I've been thinking about this a lot recently as I truly believe that the tide is turning and the world is waking up to this madness (extra thanks for the additional sunlight from Ben Button!). If it wasn't for the push back on this from some brilliant women, many of us would not be aware of the situation and gawd knows where we would be now (looking at some of the other countries with self ID for example). So I just want to say thank you to the wonderful women on here who spoke out early and at a great cost to many of them. You have enabled me to hold my head up high when the shit hits the fan and others will be denying they knew of the problems this would cause. Or were actively part of it.

When I first became aware of some of the issues I didn't really know where to find out more.
I saw a comment in The Guardian - back in the days when it had comments - saying something like "Mumsnet is a cesspit of transphobia". That didn't seem likely, so I popped over to have a look.

Thanks to everyone who has spoken about these things. I've learned a lot.

I agree. I've learned so much from FWR over the years I've been (mostly) lurking and occasionally contributing.

Thanks is also due to @JustineMumsnet and @MNHQ for continuing to host the discussions when it would have been so much easier not to.

More guts than Millwall Flowers

A big thank you from me too. I've been on and off the board for a few years (different names) and I'm always inspired by the intelligent, calm and authoritative takes on here. They've really helped me formulate my arguments in the real world and broadened my feminist reading list massively!

Thank you from me, too - to all the women here and the many who have passed through, posted, educated, informed and debated. You are a formidable and absolutely amazing bunch. If you were a political party, I'd vote for you in a heartbeat. x

Me too. Like many of us, I'm politically homeless at the moment.

I definitely became aware of the issue from this board. Thank you from me too!
