The FWR Magdelen Berns memorial awards for Feminism 2019 *Title edited at OP's request*

jamroll good call.

This is wonderful. What a tonic.
There's no reason this couldn't be a zero (well, minimal) cost online/digital award or acknowledgement thing you know. A little boost for the women, men, girls and boys who put themselves on the line for the rest of us. There's no reason we couldn't find a way of giving them all a little ♥️ of appreciation.

Charlie, Thomasin - think they've been mentioned but they really touched my heart this past year. Outstanding bravery.

The doctors and psychs from Tavistock who spoke out.

Joanna Cherry. Joan McAlpine. Victoria Hood. Ruth Maguire. James Dornan. Alison Moyet. Marc Almond. Daley Thompson. LGB Alliance. Simon Fanshawe. Bev Jackson. Rose of Dawn. Fionne. Gina Davidson. Mandy Rhodes. James Kirkup. Graham Linehan. Emily Maitlis. Emma Barnett. Hadley Freeman. Julie fucking Bindel. Lucy Hunter Blackburn. Kath Murray. Lisa Mackenzie. Susan Smith. Danielle Waterman. Rupert Cox. Emma Hilton. JCJ. Neale Hanvey. Karen Ingala Smith. Jean Hatchet. Maya Forstater. Anya Palmer. Harry Miller.

The organisers of all the party Women's Pledges.

International friends like Ani O'Brien, goinglikeelsie, Anna Slatz, Meghan Murphy, GNC centric, Andreia Noble

Podcasters like Benjamin Boyce. What an effort to examine the issues.

The various Lesbian groups who put themselves in the firing line this year. Lesbian Strength springs to mind.

WPUK. ForWomenScot. FPW. Women & Girls Scot.

Almost too many to think of or mention. This is good. Great, even. This is progress.

There needs to be an I Am Spartacus award.

Drs the Making mothers proud award?

Just so many amazing women to choose from I want there to be lots of categories!

Maya, Nic, Sharron, Martina, Janice, Jean, Joanna, Julie, Emma, Kathleen.... I could go on and on and on

No, but he needs a Boys section!

What a fantastic thread! Has anyone nominated the Scottish teen who got expelled for stating there are only two sexes?

So many wonderful women mentioned. Would also like it if we could do a quick shout out for all the invisible women, the lurkers who might be too scared to post, the women behind the scenes who organise the meetings/ logistics/ venues/ women’s safety, every woman who donates what she can to feminist causes or shares a petition, etc.

I really am in awe of all of you.

Fiona Broadfoot. She spoke at Filia and reduced me to tears. A brave fearless woman.

Allison Bailey for being a founder member of LGB Alliance and the hassle she is receiving as a result.

Dare I mention I am Spartacus??

Can we add the women of the SNP who've been standing up to the absolute steamroller that's being aimed at Scotland? It's easier to push this stuff through in a smaller country and their backbone is very much needed.

Helen Steel. Let's not forget Helen. The most stalwart woman in Britain.

I know she's been mentioned already, but Nic Williams, for her absolute laser like focus during the GRA consultation. she got me campaigning and i am really fucking lazy

I reckon we owe a bit part of the 'hang on a minute' that many people are experiencing now to her

How could anyone choose between all you brilliant people?

Sonia Poulton and Lisa Muggeridge for their videos

Jean Hachett for finding out who is funding the LibDems today,

I still think Posie Parker should be given the Turner Prize.

FoodofBeetles who gave us the scientific data.

And everyone on this FWR page who have educated us and introduced us to many sources of information.

So many awesome women on here.

I miss Bewilderness. The Rules are so true and thanks to her I find them so much clearer to see.

The Leeds Spinners and Cllr Sarah Field for the banners, her speech and getting WPUK into Leeds Civic Hall.

Just adding special mentions for the black GC women and intersex GC women of Twitter (sorry rubbish at remembering handles). Both groups get singled out for a lot of crap but yet they persevere.

So many lost...Bewilderness, Orchid, LastGirl, Posie, Spont, and many, many more. All gone for telling the truth. 😖

Oh yes a special Award for anyfucker And bewilderness.

Have we said PeachYoghurt yet?

I assume Jean Hatchet has been mentioned; extra kudos for this tweet:

twitter.com/jeanhatchet/status/1202625641360871424?s=21

Sarah Phillimore does sterling work in child protection too

Larry hates women.

I nominate The Bewilderness (banned for being too honest) for her wonderfully clarity providing rules.

( AnyFucker - you get an extra award for the most thorough lambasting of a man I have ever seen on Mumsnet. Larry. All those years ago. Please tell me you haven't forgotten that?)

I note whenever Larry joins a thread about trans issues, he is less than supportive of women. Surprise!

ALL the feminists banned from Mumsnet after the introduction of the special rules. ALL win an honorary award.
