For those who reckon all TERFS are old ladies. Maeve Halligan interview with Mr. Menno

[MistyGreenAndBlue]

Fantastic interview with the young woman who led the counter protest against the moob warriors. I couldn't find a thread on it and it's worth watching

Thanks for sharing. I was so impressed with Maeve. Such courage and so articulate. She waited until she graduated to go public with her views but going public is still scary, even after the SC judgement.

Nowt wrong with being an old lady! We're used to fighting for our rights.

But good to see younger women joining us.

I'm an old(er) lady myself. But the TRA keep telling us TERFDOM will die off soon when we are all in our graves. Nice eh?

It's especially ridiculous when so many Transwomen are far older than we are lol

Fabulous Maeve! Bloody good Terfing from you and your friends.

I watched this the other day and really enjoyed it. Maeve is an impressive young woman with her head firmly screwed on. I liked the way she responded to the TRA who came over to try and argue with Maeve and her friends while they were protesting. She just let him speak and that was very powerful.

My Dd is a terf. Published poet type at age 14 thanks to @BoiledBeetle
One of the things I’ve done right in raising my girl. She’s awesome.
There’s s lot of terfdom in the teenage years. It’s just quiet to keep the peace at school. I find it’s those in their 20s and 30s who should have better critical analysis skills that are all twaw and anything less makes you a twat.

Put yer moobs away fellas!

A baby terf! Beautiful.

That sounds like a job for @boiledbeetle AI pictureextroidinare

My DD too, also a teenager. Some of her friends are as well, some not so much, but she’s working on them 😆

They were at LWS later that day and Maeve spoke - I was incredibly impressed by her confidence and clarity. Go baby TERFs!

Well I guess I am old at 63, I grew up in Greenham common era and was a nurse during the AIDS crisis and witnessed all those terrible deaths. People my age have seen a lot we're not silly old fools.

I reckon most women are terfs, but plenty of younger women are too scared to speak up - they have school/uni/boss/edi dept/professional body/union etc and can’t afford to take the risk

I thought of your baby terf when I was reading the school uniform thread earlier!

Baby TERFS. I like it 😁
We could also have TERFS 2.0
or TERFS - The Next Generation

We definitely need more TERFing USA though.

I have hope that my daughter will stay the same as she is now. She is critical of the option of being non binary. She also clearly can see when men are larping as women and has openly said she would not want to share a bathroom with them

That's brilliant.
My son is utterly captured by the cult.

My DD1 became a terf at 18 but was previously an angsty TRA. Her younger sister, DD2, thought me and DH were mean bigots but the minute DD1 peaked, DD2 said, “oh I guess I agree.” Little sister looks up to big sister. Thank the goddess, I have 2 baby terfs. We’re working on DN who’s close to base camp.

How did you manage this? As someone with younger children, I worry about them being captured by the cult at school when they’re older and if there’s anything I can do to prevent it.

Kids can work this out for themselves. My DD attends a single sex school. She was very upset that the school wouldn't make any accommodation for her friend that identified as a transboy. Six months later she ran onto a hockey pitch where the opposing team fielded two transgirls. Instant peak.

There are notably fewer TRA sympathisers in Key Stage 5 these days. Far fewer in Key Stage 4, and they are rare below that.

I think those in their 20s who drank the cool aid will fall off the band wagon as they mature and take on more responsibility.

The terfs in their 60s have plenty of life in them yet.

I just can’t see things panning out as TRAs imagine…..what a turn up for the books 🙄
