I cannot believe that Mumsnet is insisting on misogyny-based pronouns. It's fine to want a pleasant space but not in the sense that women have to submit to male authority on gender and uphold the misogynistic idea that women are just a bunch of gender stereotypes so men can be women. That's not being 'nice', that's being expected to bow to our socialisation, misogyny and indeed to patriarchy - MNHQ it is not OKAY to expect this from us (!). It is not a pleasant for the women here when we are essentially having feminist speech disallowed, although I take note of someone above who said that we obvs don't have to use preferred pronouns if we don't use them at all.
However with that said, the recent targeting of Mumsnet by the 'lady brain is real' misogynist dickheads (this is just a description folks) I will most definitely be visiting Mumsnet daily now to discuss the misogyny of trans ideology and how we can best fight it as women, instead of the once per week or so I was before.
They want to control us, or at least they want the fact we won't submit made invisible. So let's get louder, let's resist even more and get that noticed even more. We aren't gonna bow to misogyny and men's rights activists. And MNHQ needs to understand that feminist resistance on their boards is gonna be challenging gender socialisation, not acquiescing to it. I hope they start showing more backbone again....
