Support thread for weary women

[AvocadoBathroom]

I think periodically I start these but it might be helpful for others too.
Just a thread of support for everyone who is feeling upset and burned out by this today. A thread to say how you feel but also add little lights to.
Sometimes my daughter says "I hate being a woman because of what we gave to deal with." and I say "We have to fight for women. We dont turn our back on ourselves." She likes this response.
She said this week that of it wasn't for all the sunlight JK Rowling has poured on this she would be trans now. Two girls in her class and counting are saying they are at school to teachers. The teachers are affirming it.
My win this week is that my beautiful Aspergers girl remains a girl.
My losses this week are energy and time. I'm also fighting a bullying case in my work with my abusive boss so I am wiped out.
I feel like this is my only safe space where you good women share energy and the will to keep fighting.

I really like avocado’s response We dont turn our back on ourselves, and also the mock latin “illegitimi non carborundum”.

We could turn “we don’t turn our backs on ourselves” into a latinised motto. I’ve had a go with online translations, and came up with this:

“ Non vertimus retro in nobis."

I have no idea whether it is a good translation or even makes sense in Latin, but I quite like it . - And our very own motto, originated on Mumsnet is quite cool.

Actually I am quite heartened by the way this issue is gaining traction.
People are speaking up and getting braver at pointing out how women are being harmed and undermined in the name of progression.
Once you see the illogicality in some of the ideas being espoused you can't un-see them.

Thank you. And it's been something that has galvanised her and made sense to her.

Thanks for this thread. I am feeling so downhearted. Non vertimus retro in nobis!

Non vertimus retro in nobis!

Don't let the knobs drag you back?

Don't let the truth be revised by knobs?

Latin not my strong suit ...
