Bette Midler

[FireFlyBoogaloo]

Just posted on Twitter. The usual suspects are all over the replies, obviously, so give her some support if you can—but there's a surprising amount of balance. Seems to me that the scales have finally started to tip.

It was always going to be sunlight.

---WOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name! They don’t call us “women” anymore; they call us “birthing people” or “menstruators”, and even “people with vaginas”!
Don’t let them erase you! Every human on earth owes you!---

Madonna dared to say woman today....

I've literally just signed back into my long-forgotten Twitter account for the first time in 10 years to like the tweet and follow her. She's bloody amazing.

I have actually been quite encouraged to see the word 'women' on so many posts and memes relating to the overturning of Roe vs Wade. Even from people who are very much TWAW in all of their other posts.

We have spent our lives being told what to think by men who identified as men. Now a tiny ,tiny number have decided they are women and can therefore mansplain this bollocks ( which most still have) from inside our changing rooms, our toilets ,our sports teams and on and on. They aren't women. I will never, ever accept that a man can put on a wig and a dress and take some HRT and, boom , they are exactly the same as me. No, never. How dare the world be turned upside down for this . Thank god the tide is beginning to turn .

I see the word 'terfs' is now trending on twitter, with the little sub headline 'actors'. Funny how how a tweet about women's rights in the face of the abortion ban is rapidly framed by twitter as being all about the trans.

This is a longer clip of what Macy said.

I'm quite boggling at how matter fact she is!

Omg I can't see what IW said but GO MACY!

I’ve just seen a popular tweet calling Bette Midler a “rich NYC liberal”.

🧐

@WarriorN

I had a tear in my eye when she said, ‘But it’s just the truth.’

Where did SHE come from?! ❤️

Willoughby is such a prolific blocker of women on Twitter it's now awash with screenshots

Plain and simple. You cannot change the truth.

Yes she was completely matter of fact. This is good. Women no longer feeling the need to prefix what they say with a sentence or two to ensure that they are not mistaken for a transphobe. Women are cottoning on that they will be called transphobic regardless of how carefully they word what they say, so why beat around the bush.

She was also polite and has said elsewhere she supports the lgbt community. She'll use pronouns "if that's what you want." But it doesn't change the truth.

shes clear that sex matters.

I'm boggling as it's so unusual for an American celeb to be so matter of fact about this.

Lets be honest WE ALL KNOW the TWAW is a lie, 100% of us know this, if we put just Transwoman on an island with a load of Cis men, and came back in 100 years everyone on the Island would be Dead and there would be no children at all.
We do not have to live a biological lie, we may say the pronouns , but you can't make us believe it, Well done Bette,

I’m actually hurting for IW.

Who’s that blonde woman IW uses as an avatar because I’m 100% certain that’s not the IW you get in real life. Has IW stolen someone’s pic?

'Willyboy is a talentless oik with a receding hairline and a face like a puffy slapped arse. Pay no mind.'

stolen from twitter but v funny 😄

@mrshoho

True things.

Ah, that is lovely. Just down to earth and clear.

Also - Bette's tweet is on 52k likes.

I’m in awe of Macy’s plain speaking. Much respect to her and to Bette.

Is this the first major usa celeb to publicly come out as a full strength terf?
How wonderful. I've always liked Bette.

It's odd that Willoughby said that Macy had killed what's left of her career. Firstly because of all the people who's seen their career crumble it's Willoughby. Also, isn't admitting to be part of a mafia style showbiz protection racket saying the quiet bit out loud?

It’s safe to say this tweet has blown up. 56.5K likes so far…

And Macy Gray too!
