In despair

[Kettlepotblack]

Ladies, I'm feeling so down about these proposed changes to the GRA and the whole trans rhetoric. I really feel in utter despair.

I do feel angry too and I hope this anger can be channeled into doing whatever it takes to safeguard and protect our spaces, for our fellow women, daughters and generations to come - but God I feel so low about it all. Especially reading about this disgusting tampon fetish, now that new article about the amount of male prisoners convicted of sexual crimes when been moved into women's prisons.

Is this normal? Did anyone else feel quite depressed about this before the anger and injustice really got going? How long did it last before it became productive?

We will win this won't we?

I feel the same sometimes then I lurk instead of posting. It's the women fighting all the time in their different ways. It bolsters me. This is a relay and sometimes we need a step out, to come back with more oomph.

OP - I'm a middle aged single mum. I earn a low wage and live in a very poor ward, I'm not educated.

Thanks to mumsnet, twitter and all the fantastic women there, I am as try as fuck.

Me and my Yemeni next door neighbour voted communist in the local elections.
See if this quite complex and emotive issue is reaching women like us:

We cannot and will not lose

Now chin up - you just know your stuff and speak to as many people as possible. I,ve written to my useless MP. Got a copy of the excellent transgender trend school pack and had a productive meeting with my dd headteacher. And generally just peaktransed a legion of people at bus stops .

We are women and we've weathered fucking worse than this.

*Try ? Terfy

technically I guess it would be vulvasplaining TerfsUp

Hah! I use it in a totally gender-neutral way in order to avoid mis-gendering anyone's comments.
