Amy, the architect and hero of ManFriday has been invited on Good Morning Britain this morning. As far as we know the interview will be 7:40am. Please tune in.

I’ll take one for the team and watch from now, updating the thread when I see she comes on Grin as it’s the very least I can do considering she is going up against Piers Morgan and Peter Tatchell.

Good luck to her!

Really gross to watch piers harassing susannah on tv. "Don't worry, you can touch me, i wont #metoo you".

IAmSproutycus · 19/03/2018 19:33

Only writing to say, thank you very much for your great work on our behalf. Onwards, sisters!

CadyHeron · 19/03/2018 19:41

Amy, I said it before to Hannah earlier, but I have fallen in love with the two of you!

Same Grin I've never "done" girly crushes but you've both earned my first ever one, lol.

bellasuewow · 19/03/2018 21:57

I feel so very proud to be part of this movement. Thank you so much for being so brave Amy.

EllieMe · 20/03/2018 06:07

Excellent article. Thanks for posting it.

I don’t understand how you can decide whether somebody genuinely intends to identify as a woman when nobody is prepared to explain what it means.

There's a very good comment on that Metro article:

Brittany Newmark
There is no such thing historically, culturally as "Transphobia" it is a made up accusation that serves the victim narrative and to silence, bully and threaten. Women and kids can be afraid of male sexual violence and male violence and that is what is considered "transphobia". Biology is transphobia. Reality is Transphobia. It is a violent male movement aimed to harm women and kids.

So when we are all being dragged into stating for the record that we are not sodding transphobic for the umpty-millionth time, perhaps we need to recognise what the meaning behind the slur actually is. We ARE afraid of male violence and that is the whole point.

Definitely got the attention of MSM now.

Wow, that DM article. Overnight we have gone from TERFS to "feminists, making a legitimate protest" and "trans-fascists" got a mention, along with "transphobia" in scare quotes.

The tide is turning.

IndominusRex · 20/03/2018 07:56

This is going to be enough for the tories to scrap GRA. The question is whether that makes labour double down on it.

“The tide is turning”

I can’t believe how quickly this is happening. Grin
Only a month ago it seemed no one would listen and we were being called TERFS.
This month we’ve had a meeting in the HoCs, numerous media articles in our favour, ManFriday, thousands of women Tweeting, signing petitions, starting threads, writing to MPs, I’m sure I’ve missed a few things.

Sorry for the ramble, I just think it’s amazing!

EllieMe · 20/03/2018 08:18

Thanks to #ManFriday for turning the tide.

ShotsFired · 20/03/2018 08:19

That DM article has been up for 8 hours and not one single comment? Unlikely.

They are keeping the tightest of reins on that one, you can tell.

TerfsUp · 20/03/2018 08:21

Thanks to #ManFriday for turning the tide.

Yes. Thank you, Amy. You are a star.

OohMavis · 20/03/2018 08:29

I missed this yesterday. I'm feeling a bit choked up reading all this, it feels like we're getting somewhere, finally.

Thank you Amy! Flowers

CadyHeron · 20/03/2018 08:31

That Richard Littlejohn article is great.

EllieMe · 20/03/2018 08:36

First time in my life I've read a Littlejohn article without feeling murderous.

BiologyMatters · 20/03/2018 09:09

I don't normally agree with littlejohn. I liked this though. Does this mean im becoming more right wing? If i am its because of all this trans stuff.

LangCleg · 20/03/2018 09:23

Does this mean im becoming more right wing? If i am its because of all this trans stuff.

No. It means that trans ideology is pretending to be left wing and progressive when in reality it is deeply conservative and regressive. A ibt like the way in which TIMs are pretending to be women when in reality they are gender non-conforming men.

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 20/03/2018 09:36

I’m so glad to be able to let go of some of the murderous rage I’ve been carrying around with me the last few months!

Flowers to everyone

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 20/03/2018 09:41

I'm definitely not right wing. It's only salient that I find myself agreeing with Richard Littlejohn on a matter of basic common sense because the entire left-wing commentariat (with a few honourable exceptions) is claiming that black is white

ladyballs · 20/03/2018 09:46

Thanks for opening a conversation about this nonsense. Flowers

TheXXFactor · 20/03/2018 09:46

Amy & Hannah- you are amazing Smile

I've been cheered up massively by the comments on the Metro article. All the popular ones are gender critical, with hardly any support for the woman taking the handmaiden line.

Surely MPs must be waking up to the fact that the public are 99% TERF? Wink

Ellenripleysalienbaby · 20/03/2018 09:51

I will never align myself with that fucking disgusting homophobe Richard Littlejohn. He is using women's genuine concerns around gender identity to legitimately spout his own bigoted views about anyone who isn't a straight white man.

He can fuck off.
