What is the equivalent of mumsnet for the United states?

Hi, OP! I'm also in Texas. MN is unmatched in the US. If it hasn't already been mentioned, you might want to look at efforts by WOLF: www.womensliberationfront.org.

Also, apparently a Democratic Texas legislator testified in committee to there being six sexes last week. It's almost as if the Democrats don't want to turn Texas blue (or even purple): www.google.com/amp/s/amp.thepostmillennial.com/theres-six-biological-sexes-not-two-says-texas-rep-talarico.

What did the OP say that was transphobic??

Try the Republican party or the Christian evangelical movement. You will find they share the same views as most members of this forum on trans people and sex workers

Why are you such an angry and bitter person?

Thankfully the moderators are very reliable.

Men I think tend to think it's just mummies nattering and leave us to it and those that don't tend to get short shrift when they do troll and find out that the mummies nattering shtick is just a screen for a vicious nest of vipers and a feminist radicalisation portal grin

Absolutely this There are still a few trolls that pop up, but when they do, the vipers go for them with the kind of ferocity that few can withstand

I believe some parts of the Christian Right are big funders of certain trans groups

I’m not sure whether this is a case of ignorance combined with regurgitation of what you’ve read on social media, or a deliberate attempt to slur Christians. Please enlighten us. Which parts of the ‘Christian Right’ are big funders of trans groups? The same bible-believing Christian Right that believes God is infallible? How would that work then? An infallible God who gives people the wrong bodies? It doesn’t compute.

Merftastic

Worthy of its own thread I reckon Merf, with a very obvious title, if you're up for it?

I’m in the US now (originally UK) and Mumsnet is still my ‘go to’ board. It’s the only place I’ve found on ‘tinternet that is truly female friendly. Aside from the odd incomer. Also the rubbish that we a Republican/Christian fundamentalists is exactly that.
We’re more likely to be like the fabulous Julie Bindle, but to be honest the femanist here are from all walks of life, and all political leanings. But we all know what a woman is, as we all came out of one. It’s amazing how becoming a mother can radicalize women. I blame the hormones 😊

Ah yes. merf forgot that came out recently.

So shizuku can you let us know about this article that Merf has linked up?

Hmm, are you saying that the right wing in the US don't agree with you on issues like banning puberty blockers, or trans women in female spaces?

Hmm are you saying that trans groups have not been funded by right wing groups, groups who also fund evangelical Christian groups and Trump donors?

@Shizuku

People in glass houses and all that...

Shall we start discussing the actual people we find linked to our threads as 'experts'.

Should read

Shall we start discussing the actual people we find linked to our threads as 'experts' by people pushing this agenda that feminists are right wing. Such as this poster.

Excellent. Here we go with the right wing and evangelical religion tie in again.

Next they'll start with the white supremacist b0llix...have heard that one was doing the rounds on twitter

Excellent. Here we go with the right wing and evangelical religion tie in again.

Shall we start discussing the actual people we find linked to our threads as 'experts'.

Let's see. There has been a couple of links to an influencer as an appeal to authority where the influencer was heavily involved in sexually harassing a woman on line earlier this year. Plus, around IWD that person mocked women for their toilet habits. Imagine the mindset of the person who does that?

Shall we go on? I have plenty of more examples with evidence. Not just unfounded trope that keeps being rolled out like 'right wing' or whatever.

Hmm, are you saying that because I agree with another person on one or two things I inevitably agree with them on everything, and for the same reasons? That’s just daft.

Oh no - people agreeing that the world is round and the sky is blue?
They must all therefore be right wing bigots.
Have I got that right Shizuku as it sounds a bit flawed to me?

Hmm, are you saying that the right wing in the US don't agree with you on issues like banning puberty blockers, or trans women in female spaces?

Don't have a recommendation as I've been living in the UK for years, but have fond memories of Texas!

Also have never voted Republican in my life

Plenty of trolls here OP as has been usefully demonstrated

I know a few posters from the US and Australia here. You are most welcome to stick around but do read the guidelines and post within them so to not get banned.

Another forum to try is the Standing for Women forum as Kellie-Jay now has an advisory role with WOLF I think it is and has some US connections.

Try the Republican party or the Christian evangelical movement. You will find they share the same views as most members of this forum on trans people and sex workers.

Don't think the left leaning women of FWR would have much in common with them but I believe some parts of the Christian Right are big funders of certain trans groups.

There are certain posters who do their best to troll and I used to see their names pop up and think 'oh well, there goes another thread' but over the last few weeks particularly, the regular feminist posters on FWR have been on fire and have absolutely obliterated their inane remarks!

In terms of American sites, I have been on Lipstick Alley and the debate on there is robust - there seems to be a lot more latitude on what they are allowed to say by moderators.
