Beating yourself up. You, Venice and Julia have conquered the market. No other ‘feminist’ has managed this. How amazing are you all. Posie, you have managed so much by presenting a truth that a women is an adult human female that is scientifically proven has scared everyone. How amazing are you.
I await my t shirt with this fact. I will not be able to wear it as I have a child/teen, nearly an adult who thinks they are female. Your t shirt will go into a drawer but I know it’s there reminding me, when I am questioning myself for not affirming my child’s thought, that my son can not be female.
Keep up your fight. Stop listening to others who are jealous of your basic campaign and who try to intellectualise it with academic talk, when the simple truth gets the job done.
Stand up for us parents. No one else is. Stand up for our daughters and for our sons too. The parents voice needs heard. Focus on this. It does not matter to parents where you are aligned politically. But you know this. Keep doing what you are doing and fight for me because I’m not brave enough to stand up

We have far more impact being voices from different quarters, it shows how widespread the support is for women's rights and will connect with more people to bring them on board.

Posie and others are raising the popular awareness needed to in turn create the space for lawmakers to be forced listen to "experts" and "academics".

One can't succeed without the other.

I'm with Popchyk on this. The many women standing up have different strengths and all should be applauded.

We need the common sense opinions and campaigning, but also we need the academics who can criticize the theory which is saying that it is possible to be born in the wrong body, or that biological sex doesn't exist, or claiming that single sex spaces are not needed. We need campaigners who know the law, or biology, or neuroscience, or obscure parts of philosophy and queer theory who can present arguments and formal evidence.

We don't all agree with each other, but that's fine. We share some common goals. Remember it is the stated aim of some trans rights activists to cause splits in the gender critical movement against them. Really: we shouldn't let them do that. We are making progress together.

I appreciate the fact that she's not over-intellectualising it. There's a place for many different strands of argument, and that definitely includes hers imo.

I have huge admiration for all of the women standing up on this.

Posie, Julia, Venice, Linda, Kathleen, Rosa, Janice T, Julie B, Karen I-S, Nic Williams to name just a few.

And loads more who I don't have time to put down.

All of them have pushed this issue right into the heart of mainstream politics, at considerable personal cost. I salute them all.

As a parent of GNC kids I’m with you, Sunshine. This is about my children and I could not be happier with the team I’ve got on their side.

These women did nothing wrong.

We are at war, and our children are the cannon fodder. We must fight the gender cult, not each other. Anyone who doesn't understand this needs to rethink their behaviour.

Big thanks to Posie, Venice and Julia. You are appreciated. My heart is broken but you are giving me hope.
