Justine stands up for FWR in The Times

Everything WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe said.

Plus

We vote too.

According to Venice, the Mecure hotel has backtracked, saying that tweet was unauthorised.

She thinks it is in light of the conviction of the violent transactivist, Wood.

Presumably the Mercure wants to avoid aligning themselves with such behaviour.

Maybe Mumsnet advertisers, too, are beginning to see through the bullying, violent tactics of transactivists.

Roberts said: “A significant minority of our users feel very strongly about women’s rights and very uneasy [about the proposals]. This is an issue that needs to be discussed and that’s why we’re prepared to take any potential advertising hit.”

Bloody hell, Justine !!!

That is awesome.

Brilliant! This is excellent news!!

Justine - THANK YOU.

And I love you. And Mumsnet. And Mumsnet feminists.

I'm glad to hear no advertisers have actually pulled out - hopefully they won't.

Here's to women speaking freely.

As women we don't only buy the food and clothes for our families, we choose insurance companies, fuel providers, phone and internet providers, who we bank with and who we buy mortgages from. We buy the pet food, choose the caterers and venues for family and works' events. We book the holidays, choose care packages and care homes for our elderly relatives. Because women are responsible for making so many of the bloody decisions about where money is spent, whether we want to or not it falls to us.

So, come on in and try to damage Mumsnet's advertising revenue if you want. As we're mostly left with all the drudgery of managing the finances of families I think we have more power than most groups of people. We'll see . . .

Thank you @JustineMumsnet, what a fantastic defence of our right to free speech.

It raises an interesting question. Do advertisers want to give up millions of women who are customers for the sake of a few hundred transgender identified males, and their supporters who may or may not be customers, who oppose the women's right to discuss a change in law that directly affects women.
We are reminded once again that transgender advocates view women's rights as anti trans.

Cheers Justine.

Incredible piece. Love that woman.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Applaud you standing your ground, @JustineMumsnet, thank you

Make it clear to any advertiser who threatens to pull out that you will name and shame them. They would be fools to throw away millions of MNetter customers to please a few TRAs

Yes Justine, please do this.

Thank you so much to @JustineMumsnet and all at MNHQ. Keeping this space open for us must be really difficult, you must be facing huge pressure.

I have learned so much about so much in the years I've been on MN. Long may it continue .

Thank you @JustineMumsnet and @MNHQ

Brava Justine!

Yay for Justine and all at MNHQ who defend women's right to free speech

Make it clear to any advertiser who threatens to pull out that you will name and shame them. They would be fools to throw away millions of MNetter customers to please a few TRAs.

THANK YOU @JustineMumsnet! Massive [beer][bacon] for everybody at @MNHQ who has worked so hard to allow this debate to happen.

I stand with you.

👊 💐 👊 💐 🍸 for Justine

JUSTINE

And can someone update me on which banks support Mermaids, as I have to remove my business from them

Justine

I'm bloody sure women spend more money in women's clothing departments than men do

So keep men out of our changing rooms - or I will spend my money elsewhere

Thanks

The End

Well bring it on advertisers! Boycott Mumsnet for allowing women free speech and providing support at their most vulnerable time, whether it be dealing with a newborn or divorce, or infidelity, or seeing your rights dwindle. Give us the names of these women-hating companies, so that we may boycott them too. Let's start with Mercure hotels who refused to host a group of women discussing legal changes and posted diffamatory tweets against them. We are plenty and we hold the purse. We will not allow attacks on free speech and women's rights. Justine and Mumsnet staff, we are so grateful for your hard work
