Thank you: JK Rowling, Kathleen Stock, Kellie Jay Keen, Jo Phoenix and many more

[Woman2023]

I just want to thank all these women for speaking out for women despite the obstacles put in their place. It's getting easier for the rest of us now.

Because I copied it from earlier collections of Women Who Had Taken Action. I see also I typo'd Rachel Meade.

Rosie Duffield, the Julie Bs. Germane Greer.

Where - and count me in

So, there's no chance of me going "Shush now TownGown" and you being silenced?

A pissed off middle aged woman with a headache can dream I suppose!

Elaine Miller. And her Merkin!

People have speaking engagements withdrawn. Graham Linehan. Kathleen Stock. And let's not forget the ones who lose their jobs or freelance work. Rosie Kay who was kicked out of her own dance company.

As for TERF bars, I thought those were Tunnocks caramel wafers.

Which reminds me that I have two packets in the cupboard.
<Wanders off>

"For Women Scotland " and Murray, Blackburn and Mackenzie.

Thank you for all your hard work

Magdalen Berns.

Most definitely!!!!

Doyle Clayton -the employee owned firm where the excellent lawyers are based. I couldnt name their support staff but I'm sure they contribute to this too.

Rachel Rooney rather than Rachel Reeves?

<Considers going on Dragon's Den to ask for funding for a TERF bar>

JK Rowling is silenced despite my Facebook having daily articles saying "fans are not happy JK Rowling is executive producer in the forthcoming HP series" and three thousand comments saying "I'm over the moon about it!" And variations of that.

Yes and Maya Forstater, Kemi Badenoch and Baroness Falkner

And thank you to the countless women here on mumsnet and everywhere in the world who quietly terf their family and friends, fill out consultations, speak to their mps, donate to fundraisers, etc.

There are so many courageous women (and a few men) that we are almost bound to leave someone out so keep adding. I came on to post Maya who is after all the reason we are confident in our legal right to speak at all.

All of the above mentioned, of course. Adding in The Famous Artist Birdy Rose, Rosie Kay , Jess De Wahls, Baronness Emma Nicolson, Fond of Beetles Emma, Germaine Greer. There are many many more.

Triggernometry are playing an important part in this and other freedom of speech and right issues, and the male podcasters taking an interest deserve recognition, Andrew Gold, Winston Marshall, Arty Morty, Graham (mentioned above) Helen Staniland, Brendan O'Neill, Dennis Kavanagh, James Dreyfus.

and my most recent find - the fabulous Louise Distras

I'm going to thank the teenagers, who are sharp, honest, thoughtful and very definitely gc.

They give me hope when I feel so bloody exhausted I'm ready to give up.

@ArabellaScott I so agree with this. So hard for them to stand up for truth in this culture. If I think about backing down or backing out I think of all the youngsters who want to be able to say what is in front of their eyes and can't . Gaslighting and the environment that we are creating for the young with consequences like a 4 year boy being accepted into school as a girl. It makes me weep, when I remember my own at the age going to school. How innocent they are. How this culture is misinforming such innocence.

Also Andrew Doyle (not a woman I know) is doing sterling work on GB News Free Speech Nation and elsewhere. Virtually every week he platforms exceptional women fighting this bullshit. 💪

Mr. Menno deserves a mention. What a supporter!

I read that as a TERF bra! Which is completely different but actually would be rather wonderful at the same time!!

A bra embroidered with tiny dinosaurs?
