Finally joined twitter

Morning all Smile I've finally got my arse in gear and joined Twitter. Ive followed some of the obvious people (drradfem, a womans place etc) just wondering if anyone can recommend anyone else? I don't really understand Twitter! Do I need to follow the TRAs to see what they're saying or will things like that just appear in my feed?

Sorry for all the questions Smile

Try finding GC peeps using hashtags. Off the top of my head;

#sexnotgender
#selfID
And
#LabourLosingWomen

@glosswitch

@VictoriaPeckham writes very good articles for the Times.

If you click on where it says her followers (40.7k followers atm) you'll probably find others you may want to follow and build from there.

Silly I think it's a reference to Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Goody (a contraction of Goodwife) was the equivalent of "Mrs" in Puritan American society of the day, so I think the reference is to both the Salem witch trials and McCarthyism.

Does anybody understand why GC people have changed their names to 'goody'? I am new to Twitter and think I missed something

I just can't get my head round twitter at all.

I can't make sense of it. When I follow people, I get their tweets - in chronological order? And if I click on them, I can see a conversation?

But then I have to go back, and new tweets are there.

And I don't get hashtags at all.

I'm just going to drink gin instead.

I search keywords and follow everyone Grin

Thanks @millyminty - I will definitely be following the cats!

millyminty · 28/01/2018 16:37

If you like cats then follow @hourlykitten and @catreviewer - should help to keep you chilled in amongst all the other stuff. Probably similar feeds if u r a dog lover.

Follow local politicians. I advise following tra's but as soon as they see you're gender critical you'll be blocked. They will not listen and they will not debate.

I find it useful to follow usually-sensible people who appear to have had their heads turned momentarily by the TRAs. I get an insight from them as to how to target similar people in order for them to properly see the light, eg @stellacreasy

You’ll see what I mean after a bit, their are some people saying weird stuff!

Morning, I only joined a week or so ago. It’s.....crazy. I found a few GC people then twitter starts suggesting similar types. No need to follow the TA’s, they pop up and frankly you wouldn’t want to follow some of them. My advice is to keep it calm and maybe don’t post in anger.
