I'll have a proper look at this later today. Saw some references to it on Twitter earlier. Sounds like a brilliant idea!

I meant it in a disappointed/horrified way, but did it badly. I decided not to dig myself a hole.

I did see some discussion afterwards and it was very interesting how the GC/RadFem lot didn't supply all the horrific threats that the TRAs use against people they disagree with. Some hilarious comments on whether people were allowed to disagree but still appreciate her work!

Happy birthday JK.

BlackeyedSusan · 09/07/2020 00:33

I would sing, but people tend to run away screaming...

Love this!

@highame

I've just printed mine off but noticed that BBC's person of interest is Megha Mohan whose title is Gender & Identity Correspondent. What does this mean? is there a Women's Correspondent a well? If not is the BBC taking licence payers money and using it in a biased way. Someone help me out please. Shouldn't the title be Sex, Gender and Identity Correspondent?
The Guardian is also a TRA citadel. Julie Bindel has written about TRA and the media: thecritic.co.uk/issues/january-2020/triumph-of-the-trans-lobbyists/

This is brilliant. I've printed mine off. Have envelopes ready to go... now how long will it take me to get to the damned post box?!

This is great. Inspired.

I absolutely love this. The "letters from no-one" idea is so appropriate.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 08/07/2020 18:15

Fab-u-liss.

@CaveMum

highame I doubt it, however I have more respect for the Gender correspondent than the LGBT correspondent Ben Hunte (I think) who pushed the trans agenda at every opportunity.
Yes. I asked him once on Twitter if he would be reporting/condemning the attack on Julie Bindel, but he remained silent funnily enough.
WisestIsShe · 08/07/2020 18:12

This is brilliant, thanks for the link.

HandsOffMyRights · 08/07/2020 18:11

A novel idea!

Happy birthday to JKR snd a special thank you to the woman who gave birth to this legend.

TheHeartbeat · 08/07/2020 18:08

Great idea! Good message too.

A creative and respectful idea - well done Transgender Trend.

Will be printing these off and sending them snail mail. Smile

@ThumbWitchesAbroad

What a great idea!

I sort of feel that the tide is starting to turn, but then I read some of the utter tripe that's still being peddled about and I wonder. And get sad, especially when someone like Mgt At-wood appears to have drunk the kool-aid as well. Of all people!!

Oh no, she hasn't
MiraWard77 · 08/07/2020 16:35

I came across this on Spinster, but popped back here to make sure you'd all seen it too. I've printed my 3, just about to see if I can use the post office app to print postage anonymously.

(Yes, I'm overly-concerned that my job is vulnerable to being accused of hate speech!)

Very clever idea, thank you Transgender Trend

Onthebrink87 · 08/07/2020 16:26

Does anyone have a clicky link? Op's isn't working for me!

I have seen some of the ladies on Twitter talking about mass retweeting her terf wars thread on her birthday too
