Today I drove past a woman wearing a ‘Woman: adult human female’ tshirt

I wanted to pull over, get out of the car and give her a massive, Covid rule-breaking hug. Honestly, it made my day. There she was, just strolling up the road in the sunshine, in her T-shirt. And I felt for a second like maybe the world isn’t completely going mad.

My friend of 20 odd years recently dumped me for being gender critical and I’ve been hurting. So that little gesture of female solidarity was very welcome today.

Thank you, adult human female woman, whoever you are!

Sorry to hear you got dumped by a friend - if it's any consolation I'm sure there are loads of us on here who know how it feels.

You'll soon make lots of far more interesting and thoughtful friends - there are so many lovely people in the GC world!

Last week I saw woman with the t-shirt & a bag, in my local shop. I was about to go up to her and say great t-shirt, but she'd gone by the time I worked my way around the one way system.

So if that was you 'in the Co-op on the Poets'. Hi!

Super! Very uplifting to know that all over the country, women (the cunty types) are having subversive moments.

bakingdemon · 25/03/2021 13:32

I would like one of these. Anyone know where to buy them?

I'm sorry, I genuinely do not understand what this post is about. Please can someone explain, why women feel the need to wear a t shirt explaining what a woman is? What else would a woman be?

donkey86 · 25/03/2021 14:09

I so wish I was brave enough to wear one of those, or even carry the bag. But living in a particularly woke area of a very woke city I’m not sure it would be safe. I couldn’t even let my husband see it as we’ve fallen out over this before. Ugh.

I’d also put on it straight white female and proud.

Not super straight then?

OP, I know the feeling. Smile

Dr Harrop can explain it:

^ This. Doesn't it make you question why so many on here have this experience?

Most likely not, but really so much of this is simply out of touch, when the majority of women don't see this sort of gatekeeping of the patriarchal gender structure as making any sense.

I want freedom, not defined boundaries and fear limiting my ability to live my life to its fullest, and not locked in.

gardenbird48 · 25/03/2021 14:20

that is brilliant OP!! I am going to treat myself to a t shirt (or maybe a sweatshirt if they do one - I tend to feel the cold).

I've got the bag though - haven't spotted any others yet but come the end of lockdown..... Grin Grin

yeah Mishy safeguarding and privacy are soo last century. Hmm

How do you know it is the majority of women - have you asked them? Because you would be the first....

Ritascornershop · 25/03/2021 14:21

Mishy, when you say “the majority of women”, is that anecdotal evidence? I find it hard to believe that the majority of women don’t believe in biology.

None of us know either, but yet apparently some people think it's a controversial statement. However, they never seem to be able to provide a coherent explanation.

Any takers? Mishy?

SunsetBeetch · 25/03/2021 14:37

I've never been dumped by a friend for my views. I find that so weird. I'm sorry for anyone who has. You may however find you make new ones:I certainly have.

NecessaryScene1 · 25/03/2021 14:37

I think we can give MishyJDI "freedom", where "freedom" is defined as a small jam-filled biscuit.

Don't lock me in by boundary-keeping my definitions.

Good question.

Holothane · 25/03/2021 15:13

Let’s see super straight would shag Peter Capaldi and Eric Roberts in a heartbeat, yes naughty of me but I know what you mean it’s a if being straight is not allowed anymore.

BlackeyedSusan · 25/03/2021 16:24

Oh gi'or necessaryscene, some of us are trying to lose weight and mentioning small jam filled biscuits is not.helpful.

Not yet spotted one.

I'd love to too but afraid it would land me in a confrontation.
I will go a long way to avoid confrontation, yet (or because?) as a child I had no problem speaking up for truth and fairness.
I have a couple of lovely feminist tshirts that I wear at home, usually under a jumper Blush
