Worldwide XX Day proposed, wear red - 10th October

Just seen on X. #TERFDayofVisibility proposed for 10th October because it's X X in Roman numerals. Suggested that women in support all over the world should wear red. Symbolic but also not as political as suffragette colours for those who need to be careful at work. I think I'll give this a go. https://x.com/sappholives83/status/1837232379179544598?t=wUUgCHATTW_qZ2O6c4z8NQ&s=19

Just been to a Ben Elton show and I'm pleased to report that he did the first half in a red T shirt. My wardrobe isn't big on exciting colours so I made do with a scarf with red on it. Plenty of red hats around.

Oh! I spent the whole day in the City. Most of the time I was in my office but I did walk around Fenchurch Street, Leadenhall Street and Grace Church Street and dropped it for business coffees along the way. There was more red than usual. Usually there is no red at all. There was a lot of red on display in the East India Arms.

Maybe it’s a case of seeing what you want to see Jane! Either that or as a protest it went distinctly under the radar…. Oh well…!

Pleasingly no more than normal sightings of red around Westminster and in the City of London today! What a surprise…..🙄😂

I wore red and pink trainers today with my otherwise sombre outfit on a trip to my nearest big town. I noticed the receptionist where I had an appointment clocking them. And two women in the street who looked and then made eye contact. Did they realise the significance? Maybe, but I don't care. I knew.

JanesLittleGirl · 10/10/2024 19:16

I wore a red jumper to work today. It clashed gloriously with my hair. It prompted thee people to pass a remark, giving me the opportunity to explain why I was wearing red. Gotta be honest though, it was a relief to take the jumper off when I got back to the hotel.

ILoveAnnaQuay · 10/10/2024 17:43

I'm wearing a red jumper at work today. I had to.buy it specially as red really isn't my colour. Sadly I haven't spotted anyone else in red

Women with Turners syndrome are X and they are not intersex! That is a lie pushed by the trans agenda to try and say there are more intersex people than there really are! Women can be X, XX, XXX. The key feature is that they only have X chromosomes and no Y chromosomes.

Interesting re Cat Deeley.... watch this space I guess!

Am also in red today 👍👍 Been on Teams camera for a bit, also had to pop to my nearest town (pre-arranged appointment) and am heading out somewhere later on too. It doesn't remotely matter if I'm the only one who knows - I had a big smile and a confident stride walking between my car and the appointment (about 10 mins) earlier. I think a big part of that was knowing I was "hiding in plain sight" 😁

Grammarnut · 10/10/2024 16:31

I might wear red. Suffragette colours would be better, had I any.

Stand by for the inevitable apology...

Thus drawing more attention to the subject which Cat Deeley will ultimately know...

Ooo interesting!!

Chrysanthemum5 · 10/10/2024 14:19

I am wearing a red dress and cardigan today, a small gesture and probably won't make any difference - but it matters to me

I'm not planning on leaving the house today, but am suitably dressed regardless!

I'm wearing red at work today.

DeanElderberry · 10/10/2024 13:05

I won't be going beyond the garden gate but have honoured the day by washing my red rain jacket which was a bit grubby. Been meaning to do that since dropping some lunch on it in July.

AstonScrapingsNameChange · 10/10/2024 13:05

I fully intended to participate but I own no red things and due to RL going a bit tits up recently haven't got around to getting any.

But I'm at home drinking my tea out of a red mug!

Re world mental health day - you could always wear some red and some yellow? (And look like Ronald Mcdonald)

Definitelyrandom · 10/10/2024 12:41

I have a red sweater on. Unfortunately no Teams meetings planned. I steadfastly refuse to participate in work's "wear [ ] to celebrate/mark/support this [week's/day's esoteric/fashionable cause]."

Hope you don’t mind some XY support for XX day

I dress almost exclusively in greens and blues, but I've found a red fleece lurking at the back of the wardrobe and some clashing red socks.
