CNT-AIT has a new statement rightfully denouncing the transphobia of the CNT-CIT. I would remind them to look into their own organization with the IWA-AIT Asia-Pacific Sub-secretariat defending transphobes in the Philippine and Australian sections (MK-IWA and ASF-IWA respectively).
Nothing but silence from the other sections. Not just silence, but the IWA-AIT actively covers up the transphobia.

@abolisyonista Along with a whole host of other IWA-related groups, too.
When I posted about how this issue exists within a whole range of anarcho-syndicalist organisations, I got so many messages from people in Europe who either left IWA-related orgs *or* tried working with them only to feel excluded from the start. (Same also applies to the SWERF rhetoric they allow to proliferate, too.)

@abolisyonista Same, same. And I still *try* to work with orgs when I need to, but I've definitely moved away from that being explicitly where I go.
Especially because the IWA-related one near me has worked with and supported "anarcho"-nationalists. 🙃 And also refuses to actually deal with harassment and abuse that takes place within their section.
Also, they seem to find it very strange and confusing that marginalised genders won't work with them! As if it's complicated to figure out how the anarchomachos in the group make it uncomfortable for most of us.

What exactly did they do or say that was transphobic? I am a complete outsider to the situation.

When and where were such statements made by IWA members?
