Apologies if this has been covered somewhere else, but I saw these billboards driving through an area of london today.

good lord I nearly crashed the car. This is the whole thing they just don’t get! It’s not about what we “look like”! We can look how we want! It’s about the biological reality of womanhood - menstruation, fertility, infertility, pregnancy, menopause. All the shit that goes with that. Not whether you have long hair and a pink top.

This is What a Woman Looks Like – LGBT Foundation

A national charity with LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.

" all women – trans women, lesbian and bisexual women, women of colour, disabled women, older women, working-class women, migrant women, and many more"

Nice to see trans women coming first in the list of different types of "women".

I pledge to protect the rights of trans and non binary folk and stand up for their identities and freedoms.

I have to protect a bunch of people who are nothing to do with me now? A woman’s work is never done is it?

Ha just amused myself spotting the blokes, was very easy i have to say…..

Celebrating the richness and complexity of womanhood in 2025

Really?!

Let them waste their money on daft slogans and stupid bill boards.

They lost in court and that is all that matters.

SinnerBoy · 08/06/2025 21:47

Can they be done under the Trades Descriptions Act?

borntobequiet · 08/06/2025 22:06

That is so fucking annnoying and insulting. Idiots.

It’s like a question from a reading comprehension test: which one of these doesn’t belong in the list?

Bannedontherun · 08/06/2025 22:10

@SinnerBoy nah Road Traffic Act, for causing a serious amount of eye rolling and subsequent accidents

Yes, we poor women needed to have richness and complexity added, being such limited, simple souls..

Ha ha! Exactly. 😄

Or the "one of these things is not like the others" song on Sesame Street

More gaslighting

This is actually what a random grouping of human beings looks like

Thank goodness for the Supreme Court ruling that a TW is a biological man

I assume this is some sort of reaction to the court ruling.

They seem to think that all they need is some absurdly patronising awareness campaign and everything will be alright.for them

JustFish · 08/06/2025 22:36

On the link there is a 'what is a woman' guide from 2023
I presume this is being updated to reflect both the Supreme Court clarification and reality?

Merrymouse · 08/06/2025 22:39

The subtext is ‘women can’t be defined so don’t have rights’.

Coatsoff42 · 08/06/2025 22:41

Are they not doing a ‘this is what a man looks like’ campaign?

Bannedontherun · 08/06/2025 22:47

@Coatsoff42 Nah they are doing a sneak in a man and think we will not notice sort of thing,

if you go down the posters the “woman” in the picture gets progressively more Pete the plumber manly man type of erm woman.

some sort of subliminal indoctrination i suppose.

Coatsoff42 · 08/06/2025 22:55

It’s a slice of life I don’t see around my part of the world very often. It doesn’t reflect the average person I see in Tesco anyway.

I just wonder what the poster for the men’s campaign would be. It would be more useful for the trans women afraid of using men’s spaces if there was a campaign to normalise gender expression diversity of men so normal men would be educated into not being so scary. Then the trans women could use the correct toilets/changing room etc without uneducated men being so shocked.

Radiohat · 08/06/2025 22:57

I find it offensive.
We are not the same and and should not be labelled as so.

Anyone got a cat who thinks they are a dog ......

There's only one answer to this:

No thank you

Second time I've posted this link today!)

JellySaurus · 08/06/2025 23:00

I take it back. My previous post would be the answer I might give at work. Anywhere else that ridiculous pledge expectation would not deserve anything more than a loud raspberry.

Bannedontherun · 08/06/2025 23:04

And why is it about women what about a picture of blokes and erm not so blokes
