Hi Mumsnet, sorry I'm intruding when I don't have children myself. I'm 60, and due to my own body dysphoria when a child, I made the decision at age 10 not to have them, so that was 'job done'!
Anyway, in February this year I was cancelled by the UK communist newspaper the Morning Star. I was a regular cartoonist with them for 5 years. They published an ( allegedly) transphobic cartoon of mine about the proposed changes to the GRA ( it was about women- only spaces) and then made a public apology, and I have an ongoing dispute with them about granting me Right of Reply, so I will not go into that here.

So this kickstarted my active feminism. In my teens and 20s I actively campaigned against discrimination of gay people, and for women's rights. I'm now supporting the LGB Alliance and ReSistersUnited because as we all know, gay people need support now as much as they did back in the 70s and 80s.

I've now made available my cartoons for free to any feminist or free speech campaigner who wants to use them. You can screen- shot them from my website or email me for a better quality jpeg or pdf.

Here's my GC cartoon strip, "Tales from The Big Pink Book" about a class of little kids running rings round their terribly right- on teachers:
www.spanglefish.com/thebigpinkbook

And on my main website you can see more, on the 'Feminist fight- back' page and the 'Smiling through Covid' page:
www.spanglefish.com/stellaillustrator

I think I'm the only female cartoonist in the UK regularly publishing (almost daily, on my own sites and on spinster.xyz) GC and orthodoxy- critical cartoons. You will see what I mean when you have a look at them.
There is a Japanese GC comic strip being shared on spinster, and there is stonetoss, who does very occasional feminist cartoons, but we are a very small bunch.

Best wishes to all on Mumsnet for your essential campaigning work!

This stonetoss?

This looks interesting OP. Off to look.

PotholeHellhole · 15/03/2021 15:44

You're not intruding! It might be on mumsnet, but what here really is, is a feminist space on the internet that doesn't denigrate parenthood and older women to be cool. (Which can be a problem elsewhere.) You don't need to be a mother to post here!

But gawd, it says it all that you're being concerned about intruding.

Anyway, welcome. Pull up a cushion and get stuck in. You can namechange if you'd prefer to join in other discussions anonymously. (In your place, I would- you've been cancelled quite enough.)

There are lots of us without children here Stella, you're very welcome!

DaisiesandButtercups · 15/03/2021 16:35

Welcome Stella, I am following you on Spinster as of today. Thanks to bonnecher for bumping.

Thanks for sharing here.

Bloodyhamabeads · 15/03/2021 16:49

You are very welcome here Stella, children or no.
Your cartoons sound interesting, sometime satire and visuals are the best way to get a point across.

ArabellaScott · 15/03/2021 16:53

Hi, Stella. Welcome!

Luckychant · 16/03/2021 17:46

Stonetoss is a white supremacists.

Weren't you cancelled for racism as well?

This strikes me as pretty racist: s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/s3.spanglefish.com/s/12807/pictures/vbig/another-tasty-morsel.jpg

And who is the sole beneficiary you refer to when attacking those criticising Jeremy Corbyn? And why did you portray them with a large nose and bags of gold on their desk?

But so long as she's on 'our side', who cares about the racism right?
