“Why are TERFs so well organized compared to us?”

For anyone interested on theories of how TERF Island has come to be!

Get the bingo board out as it has all the classics!

-Housewives
-Lonely
-Jealous
-Funded by the right wing

It's a very sad reddit community tbh. It's a closed shop where moderates and progressives who truly aren't "TWAW" are ridiculed and kicked out. These forums are exactly how people become radicalised, especially when they jump straight onto the newbies seeking support. It's a fast shift into "your parents hate you, you need to emancipate yourself" and I do worry about the safety of people they are clearly messaging off the boards.

That thread alone shows the lack of critical thinking about any of it, the swallowing of the propaganda about RW funding and low levels of intellect tbh.

They better not because I'm in charge of pudding and I'm catering for six.

If we are just socks, we don’t need feeding. Just washing !

And young men at that, who have presumably grown up with mothers who go out to work.

We cut our teeth on The PTA
Nothing holds any fear after that.

Just got to look at the pictures outside the courthouse when it was announced. All those celebrating with champagne were housewives of the wealthy or those who’ve taken (very) early retirement

Completely failing to mention that the 3 women who brought the case were lesbians, and therefore part of the 'community' they claim to speak for.

Perhaps they’re including the lawn boys in that number?

Are the lawn boys and garden parties an either/or situation, or are we allowed both?

That's a possibility. I might make another trifle then, or maybe a pavlova.

"...powerful and influential scenes and building direct, personal relationships with power. They share their talking points at garden parties and dinners..."

Garden parties!! We have garden parties??

Why have I never been invited?????

<Sobs in corner>

Can't your overdraft just identify into the black? 😜

#queerfinance

Yet again I'm reminded that my Christian-right and Fascist-donated money has yet to arrive.

They are hiding their light under a bushel

or is that their prick?

And hell, have the rest of you been invited to garden parties without me?

Shhh don't let the facts get in the way!!

Especially liked the bit about all having been at private school together. They wouldn’t have survived 5 minutes of my multicultural inner city Oxford 1980s experience, where most of us lived in council houses and our mums were cleaners and car factory workers 🤷‍♀️

So now I've caught up has ANYONE actually been to one of our garden parties??

I once went to the pub with Allison Bailey.

Does that count?

Wait... Am I supposed to have shared the millions paid into my account from far right organisations? I thought it was all for me.

No but I would love to! They say we are middle aged with nothing better to do. I suppose they're right. Having 3 children under 5, a career and a house to run just isn't keeping me busy enough

i think due to an admin SNAFU it's just a bunch of very puzzled lawn boys at the garden parties

I imagine with all those lawn boys, that the gardens for the parties would be ace.

I know. I started looking at that kitchen remodel I'm planning, I'm counting on that money.

I’ll PM you my bank details & the amount I need to pay off my mortgage, @Boiledbeetle.

You can keep your Garden parties
I just want my Right Wing fascist money and my Lawn Boy
Not entirely sure what a Lawn Boy is but I think I want one
