Need a handhold... Made a stand in a public arena

Hello
I've been lurking here for yrs and made a v public stand against gender ideology today after mulling it over for about a week. I feel sick to my core now and was wondering did anyone else feel similarly or if anyone would be able to pm me for a chat....

It is hard. Flowers

As above: it is only about women.

If others wish to make the claim that caring about women or women having rights is an unacceptable threat in some way then that's their case to make and defend.

I like the advice you've given and will remember it @MrsWooster

I've bought my Hibo Wardere t shirt as a stand. I am of course afraid to wear it outside the house though.

Here's some words from a wise woman:
“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”

Avoid engaging in any and all discussions that feature the word trans. Everything you do (I assume) is for women so keep every comment about women.
“This is about women and girls’ rights”
“but what about...”
“It’s about women and girls, human females, who are disadvantaged by means of their sex.”
“But .... are ......”
“Human females, discriminated therefore protected on the grounds of biology.”
Repeat til it’s necessary to block or walk away.
You are in the right and (I assume) wouldn’t discriminate against trans rights, so hold the line that you are simply, firmly advocating FOR women.

Well done. I was recently called a t**f and transphobe on SM for liking some feminist stuff - I felt totally shaken up and oddly ashamed as well as furious. (Such internalised victim-blaming!) But ultimately I couldn't get away from the conviction that I'd done the right thing. People need to do it! Anyway a big handhold from me. Courage calls to courage everywhere. Flowers
