Call yourself a feminist? Our transgender columnist Juno Dawson's here to see if you really pass the test

And calls women who don't "TERFs". Thanks, Glamour and Jo Elvin, thanks a lot.

Yes I've seen this! And threatened anyone on Twitter who pointed out that terf is a slur and used in conjunction with violent threats against women. Apparently has screen grabbed any offending posts as they are 'libellous'
What a nice person Hmm

One of the best things I ever did for my mental health was to stop buying women's magazines. I saved money and cheered up - what's not to like?

FlapsTie · 04/11/2016 16:11

Oh god everything about that article has just given me the rage.

It's just mansplaining taken to the nth degree. A man who says he's a woman, telling women how to do feminism.

venusinscorpio · 04/11/2016 16:12

Libellous against who exactly?

venusinscorpio · 04/11/2016 16:12

It's deliberately goady click bait.

FlapsTie · 04/11/2016 16:17

The comments are quite heartening.

Greythornes · 04/11/2016 16:17

Jo Elvin can fuck right off with this nonsense.

Mozfan1 · 04/11/2016 16:22

Love how it's essentially an article full of mansplaining- 'come on girlies this is real Feminism, get with times'

ageingrunner · 04/11/2016 16:22

Venus libellous against the author of the article because the tweets apparently suggest that they are inciting rape and violence against women obviously bullshit

Mozfan1 · 04/11/2016 16:22

And YY to the comments, inspired

OurBlanche · 04/11/2016 16:24

Oh... do I want to read it... do I need a blood pressure spike...?

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 04/11/2016 16:25

This is astounding -

I try to only ever speak for myself but I'm pretty sure, overwhelmingly, all trans people EVER would agree with me when I say a) I JUST NEED A WEE, THAT IS MY ONLY MOTIVE FOR ENTERING A PUBLIC LOO and b) I really really wouldn't feel safe peeing in a men's bathroom

Then why do you think women should feel really really safe when men come to pee in their bathrooms, for fuck's sake?

Mozfan1 · 04/11/2016 16:25

blanche you may want to grab the smelling salts

BenLinusatemyhomework · 04/11/2016 16:27

Is this the Glamour magazine that just gave Bono a "Women of the Year" award? I'm thinking they have a somewhat tenuous grip on the definition of the word Women.

Mozfan1 · 04/11/2016 16:27

seek so true, how is it fair?! I would t feel comfortable sharing a public toilet with a human that is genetically male.

venusinscorpio · 04/11/2016 16:28

I don't think they have a great understanding of libel law.

OurBlanche · 04/11/2016 16:28

Thanks, Moz DH is bringing tea...

Mozfan1 · 04/11/2016 16:28

Hot and sweet following mumsnet rules I hope?!

msrisotto · 04/11/2016 16:28

Go ahead and start reading. I had to stop because my eyes rolled up so far they got stuck.

Mozfan1 · 04/11/2016 16:29

Wouldn't not would t

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 04/11/2016 16:29

The comments are very good though!

venusinscorpio · 04/11/2016 16:29

I've read an article by that twat before, as their fabulous new columnist. One is quite enough.

ageingrunner · 04/11/2016 16:30

To be fair they don't seem to have a great understanding of anything much

Mozfan1 · 04/11/2016 16:30

So is she basically saying: 'because I'm a trans woman, my feelings trump those of (genetically born) women'?
