They tweeted and posted this on Facebook yesterday.

So many women pushing back!
Also noted: there are a lot more TRAs on twitter than FB on my feeds.

Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Trans rights are human rights. This is not up for debate. #TransDayOfVisibility
With the blue and pink man/woman symbol.

[Other news in the US: The Kelsey Group are organizing in advance of the judiciary committee mtg Tuesday. Lot's of phoning Senators today about transing kids. If anyone is interested I could start a new thread on that. Not sure if mumsnetters mind, but we have nothing like this.]

Would love a thread like you suggested!

But I am also American and weary of encroaching too far into this sacred space.

What happens in the US is relevant to most of the world.
When things happen there, they tend to get exported. So I think most women here would be interested in such a thread.

Like the "love your body" poster contest. It's great to love your body unless you really really really hate it. In which case, that's fine too - we're with you all the way!

It's all in the number of really s!

YY, I would.

I would also.

Feminism doesn't have borders.

We have posters/lurkers from all over the English speaking world in here, we should definitely have threads that reflect this!

Sorry... meant to also say, it's absolutely fine to have this thread, imho.

A thread about the USA's response to all this men's rights cobblers would be great. And it's very cheering to read the comments under that barkingly stupid tweet. Women are seriously not impressed!

Yes please to USA thread.

Agreed.

I think it's good to know what else is happening and where.

Well all these responses are heartening. It can get pretty lonely out here in the land of wide open spaces.

I have learned so much from UK feminists.

In solidarity

Off to start a thread about the Kelseys and the HRC
