He actually tried to join a self defence group for survivors which I thought was worse as well as telling. In that having been to various martial arts classes over the years a lot of it is going to be you teaming up with someone so he would be touching/holding woman.

Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez is one of my number 1 feminist books! All about how the world is built for males, figuratively and literally. Talks about language, STEM, transport, all kinds of things.
I like all about love and Ain’t I A Woman by bell hooks too. Her writing is gorgeous
I also like the Beauty Myth written in the 1990s by Naomi Wolf. Too bad she’s gone a bit weird recently including on the TRA stuff. It’s odd as most of the book is aligned with radical feminism. There are PDFs of it available online
Beauty and Misogyny by Sheila Jeffreys covers a similar topic. It’s all about the pressures of beauty and especially the damage done by liberal feminism along these lines. It’s proper radfem stuff - she is a TERF. Really recommend http://www.feministes-radicales.org...tices_in_the_West__Women_and_Psychology_1.pdf
shout out to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. i gave her book “We Should All Be Feminists” to my mum when I was a teenager. I don’t agree with it all now but it was good for my relationship w my mum. She wasn’t massively into feminism before then but that book changed her mind
Hags by Victoria Smith is next on my list.

That sounds really interesting. I’ll have to give it a read
I also really want to read Hannah Barnes’s book Time to Think
Happy IWD
Invisible Women is brilliant, but be prepared to be very, very angry by the end of it!

Did a post on my FB of a few women friends/family who I think are strong. Didn't include a friend who is they/them. Am I wrong?
Don't want to use that as an argument if she asks why if I'm wrong

Twitter has already taken off. Happy international AGP day
I’m not sure why I’m writing this, but I just need to get it off my chest. I’ve always been a little bit of a tomboy growing up, and when I was 15/16 up until I was around 18 or so, I had extremely short hair and I dressed androgynous and I loved it. I even wondered what it’d be like to be a boy. Essentially, I hated my femininity. However, now that has completely flipped. I’m in my early twenties now, and I love nail varnish (never quite got on board with the whole makeup thing sadly haha), and I love wearing skirts and I love wearing dresses. It somehow still feels a bit weird that I’ve become comfortable with my femininity, but I love it. I’m even growing my hair out for the first time since I was about 14. However, the only thing I don’t like are my periods because mine are very heavy and can be very painful sometimes. Unfortunately it’s different each month in terms of how painful/heavy my period is. When I was in my teens, the pain would be so bad I’d have to lie down or else I’d faint. Thankfully the pain is mostly just mild discomfort nowadays, but on rare occasions it can be very bad. I have no idea why I’m writing this, but I just wanted to put my thoughts out there. Essentially, I’m feeling very empowered by finding my femininity and my style. In fact, I now don’t like looking androgynous, which is a bit hard in this cold weather as a lot of my jumpers are quite loose fitting
Surely if they use those pronouns they won’t want to be included? It’s not international non-binary dayHappy IWD

I hate it when a man or handmaiden says 'No one would go through the hell of deciding to transition just for the sake of it'.
Absolute rubbish.
Absolute rubbish.
Happy International Womens Day to fellow human females 
That's what I assumed. I just never know though with this one
Not getting enough attention, aye? Choosing a female name is just his next play in the game to get the spotlight and praise back on him. Twit.
I was told by a fellow TERF at Kellie Jay's event in Glasgow that Beth "Pickle Bee" Douglas (aka Jack Douglas) infiltrated several womens groups where trauma was discussed. I have absolutely no doubt that violent, perverted creep got off on it.
‘The hell of deciding to transition’ usually means putting a skirt and some lipstick on, while retaining your 5 o clock shadow, kicking up a stink on Twitter when someone calls them ‘he’ then taking a selfie in the women’s toilets.
Absolute hell.
I see Jordan Gray is being as repellent as ever in the independent today.
Justin Webb referred to his as having a male body on radio 4 yesterday making the link from flashers to what he (Jordan, not Justin) did on c4 a while back. I cackled.
Is it in reply to that?
I enjoy Joan Smith's writing, both her crime fiction and her brilliant non fiction (Misogynies was one of the first feminist books I owned). Also love the crime writer Alex Marwood and am delighted that judging from her twitter lately she is one of us!As it’s International Women’s Day, who are some of your favourite female authors/books you love by women? My favourite authors include Jacqueline Wilson, Cathy Cassidy, Holly Bourne, Shirley Jackson, Diana Wynne Jones, and J.K. Rowling. My favourite book is We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson
So Corbyn did a whole thread of tweets for IWD including the suffragettes, South African women who fought for their rights during apartheid and indigenous women, and the only one that Owen Jones has decided to RT is the one about TIMs 
. Tell me you despise females without telling me you despise us!
eta apparently both of the dudes in the picture identify as gay men anyway

Because in 2015 the WEF and the UN decided to push the LGBTI+ religion, which is what we now know to be gender ideology. (It is stated on their website as a religion) Because most countries in the world listen to them for their economic stance this is why there is now the explosion of trans rights press etc globally. I posted links about it last night.
They started the LGBTI+ push way back when Obama and Trudeau were first elected. Canada has been the guinea pig which is why it's currently known as Tranada.
