Happy International Women's Day!

You would hope people would be honest, but yes, you are correct, some people will feel it is their right to lie about their sex and deceive other people. Tbh I would be very wary of anyone who thought it was OK to do that. What do you think Robin?

Exactly what I was going to post. Thank you. I'm one of those 'butch' (I hate that term) women that Robin referred to earlier: shaved head, Doc Marts kinda thing. I very occasionally get mis-sexed. It's no big deal: I simply speak the truth, state I'm female and carry on.

I would also be interested to hear Robin's view on people lying about this

Happy IWD day!

And thank you to the fantastic posters on this site who have shone sunlight and truth for the benefit of all.

I’m adult human female and determined.

Happy International Fanny Day. Thanks from me for all your information and support.

Adult and human are relatively easy. But as an employer, or a service provider, how is 'female' to be tested, practically?

@JackiFazaki thank you. Love learning about more women and feminists.

Off to wiki her now.

Pffft. Let it trend. It's still not true!

Exactly.

TWAW is trending on twitter today

Pffft. Let it trend. It's still not true!

Do you think if you wrote TWAnW people might miss the n and repeat it?

Happy IWD!

Sadly Twitter is its usual disgusting self, being hijacked by the minority.

I did see this though!

Happy IWD Wimmin 😘

I tried to comment under an article in the Observer, today, but my comments have not even made it through moderation, as innocuous as they were...And I notice many, many deletions. Seems only those women who say acceptable things are allowed to have their comments stand.

Maybe we need a new Women Only International Women’s Day #WOIWD #Just1FuckingDay Seeings as today’s has been thoroughly colonised by the kind, the deluded and... men.

Happy IWD to all women and girls.

Woman = adult human female indeed

Thanks to all who came before us to gain us the rights we have

Thanks to all who are currently fighting to help us KEEP those rights in the face of not only certain trans ideology but also the rise of right wing misogyny in recent years not only in Uk but across the world.

My heartfelt hopes that things will continue to improve for girls and women across the world there is still SO much needs doing.

To the wrongs that need resistance.
To the right that needs assistance.
To the future in the distance.

Loving this is it a quote from someone else or your own @JackiFazaki

to all women who’ve even been temporarily silenced by men or even by other women for fighting for women’s rights

Today I have been:

Busting rape myths elsewhere on sm, promoting IWD, discussing women’s rights and my personal experiences.

I’ve hopefully raised a Dd who won’t tolerate discrimination from anyone and who will stand up for herself and other girls and women. Who won’t tolerate poor treatment from a partner/spouse, who will engage in debate and discussion with others on the many issues involved.

Happy IWD! And I second the contribution of this board to educating me and giving me the words I needed to clarify my position. Adult Human Females united 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Absolutely, the women on here are fantastically intelligent, clearly and calmly analysing the current situation and pointing out what needs to change.

Thanks!

That’s us silly females womening wrongly again.

OMG. You're right T0tallyFuckedUpFamily. I apologise for womaning incorrectly. Forgive me: I'm new to all this, only having been a woman for 53 years (next week).

As you say, I'm sure a male person will be along presently to point the way. I think that you and I could both benefit with a few lessons

Oh, and in my snippiness, I forgot to wish all my fellow women a very lovely IWD

I don't think we can underestimate the importance that this feminist board has played in getting the information out there and educating thousands upon thousands of us. I for one would like to thank you all for my education.

Isn’t it funny NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace when a male sexed person comes on to a woman’s celebration thread to tell us that we’re celebrating females wrongly and the male bodied person is going to tell us how to do it right. That’s us silly females womening wrongly again. 😁

Well, T0tallyFuckedUpFamily, if the thread had started with a celebration of work to advance women's rights

Well, @RobinMoiraWhite, while you're constantly sabotaging our work to advance women's (that would be me by the way: not you) rights, forgive me for slightly struggling to celebrate.

You have no time for me. Likewise, I have no time for you. The tide is turning and you're losing the fight: women will not put up with your shit any longer

Happy IWD to all you adult human females

Thank you for opening my eyes. And thank you to all the brave women who stand up for our sex-based rights and to protect the definition of what a woman is. Woman is not a state of mind, it is a biological reality, and if we cannot have a definition based on reality, the word becomes meaningless.

From an unfeminine, unladylike adult human female who is not very good at 'performing femininity'...

Happy International Women's Day & thank you to all the fabulous women who opened my eyes a couple of years ago, helping me to change my life.

The personal is indeed political & "sisterhood is powerful"
