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
