To be clear I believe an Adult Female is a woman. Have done crowdfunding for judicial reviews etc - signed the JKR thing ( although I do think that is more do not say thing which are hateful) . Have written to MPs etc

So my question is - apart from general support - what could I usefully do.

I am on the low slopes rather than the top of the mountain

Advice appreciated.

Me too. Watching with interest. I'm feeling particularly helpless watching the direction of travel currently, and would like to do something useful to the women's rights cause.

Do you dare to speak about the issues publicly? It matters because a lot of people have no idea what is going on. I’ve been speaking quietly to friends and colleagues and have been surprised how many actually agree that women’s sports, prisons, spaces, facilities ought to be only for females and that data should be correct.

As the lawsuits increase the pressure to ensure women’s rights are endorsed will become stronger and people will feel emboldened to say so.

I always say that I am not “anti” trans, because I’m not; everyone should be able to live as they wish. It’s also important to ensure that others’ rights stop where my rights begin.

Hi everyone, I've just published my political cartoon review of the year, it's on your GC Chrissie present thread.
It is GC and Free Speech, the perfect prezzie for the 'Snowflake' in your life!
Maybe discussing the issues it highlights will help your family/ friends to tiptoe over that GC line!

I've been cancelled twice this year, I'm still here, and it has made me more determined to take part in real life activism. So I've been to two Standing for Women Speakers Corners, and interviewed on 2 podcasts this year. ( on feministcurrent.com and faircop.org)
I hope to be doing some more , with publicity for my book.

My attitude is: they didnt cancel a cartoonist, they created a campaigner!

Have courage.

I don’t know where to look; can you give a link to the correct location please?

Hi everyone, my cartoon review of the year, " 2020, The Year We Were All Cancelled!" Is now up on Amazon, Book Depository, Booksellers.uk, Barnes & Noble, and Goidreads, with more coming soon. Consider getting it for your slightly woke friends for Christmas! Sometimes a cartoon can reach where hours of argument cannot!
Here is a review with links to it:

This is a good question. I'm wondering the same thing. I watch with interest.

Hi ClaireP20,
Seriously, getting a copy of my book for your Snowflake friends for Christmas would definitely start some discussions round the Christmas dinner! It is the ONLY cartoon review published in 2020, which is openly GC, Free Speech, supports JKR, supports the right of cartoonists and artists around the world ( and their outets) to exercise their freedom of expression. Publishing it ( my first ever book) is my reply to all the hate I had on Twitter back in February when I was cancelled by the Morning Star ( who were coerced by the TUC). So just getting a copy would be one way of making a statement.
I have also used my own experience of being cancelled ( 3 times this year and counting! - For a cartoon! ) in my submission to the Parliamentary Committee on Freedom of Expression, (accepted) which has an ongoing call for evidence.
I work with faircop.org.uk, who have supported me, and my case study is on their website.
Well, these are practical things.
I would suggest joining, and advising any friends of yours who have had issues with this in their workplaces to join, the Free Speech Union, who are supporting anyone who has been discriminated against for speaking up against the Cult.
My book now has a couple of 5- stars on Goodreads:
