Just outed myself as gender critical on Facebook

The silent majority. Explains why the Brexit polls got it so wrong.

If they were truly woke they would have responded or unfriended you.

My fb friends are few as I don’t tend to use fb for anything other than dog related stuff. However, I did do a Consultation post critical of self Id. Absolute and utter silence.

Have finally gone full GC on FB. Women have been threatened and doxxed for this and I’m worrying about losing friends? Anyone who thinks women should hand over our hard earned rights to be “nice” is no friend to me, I have come to realise.
The deafening silence is confirming my suspicions that most people are not fooled by the TRA movement, they are just afraid to say so.

Most rabid TRA

Fully GC on FB using my own name. Not many comments/likes but they have all been positive and the FPFW stuff has been shared. The Karen White case has been an absolute gift in arguing our case so I use that as an example. No one but the lost rabid TRA can argue against that.

Wish I still had Facebook. I've been putting GC things as my WhatsApp status even though I don't know how that actually works or what it does. It's always the same handful of people who see it, but they never say anything.

I have been quietly liking and sharing a few things for a month or so now. Never get more than one or two ‘likes’ or comments. I have a couple of old uni friends who I have expected to try and call me out or defriend me, but not yet. They used to post a lot of pro-trans stuff and that seems to have stopped though, so maybe they are coming onside.

On Friday i finally broached the subject with my best friend, suprise suprise, whilst she didn't know anything about the consultation she was adamant transwomen are NOT women and when I told her about self id she was shocked and concerned.

I do need to send the consultation link to another friend who has been at the sharp end of the transwomen in sport side of things.

Result...my Facebook posts led to a long phone call with a male friend whose basic response was “what the fuck”...and he’s emailed all his friends to tell them!!!

I am starting by sharing this petition as I think it is pretty uncontrovercial.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/228767

Will see if I get any comments.

Just put it on my facebook....still trying to get the nerve to email people directly :-(

Thanks for that link. Long time lurker here and have just shared it on fb. Although I imagine most of my fb friends will eye roll and scroll past

Milliband - sorry!

Thank you TheSteveMillerBand - that's the one. I think there's a little bit of introductory blurb with the original post that would have put the whole thing in context whereas the YouTube version doesn't unfortunately. I may just bite the bullet and do it anyway

I’ve been open about being gc with dh & friends for years, but I think my life/world is probably quite small compared to most, I take care of disabled children and don’t do any social media bar a rare post here or tweet and avoid facebook etc so no social media in my name (for reasons that have nothing to do with this). I don’t work or have extended family and I don’t deal with the wide range of people that I’m sure many women do. Signing my real name on petitions is easy for me, or at least it feels that way currently. I also don’t do anything bar singing petitions or filling in the consultation and being straight forward if it comes up in conversation in real life, which is rare. I imagine it must be very very different for women who are worrying about careers or differently minded friends and family.

Sorry very long winded point, but I’ve not had any back lash of any sort and most agree even if it’s not a deep discussion. But like I say I have a very small bubble currently.

Hope that makes sense,sorry waffling!

I’ve been sharing Fair Play for Women, Standing for Women, A Woman’s Place and Posie Parker posts on Facebook
I also linked the Karen White case and the Jacinta Brooks case, with photos
I haven’t had any comments but plenty of 👍😡 and more shares.
Tbh I’m not at all bothered about whether any one disagrees with me. I’m retired now so I don’t have an employer to worry about.
I’ve also started tweeting and liking GC tweets.

Can someone tell me if you share a post on Facebook - do your friends just see the original post or do they see the comments others have done on the original? I'm itching to post the very short video FPFW have issued today but I'm put off by some of the negative "you're all transphobic" posts underneath. If it gets posted 'clean' so to speak I shall share forthwith.

I've found it's quite liberating to not give a fuck!

I'm 'known' for the occasional soapbox rant generally, but I usually try to temper the trans stuff a wee bit.
I've quite a diverse range of friends, so often get pushback on some subjects (brexit & Politics for eg) - i don't have an echo chamber at all.

Now I've gone all out & spectacularly couldn't give a toss if people get shitty.
(They haven't though so far...)

I've been out on Facebook for a while now & mostly get tumbleweed for GC stuff. Just occasionally though someone will like or share, or say they've been reading it & agree, & it never seems the people I expect!

Me too OP, shared Posie Parker noun projections and shared the GRA link. Two likes but no backlash so far. Was cautious as I have a new job but I've not put anything on Twitter as I'm connected to work there. I figured I'm entitled to an opinion regardless and I'm live and let live kinda person with trans or whoever - just as long as we keep safeguarding for women and children.

You've inspired me to do the same. Thank you!

I've just put something on my FB page today too. I've had mostly positive responses, but an awful lot of 'silence' too....
