Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

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!

There's a lovely hot pink umbrella too.

Honestly KJM is a merchandise genius.

@NecessaryScene1 thank you do much for the link, that helped me understand it a lot! My mind is blown right now 🤯 that a group had taken offence at the legal definition of woman! Wow!

ArabellaScott · 25/03/2021 17:44

I love the thought of raising that brolly. How ridiculous that I would be scared to do so.

ArabellaScott · 25/03/2021 17:45

Beautiful, it's actually lovely that you don't know what this is all about!

NecessaryScene1 · 25/03/2021 17:48

Yes! We were all there once. I don't think my eyebrows have dropped in the last 5 years.

I do hope we haven't upset the course of the next 5 years of your life too much...

Feel free to try this thread next, if you want to keep going down this rabbit hole:

(I think I might be radicalising you online. Take some Gin with you).

Helleofabore · 25/03/2021 17:56

Yes. a stiff drink is needed when first you step into the rabbit hole.

@HidingUnderARock

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
Standing for Women have 'I ❤️ JK Rowling' T-shirts on sale currently for £10 www.standingforwomen.com/product-page/i-love-jk-t-shirt. It's a really positive message that shows support but if you were involved in a confrontation you can just say you're a fan of her books. It's a nice quality 100% cotton T-Shirt. Kellie-Jay Keen (Posie Parker) has one on in this video

Their clothing size guide is here www.standingforwomen.com/size-chart.

Damnit! I got all excited about the JKR tshirt and all of you buggers got there first. Out of my size.

WarOnWomen · 25/03/2021 19:09

Also, no one would blame you for slowly backing out of the room either Beautiful

Necessary* I love the idea of a permanently raised eyebrows - no need for a facelift. There's always an upside.

RUOKHon · 25/03/2021 19:43

Wow I had not seen that link with little Harrop before. How nice of him to so comprehensively prove the point.

I wonder what he’s doing now? Last I heard he’d been struck off as a GP and had scuttled off to Australia.

You could just paint on extra set of eyebrows halfway up your forehead, it would give your facial muscles a wee rest

ArabellaScott · 25/03/2021 19:45

Dr Harrop is still registered to practise

What a shame

BitMuch · 25/03/2021 20:55

There are more women's sizes in stock in white JK Rowling t-shirts than black so make sure to check both colours. Kellie Jay has been getting new items like the umbrellas and hopefully will restock the older ones soon.

Binglebong · 25/03/2021 21:09

Sadly still no xxl (oh the joy of big boobs!) but thank you for checking.

InsideNumberNine · 25/03/2021 21:24

Having had tentative discussions with a few groups of females over the past 12 months, the vast majority have absolutely no idea about these subjects. They still think trans women are mostly post op and think trans kids are the boys that wore their sisters skirts in secret - scratch the surface of only a few issues and they’re horrified.

SunsetBeetch · 26/03/2021 07:26

You got a mention in Kellie-Jay's latest video (at about 9.56). I like the sound of the new t-shirts.

toffeebutterpopcorn · 26/03/2021 07:45

I’d love to wear one to work - but I think it would be classed as mass murder or something as my office is next to several colleges and I’m. It sure who the poor wee lambs would manage the shock...

GreggsScaryTeeth · 26/03/2021 07:55

Just bought one!

toffeebutterpopcorn · 26/03/2021 08:04

I’m still kicking myself - I was visiting a university a few years back and went to get a T-shirt for DS. In the science section there was some series that gave a sciencey definitions - and one was of ‘woman’ (I just glanced as it caught my eye but I was looking for maths stuff).

Dammit I should have bought it but I suppose they won’t be selling it now...

ForeverBubblegum · 26/03/2021 08:45

Being a fat fucker finally pays off, they still had my size in I ❤ JKR T-shirts.
