As a gender critical person (more like: gender atheist), I have become aware that today is gender critical coming out day.
I am not actually willing to come out at work as gender critical, but I have slowly been doing so to trusted friends and family, when the context is appropriate. I do hope to be able to do so at work at one day, though my current reading of the barometer is that the situation will become worse before it becomes better, if it becomes better.
I take, as a starting point, the definition of 'gender critical' from Maya Forstater:
To those, I would add corollary
B2: Being male is an immutable biological fact, not a feeling or an identity.
But I would change (D) to say 'it is important to be able to talk about sex in order to take action against any discrimination, violence or oppression that affect people because they are of a particular sex.'
I encourage board members to go on YouTube to see people's statements about coming out as gender critical.

I take, as a starting point, the definition of 'gender critical' from Maya Forstater:
(A) “Sex” is a material reality which should not be conflated with “gender” or “gender identity”.
(B) Being female is an immutable biological fact, not a feeling or an identity.
(C) Sex matters.
(D) In particular it is important it is important to be able to talk about sex in order to take action against the discrimination, violence and oppression that still affect women and girls because they were born female.
