I'm in.

collieflowers · 24/01/2018 15:29

Christ, I have no idea how I did that. I only pressed it once. Sorry.

collieflowers · 24/01/2018 15:28

I have been a lurker on AIBU, and more recently the feminism board when I found it, but this issue has finally made me sign up. When I read about the meetings in Glasgow etc I was telling myself I wished there was one closer to me, so now that there is I'd better put my money where my mouth is. I hate to admit though that I'm a bit scared to go on my own (which is ridiculous as I'm 52 fgs) so if there was any chance of meeting up it would be a relief. I do have a 15 year old daughter but she seems to have avoided this so far so I'm not sure if I'd want to bring her.

I will go to this if at all possible. May possibly take a DC or 2. Worry about the rubbish they're going to be surrounded by when they go to uni. I was on a plane recently and had a nice chat with the 20 something Canadian woman next to me. Then the topic of Trans came up, and she turned into a kind of brainwashed clone person. Scary.

OOAOML · 23/01/2018 19:56

Thanks once I know more about half term availability i'll book.

PlonitbatPlonit · 23/01/2018 19:48

I'm pretty sure the eventbrite booking won't show up on your Facebook unless you choose it to.

53rdWay · 23/01/2018 19:12

Argh, I can’t make this one Sad Will be there with you in spirit!

Nineteenagain · 23/01/2018 11:55

I went to the we need to talk in glasgow booked via eventbrite on my phone and it didnt show up on my page. Hope this helps

OOAOML · 23/01/2018 11:44

Thanks, bizarre to have to worry like this! I might just set up a new email for this and responding to the consultation. Maybe go in via Firefox instead of Internet Explorer as well.

MarSeeAh · 23/01/2018 11:38

When I bought my ticket I had the option of sharing on FB and chose not to. Same with the Glasgow event. As long as you choose not to share it should be ok.

Or for peace of mind, sign up with a different email address.

I understand the paranoia - I now have various email addresses and aliases both on FB and Twitter.

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 23/01/2018 11:36

Can we have more theme music?

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 23/01/2018 11:33

Not paranoid. Could you use a different browser and log into eventbrite with email instead of using an account that is linked to your fb?

I don't know if it's automatic or if you can select not to share with your fb contacts. My eventbrite is only linked to my email.

Ok this is going to sound really paranoid but if I book on eventbrite will it show on my FB events? I have at least one FB friend vocal on trans rights, and I can't face a pile-on. But nor do I want to stop using FB on my phone (which I also use eventbrite on). I know some events show up.

BetsyM00 · 23/01/2018 09:24

Fab Plectrum, thank you!

PlectrumElectrum · 23/01/2018 01:22

I'd like to propose this

Vagina Anthem

By the Hungry Hearts to play on the train to Edinburgh.

It's catchy. Definitely worth a chorus of 'what the fuck is wrong with you' on the journeySmile

MarSeeAh · 23/01/2018 00:12

I've bought my ticket!

I'm a short train journey from Glasgow, so maybe could meet up with others at Central or Queen's Street and we could get train to Edinburgh together. I don't know Edinburgh well at all - it has two big stations, a castle and trams - so a guide with local knowledge would be much appreciated!
