You need to get a grip.

You need to look up "analogy" in a dictionary. As well as a number of other words in common usage, no doubt.

That didn't work forwomen.scot/03/04/2021/women-wont-wheesht/

And yet, people frequently do feel free to speak for half of society. "Mixed sex hospital wards are great", they say glibly, speaking on behalf of me, my mother, and every woman in the country, without ever pondering that maybe they don't have the right to give away other people's rights.

Indeed.

I did my first slate (Debate is not hate) a couple of weeks ago and it's still where I left it which I'm pleased about.

Do you really think that “half of society” agree with the OPs views on this issue?

No, I think the vast majority is society understand perfectly well that you can't change sex and women are adult female humans, and adult human males are not.

The 'misogynistic monitors' who watch the FWR are becoming more and more desperate to stop women talking. It's not working.

And if your post gets deleted, that will confirm their desperation!

“I’m half-expecting to come home one day and find a female trans activist in my house, lending out the contents of my bookcase to passers-by in the street!”

You need to get a grip.

I was starting to feel quite despondent about the whole situation but a few things recently have made me think the tide is turning - the University of Essex report, EHRC not renewing their membership of Stonewall and the incredulous reaction Kirkcaldy Police got to their 'controversial stickers' tweet.

I firmly believe the tide is turning and that a dying regime is doubling down because they realise it too. The 'misogynistic monitors' who watch the FWR are becoming more and more desperate to stop women talking. It's not working.

Well, www.adulthumanfemale.store/ is a good place to start.

Tell me more about stickering.
I need a new hobby.

You can’t speak for half of society. My feelings aren’t hurt. Don’t speak for me or for anyone else thank you very much.

Maybe you belong to the other half then? I believe this is how maths works.

Stickering is very cathartic and so is donating to crowdfunders.

Way to miss the point

I didn't see your original thread, but one thing I find helpful to destress is angry crochet.

It's good to always bear in mind one's limitations and remember that this is a huge subject encompassing many areas - nobody knows all of it, nor could they. Anyway, you can read up on various parts of the issue, or if there are ones that particularly interest you, focus on just a few strands.

Asking questions is really important - we should all be asking lots of questions on topics of safeguarding, children's health, women's safety, women's rights, the law, policy, media representation, sexism, lobbying, etc. So even just saying 'we need to talk' or asking people for answers on some of the questions raised is ENORMOUSLY important.

We have successfully swept away the 'no debate' stance, which stood for years. It's still hard to raise the issues (witness Scottish police calling a woman in for questioning this week) but the more women who say they care about women's rights, the harder it is for them to try and pick off anyone mentioning 'feminism' or 'sex based rights' (both of these phrases have been called 'dog whistle transphobia', see Patrick Harvie in the Scottish parliament, for example).

It should tell you something that anyone referring to women or feminism or females or 'sex' is called transphobic.

There is no way you will come across as ignorant! I worried initially about writing in and getting my thoughts across but we're not all academics with years of experience, just write from the heart. I'm sure MPs prefer brief points rather than essays anyway. You don't need any special education or writing skills to show you care about women and children.

Spend some time reading threads here, honestly there is no perfect way to approach this.

If you haven't found it yet look up the break it down for me thread and Google search with Mumsnet for pretty much any topic you want to learn about. It's all here.

(The public consultations have published responses which can be a good into as well.)

Sorry to hear your thread got deleted OP.

Best thing I can advise is to take action, whether that be writing to your MP, stickering, writing to your school if you have kids, donate to crowdfunders, go to speakers corner with Standing for Women and complain to the BBC, The Guardian, or any company throwing women under the bus. There are no shortage of reasons to complain I find I just don't have the time! More can be found at Trangender Trend, Safe Schools Alliance, LGB Alliance, Sex Matters, Filia, etc.

Doing something has helped me to feel far less bleak about the situation and it is also good to find people in real life to talk to if you can. Check out ReSisters.

There are other threads on action you can take so do search for those as this thread will probably go too due to TAAT as PPs have pointed out.
