Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

I have a retraction to make. Last year I tweeted this in response to #GetTheLOut in London.

And sueanddumplings you’ll probably not be back to this thread, but no matter, nothing bitter when Labi sings.

sueanddumplings · 25/08/2019 15:32

I'm glad you like Labi Siffre... who has made a number of tweets condemning transphobes.

3dogs2cats · 25/08/2019 15:38

Not transphobic just made really sad by self mutilation.

Oh how interesting sue I’d be interested in you sharing.

I love his music (that won’t change) and his twitter bio reads:
Atheist, Homosexual, Black, Songwriter, Musician, Singer, Poet, Social-Commentator. English, British, EU Citizen intent on retaining that triple status.

Which was interesting cos I didn’t even know he lived in the UK.

Sorry NeurotrashWarrior - I’ve been very rude Blush

This thread is for Charlie Evans.

sue if you do come back, maybe we should take it to DMs or start a new thread.

I just liked the song /artist and don’t want to dump on this thread.

Charlie ..if you are reading this thread.. I would like to get this translated into Spanish and used as a monologue in an event where I live for International women's day 2020, as part of a joint event with other monologues written by different women. Would you agree to me using some or all of your words? I would not change them , only to shorten the piece if necessary. What do you think?

Thingybob · 25/08/2019 17:35

Wow reading that brought a lump to my throat. I'm 3 times Charlies age but completely in awe of her bravery. If you are reading Charlie, please keep telling your story as I think you could be a game changer for lots of confused teenagers.

Charlie Flowers
Thank you.

Amazing thread. It highlights the harm gender ideology can do.

DodoPatrol · 25/08/2019 22:39

'it wasn't right for me so it can't be right for anyone

Sue, if there are children for whom 'it wasn't right' being led to believe that it IS right for them, past the point of no return to a healthy body -- surely you agree that that needs to be avoided?

nonsenceagain · 25/08/2019 23:18

Charlie, you absolute ⭐️

2BthatUnnoticed · 26/08/2019 03:01

I’m glad to see now, the support on Twitter vastly outnumbers the non-supportive. She is so courageous to speak out, most detransitioners (quite understandably) want to keep their heads down.

TheShoesa · 26/08/2019 07:34

Huge respect to Charlie and Thomasin for publicly saying what they have said.

Gender ideology harms everyone.

Supergranscape · 26/08/2019 07:43

So brave Charlie. Much respect to you.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 26/08/2019 08:36

Pure bravery and courage, not only standing up for what you believe is right, but also accepting you are fine as you are, it's the world that is broken.
