Tomorrow I shall compose myself, continue speaking up, fight on, and we'll carry on getting stronger.

But I thought I would just explode my rage here, if you all don't mind, as I want to get angry tonight instead of desperate. Join me if you want to rage in company.

So.

FUCK YOU LABOUR, with your shortlists and your dismissive hatred of the female sex.

FUCK YOU, WEP, for choosing the wrong side and abandoning women this way

FUCK YOU BBC, for your biased coverage and concerted cheerleading of transing children and ignoring women

FUCK YOU ALL, you fools who aren't listening or respecting women.

You're all creating a monster and we will hit back HARD.
Our numbers are building.
We will NOT be defeated.
We keep fighting
We keep growing.

I AM RAGING.
I WILL NOT STAND DOWN.

He's not backing down either. HE GETS IT.

"Guys, the cops are on my tail! Richard, take my advice. Don't engage with the performatively woke."

"Not so many people asking me if I think trans men are men. Gosh, i wonder if misogyny is at play somewhere in the framing of this argument? Does it sound like it's in good faith? Do I think this discussion will allow for nuance? Is this a good discussion to be had on Twitter?🤔"

Then he had this to say about the term terf

"Not a misogynistic slur, no siree."

"Women! Know your place!"

Another questionable recruit on labour women and equality advice panel.

SunsetBeetch · 06/03/2018 18:11

Re Glinner. It all started when he retweeted this

"We know as men it’s not our job to tell women how to do feminism… but we JUST CAN’T RESIST" t.co/dTqRnkklzV

Just asked for a meeting with my mp to discuss this
I'm fucking livid

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 06/03/2018 18:05

A senior Labour figure told me one of the main reasons the party has updated their position on trans rights is because of the anti-trans backlash

Translation: we don't actually give a toss about trans people, we just wanted to teach uppity women a lesson.

Yes guys we had noticed this was all about misogyny rather than trans rights.

TruScum · 06/03/2018 17:48

Owen Jones is an odious little misogynist. I age about ten years everytime I have to sully my brain with his mind farts.

Ritzsaltedcrackers · 06/03/2018 17:41

I actually despise Owen Jones, he’s a hateful, misogynistic little twerp. I hope his mother is ashamed.

Riverside2 · 06/03/2018 17:41

I'm struggling to find Linehan's original tweet, I can see various rows bit not an original remark? Does anyone have a link please? Thanks.

SunsetBeetch · 06/03/2018 17:27

FUCK YOU Owen Jones you smug, misogynistic little shit!

Reporting direct from Mr1984s Twitter account:

A senior Labour figure told me one of the main reasons the party has updated their position on trans rights is because of the anti-trans backlash.

In other words anti-trans activists overplayed their hand so much, they made Labour more pro-trans rights

For those saying: well that’s petty of Labour, isn’t it?

No: anti-trans activists drove the issue up the agenda, forced a debate and alienated people with (in some cases) an astonishingly vindictive, sometimes hateful approach, and the party acted.

It backfired, basically.

ChocolateCoveredGrapes · 06/03/2018 16:52

Owen Jones has tweeted, wimmin behold!

To paraphrase, he confirmed that the Labour party are trolling us.

So who is up for standing against or flooding any pro self-ID labour MPs in marginal constituencies?

ChocolateCoveredGrapes · 06/03/2018 16:17

Roar!

I like the suggestion of as many of as possible flooding specific constituencies and individuals standing against that areas pro Self-ID MP.

Elendon · 06/03/2018 16:13

And I don't care what colour your political views are.

Elendon · 06/03/2018 16:12

I get your rage! Roar, woman, roar!

Now turn it into a positive thing. After all we are talking and exchanging ideas on mumsnet. What's not to like about this? This is women working together to garner change. 'We believe you' is still going strong.

If we women stand united, we will never be defeated.

ChocolateCoveredGrapes · 06/03/2018 15:55

I am not cross with anyone.

It's a case of MPs voting for the 2004 GRA, then not repealing it when the EA2010 went through.

It's a case of MPs being too frightened to own their own opinions.

It's a case of MH services failing patients.

It's a case of leaders failing service users and staff because they want to appear woke, they are limited or chose to protect their career above anything else.

It's a case of people that consciously or subconsciously hate women and worship men, putting the needs of women and children last.

It's a case of people with little insight or empathy for others making demands of others that help nobody.

There is evil in all of us, we have to fight it, learn and do good instead. This will be stopped if we work together and alert the public to danger Self-ID is to human rights and safeguarding. If that doesn't work tell them it will cost the tax payer in NHS compensation to steralised kids.

TERFragetteCity · 06/03/2018 15:49

today has bravely said that Transwomen aren’t Women - I think I love him

Just been reading that - I can't see him being one for turning...he said it was good to be able to clear out the misogynists. Hallelujah.

0ccamsRazor · 06/03/2018 15:42

I want a hat that says 'xx and proud'

I am so Angry that I feel I may explode

Fucking men with their fucking lady dicks

😬 😤 😣 😡 💣 💥

misscockerspaniel · 06/03/2018 15:31
  • there not their.

Thanks for posting the information on Allsorts. Excellent proof plus rage = more lobbying.

GenderApostate · 06/03/2018 15:30

I’m raging too. Not only at everything that’s already been said but also for feeling pathetically grateful when someone, normally a Man, sticks their head above the trench to support us. Graham Lineham ( writer of Father Ted, IT crowd and Black books) yesterday was being bombarded in twitter because he retweeted a radfem and today has bravely said that Transwomen aren’t Women - I think I love him .

TalkingintheDark · 06/03/2018 15:25

I second all those.

Ritzsaltedcrackers · 06/03/2018 15:01

I feel utter rage at the many, many powerful women - politicians, celebrities, journalists - who have a voice and MUST be aware of what is going on here but are choosing not to stick their necks out and are allowing ordinary women like us to do all the work and cop all the abuse instead.

I also feel rage at the idiot handmaidens who are too dim to see what's really going on here and who turn on their own sex for virtue cookies and male approval.

Finally I feel rage at the lefty dudebro pricks who are cheering this on, pretending to be progressive but actually secretly thrilled that they finally get the opportunity to shit all over women in the guise of social justice.

misscockerspaniel · 06/03/2018 14:57

Yesterday, I got the distinct impression that their was a concerted effort going on by TRAs to flood MN with posts. I checked out a few of the posters and wasn't surprised to see that they didn't have a posting history.

Yes, I had the rage yesterday and had trouble sleeping. But I woke up this morning, determined more than ever to fight the misogynist, bullying bigots and their warped ideology.

Wanderingwomb · 06/03/2018 14:53

I don't really care if anybody thinks they have found a scientific support for transgenderism. As long as penis owners go around commiting the majority of violent and sexual crimes I am going to demand the right to have an occasional space away from them.

YesItsADebate · 06/03/2018 14:44

If anyone really wnats leaflets, this is what the ones we have look like.
