I just want to thank all these women for speaking out for women despite the obstacles put in their place. It's getting easier for the rest of us now.

Rachel Rooney rather than Rachel Reeves?

Doyle Clayton -the employee owned firm where the excellent lawyers are based. I couldnt name their support staff but I'm sure they contribute to this too.

JK Rowling keeps getting silenced despite having 14M followers and everything she says about the topic is relayed by the daily mail?

I think "silenced" needs to be clarified. One isn't silenced just because a lot of people disagree.

Show quote history

People have speaking engagements withdrawn. Graham Linehan. Kathleen Stock. And let's not forget the ones who lose their jobs or freelance work. Rosie Kay who was kicked out of her own dance company.

As for TERF bars, I thought those were Tunnocks caramel wafers.

Which reminds me that I have two packets in the cupboard.

So, there's no chance of me going "Shush now TownGown" and you being silenced?

A pissed off middle aged woman with a headache can dream I suppose!

Please can you tell me the reason Rachel Reeves is in your list?

Because I copied it from earlier collections of Women Who Had Taken Action. I see also I typo'd Rachel Meade.

I saw someone on Twitter saying they were starting a "TERF bar" where only women were allowed in and one of the security was a convicted murderer who would ask questions about periods "only real women could answer" or something. It sounded very bizarre.

Yep that sounds perfectly plausible.

A gay bar in London has a I❤️JKR flag up.

  • Is it an actual gay bar or a TERF one?
It’s predominately a gay male bar
  • frankly I don't believe you.

A pub has a sign up liking a famous author? Inconceivable.

I don't think the gay community is happy with her. A Dublin gay bar has a "f**k you JK Rowing" sign up.

Well if there is a sign in bar in Dublin that's evidence enough for me that all the gays hate JKR- we all know they think with one hive mind linked to Cher.

Chocolate, caramel and peanuts. They used to be called Marathon.

God I'd love that.

Thanks to the famous terfs speaking out, the ones who've become famous through speaking out, the ones who can only speak anonymously, the ones who write essays and the ones who give solidarity and cash.

Raquel Rosario Sánchez, Keira Bell, Sonia Appleby, Ceri Black, Helen Joyce, Rosa Freedman, Kathleen Stock, Rachel Meades. Rachel Reeves. Lisa Keogh Roz Adams., Pilgrim Tucker. Allison Bailey. Maya Forstater. So many.

Naomi Cunningham, Anya Palmer, Annie Powell (lawyers).

The politicians. Joanna Cherry et al.
