Worldwide XX Day proposed, wear red - 10th October

Just seen on X. #TERFDayofVisibility proposed for 10th October because it's X X in Roman numerals. Suggested that women in support all over the world should wear red. Symbolic but also not as political as suffragette colours for those who need to be careful at work. I think I'll give this a go. https://x.com/sappholives83/status/1837232379179544598?t=wUUgCHATTW_qZ2O6c4z8NQ&s=19

Red socks here. Hoping to spot some other wimmins wearing red on Thursday.
Glad to be reading this morning time, the two pronged penis dance is potentially nightmare inducing!

I think I know why you own red socks, KStockHERO, I remember that photo tooWink

Am I right?

I am completely confused. I don't think I am who you think I am. Sorry 😂

It's subtly clever, XX - 10/10, isn't it?

MarieDeGournay · 08/10/2024 17:30

Just a bit of fun - there's a memorable photo of the legendary Doc Stock looking uber-cool, wearing red socks.
I confess that I thought 'Hey, why don't I start wearing red socks, I might look uber-cool too' and I just thought perhaps somebody else was as taken with the red-socks-photo as I wasGrin
As you were. Derail over!

WearyLady · 10/10/2024 08:05

Anyone else out there planning to wear red?

Yougetmoreofwhatyoufocuson · 10/10/2024 08:15

I am going to trawl the chalaza for a red jumper today as I don’t have anything red. I’ll save it and wear it yearly to celebrate XX.

What about women with Turners Syndrome? They have one full X and either a missing or partial second X chromosome? They are definitely considered women.

Well, X Day would have to be the tenth of every month or all of October - and would in fact include men.

PPs have given sensible replies to this bit of whataboutery. This one's to highlight that even if you had a valid point, it wouldn't be worth making.

Shouldn't you be off making offensive signs for the next Trans Day/Week/Month of Visibility/Remembrance/Pride?

Didn't mean to quote you!

Red t-shirt and cardigan. Suffragette socks, although no one else will see those.

Pretty socks!

Rather elderly now! White Stuff, I think. It will be a sad day when they finally wear out.

Red jumper for me today

NoBinturongsHereMate · 10/10/2024 11:38

I dress almost exclusively in greens and blues, but I've found a red fleece lurking at the back of the wardrobe and some clashing red socks.

QAOPspaceman · 10/10/2024 11:51

Hope you don’t mind some XY support for XX day

I have a red sweater on. Unfortunately no Teams meetings planned. I steadfastly refuse to participate in work's "wear [ ] to celebrate/mark/support this [week's/day's esoteric/fashionable cause]."

AstonScrapingsNameChange · 10/10/2024 13:05

I fully intended to participate but I own no red things and due to RL going a bit tits up recently haven't got around to getting any.

But I'm at home drinking my tea out of a red mug!

Re world mental health day - you could always wear some red and some yellow? (And look like Ronald Mcdonald)

DeanElderberry · 10/10/2024 13:05

I won't be going beyond the garden gate but have honoured the day by washing my red rain jacket which was a bit grubby. Been meaning to do that since dropping some lunch on it in July.

JellySaurus · 10/10/2024 13:20

I'm wearing red at work today.
