Secret signals

Can anyone remember the name of the artist that made jewellery in shape of fallopian tubes? Sounds odd but it was beautifully made. She wrote a blog post over the rainbow (I think, not 💯 sure). I think I will save and get something like that for myself. If I can find her website again!

I’m a child of the 70s, I can’t get my head around feathered, colourful, whistling dinosaurs. Or that brontosaurus isn’t a name we use any more 😭😭

On the other hand, I love dinosaurs and I love Terfing so I see some little pins and badges in my future to add to my key ring and mug.

Other dinosaurs had vocal structures that are similar to those found in modern birds. The Vegavis, a bird-like dinosaur, had a vocal organ known as a syrinx that is responsible for bird songs and calls. This suggests that the Vegavis may have made sounds that were similar to those made by modern birds.

Dino-whistles😂

Definitely going to get some dinosaur jewellery in 2025 - links appreciated 😁

I think it’s not so much about non-terfs not being able to recognise the signs, as plausible deniability if the shit hits the fan!

What we're talking about here is what the TRAs term "dog-whistles", right?

The one problem with dog whistles is that if everyone can hear them, they're not really a dog whistle. And if no one can hear them, they're pointless. How you reach a stage where the dog whistle is only identifiable to people on the same team, but not anyone else, is a conundrum it's probably beyond me to solve.

Wow, overreact much, a person who like dino's enough to put one on their desk will be able to convince even the most dim witted HR officer that they genuinely like dino's because they will be able to reel off a long list of dino specie's eg T Rex, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus, Stegosaurus. They might even be able to show them a picture of a wall clock they brought from the Natural History Museum. 😁🦖

@IamAporcupine I wouldn't worry about that. Everyone recognises them as suffragette colours whereas ime they have so many different flags they can't keep track!

Oh I so want to go to that MC battle!!

I also wear my woman adult human female sweatshirt all the time on Zoom work meetings (work from home full time) - particularly if the other person (s) have pronouns after their name .

I'm enjoying the thought of A&E visits for aneurysms after your meetings!

Terfosaurus and the Suffragettes v DEI

They're not going to believe 'I just like dinosaurs'

Dinosaurs are popular They'd have to show that only TERFs like them - which is plainly nonsense. And if they then use it as reason for dismissal they're bang to rights for discrimination.

That's all very well, if it means TRAs exposing themselves, but what happens to the person suddenly the subject of their ire and potentially having to deal with their captured organisation HR department?

They're not going to believe 'I just like dinosaurs' if it's then possible for screenshots of FWR discussing the secret symbols to be presented in a disciplinary - if they've been employed for over two years, before that they could just be terminated without ever knowing why.

I have a pair of Dinny Hall earrings in suffragette colours, where the profits from the sales go to Women's Aid. Feels like a pretty act of rebellion!

I have a dinosaur pin and HP top.
i was going to buy a suffragette lanyard but then realised that the colours have also been stolen by the genderqueer flag 🤬

I was super happy to find out at our Xmas do a few weeks ago that two colleagues are GC. I had absolutely no idea.

My fav at the moment:

I have two coasters with historic suffragette posters on.

Let me show you my gorgeous beaded and very tactical/covert lanyard, @MaggieBsBoat

I’ve loved more posts on this thread than any other, ever.
I‘m buying one of everything!

Commonly known on MN FWR as Operation Let Them Speak.

I've been looking at these. Forgot to put them on my list, and can't really justify buying them so soon after Christmas. Next birthday...

People look twice when you wear mismatched earrings, sometimes they ask about them...oh, they're suffragette colours...conversation develops.

Might be a bit shit for other employees that just happen to like dinosaurs/wear green or purple dresses if the TRAs in the workplace round on them for 'displaying secret symbols of Terfdom'.

I have a "Deeds not Words" tattoo

I find identifying myself as a feminist is usually enough.
