Do you wear any "Rad Fem"-identifying clothes or accessories?

I was on a bus the other day and sailed past a woman vulva-owner with an Adult Human Female T-shirt on. I almost strained my neck to get a good look at her and nearly broke my face with how much it made me smile.

But I also, ridiculously, thought what a brave person.

I've never seen any "Rad Fem" clothes or accessories out in the wild. I was in a meeting with a woman who wore Venus symbol earrings a few months ago and I got very excited that it was "I believe in two sexes" code. But her Twitter confirms otherwise 🙄

Have you ever seen any out in the wild? If so, what did you feel? What did you do? Do you wear clothes/accessories that might identify you as a biology-believer?

I'd love an AHF T-shirt for working out.

I've got this, but I haven't worn it yet. I think it's got plausible deniabilityGrin

Oooh where is this from and does in come in "Bedouin tent" size?

I have a friendship bracelet in the suffragette colours that I always wear (along with Hufflepuff and Ukraine ones) and my coat had a dinosaur brooch in the same colours.

I also have a For Women Scotland pin.
Sadly most of Posie's merchants is too small for me as I'd love a Thought Criminal T or hoodie

@JackieQueen why, thank you, I'm glad I spoke with you that day, it's nice to meet you too, both here and IRL! I did wonder if others may have noticed your scarf and commented, mum says 'hi' too, I've just relayed our messages on here to her. Keep on terfing!

I’ve just bought a uterus pin from etsy

I now have a long shopping list, thanks to this thread 😆I wear Birdy Rose t-shirts, dinosaurs, Harry Potter merchandise and my FWS pin badges a lot, and knitted some GWV hats and wrist warmers last winter. I've never had a comment made to my face and I wouldn't notice a dirty look unless it happened at point blank range.

When my NHS organisation handed out rainbow lanyards I politely declined to take one and made myself a GWV lanyard by plaiting narrow ribbon. I wore it for almost a year and nobody said a word. If I'd been asked, I'd have put on my best innocent eyes and said, "I don't need to wear a rainbow to show I support the NHS, I turn up at work every day."

This is the thing. You can't control women. We will find ways to organise, secretly if necessary.

Always have done, always will. And men will never be women no matter what stupid laws they pass.

Hi DOBARDAN, nice to meet you! I've had a few positive reactions but yours was definitely the best! I try to wear something every time I go out, even if it's just a pin badge. Most of the time no one knows what it all means but it makes me feel better!😊

HirplesWithHaggis · 28/07/2023 16:59

Are you in Ayrshire, wouldbe?

wouldbeflowerfarmer · 28/07/2023 16:54

My hair is green/purple and white (grey). Not had many comments though.

I use this when I am working - teach first aid and health and safety mostly to men - I always stress how important sex is is healthcare - heart attack being a good example

I have the suffragette scarf from Ministry of Tartan. I’ve just seen that they are also launching a throw which I might have to add to my Christmas List!

I have a suffragette pin, which has got me some glares on the tube, and a we are the witches back from the dead t shirt, which has never got any comments, probably too obscure.

Stumbleine · 28/07/2023 15:36

I wear my suffragette tartan scarf a lot

northerncrumpet · 28/07/2023 15:28

there is a fab jeweller called Huiyi Tan on notonthehighstreet who makes silver stacking rings in white topaz, peridot and amethyst...very subtle, very covetable and very well priced :)

Norma27 · 28/07/2023 15:19

I do also have several T-shirts from standing for women and from birdy rose.

Norma27 · 28/07/2023 15:19

For next meeting I have a green and white dress and a purple belt 🤣🤣

Norma27 · 28/07/2023 15:17

I wear a necklace which is green, white and purple (violet).
When we had a huge meeting in London at my stonewall gold champion company I wore white top, green belt and purple (violet) trousers. Likely nobody would realise but made me feel better 🤣🤣

weebarra · 28/07/2023 15:04

I've got a WWW JKR 'Women won't be bullied out of resistance' hoodie, a AHF tee and a They Can't burn us all tee.
And a 'thought criminal' pen.
People too does lovely suffragette jewellery.

Cuckoosheep · 28/07/2023 15:02
