I’ve been reflecting about this a lot recently and I wanted to say that although this trans madness is deeply concerning and a huge threat to women’s rights, I’ve never been so heartened by the courage, intelligence, clarity, supportiveness, persistence, commitment, creativity and I want to say sheer fucking balls, but I know that’s the wrong metaphor to use in this debate ?
When I feel disheartened and defeated I just think of all the truly amazing women putting themselves on the line and it gives me so much strength.
I was in tears today reading about Magdalen Berns having cancer, and how much she’s done to move this debate forward and all the women she’s influenced. About the bravery of ManFriday, about Stickerwoman, PosieParker, DrRadFem, and everyone who’s braved the onslaught of TRAs online and in real life. I feel both humbled and empowered by them and by all of you who have given your time and your energy to fighting this. I’ve done my bit but there is still so much to do. When it seems like everything is against us I just have to remember that we are united and that we have both truth and numbers on our side, every day I see more people waking up to this.
And we will win, we have to.
