Solidarity in Aldi today!

Fantastic @JaneyHenderson

What a great story - thanks for sharing. Solidarity, sister!

I am surprised to see certain posters who, elsewhere on MN, give the impression of knowing absolutely everything about everything, yet express naive bafflement about this topic. It is disconcerting.

Aha, that one a made sense, thank you!
"dogwhistle
In politics, to make an innocuous statement which is designed to trigger previously indoctrinated bigotry & hatred without being recognized by outsiders for bigotry or hateful speech."
For anyone else like me but too scared to look stupid by asking.

So you gave up? You could add any of the following to your search and get an informative result: phrase, trans, feminism,

or even the tragically complex search... "what is a dog whistle"

Never mind, I have found a political definition which I'm guessing is what was being referenced in the OP, however I'm not sure I understand it in the context it was used. Another few years reading on these boaand I may begin to have a clue what all the references mean!

Dog whistle is a phrase that entered the political lexicon from the observation that dogs and humans have different hearing ranges, and so you can make a noise that a dog will hear, but humans can't.

*for whom.

There seem to be an awful lot of posters on this thread for which google isn't working today or, who would rather ask "what's GC" multiple times when it would be easier and quicker for them just to RTFT dog whistle

When I first started looking into this subject, I think I assumed that transgenderism had some sort of basis in science. I was suffering from cognitive dissonance in that I firmly believed that sex stereotypes were silly and socially constructed, yet I also believed that there was probably some sort of basis for a male brain ending up in a female body and vice versa.

When I started digging deeper, I realised that there is no science underpinning this ideology. From what I understand, male and female brains have certain characteristics. On average a male brain may display certain characteristics more often than female brains and vice versa. However, it's a bit like being told that you are about to meet a 6 foot tall person. Going by the law of averages, that 6 foot tall person is likely to be male - however, not all 6 foot people are male and not all 5 foot people are female. It is the same with brains.

Questions to consider:

What is a woman if not an adult human female (female being the sex that produces large gametes)?

What do all women and transwomen (ie mtf transitioners) have in common that they do not have in common with any men or transmen (ftm transitioners)?

Not one trans rights activist (TRA) who visits this board has ever been able to give a straight answer to either of these questions.

I encourage all newcomers to reflect on these questions, to read the threads and links posted, and to have a think about why 'woman = adult human female' is considered to be so offensive.

Well everyone loves a compliment. I try to always comment when I see things I like.

But it's even better when it's also showing solidarity for a political cause. So many would not have the nerve to make a stand and it's marvellous to have it acknowledged.

I find it hard to believe that VivienneMary doesn't know what GC stabds for when she's so often to be seen popping up to argue with GC posters if a thread appears on another Mumsnet board.

I have the "fuck kind" tshirt from Standing for Women, in honour of Sweary Godmother.

Yes I noticed that on Kellie's video. Trans rights activists been at it again as they don't like the truth and they are determined to silence women. Their actions bring even more publicity to this madness though.

Fact: Woman: Adult human female. An uncomfortable truth for them that it will never be possible to change.

I'm a teacher and the phrase 'I don't get it' is banned in my classrooms. Students are only allowed to ask questions which elicit a clearer understanding of the topic so, 'please explain what X means'.

I got a hug from another woman at a gig at Leeds student union in 2019, because she recognised my 'Adult Human Female' hoody.
Very pleased to say that my DD (14) has nicked off with it now.
I'm openly GC at work in the NHS and don't desperately need my job enough to worry about it. Appreciate am in a fortunate position though.

A few posters asked & my DH has delivered:

He's another one who is outraged on the unfairness of males playing against women in sport, particularly as we have a sporty DD

Haven't rtft so it may have already been said but this is really quite unhelpful. Why not just explain in a few words. It doesn't take much

Google is your friend here. Maybe also Google 'sealion' while you're at it.

Kitchenfairy you look fabulous in that T-shirt! I don't fit in T-shirt's- it will have to be bags and pens for me!

• noun an adult who was assigned male at birth but whose gender identity is female*

They could simplify that to ' adult male with feminine gender identity'
That might fit.

I don’t get it? 🤷‍♀️
