The FWR Magdelen Berns memorial awards for Feminism 2019 *Title edited at OP's request*

[TinselAngel]

Now granted, I've not fully fleshed this idea out, but in the light of @theflushedzebra pointing out that trans activists never seem to stop giving each other awards, we should have our own virtual FWR awards for services to feminism in 2019.

As the founder of this ceremony, I expect designers will be queuing up to allow me to "wear" them.

Post your nominations below, and feel free to describe how fabulous you look at the ceremony!

My nomination for best British female solo artist goes to : Maya Forstarter for grace and clarity under considerable pressure.

Oh wow. So many amazing women, I've found more present, active and amazing female role models to admire in the last year than I'd run across in my life before. (And almost none of them figure in public life.)

Another vote for Fair Play for Women
Maya Forstater and Julie Bindel, obviously.
The FWR posters lost in action who fell to the ban hammer for truthing.
Anne Ruzylo, one of the speakers on this who has been at the Womens Place events and who really makes me think- that's the calibre of speaker and person who should be leading a Labour Party that would be both electable and functional.
Oh so much Magdalen.
Joanna Cherry and Joan McAlpine
Datun. Obvs.
Peach yoghurt, another brilliant speaker
Jane Clare Jones for every single tweet and article written

Meghan Murphy in the International category?

This thread has cheered me right up!

The Filia team for outstanding services to feminist organising.

tehbewilderness for her Rules of Misogyny.

Gone but not forgotten (from FWR)

I should have called them the Magdalen Berns awards really

You still can!

Posie Parker for best performance in a live TV debate segment

Julia Long for the Daring To Sit On A Woke Chair Award.

Helen Watts for whistleblowing

#ManFriday for the ponds

Dr Louise Moody for the tenacity award.

Let’s also remember the wonderful Deborah Orr 💕

Yes yes yes to all of these. All worthy recipients.

So what are these awards going to look like? Obviously they will NOT be phallus shaped. The dagger has already been claimed by the crime writers association.

So what are these awards going to look like?

I'm torn between a vulva and a raised fist. Or boobies.

How about one of those flowers that looks like a vulva?

Another nomination for TinselAngel for services to TransWidows and for opening our eyes to the tragic impact on wives and children of late transitioners

Sadly missed from FWR the Bewilderness and her rules

Best article Pronouns are Rohypnol Barracker

McKinnon- Best sherpa

No more nominations for me, or else it'll look like I started the thread so people would praise me!

Feminazgul I was going to nominate Yaniv for those invaluable services.

How about one of those flowers that looks like a vulva

Loving this hairy one.

Maya Forstater for tenacity and not bowing down

Charlie Evans for newcomer

Sharon Davies for sports

Madeleine Kearns in the journalism/writing category
Nic Williams specifically re FPFW
Ani O'Brien in NZ in the International Category
DrFondofBeetles/Emma Hilton in the science category - and Gina Rippon

Isn't it wonderful that there are so many to list, so many to choose from.

I could very easily get carried away and imagine the awards ceremony with those hairy flowers everywhere!

imagine the awards ceremony with those hairy flowers everywhere!

Hopefully they're not carnivorous.

Can this be the award?

That would be amazing in bronze!
