Need a handhold... Made a stand in a public arena

[Womansisterdaughtermother]

Hello
I've been lurking here for yrs and made a v public stand against gender ideology today after mulling it over for about a week. I feel sick to my core now and was wondering did anyone else feel similarly or if anyone would be able to pm me for a chat....

Thanks Motions... This quote is speaking to me a lot.

You are braver than me and I am grateful to you for speaking out 💐

Eyesopening, igmum and Chewton I am really feeling the comfort of your kind words.

Thank you OP.

Well done op. I post questions on my social media to make people think and start discussions. I don't tell them my viewpoint 100% but try and get people to question some of the bullshit. If it came to it, I'd say what I thought because of the reasons pp have mentioned. I'm not going to lie.

Well done. In what context did you speak out?

@MrsWooster

Avoid engaging in any and all discussions that feature the word trans. Everything you do (I assume) is for women so keep every comment about women. “This is about women and girls’ rights” “but what about...” “It’s about women and girls, human females, who are disadvantaged by means of their sex.” “But .... are ......” “Human females, discriminated therefore protected on the grounds of biology.” Repeat til it’s necessary to block or walk away. You are in the right and (I assume) wouldn’t discriminate against trans rights, so hold the line that you are simply, firmly advocating FOR women.

Great advice. Unfortunately it's not very difficult to get called a Terf these days. Just trying to have a civilised discussion on the pros and cons of gender self ID will usually do it especially if you have any of your own opinions on the subject.

Bad idea..

@Womansisterdaughtermother

Part of what I did was object to policy that all members be encouraged to signal their preferred pronouns.

Well done. When over 90% of the population is cis ( apologies for the offensive word) why does everyone need to suddenly make they're pronouns noted at every introduction?

It's just a little bit silly. I'm all for trans rights but isn't anyone going to rein in the more bizarre demands from TRAs any more?

DeRigueurMortis excellent post
