Popped to the loo in a supermarket earlier and THIS greeted me when I closed the door. Not that I condone graffiti, but can't help admiring the woman who felt compelled to write that.

I can barely contain my excitement waiting for my new stickers to arrive. I also may have dropped a Sharpie into my handbag a few days ago...

Please tell me that it was at home when you did that or have you taken up shoplifting as well?

The sticker that is not the waitrose

There's been a remarkable change of tone on Twitter of late.

Just went for a quick google stroll for other stickers and omg I’ve come scuttling back here for safety...

Etsy have so many anti-terf stickers that are all about ‘smashing’ ‘destroying’ ‘terf tears’ ‘a trans person peed here and you didn’t notice’ - all such violent language and let’s face it, very redolent of male aggression and disregard of boundaries…

If I was coy about defacing toilet walls before, I’m not now. I think I want to be in ‘educating’ mode - so many women are still oblivious and #bekind mode to the real implications of men in women’s spaces.

So, male-bodied people behaving in profoundly gender normatives ways. Plus ça change……………. 😑

Agree. My sharpie is going everywhere with me now.

Went to Waitrose yesterday, so added a sticker to the loo paper dispenser.

Made sure it was tidy & level - it was Waitrose, after all.

Was it central or...?

My graffiti would be on the wall above the toilet and would say -
If you are reading this while peeing, you're in the wrong loo. 🙂

I live very, very rurally. And I know it's a bit of a cliche to say that on Mumsnet, but I do. I had put up sufragette ribbons on a lamppost near me, which stayed up for about a year. A few weeks ago, someone took them down and replaced them with a 'No LGB without the T' sticker. I put my ribbons back up but left the sticker (because, you know, plurality of views and all that).

The sticker is now gone. I did not remove it. Someone else, unconnected to me, in my rural location, has removed the sticker. The ribbons remain.

I've got one of the other FWS badges

Ooh snap. So have I look...

(It's the only image i have with both of them in honestly!)

That would make a pretty earring... 🤔

You're right they would! That one is actually a For Women Scotland pin badge.

Wouldn't it be nice if any of us who see such graffiti added a little 'woman' (don't know how to do that on MN - you know the circle on a + to signify female) symbol next to it. Then we'd all start to see how many women were on TERF island....

And draw a XX in the cycle

I went to my old college for a ‘do’ . There was a sticker in the loo saying ‘Transwomen are women’.

Thanks to always having a pentel in my bag, it now reads ‘Trans women are —men’.

My closest supermarket is a Waitrose. I might have to do similar, or a simple Women = Adult Human Female.

There are stickers bearing this caption in the (only) public loos of a small market town not far from where I live. And this is in a small locality, not a large city or anywhere near a university campus.

No, I did not put them there 😀but I was interested to see them situated there. Evidently the appetite for overriding women's rights doesn't extend to the provinces, or perhaps isn't as strong as some people think.
