I found this thread to be very encouraging! And amusing!

Thank you! A lovely read for a sleepless night!

reality-based tweeting for the win!

Lovely start to the day, thank you!

Ha! Excellent

Wow. I hope he read all those replies!

Wow

*Cis means "not a trans woman".

So if you go around saying "Not cis!" well, people are bound to think you're saying you are trans.

I'm a cis woman myself: I don't see a problem with identifying myself as not trans.*

FUUUUCCCCKKKK OFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!

Sorry, bold fail.

When I read Sam Levin and that US Guardian piece it really helps me understand the words ‘President Trump’.

That was most entertaining

Well put, Floisme. My thoughts exactly.

The absolute fucking state of the American "left"

Most of my American friends would never speak to me again if they knew my views on this.

That was fantastic. Is there the tiniest chance that reality is starting to return?

I thought this response was beautifully put

You tell us our fear is ungrounded, but take away the language to describe reality at the same time, so by a sleight of hand the world is as you want it and we can never prove otherwise. It's gaslighting of the first order to force ppl to deny what's in front of their eyes.

Right, but America voted in an unashamed sexual predator and misogynist as President, so we (the UK) really don't have to listen to how they think women should stand aside.

What a refreshing load of tweets!

That was very heartening! Thank you

I read through them all but didn't go for the further option with all the offensive material, is that where the rape and death threats were? Because I can't believe there weren't any, what with women having opinions based on science and all...

This has been a real "the tide has turned" moment for me.

Particularly after following the links by Helen Staniland, her crowd funded survey and follow up comments.
Also well worth a read.

@Gncq - do you have a link? Sounds encouraging!

Penny Helen Staniland is on the same Twitter thread talking about it - you need to scroll down a bit. There’s also a dude called Evan trying to make out the survey was paid for by the Christian Right donating blood diamonds. Or something. Until someone asks him whether he ever quizzes Stonewall about their transparency.
