Solidarity in Aldi today!

I love the THOUGHT CRIMINAL t-shirt.

God I luffs you lot ❤️

I hate feeling like this, it makes me do cross at myself when so many of you are proper warriors.

I find this so hard. Shame for being afraid to contribute to the resistance for fear of the shame of being labelled a hateful bigot. Shame whatever I do or don't do.

tellme it's good enough that you're on here. Not everyone can take big risks. I am too old to care and risk taking was always part of my life, so it isn't a big deal for me and lots of others. You support, you are valuable

I’ve posted many times before about a conference I went to, where in a workshop in gender, I was subjected to a complete pile-on because I gave my definitions of sex and gender (when asked) and didn’t give the “correct” ones.

It was nerve-wracking and my heart was banging afterwards but I was so pleased to have stood up for what I believe in in a room full of TWAT aficionados.

Because of course, that poster never does. And will tell us they have posted all their discussion points in the past under different names.

Their intentions now seems to fall into the pattern of to chide, sneer and shame women discussing the impacts of the rights of other groups on our rights. from the side line. They seem to never post links or resources or engage in any meaningful way.

What I’d really like is a Sandy Draws Badly T-shirt but I don’t think they exist.

There are many posters new to the debate on this thread > waves < so rather than sneering at those of us pushing back where we can why not engage and debate the reasons why?

Unless you've just got a problem with women not getting in their box?

My GC colleague recently left and we both bought each other a little gift. I got her an AHF badge and she got me a Magdalen Berns t shirt (which I darent wear outside). With my order, I got a load of stickers so have been stealthily plastering them on lampposts. I smile every time I pick my DS up from nursery and see the one I did outside!

I am crying reading this.

I am going to buy a bag, even though I'm very very scared.

If you see me, please smile and thumbs up!!

@highame No, not out of sync at all, we're sharing stories of GC conversations with strangers on this thread

Interesting point about Waitrose, I see Waitrose as full of people my age (40 next month ) with a bit of cash to spare due to their age/job. I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see a few GC women filling their plastic cereal tubs

It does not erase male socialization. We see this with some posters on these threads. That male perspective just doesn’t seem to disappear.

Clarifying MNHQ.
That male perspective just doesn’t seem to disappear with ‘SOME of these male posters.

Of course, there are male posters here who identify as women who understand women’s oppression and they support women.

Whoops, thought thread was only on page 1, so posted without have RTFT. Sorry if this is really out of sync

What is somebody then asks - what if a man has had a medical sex change. What are they?

You can turn the question back to them and ask how they have changed sex? Sex is coded at cellular level and it is not possible. It is possible to cosmetically change parts of the body and to enact minor changes through hormones.

It does not erase male socialization. We see this with some posters on these threads. That male perspective just doesn’t seem to disappear.

It does not change the need women have for protections due to their biology which no male has or needs. So, why do they believe making these changes should allow them to access women’s rights?

I bought some stickers ages ago and put one on a small backpack. Had three women ask me about it and all were very interested and knowledgeable about the subject. That was a few months ago and in Waitrose which seems very woke. Well done Op.

What is somebody then asks - what if a man has had a medical sex change. What are they?

They're transwomen. There's no such thing as a 'sex change' - that is an old fashioned term for an impossibility. It's generally called gender confirmation nowadays. These men have changed to a 'feminine' gender, and most won't want to be called men, but they are still male.

What is somebody then asks - what if a man has had a medical sex change. What are they?

They are a male who has had some surgery.

Agree with everyone - but haven't read enough to be secure in how I answer people IRL

I have a question.

So if I say that I am an adult human female and that is my sex.

What is somebody then asks - what if a man has had a medical sex change. What are they?

3 foldable shopping bags just ordered by this school worker.

She'll explain it to dogs, whistlers and serial name changers. She's a bloody marvel.

Particularly those who whistle for dogs with nothing to offer of substance. It is like they read about dog whistling, but don’t know how to handle what results. Just delivers the ‘bad dog’ lecture while knowing that they themselves are conflicted on some issues and can hear that whistle clearly themselves, they just developed earmuffs telling them they are ‘righteous’ to filter it out.
