Dear Feminists

Having attended the cancelled "meeting" in Leeds and read through various feminists threads, I think the time has come to say, please would you speak in English (or even broken English and one distinguished musician once sang about).

Do you not realise yet that the vast majority of the "average" person on the street has no clue what the hell you go one about? If however you were to say "do you think it is a good idea to sterilise young people?" you might actually get a response.

Here are my "labels": Woman; Conservative: Catholic; Biologist.

Oh shit I see in the aisles.

Do you not yet realise that the whole issues of transsexualism with regard to children and young people crosses political and ideological boundaries?

Do you not think that the average family is disgusted and appalled?

Just stop with the "linguistic register" and talk to people on a human level - you might be surprised how many "allies" you have.

Just for the record - Tish does not speak for me as a parent, I was offended that she could even go there, I do not know you and you cannot speak for me. Karen - all I learned from you is how many ways to kill another person - what that has to do with changes in legislation is beyond me.

Get off your ideological high horses and communicate on a human level, using accessible language that people actually understand.

Thank you

You know we do speak in English quite a lot in our ordinary lives and are perfectly capable of explaining things to people. My label: human.

For someone demanding that people speak English I have no idea what you are trying to say.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 06/10/2018 23:33

After you...

You've seen Posie Parker right?

And you know that being direct and blunt is difficult when you get banned off the entire Internet right? TRAs don't like it, cos they know it ruffles feathers. It also why they harass women who do it most.

I've seen lots of people with different ways of talking on this subject.

Sciencelover101 · 06/10/2018 23:38

No not ok in the least but thanks for asking

Of course it does. So why did you come on to so many threads and make comments about it being all the fault of the left and feminists? Transgender ideology is anti-woman and therefore anti feminist, so why people want to blame feminists for it is beyond me.

And as for your comment on another thread about 'welcome to right wing politics'... why say that if you're aware it's not a left-right issue?

Sciencelover101 · 06/10/2018 23:39

I was also banned from twitter for stating biological facts so yes I get it

I was with you until the paragraph starting with 'Just for the record'... then I got lost, which is funny considering the title of your thread.

Hidingtonothing · 06/10/2018 23:41

Great, I’ve woken DC up laughing now, thanks a bunch Sharon Angry

PerverseConverse · 06/10/2018 23:43

Full moon has been and gone already but it wouldn't surprise me if there was another one tonight! I've been without WiFi or mobile data since breakfast and have come back home to find all kinds of weird shit on here tonight.

ErrolTheDragon · 06/10/2018 23:44

It's not us who don't want to speak in plain English.

Woman - adult human female.

Women don't have penises.

Humans can't change sex.

Is that what you want? Because we've said it often enough.Confused

CharlieParley · 06/10/2018 23:47

Funny. Those "average" people on my local high street had no problem understanding me today. Because I don't need anyone to tell me how to approach an average person. I am an average person.

But if you mean to say we're too educated, too opinionated, too intellectual, too wrapped up in empirical data and feminist theory here on the FWR board to be understood by the average woman on the street, I just wonder:

Does women having an intelligent, informed discussion scare you?

Karen honouring women who've been murdered by men, you find that pointless?

Are you a man?

Sciencelover101 · 06/10/2018 23:48

I am sodding angry, is that ok? Or do I need some sort of oppression medal to state that human fact?

What angers me and other people that live in the "real world" is that feminists seem to think they are the only ones fighting this toxic ideology when the reality is that we are fighting in our own ways.

We do not whinge and whine about the state of the world we take action in more subtle ways, ordinarily without annoying other people. You seem to think you have the moral high ground but the reality is that in my limited experience the message I got from the meeting is that you are just as hateful as the trans activists on the other side of Millennium Square.

I have never felt so threatened by both sides of the argument, so intimated by both sides and totally alienated.

Did Tish come and speak with me? Who dares to speak for parents? NO

Did Karen come to speak to me as someone who has experienced violence at the hand of the trans agenda? No

HYPOCRITES of the largest magnitude.

Thank you and goodnight

Sciencelover101 your OP makes no sense. I advance searched you and you've a total of 15 posts, all made in the last hour.

Lemon drizzle, anyone?

RedToothBrush · 06/10/2018 23:50

You are attacking people who are objecting to 'pregnant people' and 'menstruaters' and 'cis'.

Why?

I'm loving the t-rexing

FastWindow · 06/10/2018 23:50

Who is Tish?
Who is Karen?
Are you on glue op? Confused

CharlieParley · 06/10/2018 23:52

Well, I was hoping this is was our typical male TRA, but this is lost on me. Have I missed something? Where is this hostility coming from? I went to a WPUK meeting and hate is the last thing I experienced there.

AornisHades · 06/10/2018 23:53

You've been awfully busy in the last hour.
