If not here goes....

(If there is can someone link for me please? Have searched to no avail.)

I am Spartacus.

I won’t stand by and watch gender critical feminists be thrown under the bus to pander to a very vocal minority who wish to rewrite biology, feminism and common sense.

I am Spartacus. I wasn’t always. I once thought it was nice and inclusive that Caitlin Jenner won an award as Woman of the year. The brilliant, eloquent, informative and witty women opened my eyes. There is no unseeing the misogyny. If those women are being targeted, suppressed and banned then I am ready to step forward, and hope I can be half as good as them.
I am Spartacus.

Still Spartacus.

Men cannot become women. Women cannot become men.

Rhubarb makes the best crumble.

Weetabix Banana Horror is unforgivable Grin

Poppyred85 - snap. i could have written your post. Every word .

BossWitch · 18/06/2018 22:33

Still Spartacus.

A man is not a woman. A woman is not a feeling.

Facts matter.

Words matter.

Women and girls matter.

ChickenMe · 18/06/2018 22:50

Spartacus
Humans can't change sex

PencilsInSpace · 18/06/2018 22:54

Total fucking spartacus since the first thread.

Men are not women.

Sex is a protected characteristic.

Fuck this shit.

Southfields · 18/06/2018 22:55

I am Spartacus.

I have already acquired a strike and I am a new member trying DESPERATELY to abide by the new guidelines.

They will never force me to repeat their manmade womanhating mantra.

ChickenMe · 18/06/2018 22:55

Yep it's bollocks
No one in real life is falling for any of it

elpth · 18/06/2018 23:00

I am Spartacus and also agree with everything poppyred85 said

madja · 18/06/2018 23:05

Terry Yes, rhubarb all the way.
Perhaps with ginger as was suggested earlier.. May try that.
And facts, biology, that sort of thing. I'm a big fan of that also.

Latinista · 18/06/2018 23:05

I’m Spartacus.
I don’t believe in lady dicks and I don’t want them in my changing room, my toilet or my ladies’ pond thank you very much. I’m not a lesbian but they don’t have to accept them either.
They will not erase us. No eraseran!

PurpleCrowbar · 18/06/2018 23:12

Still Spartacus.

Ereshkigal · 18/06/2018 23:16

Spartacus always.

lurker33 · 18/06/2018 23:19

Still Spartacus.

It is not possible to change sex.

Men can't possibly know what it feels like to be a woman when they've never been one. Women can't possibly know what is feels like to be a man when they've never been one.

Gender identity ideology is based on stereotypes and is regressive.

spontaneousgiventime · 18/06/2018 23:19

I am Spartacus, stronger than ever and more so each day.

I'm going to say goodbye just incase I'm relieved of my posting privilege before I get chance to come on line tomorrow.

Expect the worse, hope for the best. Flowers for everyone.

RaininSummer · 18/06/2018 23:25

Still Spartacus. Am flabbergasted to read that HopePink has been banned from Twitter for misgendering himself/herself. How is that even possible?

AntiqueOlive · 18/06/2018 23:35

spontaneous - I refuse to be pessimistic. See you tomorrow.

BlackeyedSusan · 19/06/2018 00:05

Baby spartacus signing in.

God does not make mistakes.

people having different beliefs to me does not make me not exist.

thebewilderness · 19/06/2018 00:29

I came back to Mumsnet because of the first Spartacus thread.
I will stand with you as Spartacus until they ban me.

RubyShooFan · 19/06/2018 08:03

I Am Spartacus.

Men are NOT women.

We have a right to single SEX provision for changing rooms, healthcare, prisons, refuges, sports, support groups and anything else I’ve forgotten.

The protected Characteristics are SEX and gender reassignment. I believe the protected characteristics should be SEX and gender non conformity. I believe the 2004 act is a hangover from the homophobic days of gay marriage being illegal and should be repealed.

Anything Datun LangCleg Summers and all the other long standing posters have ever said.

What @floralbunting and @newbiespartucus have said.

In the words of Venice Allen ‘stand up, they can’t punch us all.

So I am Spartacus, I will always be Spartacus, I will not be silenced by Orwellian controls on speech or the MRA/GF invasion that is with us now the holidays have started.

TerfsUp · 19/06/2018 08:07

I am Spartacus.

Men are not women.

EmpressOfSpartacus · 19/06/2018 08:07

Still Spartacus too.

Women are adult human XX females.

Penis is male.

OrchidInTheSun · 19/06/2018 08:27

I don't think our numbers are dwindling at all. Since my disquiet first began (and that was when Jenner got that Woman of the Year award from Cosmopolitan or wherever and simultaneously made the 100 women of the year on the Women's Hour list and I thought WTAF?!), our numbers have swelled. 12,000 have signed the petition to consult with women before enshrining gender identity in law, there are lots and lots of grassroots organisations springing up of women organising together to raise awareness, crowdfunders for Posie and Jennifer and Transgender Trend have raised thousands. Many of us are afraid or unable to stand up publicly but we are many.

Bowlofbabelfish · 19/06/2018 08:55

Morning fellow spartacii.

Still Spartacus, still expounding evidence based science in the face of all of this.

Still pondering collective nouns. (It’s an array of hedgehogs by the way, which tickles me as a geneticist...)

LangCleg · 19/06/2018 08:58

Happy Spartacus Tuesday, everyone!
