Do you wear any "Rad Fem"-identifying clothes or accessories?

I was on a bus the other day and sailed past a woman vulva-owner with an Adult Human Female T-shirt on. I almost strained my neck to get a good look at her and nearly broke my face with how much it made me smile.

But I also, ridiculously, thought what a brave person.

I've never seen any "Rad Fem" clothes or accessories out in the wild. I was in a meeting with a woman who wore Venus symbol earrings a few months ago and I got very excited that it was "I believe in two sexes" code. But her Twitter confirms otherwise 🙄

Have you ever seen any out in the wild? If so, what did you feel? What did you do? Do you wear clothes/accessories that might identify you as a biology-believer?

I'd love an AHF T-shirt for working out.

I've got a This Witch Doesn't Burn tshirt and a dinosaur jumper.

I've got a Your Mum's A Terf t-shirt which I haven't dared to wear outside yet, much to my shame!

I'm feeling very "fuck it" at the moment though, so it may well get its inaugural airing at a music festival I'm going to later this month...if I'm going to do it I may as well go all in Grin

BelleHend · 27/07/2023 16:41

@JeannieDark Do you wear them out and about? Have you had any reactions?

Yeah, I'm feeling more "fuck it" too.

I've got a dinosaur jumper / am I missing something?

CurlewKate · 27/07/2023 16:48

I do wish TERF and radical feminist hadn't become synonyms. There is sooooo much for radical feminists still to do, but we've become completely sidetracked by the trans issues😢

I ve got a tee shirt which is purple, white and green. It doesn’t have a slogan, though, so I suppose it may be too subtle .

However, I am extremely old and so virtually everyone I know thinks that men are men and women are women and that a man in a dress in public is something which would get me modded if I confided it to print.

I did attempt to build a dinosaur in the front garden, but it defeated me , too big. Perhaps I should have a go at just the head….

I would love a dinosaur onesie.

I have a Help! She’s Saying Things I Don’t Like! Arrest Her! T shirt from The Artist Birdy Rose. Never had any problems wearing it, but the picture is quite detailed and the writing swirly, so as long as I keep moving I think it’s too complicated for haters to read. Plus, no one stares at the chest of a middle aged woman Grin

I absolutely agree. I put "Rad Fem" in quotation marks for this very reason. I don't think its very "radical" to believe in basic biology and child safe-guarding

I was taught by a radical feminist at university. A proper radical feminist. An old school radical feminist. What counts as "radical" these days is nowhere near the kind of mad shit she was proposing.

I need to know more about your dinosaur building antics. What was the dinosaur-that-never-was made from? Did you make the components yourself? Or can we buy flat-pack garden dinosaurs from somewhere?

I own two pairs of dinosaur dungarees, an AHF hoodie and a This Witch Doesn't Burn t-shirt. I wear them all.

Imicola · 27/07/2023 17:00

Not exactly. I have an adult human female t shirt which I have only been brave enough to wear once, a For Women Scotland pin badge (suffragette ribbon) which is always on my handbag strap, and a "women will be women, rational, objective, scientific" tote bag which i use a lot.

Have you had any reactions to them when you've worn them?

I don't, but like you OP, I had an experience of being in the post office queue once and seeing someone ahead of me with an adult human female tee on. I was anxious to speak with her in case, like Starmer's recent statement, she might be taking the concept very liberally.

This is what I'm sad about. I've joined a feminist group in my city (had to be introduced by someone and then vetted by 2 members to join- I think they have had a lot of bad experiences with TRAs). Sadly it's 100% trans issues focussed.

There's so much else to fight for as well. I said this and someone said that while the very definition of the word woman is under threat we need to focus on that first. It was hard to argue.

Flickersy · 27/07/2023 17:08

I've got an AHF t-shirt, I mostly use it for sleeping in or going to the gym though. I generally don't wear t-shirts out and about unless I'm on holiday. Can't say I've ever had anyone notice it.

I have a little bit of suffragette jewellery I wear, got a compliment on it once!

IcakethereforeIam · 27/07/2023 17:10

I've got this, but I haven't worn it yet. I think it's got plausible deniabilityGrin

Tadpolle · 27/07/2023 17:11

I have a purple, green and white stripy top but it just looks like any old top.
One of the women who vetted me for the feminist network had a silk scarf on in suffragette colours with "woman: adult human female" repeated around the edges that she was wearing like a shawl.

bellinisurge · 27/07/2023 17:16

Was in Copenhagen recently and saw a woman with a tote bag that said, I think, AHF. Definitely had the Venus symbol.

Copenhagen is VERY TWAW (gruesome unisex toilets in every new building) . It was at a pedestrian crossing and she was not sufficiently nearby. I wanted to run up to her and shake her hand but couldn't make that work from where I was.
In the unlikely event that it's anyone on here - you're a star!

Thelnebriati · 27/07/2023 17:18

I have a vulva necklace and a dinosaur badge, the worst thing that's happened is a non gender conforming person tutted loudly at at me, and a woman did a loud hawk and spit. I live in a woke town.

GolgafrinchamB · 27/07/2023 17:21

I use my Sex Matters shopping back all the time.

Mollyollydolly · 27/07/2023 17:24

I've got loads sat here in my 'Terf Island' tee from Wild Women.

Joolsin · 27/07/2023 17:25

I have a dinosaur pin on my winter coat, bought it online and thought it was going to be about 3 inches tall, a decent statement size, but when it arrived it is tiny. Still, it's there! 🦖

VeronicaBeccabunga · 27/07/2023 17:30

My dinosaur tshirt [from Sugarhill Brighton] didn't last long sadly, it went out of shape in the wash.
Must get another one.
Can anyone kindly link me to the 'Save Women's Park Run' top? I saw it one here but lost the linky.

drspouse · 27/07/2023 17:37

Sugarhill are good for dinosaur items.
I have a Courage Calls to Courage t-shirt.
I'm not fully convinced I want to fund KJK so wouldn't get an Adult Human Female t-shirt.
