Has anone tried wearing one of Posie's t-shirts out and about? I just saw them and watched her YouTube video Grin. Very interested to get and wear one.. but then a part of me is scared and thinking I might just wear it around the house, which would defeat the point.

What am I scared of.. being approached in an aggressive way, shouted at in front of others in public, potentially even being physically grabbed or attacked. but these are just perceptions, as I haven't anything to base the fears on. So, unreasonable. I have a 5 year old daughter and wouldn't want her to see any of that, that is a part of it.

It is the DICTIONARY DEFINITION of woman / women. So in no way wrong, hateful, hostile.. and yet I just googled 'Posie adult human female' and the first thing that came up is the billboard that was taken down. All it did was state a fact.

Has anyone tried wearing one?

For context I live in a small sized Midlands town, not a city.

Still waiting for mine. Looking forward to testing this out. We should see how far we can travel with our T-shirts.

I get some 'tut' type looks, some minor eyerolling, and a few 'I'm so disappointed to see you wearing that' type looks when I wear my tshirts and feminist symbol jewelry.

All from men, some of them men I used to believe were nice, and I no longer have any fucks to give.

I live in a small town and have had no harassment while wearing mine
