Mumsnet - thank you - today on International Women's Day I would like to celebrate you and thank you for enabling so many of us to explore the issues of transgender and its impact on women and girls in a safe space

I would have no idea about the trans debate if it wasn't for MN.

I found MN when going under due to repeated mcs. The support and information from women here was invaluable, this is - while at times it must feel to MNHQ like trying to shepherd gerbils - a truly amazing place.

to you OP I was annoyed that IWD this year has been totally hijacked by TRA

I'm so happy to see this thread

Also to the transwomen who stand together with us on these threads
and to all the eloquent posters who are showing us all what is going on

And for all of us

I wasn't even looking for this. I was following a link on the Spectator article.

Last year Mumsnet were threatened with legal action by trans children’s charity Mermaids after they refused to take down a post regarded as defamatory.

Mumsnet guidelines are quite explicit.

No personal attacks

No posts that break the law

No trolling, misleading or deliberately inflammatory behaviour

No trollhunting

No spamming

Fortunately MNHQ still support the old-fashioned notion that questioning, challenging and disagreement are not illegal.

Yet.

Thanks for giving me somewhere to come and calibrate my feelings when I read the latest terrifying/bonkers news item.

Thanks Mumsnet.

Thank you for being a space for free speech and debate, and for the valuable platform you provide for women to access peer support for all sorts of stuff!
