To say let's all give a quiet wave of support to Rosie Duffield MP

[DeepaBeesKit]

We've got your back Rosie. In the words of Tony Benn, there are millions of people in your wilderness.

Wave of support.

Anyone else?

Many stood up before her, I appreciate what she has done and hoe she is safe, I am not going to fan girl her, as I am not in a cult.

Nothing to do with fan girl. More a nod that she's probably going to continue to get attacked in the media etc and I imagine it's easier to hold firm to your convictions knowing you are not alone.

That’s why I support insulate Britain as well. Very brave but getting a lot of hate on here for no reason.

👋

I will, and I don't like the dismissive tone of the phrase 'fangirl' either. If women want to show support for someone who, although not unique in what she has said or done, is currently in the firing line, it shouldn't be dismissed as 'fangirling'.

You would get more “waves” of support if people knew what you were referring to. The problem with assuming everyone knows, is that they don’t.

I will choose my own language and my own behavior.

We're with you Rosie ❤️

FFS there's always one, isn't there?

Whole heartedly support her too. I have no idea who to vote for in future since all but one party seem to want to eradicate women and there’s no way I’d ever vote Tory.

Ok for those who don't know, Rosie Duffield is under attack for her position supporting the rights of biological women to single-sex spaces. Like many of us, she under stands that biological sex is different to gender. Keira Starmer, leader of her political party (labour), had said she was wrong to say only women have cervixes.

Ps. Woman = a term for a person who is of the female biological sex , with XX chromosomes. A person of a particular biological sex may be any gender they damn well please.
Transman - a person of the XX phenotype, but of the female gender.

Biological sex - scientific fact based on your chromosomes.
Gender - sociological construct based around the roles typically associated with particular biological sex.

Good for you for standing up what you believe in, Ms Duffield. I wish more people had your courage.

Oops obviously I mean Keir starmer.

Thankyou Rosie for your bravery, sad that you are on the receiving end of such awful treatment ❤️

More than happy to fan girl her ❤️

🥰

Waves. Thank you Rosie.

I completely support Rosie.

I’m so fed up of trans rights trampling all over women’s rights. Kier Starmer...I have no words really that won’t get me deleted. 🤬

👋👋👋 thank you Rosie

I support her, but I am confused about something. What about Transmen?

Thank you Rosie. Keep safe.

Okki - "woman" is a description of your biology based on your chromosomes (typically XX although also including chromosomal disorders like XXX). A transman is still biologically a woman in terms of their sex & chromosomes. Because you cannot change your chromosomes, even if you have gender reassignment surgery, hormone treatment etc.

However, their gender is male.

See above for an explanation of how biological sex and gender are different things.

Furthermore a transman who has had full/complete gender reassignment surgery will likely have had a hysterectomy including removal of said cervix.
