Thank you for the link!

@Dontbeme

The facilitator said this was very cool and inclusive and asked about what ‘allies’ on social media need to watch out for? Do anti-trans people tend to identify in a particular way?

E/R said “anti-trans do tend to put red squares in their profile. I don’t want to be disgusting but it’s because they have periods and it’s a way of saying transwomen don’t have periods to taunt us.”

From that Fair Cop link above, what is "disgusting" about acknowledging women have periods? Women are hated far more than I ever realised, I have spent my life thinking some men disliked\distrusted women, some men were cruel or violent to me because they saw me as less than. I am fucxing heartbroken today but glad that women like Posie and JKR have the gumption and guts to fight when women like me are out of energy.

The red square has nothing to do with periods. It's related to this.

Thank you Berties. Great comments in the main.

I'm glad you could get the link to work Berties - I couldn't get a share token either this morning. Glad to see a big article

And the red square being about periods and that being disgusting - thick and offensive - that's quite special coming from someone doing diversity training

Datun · 29/07/2020 10:35

Radcliffe, etc, evidently aren't keeping up with the news.

He's going to look hopelessly regressive and bullying when all the current court cases get more publicity.

Datun · 29/07/2020 10:37

I) as far as I know the red colour has nothing to do with menstruation.

B) if it did have everything to do with menstruation, that would be fine.

C) if you find that offensive, check your misogyny.

It was removed after Adrian Harrop, a Twitter activist, complained

Ha! Grin No "Doctor" and described as a "twitter activist" Grin.

Yes I loved that bit - Twitter activist hahahaha Grin

E/R said “anti-trans do tend to put red squares in their profile. I don’t want to be disgusting but it’s because they have periods and it’s a way of saying transwomen don’t have periods to taunt us.”

What I notice about this is not just the very revealing notion that some trans activists find periods "disgusting". It's that they think women only bring up female biology to "taunt" them. Because, to borrow Carly Simon's phrase, they're so vain, they think that everything is about them...

Do you think that JK will eventually be banned from Twitter? Graham Lineham and Posie Parker have for being GC. I really hope not but it wouldn't surprise me if they banned her.

I think that would be a massive own goal for them!

Daniel “ I got lucky because my mum is a casting director “ Radcliffe can fuck right off! Silly boy

Delphinium20 · 29/07/2020 18:50

I assumed the red square was a nod to The Handmaid's Tale. Tiny red squares are posted in the hospital to show June her escape route. Cause she's a woman escaping the patriarchal dictatorship she lives in.

I love the advert. Posie is smart. She could have her own chapter in Helen Lewis's book, Difficult Women.

I might buy the pen.

Sexnotgender · 29/07/2020 22:22

Rumour that the poster is gone?

Dreeple · 29/07/2020 22:23

Rumour that the poster is gone?

That merits some more publicity.

StandUpStraight · 29/07/2020 23:48

Posie has confirmed on YouTube. Taken down as political. Unbelievable.

Dreeple · 29/07/2020 23:50

Rowling isn’t a politician.
