Tomorrow I shall compose myself, continue speaking up, fight on, and we'll carry on getting stronger.

But I thought I would just explode my rage here, if you all don't mind, as I want to get angry tonight instead of desperate. Join me if you want to rage in company.

So.

FUCK YOU LABOUR, with your shortlists and your dismissive hatred of the female sex.

FUCK YOU, WEP, for choosing the wrong side and abandoning women this way

FUCK YOU BBC, for your biased coverage and concerted cheerleading of transing children and ignoring women

FUCK YOU ALL, you fools who aren't listening or respecting women.

You're all creating a monster and we will hit back HARD.
Our numbers are building.
We will NOT be defeated.
We keep fighting
We keep growing.

I AM RAGING.
I WILL NOT STAND DOWN.

Report the post and ask mn to edit or delete.

I just did, but multiple reports won’t hurt...

Thank you, womanhuman.

Long-time lurker, been inspired to post by you fine people! Grin

I have made an appointment to see my MP in a couple of weeks, to discuss exactly this. I won't say who (outing) but they are male and Conservative in the SE area.

I have never voted for them (nor will) as I am an ex-Labour voter, who has flirted with the LibDems for expediency. And I disagree with them vehemently on a number of issues (cough Brexit cough). But will be interested to see what they have to say.

In our meeting, I was planning to focus on the need to recognise include women's voices in this whole debate. One MP can't turn the tide on their own, even if they want to. But getting us at the table is basic, and crucial.

Any other suggestions for what I should say/ask very welcome - appreciate the collective Mumsnet wisdom Smile

Right, back to the Rage Wine

SunsetBeetch · 09/03/2018 17:57

This poor woman in twitter. Told some stories of sexism she had encountered in her work as a paramedic. Besieged by Trans activists for not including trans women. It's gone on for two days! I think she just peak transed

And she'd already done a shout out to trans women. You really can't win with these people!

SunsetBeetch · 09/03/2018 18:00

"Ok. You win. My female parts don’t count as female and the woman who gave birth to me wasn’t a woman either. You aren’t helping your cause. I was a huge trans supporter before I was told I can’t identify as myself." t.co/bufTBVyqmS

How does this impact for example, on biological distinctions when keeping records across a population?
How does this affect where for example the NHS put their resources [eg Prostrate cancer screenings being offered to biological women because they ticked a box saying they were a man, and not offered to biological men because they ticked a box saying they were a woman].
How does this affect crime statistics when [biological male] rapists are being recorded as women? And then put into a female prison.

PoliticallyHomeless · 09/03/2018 18:13

Great call about the NHS (prisons was already on my list to rant talk about) .

This affects everyone. If you don't acknowledge biological reality, how can you offer appropriate healthcare provision?

TheClitterati · 09/03/2018 18:18

My building rage has made me feel physically ill. It's like I have collapsed inside a bit today 😩😩😩

What research has been done into puberty blockers, bearing in mind the horrific tales from women who have been diagnosed them for endometriosis, what will happen when the children grow up, and realise they are now sterile?

What is the situation with regards safeguarding, when boys wanting to join the girl guides presenting as girls, and the staff are unable to inform the girls' parents, with regards for example 14 year old boys being put into accommodation with 10 year old girls? Why is the boy's feelings more important than the very serious safeguarding issues?

SunsetBeetch · 09/03/2018 18:39

Zinnia Jones on twitter flogging cheap hormone blockers to kids. My head is about to explode Angry

You'll have limited time, so if you want to be blunt about it, how about:

If having a conviction for rape is no barrier to getting a GRC, why should I automatically consider a holder of one as a woman?

The Guides say that mixed sex overnight accommodation has no safeguarding risks. Do any people proposing these policies have any idea of how babies are made?

Ereshkigal · 09/03/2018 19:02

Assigned Male comics give me the creeps.

Flooffloof · 09/03/2018 21:04

Have name changed. I got a bit worried and paranoid.
Am doing my absolute best to get this messsge out, mainly self Id but alongside am mentioning kids and puberty blockers and #no debate etc.
I am hitting brick walls. Only one person gives any kind of a shit.
Everyone seems to be equating this to the gay bashing of old.
It's only on here that I see like minded people. Sometimes I think i must be in the wrong til I see others on here who can see the same horror show about to happen.
I am currently so pissed off that no one irl can see it. Losing is not an option here though. My life will be impacted in a tiny way, but a few years ago my life would have been turned upside down by this. So I can't imagine how terrible a loss of liberty will be for so many women.
Anyway yeah feel my rage, impotent rage.

BarrackerBarmer · 09/03/2018 22:22

I know how you feel Flooffloof

I'm out on my FB timeline and any gender critical posts are almost universally ignored by my friends. I've had maybe 3 or 4 respond cautiously or privately. I've had one or two poke me with a stick to see if I'm a bigot.

But most just don't care.

I've decide the fact that they've not deleted me yet might mean they haven't entirely drunk the KoolAid.

My mum gets it Grin

@PoliticallyHomeless

I think we have the same MP!

I will be very interested to know how you get on in the meeting with him. I was considering doing the same...

AngryAttackKittens · 10/03/2018 02:16

It's all fun and games joking about Zinnia and his giant horse dildos until you realize that he's flogging serious medication with serious side effects to children who have no idea of the danger they might be putting themselves in by taking those meds without medical supervision.
