Right there in their Twitter bio @freedomprogramm

Followed it up with this tweet (screenshot). Note the first response is someone doing that passive-aggressive faux naive thing “Um, I’m confused, are you being transphobic?”

Someone also replied “So you don’t help trans women?” Jeez, can you imagine how many trans women find themselves in abusive relationships and unable to defend themselves against male violence? If such trans woman even exist, what would the percentage be in relation to women in the same predicament? 99.999% vs. 0.001% trans women?

Anyway - glad to see a women’s organisation standing up for women and the dictionary definition of woman.

The Freedom Programme's stance is marvellous - they give zero fucks, which I applaud.

I'd very much like to contribute to their coffers, but the last time I looked at their website I couldn't say a way to do this...maybe I missed something obvious and someone on these boards might know how.

That tweet put me in mind of this quote from a gay male FB group who wanted to keep the group male only and exclude females identifying as men..

Seems a bit too good to be true
And no blue tick? Sorry, everything makes me very suspicious!

"we won't be bullied. Get over it or don't follow us"

So pleased to see this. No equivocation, basically a fuck off, how refreshing.

Oops, sorry, I see that's what your title was referring to, OP!

Really impressed to see this - more organisations need balls like this. So to speak.
