On another thread I have been wondering if we can't organise and fight this fight properly.

I'm hoping this thread can be a space for us to organise and think about what we do next and throw out ideas.

I think we need a central website that will have a name that's also appealing to non feminists.

As in the other thread , I'm happy to open my home as a point to chat and organise. I'm in south London.

I also think we should have a social media campaign and as many of us as possible make videos for our social media accounts, even if you are crap at this as I am, I can't edit or anything. So long as you feel able.

We need to put together ten points at least for this. The first five of which need to be snappy and appeal to most women if people want to make shorter videos.

There is no point preaching to the choir, we need to have this simplified and slick enough to appeal to women like my sister who is working class as I am and just ignores every bloody thing I send her on this topic.

On the other hand we need to have the intellectual women ready to go with mass media and write their blogs etc.

Also I think the Richie Allen show would be a good place to send someone on, we have to choose who. I would do it but I'm shit at remembering facts and figures really. I'm no intellectual I'm afraid.

I'm a bit pissed tonight do this might not be totally coherent but you know what I'm saying here.

We have to fight back.

Fight back against men being able to identify as female on a whim, be transferred to women's prisons, enter women's spaces like the situation at the Barbican right now, the men's loos there are carrying on just fine.

Children being prescribed pills that will make them infertile. Women's sports. Ring taken over by bigger stronger men, gallon fox being a good case.

Young lesbians being encouraged to identify as male and have mastectomy without proper counselling.

And so on and so on. Just all this shit.

Fight back against what exactly? People choosing their gender and being supported through the process by the NHS? Heck, no!

But M to F transgenders telling us how to be women? I support the point but don’t see what there is to fight for. I don’t regard trans-genders as being in my pool of competition in any sphere, tbh.

Also organise a march and conscious raising groups as they did in the 60's~70's

You can start the first one in my living room once a month.

Obviously on the centr website we will link to every good site about this and connect with those women and men.

Perhaps we could have a weekly vlog too. Ask people to make a short video for us and show a different one every week on the social media platforms to keep it interesting.

Miranda Yardley and other people.

I know nothing about setting up a website, would this cost money?

Then obviously we would have our Facebook YouTube and twitter accounts all connected with the main website.
