Thank you, thank you, thank you

I’m a gender critical feminist and I’ve recently stopped caring at all what men think. I don’t even start conversations about it, I just refuse to censor myself or let myself be silenced anymore. I have had open conversations with my female friends, and we all agree, but are rarely brave enough to talk in public about our sex-based abuse, discrimination, rights, and protections. I have been reading GC and radical feminist books voraciously, and I’m still self-conscious in public and nervous about what people will say. It is exhausting being a woman. It’s a bit less exhausting when you feel like you have an understanding, strong community of like-minded women around you. It was this lurking on this page that emboldened me. So, thank you, ladies. Thank you for giving me the guts to speak up, or at least to stop shutting up.

Seconded.

Hear, hear.

Nope ! Too busy trying to keep myself safe as a women and to give myself the love I deserve 🌺

Welcome @h1d1ng1npla1ns1ght , I have said before and will say it again: this board saved my sanity! Glad to have you here 💐

One of the biggest differences for me is that LGB don’t need everybody, specially reluctant women to go along with what they believe to be.

The second one, LGB don’t wish to erase the language that women use, invade their spaces or appropriate their sports, etc etc etc

Isn't it a pity that you're incapable of taking your own advice?

Maybe they are a secret fifth column.

Those size 12 stilettos don't fit...

I've never seen any empathy coming from the other direction, just insults and threats.

“People used to say being gay was a mental illness too ( and some still do think that)”

This serves as a great reminder that those young people that posters keep telling us will never agree with us, have already declared on social media that their transitions have been ‘lifestyle choices’. It seems that those young people extreme activists have put so much stock in training have gone completely off message. They are trans and are telling the world it is a lifestyle choice for them.

Great that we could remind ourselves of these happenings! That a) the young people have evolved the trans message to one of their own and b) that sexual orientation is not a lifestyle choice so people leveraging the history of LGB into the plight of gender identity as ideological thinking should stop now.

D'oh - I came to the thread late and you beat me to it.
