If not here goes....

(If there is can someone link for me please? Have searched to no avail.)

I am Spartacus.

I won’t stand by and watch gender critical feminists be thrown under the bus to pander to a very vocal minority who wish to rewrite biology, feminism and common sense.

I am Spartacus - for the sake of my daughters and my mother and all the other females who suffer due to their biological sex.

Still Spartacus

Men will never be women. EVER.

New Spartacus late to the vocal party (sorry) but ready to be counted.

I am woman, hear me roar.

of you

I want to add my voice to this. I can echo what some posters are saying - I am not as eloquent as some if you, I don't have an in depth knowledge of the issues involved - however I have lurked on all the relevant threads and MN has opened my eyes to so many truths.
I am Spartacus.

I used to be a non-Spartacus. Once the sexism of gender ideology was pointed out, I couldn't unsee it.

Having female biology increasingly hampers me as I go through life. As a young woman I thought that it would be downhill all the way from puberty onwards.

Sex matters. It is not the same as gender.

Still Spartacus.

SeahorsesAREhorses · 21/06/2018 06:15

I recognise biological sex.

I think lesbians are entitled to same sex relationships without harassment.

No child is born in the wrong body, no body needs fixing.

Sex based protections were hard won and are much needed. Women suffer in countries where they don't exist.

I want to get rid of sexist stereotypes so both sexes can wear what they like.

I'm Spartacus.

Still an adult human female, still Spartacus

I know!

Thanks thebewilderness. That NHS page makes for grim reading.

thebewilderness · 21/06/2018 05:31

Here is the latest on it. They want people to tell their doctor so they can be referred to a gender clinic for treatment.

thebewilderness · 21/06/2018 05:24

Just since Monday it is a medical condition.
I expect they will be denying counseling and mental health treatment to people on the basis of it being a medical condition that can be treated with drugs and surgery.

pinkgirl1234 · 21/06/2018 05:18

So sorry about my last post everyone! I was mid post and was taken by surprise by stinky little Oberon!

Something sensible now - I read recently that the WHO no longer classify gender dysphoria as a mental disease. They have renamed it gender incongruence. Well, according to the Mail anyway. I haven't seen anything on here about it although I can't keep up with it all.

I am Spartacus, I think that teaching children that they can change sex is totally wrong and leads to child abuse.

pinkgirl1234 · 21/06/2018 04:37

Ok, just googled "nerf darts" - still don't see the relevance. Seems a bit, well, lame actually.

Oh good grief, the kitten lying on my lap has just done the stinkiest fart! Now my posting about that is childish and silly. Grin

pinkgirl1234 · 21/06/2018 04:14

Calling others childish and silly while talking about "nerf darts" (whatever they are)...righto. Hmm

womanformallyknownaswoman · 21/06/2018 04:09

Concern trolling is the regular m.o. here from those wanting attention who like to trash women's rights and their spaces - it says more about them that they have the compulsion to engage in those tactics - they know no limits, getting off on women's distress - there's a lot of them around - pretty untoward behaviour

I am Sparta-patroll

Happy Spartacus Wednesday early Thursday morning here on Mumsnet where the nightly troll invasion continues.

Pacers · 20/06/2018 19:21

I have been reading here for a long time, but have joined to add my voice.

Quietly Spartacusing about my daily business in gratitude to the excellent women here who helped open my eyes.

I am Spartacus.

stealthsquirrelnutkin · 20/06/2018 19:15

I am Spartacus.
Sex is decided at conception and cannot be changed.
Women and girls must be allowed to set boundaries, and those boundaries must be respected.
Men must not be allowed to identify their way into the sex segregated spaces that have been created for the protection of females.
Lesbians do not do dick!

I'm Spartacus. Delurked fully and totally supporting the Spartacus movement.
