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 have a "Women Won't Wheesht" t shirt, a scarf in suffragette colours, and a patch on my denim jacket that reads "Deeds Not Words", also in suffragette colours. All bought via Amazon. I also have these badges from For Women Scotland. Rather more subtly, and no longer available, I also sport my Alba Party Founder Member badge (Alba support both Scottish independence and women's rights) and a Wings Over Scotland badge.

The only time I have attracted dubious attention was when I wore the scarf to a West of Scotland funeral, accidentally in a way that showed only the green and white. There were Rangers fans present, whose hackles went down when I readjusted the scarf to show the purple. 😁

Those with subtle suffragette jewellery / accessories, where did you get them? I'm not brave enough to flaunt a slogan tshirt but would be happy to wear the colours.

I found mine on ebay. Looking there now, there are a few nice brooches available:

@StopStartStop I have no idea how you got from my position to your comment. If you give me a few clues I'll try to explain.

Mine were all presents, so I'm not sure of the source, but I've been planning to add to the collection and currently have my eye on this one https://shop.nationalarchives.gov.uk/products/rebel-suffragette-pin-badge? The Pankhurst centre has some, too.

I wear a necklace which is green, white and purple (violet).
When we had a huge meeting in London at my stonewall gold champion company I wore white top, green belt and purple (violet) trousers. Likely nobody would realise but made me feel better 🤣🤣

Norma27 · 28/07/2023 15:19

For next meeting I have a green and white dress and a purple belt 🤣🤣

Norma27 · 28/07/2023 15:19

I do also have several T-shirts from standing for women and from birdy rose.

northerncrumpet · 28/07/2023 15:28

there is a fab jeweller called Huiyi Tan on notonthehighstreet who makes silver stacking rings in white topaz, peridot and amethyst...very subtle, very covetable and very well priced :)

Stumbleine · 28/07/2023 15:36

I wear my suffragette tartan scarf a lot

Handbagger99 · 28/07/2023 15:52

I have a suffragette pin, which has got me some glares on the tube, and a we are the witches back from the dead t shirt, which has never got any comments, probably too obscure.

I have the suffragette scarf from Ministry of Tartan. I’ve just seen that they are also launching a throw which I might have to add to my Christmas List!

I use this when I am working - teach first aid and health and safety mostly to men - I always stress how important sex is is healthcare - heart attack being a good example

My hair is green/purple and white (grey). Not had many comments though.

HirplesWithHaggis · 28/07/2023 16:59

Are you in Ayrshire, wouldbe?

🖐Hello!!

Hi DOBARDAN, nice to meet you! I've had a few positive reactions but yours was definitely the best! I try to wear something every time I go out, even if it's just a pin badge. Most of the time no one knows what it all means but it makes me feel better!😊

This is the thing. You can't control women. We will find ways to organise, secretly if necessary.

Always have done, always will. And men will never be women no matter what stupid laws they pass.
