Bristol gender critical / radfem groups?

I'm based in Bristol and wondering if anyone knows of any gender critical or radfem groups in the area? I think there was a Bristol branch of ReSisters, but their Twitter profile no longer exists. I just need to meet up with some like-minded women...

I am in Bristol and wondering the same. I was at the vigil yesterday and am just so angry at the world. I want to channel that into action...

Watching with interest as I'm in Exeter and will travel

It's a bit far off, but there will be the FiLiA conference. Should be possible to meet people from our cities there.

This student society says it’s open to all women regardless of student status. Might be worth contacting Raquel Rosario Sanchez?

You can get in touch with resisters UK and see if there is still a group in the sw.

MeltsAway · 15/03/2021 14:39

Ditto - a bit further afield, but can travel (eventually when it's safe)

I did a quick google, and this came up:

www.bristolfeministnetwork.com/

Not sure if it's GC/radfem enough?

If anyone has any knowledge on this group I'd be grateful to know.

If nothing is forthcoming on this thread, maybe we should start our own?

Some resources here:

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I emailed ReSisters - I'll update here if they get back to me.

I'll definitely be going to FiLiA this year. I know it's a long way off but if anyone else from the Bristol area is going, we could arrange to meet up when we're there?

Following this. I’m also Bristol based and have very few people in real life to discuss this with.

greennugget · 15/03/2021 19:12

ditto! would love to meet when lockdowns lax!

Following too.

JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown · 15/03/2021 19:50

Following. Not in Bristol but I'm near by.

PatsArrow · 15/03/2021 20:29

Following too. I'm in Bristol. I know if 2 other real life friends who are GC but we're very anonymous and only 'out' to each other atm.

We were planning on doing some stickering after lockdown.

I'd love to help. My Bristol friends are all deep in the TRA cult. It's really really lonely.

Hello! longtime lurker from Bristol, friends almost 100% twaw. Think the BFN is dead- looks like nothing on their twitter since 2014 and pretty sure some definitely-not-GC people I know used to be involved with it as well. Not aware of any other groups either...

I'm further South West but could do a day trip to Bristol if there was a meetup - my closest friends are twaw and it's a very small community so I daren't raise it further.

There is a Bristol Radical Feminists group on FB. They post every now and then, but I'm not sure how active they are IRL, especially with covid and all.

OnTheSeaShore · 16/03/2021 10:39

Just down the road in Weston. Nice to find some local voices. 🙂

OK last post got deleted. Not sure why but can guess. In a nutshell, I am also in Bristol and would be interested in a meet up with other like minded individuals in a safe way.

Yeval · 16/03/2021 19:23

I missed your first post @TheGrandHighWitch! But great that so many women here are interested. I already feel a bit more hopeful.

Count me in too. Comforting to know so many vipers in this little city!
