It's worth joining Medium so that you can applaud articles you like.

GulagsMyArse · 05/10/2018 11:51

He's great, will have a look later.

From tom below
If men truly care about recognising and ending violence against women, then it’s time we publicly acknowledge and oppose this new version of misogyny disguised as progressiveness. It is nothing more than an erosion of women and their rights, in an effort to expand and cement male entitlement and supremacy in the last possible place it could be; the very definition of woman.

Brilliant article, step by step, clear, nails the heart of it. I will inflict a copy of that on my MP, particularly the 'do you want to see an end to abuse to women and girls across the world?' bit. Because it's going to take a brave man to look me in the eye and say no.

Thanks for that SturdyEarmuffs.
I've got so much time for Tom Farr.
He's a superb writer and so consistent in the quality of his output.
Would love his articles to reach the mainstream.
Think I will sign up to Medium, good idea.

Great article, thanks for sharing

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 05/10/2018 14:15

That is a superb article,.goes through everything point by point, and demolishes TRAs

AbsintheFriends · 05/10/2018 14:37

I should be working. I shouldn't be reading non-work stuff now. But I'm so glad I did.

Tom Farr is a fantastic writer and commentator. This needs to be shared widely (thanks sturdyearmuffs!)

ChrysanthemumsAreMums · 05/10/2018 15:06

Great article.

VickyEadie · 05/10/2018 15:17

This is brilliant. Sharing widely.

ElfrideSwancourt · 05/10/2018 16:22

It's an excellent article; thanks for sharing it.

NoRunAround · 05/10/2018 17:25

Superb. It's a long read but well worth reading. He sets out everything clearly.

StaffiesAndPonies · 05/10/2018 17:57

Great article, and the section by the intersex advocate, Claire, is particularly powerful.

LiverpoolReSisters · 05/10/2018 18:59

Always a pleasure to read his articles.

chicklingpixies · 05/10/2018 19:04

Another fab article from Tom. He gets it.

Floisme · 05/10/2018 19:19

That's so good - and he sounds like a nice young man too as my mum would have said.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 05/10/2018 20:15

An excellent article.

stillathing · 05/10/2018 21:06

This is so good thanks Tom Farr.

I have been struggling to understand how people who think themselves woke apparently understand the structural power imbalances inherent to racism but not with sexism.

I love that he recounts the awkward story from his past. It's such a gift to admit when you were wrong and to be willing to share how your thinking has changed. Trans activism by contrast seems to be so much entitled chiding and shouting and so devoid of thought.

ohello · 05/10/2018 23:36

wow. How is it that... oh dear afraid I can't even ask the question for fear that would count as a "three strikes and I'm banned"...

How is it that this man can identify so clearly the problem and speak so harshly against transgenderism, and... not have been murdered yet?

ohello · 05/10/2018 23:59

ack, mumsnet probably thinks I'm weird... I wasn't sure how to phrase my previous comment, posted it anyway, and then regretted it.

um yes I am confused about the trans policy commenting guide, how can you tell? Blush

ErrolTheDragon · 06/10/2018 00:46

Very good (and funny in places)
