The tide has turned in the lesbian capital of the UK

There's no need for the faux-confusion. Its a bunch of fictional / fairytale characters, both stereotypically good (fairies, knights etc) and bad (ogres, goblins etc) all living together happily - hence the "and they all lived happily ever after etc etc". The point is there are no villains, everyone gets along and so forth.

Why are they all sleeping walking? Why has the trans troll been stabbed in the eye with an intersex flag? Why is 'they' so big?....No, wait. I've got that one!

I can’t get worked up about this. I can’t imagine many children standing there and looking at this long enough to notice the mastectomy scars. I’m a GC feminist and I am also deeply troubled by the movement to enable people to have healthy body parts removed and take meds for the rest of their lives. I can also see the bigger impact this movement has on women on girls.

But this poster just seems fairly anodyne a message when you look at it at a glance, as I’m sure most of us (esp kids) will. It’s celebrating difference and I’m all for that.

Maybe I need to call in and look at it in context though?

It is fortunate that Hebden Bridge is very accepting of trans people however there are certain sections of its population that are not very tolerant of women, especially lesbians that may not want to accept men into their spaces.

If you’re one of the problematic women The Witch Finder General and her gang will seek out these pesky women, complain to anyone they can, search their social media, target their employers, threaten them with police action and demand their silence or else.
So much for being kind, huh?

This is bullying on a town-wide scale and the local Labour Party need to get a grip of that person as she is thoroughly toxic and responsible for much of the division in this community.

Ikr. I’d really like this answered in a way that is congruent to a belief in human rights for all.

Neither do I.

Or why we should have to come up with euphemisms for female person such as AFAB and cervix haver and use them about ourselves in order to include people who don't want the word "woman" to include them.

Only people with the right beliefs should be included and accepted, apparently.

Unfortunately, this requires common sense, which they are lacking. They don't want to 'get along' with women, they want to colonise our spaces and language and we're supposed to just shut up and take it. You're starting from a reasonable perspective, and they are starting from the perspective of wanting everyone to cow down to their demands. Therefore a compromise isn't going to work..

It reminds me of this quote:
"Meet me in the middle," says the unjust man. You take a step towards him, he takes a step back. "Meet me in the middle," says the unjust man.

Also, a trans only event would not work for many because it would reinforce that they are not the sex they claim to be - reality is not something they seem to want to accept. So women's groups must be infiltrated, and taken over.
'Be kind' has only gotten us trampled on.

You... think it's vile that women should object to being redefined as a gender identity without their consent?

You're totally right - the internet isn't real life, thank fuck.

Maybe you could try telling that to the trans extremists on Reddit and Twitter who delete, edit and filter their whole online existence and then can't seem to handle actual reality out in the real world.

There'a a reason they're so angry, and it's because in order to get what they want, they need everybody to play along with their self delusion. Those of us who won't play ball must be demonised, instead of them facing reality. It must be exhausting having to pretend all the time.

I really don’t see why women who have been cancelled, sacked from jobs etc, have to include the very same people who have done this to them.

Shouldn’t everyone feel included and accepted?

Stickers saying that women are adult human females are "vile" apparently. Except, it's a statement of biological fact. And therein lies the beating heart of the problem. Women being told that they can no longer gather together in public - perfectly fine apparently. Males in women's prisons, sports, rape support services - all absolutely fine. Women afraid to say how they feel about this issue for fear of losing their jobs - fine. But a sticker stating reality is "vile". No wonder people are now getting tired of this gaslighting ideology.

'vile'

any other dictionary definitions that are vile?

Ardvark - a nocturnal badger-sized burrowing mammal of Africa, with long ears, a tubular snout, and a long extensible tongue, feeding on ants and termites.

how do you feel about that one?

you REALLY love flags I take it?

Well done stickerwomen everywhere.

Nobody can deny that this is a real issue in real towns and communities, even the Labour Party, who appear to be taking a typical authoritarian line, so women are the only group not permitted to organise separately. I hope friends I know there are the ones contributing to the web page, but sad they have to be anonymous. I will be digging for Cathy also.

Vile? It's a simple statement of fact.
But I agree that I hope it continues to be an inclusive and accepting place for all of it's residents.

Yeah those stickers are vile. Good to know it's only a few people doing that.

Let's hope such a lovely little town continues to be inclusive and accepting of its trans residents who helped make it what it is today.

You are ridiculous.
