promote ‘sex-based rights and protections’ based on the contention that women’s oppression is caused by ‘biological sex’, and ‘reinforced by gender stereotyping’.

    From: https://redfightback.org/read/transphobia_in_the_left#class-origins-of-gender

    The other parties aren't spared either. Like I said though this is now several years old and I'm unaware of what the current situation is with them and whether they made strides to improve on this.

    EDIT: I'll also add that I've worked with and know several good comrades at CPB. Nobody is going to throw baby out with the bathwater at a time when shit is popping off. Be critical if there's still issues but we've got shit to do right now as well.

        So this is actually them being TERF-y and not a ham fisted way of saying that the idea of biological sex is a root of gendered oppression?
