I’m a woman.

Not a “cis woman”. Just a woman. Sometimes I wear makeup, sometimes I don’t. I can put the bins out and I can cook...sometimes I don’t fancy doing either.

I have opinions and I like to express them.

Stop taking posts down MNHQ!!! Let us speak, on the safe forum that is Mumsnet. That is all.

Let’s see how long this one stays up...

Will we have to Spartacus again?

Yep.

It's like some fucking dystopian groundhog day.

WHat the hell was something deleted?

Yeah.....

The feelz of poor MRAS TRAs is much more fucking important than actual rights of women.

Coz ya know.......penis.

The second taat was a hoot! But quite seriously my eyes are opening to how women are silenced left right and centre. Not just here. Bloody bbc.

I have just had to have a strong word with myself, about feeling guilty about defending my female gender. I’m just so fucking tired of it. I want to feel like my choice of dress, career, education and motherhood are enough for me. I don’t want to have to apologise for them because someone who isn’t a woman ( nor considers themselves a man) thinks I am offending them.

I’m tired. And I’m a woman

Once again, yes StinkPickle.
We laydeez were all getting our panties in a pickle about women with penises...who are men...and then defining gender....and then TAATAAT. Then we all just disappeared down the rabbit hole and I just needed to remind myself that I AM A WOMAN (exhales gently)

I'm Spartacus, I am a woman, a penis is not female, there is no such thing as a male lesbian.

Transwomen are transwomen.

I AM A WOMAN.

I wear trousers and t shirts
I shave my head.
I never, ever wear dresses, skirts, heels or lipstick
I ride motorbikes and fix them.
I can ride a half pipe on a BMX.

I have also...
Given birth
Breastfed for 3 years
Had horrendous and debilitating periods

I AM A WOMAN.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 04/02/2018 20:33

Yet another thread gets taken down.

MNHQ is not helping my anger at this fucking silencing of women speaking the truth.

I AM A WOMAN.

I WILL NOT BE SILENCED.

StinkPickle · 04/02/2018 20:33

WHat the hell was something deleted? Shock

AreYouOrHaveYouEverBeenATERF · 04/02/2018 20:33

Oh- what's going on? Have Mike & his bro-mates got to HQ? WOuldn't be the first time.

Capelin · 04/02/2018 20:31

I am a woman.

I rarely wear make up and I find heels uncomfortable. I enjoy cooking and dislike sewing. I’m good at maths and I can parallel park, but I’m rubbish at map reading. I’ve given birth to and breast fed three babies.

NauticalDisaster · 04/02/2018 20:29

I am sick to death with the silencing of female voices today on FWR.

Stop silencing us!
