What little acts of rebellion or activism do you do?

[Steelworks]

I’m not talking about going on marches, but minor things, that you know about.

Mine is I won’t play Michael Jackson songs, after all the alleged behaviour, which certainly wouldn’t be accepted by today’s standards.

The second is I won’t buy McCain products, after they put out an advert for Smileys, which referred to ‘knocker’s’ in them. I thought that language had died out in the seventies.

It is a discussion thread. There are two posters fighting about the Middle East. There’s a lively discussion about the Radfords and one about Nestle. Someone else asked the poster who’s a guide leader about their views. I was contributing to that discussion and asking for clarification.

This is how threads work.

If you are gullible enough to rinse money on causes just because someone says something you deem offensive then crack on.

Young developing girls wanting their own space is not hateful!?!? Transphobes? How DARE you!. You should not be working with Guides with that attitude and if you were part of my Daughter's Guides group I'd remove her and make a complaint for calling Girls"Transphobes. You do NOT call 12 year old girls who are brave enough to say how they feel about Men and Boys barging into their space "hateful" I applaud them for saying no to men if that's how they feel, as it's something they'll have to do for their whole lives! I'm hearing an awful lot about how Trans People feel about the Guides ruling but perhaps we ought to think about the young girls being guilt tripped or scared to say how they really feel by people by people like you. My Grandmother had to fight hard to be able to follow her Career ambitions after she got married, couldn't open a bank account without her husband's permission or report Domestic Violence or Rape in her marriage because it wasn't a crime. The Generation before her couldn't vote. Generations before that women got drowned or had a contraption put over their mouth and tongue by Men to stop them talking, or they just got burned at the stake. Nowadays women just get called Transphobes and Bigots.
I'll will fight like a lion to ensure our young girls today aren't silenced by Men like their previous generations were. You can call me Bigot and anti trans until you are blue in the face. I'm not, I have no issue with people living their lives how they want to provided they respect views of women and young girls whose spaces they want to share. Don't reply to me or private message me again please. We're done here.

In short, my definition is being a dick to or about somebody because of their gender identity.
and I wear a (fairly small) badge stating im against that because as the sibling of a trans young person I am all too aware that the number one cause of death in young trans people is suicide and transphobia is on the up. And quite frankly you never know who might also have a trans loved one and might benefit from the reassurance that we won’t tolerate it.
there are so many arguments in both camps but honestly I just want to create an environment where everyone is nice to eachother regardless of differences

I’m sorry, I’ve explained myself really really poorly. I’m not saying that girls wanting their own space is being hateful, I’m saying people being hateful is what I take issue with. I completely get girls wanting their own spaces and that side of things isn’t a debate I’m qualified enough to get into. I just want people to not be dicks (although I’m aware that’s how I’ve come across here)
