Some GC great comments on this, and not so much from the transcult.

Is the tide turning?

It's always 'gay men' isn't it, nothing about lesbians.

Reading through the whole thread now.

As soon as I see someone use the word “sisters” in this debate, I’ve now started replacing it with comrades. Fits the same.

To frame being recognised as a woman as some sort of privilege is about as far away from supporting women's rights support as just about anything can be. How one of our female MPs can do this is beyond me. This is MRA talk.

Some excellent responses from high profile women on twitter. Good.

Thank you Angela. PeakTransing the nation one tweet at a time.

Angela threw away any chance of becoming the first female leader of the Labour party.

I'll just throw in here about an indignant tweet I saw yesterday, where someone who describes himself as 'a non-binary femme queer' complained that he was refused access to the women's changing rooms in H&M. Why would any woman want to share a changing room with someone who describes himself like that?

So many people with verified accounts coming out to speak on this now. I would love to see them publicise the consultation before it is too late.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 21/09/2018 09:34

hah! some fabulous replies from some really smart women

what a twonk to post such divisive nonsense

AR grew up on the estate about 10 mins drive from where I live. I know for a fact the people who live there do not believe that TWAW.
Thankfully she isn’t our MP.

It was the usual meaningless drivel with 'unpleasant' and 'offensive' thrown in to shame women, and no substance.

No doubt, she is viewing the carefully worded replies as abuse Hmm

CircumzenithalArc · 21/09/2018 09:27

I hope she reads the replies. She might actually learn something. Heartening to see a few vain attempts by TRAs being shot down brilliantly.

Oh dear, Angela. You messed up!

TerfsUp · 21/09/2018 08:14

Who'da thunk it?

And, Angela? If you are reading this - fuck off with your "sisters" and "gender" bullshit.
