Bunbury has a question

These enquiries are both tedious and disingenuous and they are probably trolling for screenshots from those nasty women.

Fuck 'em.

Yes. Gosh, aren't they just the most tedious ever.
Anyone would think all of the problems women face have been solved, and women's rights are the most secure rights.

I got an email yesterday from yet another well known ex women's rights charity. They used to comment on stuff like FGM.
But now apparently all problems are ours to solve, you name it. Climate change? Women's things. The economy? Women's things. Ecology? Women's things. Plus, they are now apparently 'inclusive'.

Obviously us hideous women just aren't feministing correctly.

I cannot believe the sincerity of anyone who would say "I'm largely on board with you lot but isn't Caitlyn Jenner simply marvellous!"

Its always the same lately gosh why are you all so mean be NICE! 🤷‍♀️ your anti trans! No I'm pro women according to them there is no difference 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

I swear resists post wasnt there just now!

TBH the more 'gosh, just why are you so mean' questions we get, the more chances there are of explaining the real issues with TRA ideology. We dont hate trans people, we support, and enforce,womens boundaries and sex based rights. Massive difference

I welcome them. Most people aren't aware of the issues in my experience and the tide is beginning to turn.

I feel that opposition to self ID policies is based upon very solid ground. The GC approach is pro-female and pro-child safeguarding, not anti-trans. The more opportunities to demonstrate this the better.

before vanishing in a puff of green smoke

My only request is that they please leave the little dog(s) alone.

I think our dear Germain would point out that if a person goes from "for am but a mere curious young girl unsure of how to understand these complicated things" to "hail penis you old hags" in less than a day then perhaps the person in question may not be entirely sincere.

Is true that lots of people aren't aware - was talking about this to a couple of female colleagues the other day.

They're smart, educated, sensible but hadn't heard about prisons or sports or any of it so still largely on the 'be kind' side. Didn't care particularly about a few male born people skewing the data, didn't care about sport.

Did, however, get the idea about the world being male by default so I pointed them in the direction of Caroline Criado Perez as a starter. They'll get there.

It's tedious, but then again maybe worth it for the Scooby-Doo like unveiling as faux questioners shout LONG LIVE THE PENIS and generously distribute misogynistic insults before vanishing in a puff of green smoke.

I'm just waiting to be called a bitter old hag again

I've noticed that too, ready with the screen shot button I'm sure. It's annoying but I do like to see how long it takes before the mask slips. I think they are have been provoked by newsnight.

I am sure that some are genuine. I am equally sure that some are here transphobe-hunting.

I had been thinking exactly the same thing.

I think perhaps a mix. It's easy to be astonished at how little awareness there is of these issues. Some faux, some genuine, is my guess.

Oh yes.

The tide must be on the turn, and the weekend must be underway.

Certainly seem to be a glut of them. I find them a bit of a distraction
