Page 2 | Bristol gender critical / radfem groups?

Yeval · 2021-03-14T20:48:41+00:00

I'm based in Bristol and wondering if anyone knows of any gender critical or radfem groups in the area? I think there was a Bristol branch of ReSisters, but their Twitter profile no longer exists. I just need to meet up with some like-minded women...

Looking to do a zoom this coming week, which day is best for you all? early to mid evening.. Best time?
I won't post a link here obviously. But I will in the Signal group, or personally if you DM me your email. Let's get this rolling....

I've just applied to WRN for membership. They responded that they're overwhelmed with applications so it may take some time to get to mine. While frustrating, I'll take that as a good sign 😏
I've been trying to come up with a way we can be easily verified, as I'm aware that some women here are extremely (and rightly) wary of TRA infiltration.
For myself I have enough verified profiles online that can be checked by anyone. So if you want it.. Just DM me and I can point you at them. If anyone knows of any other way this can be achieved, please let me know.

I’m up for this too.

LadyWhipster · 20/06/2023 10:42

We can go for a zoom for sure. Anyone who would like to, please DM me.

hoipolloin · 20/06/2023 08:52

Yes zoom is a much better option…!

LadyWhipster · 19/06/2023 23:17

On a positive note, are you noticing that there are lots of other threads on here being openly critical of gender ideology...and amazingly, no negative responses... so far...

My WRN has an understanding
that women do what they can, when they can - as @oldwomanwhoruns says, they’re all different.

Is this a local Bristol group?

In the meantime, how does everyone feel about a Zoom. It would mean dm-ing your email addresses tho, to keep it invite only.
We could also have a group chat on a properly encrypted msg app, like Signal for instance. But if there's someone else more tech savvie, do suggest better alternatives if you know.

hoipolloin · 19/06/2023 18:25

I’m totally up for a meeting! Not sure where women are based. I’m in Easton. The Thali Cafe is a good option…?

greennugget · 19/06/2023 15:42

A zoom to start would be great! Yeah idk how to screen I guess... But I'm going mad working in the arts!!

All the WRN groups will be slightly different, @Yeval ! We're a tiny group. Do try again, there will be more groups local to you now.

Good to see some response. I shall look into joining WRN but similarly I dont want to feel I have to be 'engaging' with everything on social media.
I hear what you're saying about being careful. But I too would like a less 'formal' interaction with some of you, so I'd like to try...
We could hold a zoom. We could form an encrypted private chat group on one of the platforms and swap contact details there for meeting up for a coffee or a drink. It's all a risk, but f.i., I'll risk it for a Swisket. Any other ideas anyone?
I'm central Bristol and mobile btw.

I'm up for this

I sort of get it. I was added to a group chat on Twitter but the messages were constant and I just couldn't keep up with them so stopped engaging entirely. I didn't have the headspace to sit down at the end of work and sift through it all. I need to be able to do stuff as and when I want/can, and I think they need women who are totally on it all the time. They're doing brilliant stuff, I still follow them all and their social media work is great. It just wasn't quite the group I was looking for.

I did actually join WRN but got kicked out because I wasn't engaging enough with social media campaigns! Totally fair enough.

Really I'd just like to meet some like minded women for social stuff, which will of course include being able to talk freely about gender identity ideology.

That's disappointing. Some people can invest a lot of time, others not so much. Doesn't mean they don't want to keep up with what's going on or meet like minded people and generally add their voice and add to the numbers. I'm sorry this happened.

oldwomanwhoruns · 19/06/2023 07:22

Do join the Women's Rights Network! The branches will be slightly different @Yeval , we certainly have several members who just are not in a position to put their heads above the parapet. So not everyone can be activists!

Our group meet up in person, and we talk about absolutely everything, not just the latest campaign. We are all now firm friends.

Did I mention cake?

I don’t know about this thread specifically but I do know there are a bunch of TRAs - I call them the Misogynist Monitors - who make it their business to keep an eye on this board. Anything they don’t like gets reported or sometimes screenshotted on Twitter.

You just don’t know, that’s the thing.

LadyWhipster · 18/06/2023 23:45

EmpressWitchDoesntBurn · 17/06/2023 22:26

Best of luck all of you but do be careful. We know the TRAs are watching.

Hi Empress :) Do you mean you know they've been following this thread?...Have you had trouble with them already? (Forgive me if I seem naive or uninformed here...I've only recently 'peaked' lol)

WRN is a really good idea, and they’re a lot bigger now than they would have been when this thread started.

Agree with EmpressWitchDoesntBurn.
People aren't always who they say they are on here.
If you're interested in other local women, may I suggest getting in touch with the Women's Rights Network? They're very on the ball and will have a call with prospective joiners before admitting so its much harder for TRAs to hijack any meeting in bad faith.
