GC is a slur, we need to abandon it and call ourselves something that doesn't come off as critical and negative. I was thinking something like sex based rights SBR or pro womens rights PWR (PrO WomEs Rights = power = PoWeR).
Only issue is Maya getting GC specifically protected, so can it even be changed as GC has become tainted and not seen as progressive.
Something nice catchy and fresh.

Bit overwhelmed so i may blabber on, DD friend is nb, used to come over before lockdown, DD and friend would be over after school, i would use normal language "would you girls like to get something to eat or drink" DD says i can't say that, if i asked how she is or will she come over next week, that I'm using the wrong words, that her friend is "enbi" (her spelling). Had a few slip ups like that, the friend literally remains the same so easy mistake to make. The enbi friend doesn't come over anymore, lockdown was a good excuse to stop coming over entirely.

So i said i was non binary gnc, now I'm parent or (hubbys name) wife/partner, (my mother's name) child, no more shouting MAAAAM or mum which i miss, DH is having a field day over this, they are both taking the piss and im not actually non binary so its really getting to me. DD and DH both teaming up against me. I've stopped doing everything now, they had pizza because he can't cook, i had some nice rich tea on the sofa and left crumbs everywhere, it's where DH has been sleeping since this unfolded. Trying to sort this mess out and return to normal. Anyways i don't recommend anyone else try this stunt, it may backfire horribly.

Did you really do this OP?

I would have thought that suggesting to change your name to something more ‘anime’ would have indicated that I was not being serious.

Doesn't sound like it's backfiring to me, cook something delish for yourself and enjoy it while it lasts!

My sprog had a go at me because I'd referred to their nb friend as she. Unfortunately,, while I was wondering where in our tiny kitchen she was hiding, and I could really use that space for a food processor, the moment passed. Should the matter arise again I'd say 'no-one dictates to me how I speak in my own house'.
Sorry, the whole nb backfired, at least you can now say you feel qualified as to how ridiculous it all is.

Wow your husband is a bully. That's your real issue here.
He needs to learn that you are a team and to put on a united front for DD. Any disagreement needs to be agreed upon approach I'm privacy. Sounds like he is being a bigger child than your actual child.
As for the he can't cook lark, I wouldn't be cooking until he learns. Not being able to cook is just an excuse used by men who don't want to do it. Can he read and watch a YouTube video on how to turn his oven on? Then he can cook.
Your husband sounds sexist op, no wonder he aligns with this batshit.

At this point "atheist" could almost stand in for Gender Critical.

I'll stick with GC though, it fits. And I'll also keep TERF, which I wasn't a year ago and have become thanks to TRAs ruining it for women.

And why didn't you order pizza for yourself op?
Because if DH holds the finances and won't provide food for you that's borderline abusive.

On reflection, "feminist" on its own is enough. If anyone chooses to identify as a feminist wanting/permitting transwomen to access women's single-sex spaces etc. they are welcome to label themselves as such, preferably also justifying how their position doesn't impact women's existing rights.
