I'll quote JCJ here as I do not want to derail the other thread:

From my, and many other people's observation, over the last couple of years, the UK GC space, especially on twitter, has progressively merged with both the US MAGA/Christian nationalist space, and those of UK white nationalists.

It is not easy to make sense of that X thread, but this statement is one I want information on. I don't do parroting, I believe in critical thinking, evidence and independence of thought, and I have learned to be deeply cautious of being accidentally vaccuumed into the 'so and so smells so do what I tell you' strategies so very tediously rife at the moment to get people in line and useful to others, we live in very grotty times.

So please would some kind person provide me with evidence that women wanting rights, equality and single sex spaces are entangled with religious extremism and white nationalism? Actual evidence. Not aspersions, but evidence.

There was a recent thread on the black mumsnetters forum about black women's discomfort on drag being compared to blackface.

A lot of the responses from GC women to that were indeed racist.
One poster went as far as to call black women liars for saying they experienced racism in some feminist circles.

There are also multiple instances on this forum of GC women praising racists who "know what a woman is".

Not again!

This comes under the heading of 'If we say it often enough and loudly enough people will start believing it's true without the need for that pesky evidence.'

And when you ask for that evidence you're told to 'educate yourself.' Which has always struck me as pretty stupid because what if I do and find out that you're talking - as the splendid phrase I saw on another thread goes - a metric tonne of weapons grade horseshit?

What then, eh?

Evidence doesn’t exist.

I'll pull up a comfy chair and wait with you for this evidence.
