I thought it would be a good resource to pull together all the ways women are being silenced. (This might be a long thread, sadly).

What examples do you know about?

I'll start...

Scientist Lisa Littman of the Department of Behavioural and Social Sciences, Brown University, published her study this month.

Rapid-onset gender dysphoria in adolescents and young adults: A study of parental reports

Her own university have retracted their press release promoting this study because of pressure from Trans Activists.

Complaints to mumsnet

Complaints to advertisers

Creation of a culture of fear.

Literally silencing them by banging pans outside a meeting so that abuse survivors can't be heard.

Doxxing and complaints to employers

Refusal of media interviews to sabotage stories.

Mass complaints to media outlets. Mass. Mass complaints.

Media workshops with IPSO, leading editorisl figures, minor editorial figures, to create context that women are not stakeholders/trans are most oppressed etc.

Access to senior editorial figures that is refused to women

Women need to start raising money and using the courts and any other legal methods to counter this. It there is a rubbish consultation, judicially review it, threats of violence, report to the police, bring private prosecutions if necessary, sue for libel, research grant stopped, sue for discrimination if appropriate. All very stressful, expensive and time consuming, but we are left with no alternative I think.

Use of the words and slogan TWAW #nodebate which is a complete discussion stopper online and used in real life. Users knowingly say it to stop GC feminists from getting to the nitty gritty/crux of the argument which focuses on biology.

The threat of physical violence to women meeting to discuss their own issues. Threats to venues which host such meetings.

That threat of prosecution - going for those women named is 100% aimed at every one of us.

As in refusing to engage with concerned women.

Ereshkigal · 30/08/2018 19:31

The refusal to even engage with and defend their mealy mouthed statements that there are no safeguarding concerns with trans centred policies which do not permit children a space away from the opposite sex:

NSPCC, Girl Guiding

The threat of prosecution. Used against Posie Parker, Linda Bellos and Venice Allen.
