Anti-trans vandals are plastering vile ‘women don’t have penises’ stickers around London

Ekphrasis, I actually think they are so stupendously unaware of how all this looks that they think ending with that stonkingly fab quote makes their points even more compelling, instead of injecting a stabilizing dose of 'Stop being so bloody ridiculous' into every reader's mind.

The standingforwomen shop - do you have to become a member before you can buy anything? It's mostly a blank for me.

Ha !

Did it.

Just knocked one up in Italian to see if I could finally get to grips with Adobe Draw (free, but somewhat irritating app)

High enough res for sticker printing.... I think.

Mine is a very strong pink though. May need to adjust that, cos it looks too much like a man just dipped his bits in some very, very hot water.

There's no winning over hearts and minds if half the population is wincing at what looks like a par-boiled penis.

I think Ive seen two really bizarre autocorrects on this thread

Well I hope so

"Men don't have penises"

"A man with a penis is a eunuch"

Say what now?

That headline is impossible to satirize, isn't it?

Here's a similar story in terms of what action is being carried out, by the same PN "journalist":

Man Covers Street in Flyers Claiming Lesbian Sex Causes Cancer

What? Not "vile man"? Not "homophobic", "misogynistic" or "anti lesbian"?

Cesira, as if this whole thing wasn't funny enough, your post has given me a stitch from laughing.

I'll still be laughing about this tomorrow!

Owl, a non-binary trans activist and filmmaker, condemned those behind the stickers

Fucking hell ‘Owl’. Turn your head 360° and pull it out of your arse.

I’ve not looked up Owl but I’m willing to bet that Owl is a middle class white person who was born with a penis and no real problems.

SimonBridges, you haven't looked Owl up? And yet you know so much... Spooky.

Their collective apoplexy made me PMSL more than the "vile" "disgusting" "puerile" stickers.

And quotes from both Fox and Owl? And Sarah Brown? Ambassador you are spoiling us.

I can just imagine PN "reaching out to Anne Ruzylo" for comment

This was drawn in chalk on the pavement not too far from me!
No stickers required
I think it's fair, correct and to the point.

There's a video of Fox and Owl .

'We are often mistaken for a heterosexual couple.' Well that's because... you are?

The Untameable Shrews in Oz do some good sticker packs www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheUntameableShrews

And quotes from both Fox and Owl? And Sarah Brown? Ambassador you are spoiling us.

Where can I get one??

Angela C Wild i would very much like to buy you a drink

Me too!

Have money, will buy stickers.

Cesira
Lol here too!

ManFriday have a great line of badges but I'd still love to find some stickers with the salient message and ideally a QR code linking to the Fair Play for Women site

Have they not got anything better to do? That's hardly going to turn anyone GC it just makes the women look bitter and a bit sad.

What activism should we be doing jasmine?

Hang on, I'll get a pen so I can write down your ideas...

Thanks for clarifying (I think) so the problem is men, who want to be women, and do woman-y things but want to keep their dicks? (Btw, I'm a 46XX with four breastfed babies pushed out my my vagina to prove it!)

This entire thread has made me (h)owl!

@ArcheryAnnie possibly but I didn’t have to. Try it and see! Membership is £1.50 IIRC.

Hang on, you lot. There’s some anonymising going on here.
