What we did was amazing. We pulled the GUardian, Parliament, the House of Lords, the media, out of a position they were determined to have, we changed the debate, we showed women were a political force, we acted, all over the country we acted. In different ways. We were bound by the GRA review and as soon as that was done it was evident that power relations had recreated within a social movement. Yes some people by reflex did things that they would always have done. Now we get to relearn and renegotiate power relations by saying we dont play the way media tribalists did. Whatever fall outs there have been were always going to hapen but we still did that. Thats why htis board is permanently monitored by nutcases and acually the power we demonstrated is directly at the root of the toxic fallouts and is a mark of success in itself. Political spectrum reforming within this movement is alright, but it probably pays to remember how amazing what we achieved was and letting that guide what we can achieve., We changed the conversation we can keep doing that. Easily. By having the conversation we want and not bowing to social media tribalism that hides all sorts of nasties and existing political orgs. And learning in a way they cant.

It’s all Lisa’s fault.
The raisins
Now the raisins is pure batshittery

PositivelyPERF · 28/01/2019 23:35

Positively Perf- you use OAT milk on weetabix? Really? Am all for respect for difference but thats a bit weird.

Well, let’s put it this way, if we’re ever surrounded by TRAs, just hand me a glass of dairy. Believe me, they’d sound clear out, as would my bowels. I could be the WND (Woman of Male Despair)

littlbrowndog · 28/01/2019 23:36

Geewhiz. Boring drone

lisamuggeridge · 28/01/2019 23:36

That could be quite cool am not going to lie Positively Perf. Thats a weapon that could have uses. Many uses.

Does God really love a trier?

Oldermum156 · 28/01/2019 23:37

The fact is no matter how loud the TRAs shriek, the majority, even if they have been quiet about it, in no way whatsoever agree that trans"women" are real women. They may be fine with them having jobs and housing rights and being treated humanely in society, and may be polite to their face as many polite people are just generally polite, but few people truly think anything other than dick = man and vagina = female.

The only reason people haven't said more about it is because either they felt bullied, they didn't know about the movement at all, or they didn't even take it seriously enough to bother saying anything about it.

lisamuggeridge · 28/01/2019 23:37

Geewhizz you seem to be preoccupied with very specific things. You do know its a bit of a giveaway?

Can someone explain WBH to me?

I give DC weetabix and banana (sliced, then each slice chopped into quarters) every single morning, and now I'm concerned I should be saving up a therapy fund or that they're going to start chanting the Childline phone number at me.

littlbrowndog · 28/01/2019 23:38

Is their a god Lang ?

lisamuggeridge · 28/01/2019 23:39

''Does God really love a trier?''
Face of Mt Everest being littered with corpses says no, he thinks we should all not try and we should stay home eating ice cream and weetabix. Oh god would Weetabix work like brown bread in ice cream?

littlbrowndog · 28/01/2019 23:39

There. Ffs I thought I was getting better with the spelling
I blame Lang for my spelling

LangCleg · 28/01/2019 23:40

WEETABIX ICE CREAM!

(I'm going to bed now. Night all.)

Pollyanna was the one with the Glad Game, was it not?

Yes it was and I am glad that there are so many women up and down the country who are making such an effort so that we know more about changes in the law and what they will mean to us. Because government has not got our backs.

And I am glad that so many women went out and decorated those few statues of women with the t-shirts with the dictionary definition of Woman. They are inspiring and have made me smile all day.

I am glad that we have such women in this world, because we need them, and that so many of them come onto Mumsnet.

SonicVersusGynaephobia 1. We have a sock puppet infestation. They are very cross. And preoccupied with very specific things.

  1. Perf has volunteered to be a shit bomb if we ever need one.
  2. We are all now eating Weetabix. Yesterday it was Camp Coffee.

I dunno whats happening but the Weetabix are good, if evidence am suggestible..

How about declaring a woman's child to be the product of rape? Do you think that was sisterly?

MN response? Cupcakes and Asterix and Weetabix.

littlbrowndog · 28/01/2019 23:41

All the lols at geewhiz. All of them

WEETABIX ICE CREAM! Bleuggghhhhhhhhh

AnneHutchinson · 28/01/2019 23:41

(Formerly Elizabeth Jennings)

I think WBH sounds very good, provided Wheetabix is what I think it is — like a big Shreddie — and not wheat-gruel.

What I cannot abide is Ribena.

littlbrowndog · 28/01/2019 23:42

But the spelling the spelling

lisamuggeridge · 28/01/2019 23:42

Am not being funny but with the sock uppets and weetabix we have overlooked the very important offer of a human shitbomb should we need one. I think this may well turn out to be the most significant aspect of this conversation and something we will all have to consider using at some point,

PositivelyPERF · 28/01/2019 23:43

But I think the fact she goes on so very, very much

Grin
lisamuggeridge · 28/01/2019 23:43

I thikn genuinely weetabix would work in much the same way as brown bread crusts and could actually really work in ice cream. It does that gelatinous thing with the wheat.
