Don't do it to yourself. Disengage, it's not worth it!

At least they tried, what exactly did you do?

Yes you are right, it is extremely annoying.

I've done loads thanks. Both for women and for various political parties.
I'm not interested in supporting people who "raise awareness" by picking fights and calling names.
I think KJK and her approach has done the GC cause way more harm than good.

What does your school/trust teach when it comes to Gender Identity Theory?

I innocently started this thread to provide some facts. This involved trawling through constituency results, etc., but thought other on FWR would be interested to know the outcome.

Maybe we could have talked about whether this was the start of something and what or how we could help come the next election. (PoW was only registered early this year.)

How did other parties start. How do you keep going.

There are many, many groups who election after election because they are committed to their beliefs, keep going.

So no suprise that the usual suspects bogged yet another thread down in repititious negativity.

Learn the names, so you dont respond to click bait and help other threads get derailed and stopped from providing an opportunity to share pro active ideas.

Forget the sneering, because in the records at the House of Commons and Electorial Commission it will be registered that there was a Party of Women who took part in the 2024 election.

And lets face it that is going to be far more of a lasting impacted than the unoriginal, tedious, sneering on FWR.

But of course on one level, as has been said before, this desparate attempt to try and drown us in negativity only illustrates how sucessful they think KJK is because they are so panicked they feel compelled to attack.

I think that's very optimistic. English Heritage Party and Scotland Family Alliance got more votes - but I don't think many people know who they are.

This board gives a magnified view of this issue. In reality no-one is going to remember this at the next election.

Thanks for this. Women taking a brave stand like this are appreciated

I don't think she's successful, I think she's largely an irrelevance, with a side of bigotry. I'm also a woman and a feminist and so entitled to engage in this forum.

Indeed. And the fact that this board continues to attract posters who sneer at, berate and criticise women for women's activism is testament to just how effective we've all been.
Women have forced poor old Starmer to retreat from his nonsensical "women have penises" stance. It became a major talking point in recent weeks and the press have been energised into challenging politicians who spout trans activist drivel. They'll be on the case as the next court cases / employment tribunals come in.

#nodebate is truly dead - no matter how desperately some transactivists try to silence women on here and elsewhere.

🙄
I'm really looking forward to penises not being the focus of every conversation about women's rights. Just imagine.

Me too. What are you doing to ensure that everyone understands that women don't have penises?

Is it just my hearing, or does this man say “women’s refuse centres” (“refuse” as in rubbish)? Seemed an interesting slip of the tongue for someone defending male use of women’s single-sex spaces 🙄.

I think we'll eventually get there. As more politicians have to run the gauntlet of derision for such batshittery this conspiracy theory will hopefully die out and we'll return to facts, science and rationality.
But there's a way to go yet - just look at those people who rock up on this board to "pick fights and call names" with women who understand about facts, biology and women's rights

This 💯

That will only happen when male people attached to those penises completely stop trying to destroy female people’s rights. I’m afraid that’s not likely to happen anytime soon so you might want to look at other areas of Mumsnet which are guaranteed to be penis-free.

True

Hear hear.

True,but I doubt those areas are frequented by posters who need to be shown the error of their ways.

And the fact that this board continues to attract posters who sneer at, berate and criticise women for women's activism is testament to just how effective we've all been.

Totally. I don't know about you, but if I find something completely irrelevant or ineffective, I ignore it

Women have forced poor old Starmer to retreat from his nonsensical "women have penises" stance.

Women forced it to become a hot topic. Especially after we've been told there are only six of us, it never comes up on the doorstep, and no one gives a monkeys.

And contrary to some posters assertions, many people are interested in it. Not just from a women's rights point of view. But for the entire woke/cancellation culture issue. And the lying, how so many institutions could've been taken in, the unforgivable sacrificing of children and the upcoming, catastrophic medical scandal.

WPATH and its supporters are having to firefight like mad as the true scale of the issue becomes evident. And fuck knows what people are going to think when they go down the rabbit hole of juvenile castration for sexual kicks.

KJK's forthright, blunt, in your face gobiness about child abuse and fetishists, is going to look bloody tame.

And prophetic.

I've seen posts like this from you often recently. Do you believe you are the FWR thread controller? You can't stop other people posting and from being heard, even if you disagree with their viewpoints. They aren't "clickbait". They are just as legitimate as you. As for negativity - I would suggest that is both-sided.

All you did in your OP was provide the results without any further context, so I don't believe you can complain about the direction of the discussion if you didn't provide any in the first instance.

Yes, it’s quite strange to repeatedly seek out, and post about topics you find irrelevant and uninteresting.
I wonder why anyone would do that…..

All new political parties have to start somewhere and at some point. They don't emerge fully-formed straight into the lap of a cognisant electorate.
