I was very pleased (for which read delighted, elated, validated) when that thread popped up in the 'mainstream'.

NotTerfNorCis · 22/01/2018 23:45

So there's more than one? People seem pretty angry.

Oh sorry, I was actually reading a different thread to the one you referenced.

Okay, maybe not on fire, but certainly simmering.

Me as well, mooncup. I’ve been bullied a lot at work (by other women), so am not at all up for having this discussion with hostile strangers.

It’s as if the phrase ‘hate speech’ has become the most powerful political weapon.

Fire at someone and it kills the fight before it’s even started.

How did scientific fact become something people are so scared of?

I know. It's awesome!

Those women are on fire.

There is nothing like a fucked off woman.

AIBU is turning gender critical!

It is difficult, because there are layers and then it goes off on a tangent. Plus of course, all the acronyms!

I think someone else has already posted this, but this is a start.

Thank you so much, it's a lot to take in and I may have to read it a few more times to properly understand it but I'm sure I'll get it eventually!

SweetGrapes · 22/01/2018 23:17

I am this woman (a little bit - have started posting things on facebook in my own name). Not quite there- but I'll get there!

LanaKanesLeftNippleTassle · 22/01/2018 23:16

Ooooh thanks lizzie......
Will def donate to them when I get paid.

Thanks to this board I have reached peak fucking trans....and got DP onside too.

mooncuplanding · 22/01/2018 23:11

I am this woman

But I am also not this woman because often in rl, I keep quiet and do not express this truth for fear of transphobe hate

So really, I wish I were this woman

lizzieoak · 22/01/2018 23:08

And a link to donate to them as someone below mentioned.

An interesting list of resources from Vancouver Rape Relief regarding women only spaces (& their defence of that in court).

I am this woman

TrinitySquirrel · 22/01/2018 22:53

Can we donate to the crisis centre anywhere? I'd be quite happy if they were able to fight that battle 1000x over.

LanaKanesLeftNippleTassle · 22/01/2018 22:51

Assigned Just when I feel like giving up I watch something like that and it gives me a bit of hope back.

PerfectlyDone · 22/01/2018 22:44

I am this woman.

"Truth is not hate" - hear, hear!

TheBadgersMadeMeDoIt · 22/01/2018 22:22

Shocking, that one of the bravest things I have seen in a while is a woman daring to define the word 'woman' at the women's march.

Absolutely. It feels like we're on the brink of some dystopian nightmare.

SonicBoomBoom · 22/01/2018 22:06

Assigned wow. Good for her. She's amazing.
