How many terfs are out there?

I spent years in the wilderness, not talking about my terfiness irl, because friends had been politely distancing themselves from my views. Things are changing. I now know about a dozen people who have previously quietly asked me to ‘be kind to men who think they are women’ (I paraphrase), who are now strongly espousing TWANW.

What can we do? Recommend books and podcasts. Ask what people think about men in women’s sport, men in women’s changing rooms and hospital wards. Ask them if the like JKR 😉 Anything else?

We need to find each other irl. We all need to see that we are a huge majority that has been silenced for too long. Not everybody can, not everywhere is safe, but maybe now is the time to test the water?

I find if they are at the point they would look at the books and podcasts then talking about those things isn't challenging.

Personally I direct people to this board. So many amazing women here collecting all the evidence and having enlightened discussion. Regular TRA types coming in with their arguments that highlight the tactics and show the opposite of what they are trying to pull. From here you can get all the books and podcast recommendations too.

One thing I think more of us should do is were to shirts with slogans on. I have quite a few and don't even think about it day to day but it's amazing how many random women will tell me they like my too or ask where I got it. We don't discuss the topic but just asking that question is a clear communication between us we know the truth.
