Brilliant article by our own TinselAngel.

“I ask a simple question- who is more important to the Womens’ Liberation movement: me or my ex-husband? Which of us do you chose? Because you can’t have both. The inclusion of transsexual “allies” in feminism, excludes trans widows.”

Excellent article TinselAngel you Star

That is a really great article. Well done tinsel 👍

Cuntysnark · 20/05/2020 22:07

Beautiful. Thank you tinsel.

Excellent article. The only gripe I have is the reference to transexuals. They aren't transexuals, they are transgender. You can't change your sex unless you are born as intersex.

Thank you for standing up and speaking up, Tinsel.
It is way past time political organizations asked themselves why they are displacing women with males in discussions of women's rights.

Feminist organizations and government agencies displacing women in preference to males who identify as women are perhaps the most egregious examples.

Wow Tinsel. Bloody hell, that was a powerful read. Some hard truths in their but I agree with you completely.

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 20/05/2020 22:32

Very well done tinsel 💐

GurlwiththeCurl · 20/05/2020 22:50

Fantastic, hard-hitting article.

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 21/05/2020 01:07

You put it so well Tinsel. How the hell did we get to this point in history where certain women who describe themselves as feminists have supported, lauded and prioritised particular men (with the pain, confusion and abandonment these men have caused their children and wives) over women and children? Your voice of sanity is much welcomed.

EmpressLangClegInChair · 21/05/2020 08:44

Some of them claim to identify ‘with’ rather than ‘as’ women. If they genuinely do have empathy for us, then they’ll understand why they should step away.

Great article tinsel

BigChocFrenzy · 21/05/2020 10:04

"Feminism is nothing if it does not prioritise outcomes for women and girls,
even the ones who are married to your male friends and allies,
even the ones you secretly think must have been a bit weak to get into their situation,
even the ones that stay at home, keep quiet and pretend that they are OK,
even the ones that don’t have PhDs."

👏🏼 Excellent, TinselAngel 🤛🏼

Ereshkigalangcleg · 21/05/2020 10:47

Brilliant work, Tinsel Thanks

TinselAngel · 21/05/2020 17:21

Thanks all, and thank you for allowing me to rehearse all of my arguments on here!

Excellent article. The only gripe I have is the reference to transexuals. They aren't transexuals, they are transgender.

Yes I agree it's a nonsense but for brevity I used the terminology that they use themselves in order to distinguish themselves from the self ID'ers. (Yes I know they're also self ID'ing in May cases).

TinselAngel · 21/05/2020 17:21

Many cases!

PhantomSelf · 21/05/2020 19:44

Just a simple thank you TinselAngel.
