p12 contains the brief results from the City of London consultation. It seems the response was so great they are going to have the results professionally analysed.

Thanks for that. Its really cheered me up.

Theinconstantgardener · 29/09/2018 21:27

Ive been away for a couple of days. Stickered and leafleted every loo I went in to!

I paid £3 to Rupert Shitting Murdoch today for my Times sub, still grinding my teeth about it. But the Graun has lost me forever, and I've been reading it for roughly 26 years.

Today I helped StickerWoman by putting up my 20 stickers - 10 small ones and 10 A5 spelling out the issues (I think these are more effective for getting people to go home and look up the issues).
I was with dh and I have decided I am a StkickerNinjaWoman because I managed to put up 10 stickers whilst next to him/talking to him without him noticing (he doesn't know his dw is a stealth-StickerWoman Wink).

BingBongSong · 29/09/2018 22:11

Took my ManFriday tote bag out to town with dd.

I've shared some posts on my social media for the first time and been met with a mainly positive response. I'm still feeling fired up after this week's meetings!

Iused2BanOptimist · 29/09/2018 23:55

Donated to FairPlayforWomen and ordered a Woman Adult human female t shirt.

Also I appear to have peaked someone on Twitter. I don't want to be too outing but she has 10k followers, campaigns in a relevant area re safeguarding, has talked to John Humphries on R4, and yet amazingly seemed to know nothing about the GRC and was outraged after watching the FPFW videos! It showed me how little most people know about all this. Hopefully she will spread the word among her followers.

I have some flyers in my baggie to take tomorrow to family.

@petramum Flowers

Today

I felt so inspired and so much respect for women coming together that even when shit happens they find a way.

I came back online to speak up even though under alias

I watched the one who got his arsed owned on sky get his arsed owned again on twitter. Karma

I reported and successfully got twitter post removed that was photo of Posie in uniform doing hilter salute

I followed lots of men on twitter who united in standing up for women

I found some truely inspiration transwomen on twitter who united in womens right Leeds event and I learnt the abuse they receive from trans activist

And that my DS will continue to be taught to be equal respective to women.

InWomensProtection · 30/09/2018 00:35

Oh I also contacted my local council enquiring if they been stonewalled also teaching out to universities

InWomensProtection · 30/09/2018 00:35

Reaching not teaching

Wilhelminawonka · 02/10/2018 18:44

I spoke to dds brownie leader about how upset i was after that email last week. Also sent them an email.
Told a friend that i believe her about her ex
Keep sending articles to exh and talking to him about it all.

Thethiniceofanewday · 02/10/2018 20:03

I defended Graham Linehan when a commenter on a mutual friend's FB post called him a TERF. I was timid and wrote 'TERF is a slur' rather than 'women don't have penises' because my friend would not have welcomed a bunfight.

  • I spoke to three friends and peaktransed them. They have promised to fill out the consultation and one took leaflets to hand out at her workplace.
  • I was very kindly assisted by the women of FWR who gave me information on these issues in Canada so I am now armed with information to show a Canadian relative.
  • I left fpfw leaflets in my community centre
  • I entirely accidentally sent a family whatsapp group a screenshot of something someone said on here that I was keeping because I thought it was so powerful and one family member is calling me tomorrow to discuss because she’s intrigued (I genuinely meant to send them a meme Blush)
Iused2BanOptimist · 03/10/2018 12:32

Today someone at work told me about Posie on This Morning. It peak transed her. When I get home I am going to order her a T shirt. I have to be quite careful at work but I think I can give out a few FairPlay leaflets to selected people.

Wilhelminawonka · 03/10/2018 16:07

Spoke to a mum at school about the gc stuff. She wants lots to read

MrsFogi · 03/10/2018 22:44

Today I emailed my gym to find out about their policy in relation to self-id (and who could use the women's changing facilities). If the response is to say men can use the women's changing rooms I will be cancelling my membership and telling them why.
Oh, and I put up a load of stickers.

FlippinFumin · 07/10/2018 16:16

Today I finally completed the consultation document. Today I also emailed my MP (again) to ask her to go speak to and listen to the three groups of lovely ladies giving up their time to go and explain something to some MPs who should know all this shit anyway.
