This is bloody hilarious.

"Obsessed by genitals" my arse. Behave! Women do not have penises. That's not an obsession - it's a fact.

Stop trying to push "lady-peen" onto us, stop telling us to "suck your lady dick" or "suck your formaldehyde soaked balls" on Twitter - and we might stop talking about it.

or "suck your formaldehyde soaked balls" on Twitter - and we might stop talking about it.

Precisely. That wasn't puerile and disgusting at all of course.

That journo is a woman and she included the L call to arms in the article. If she's not a witch gender critical feminist in disguise she'll be burnt at the stake accused of it anyway.

Blatantly place-marking in case anyone works out how we can get penis stickers!

Women don't have penises though and where can I get some stickers?

Prick News are wanky men.

Another sticker wanter delurking to placemark!

It's unfortunate that there is not space for comments at the end of the Pink News article - we could have posted there to ask where to buy stickers. Although I'd prefer to find stickers pointing people to a site that sets out the impact of self-id on women's rights.

I am a bit lost though - surely the statement is correct? Women don't have penises.

This evening, I'm identifying as a goldfish this evening. However this is leading to me finding that I am a goldfish suffering from existential angst: as a goldfish I need to be in water or I will die, I am not in water and have not died yet, does this mean I am not a goldfish or does it mean I am going to die very soon (but after a longer time than the average goldfish would last without water)? Anyone responding to this should be very careful not to question the fact that I am a goldfish and have always been a goldfish.

You can buy label printers, although you're stuck with black-and-white rectangles.

I've had a harrowing day and this thread has made me laugh.

This is excellent I too need willy stickers. Chalk under cover of darkness sounds good too.

The stickers are great, but need a web address or something pointing people to find out more. This could peak a lot of people who have no idea that most trans women don't have the surgery.
I think at the moment it is a lost opportunity.

Schrödinger's goldfish 🤣🤣🤣

Fox? Owl? It's like reading the latest goings on in Wind in the Willows.

Water rats are rats.

*My logical brain says "they're men who have had bits lopped off and other bits added" but my emotional part says they've come through something traumatic with bravery and a sense of humour

They can be both. We can respect the struggle of transsexual people, acknowledge their suffering and admire their determination whilst also knowing that they are still men.*

Exactly.
Men can be brave and funny, too. Pass it on.

Agree. I know many brave and funny men.

need a web address or something pointing people to find out more

I was thinking that. What web address would you suggest?

I know, how about the MN Break it down for me thread, would that be a good idea?

Or - somewhere else? Where?

Link to the web address for the GRA consultation.

Yes, that'd be good. It could like to Fair Play For Women's excellent resources, couldn't it. fairplayforwomen.com/

But then people might assume they made the stickers / they might get flak. Does it matter? Would they mind?

(I don't have the sticker design by the way! Hoping someone who does reads this thread!)

Some of the women on GC Reddit are printing stickers as we speak.

I wouldn't put a QR code on it pointing to a website.

The elegance and genius of the message is the universal truth of its message.

It unites millions of people, with very different ideas about the world and how they lable themselves within it.

It is in such glowing stark contrast with the opposite statement in needing no further explanation, whereas the opposite has to come with the baggage of a shit tonne of post modern gobbledygook.

Because it is faction-free as a single statement it can be taken by individuals with wildly different perspectives and turned into their own personal small act of subversion in the face of the current atmosphere of WrongThink Will Cause Silencing And Punishment.

This could snowball into something with uptake from all sorts of people, and cause many a varied water cooler conversation that includes a lot of perspectives, one of which might appeal and hit home with the original person who got confused by a willy on the way to work.

And... if this does snowball, MSM will have to focus on the willy and the statement (not shift the focus to the attached website), go all standard regulation handwringing about how awful it is to say ".women don't have pensis " and promptly peak thousands upon thousands upon thousands.

I vote for don't mess with the simplicity and clarity that is the absolute genius of the design and the Act of Resistence as it currently stands.

Cesira, I agree.

Anyone else noticed that if you turn it upside down the penis sticker looks remarkably like an 'up yours' middle finger?

Laughing a lot, gIve that woman a girl guiding badge for crafty activity.

"Women don't have penises" is a simple clever slogan, enough to promote a discussion which is exactly what is needed.

I'm off to find some chalk - brilliant idea

I also need stickers, brilliant work there!
