Even the poses Izzard has done for the photos annoys me. Trying to out woman women.Brilliant read
It Izzn't funny - how male appropriation of womanhood has gone way too far -
Izzard's interview was originally titled 'I've had boob envy since my teens' but was modified later in the day to the more sympathetic, 'I'm just trying to create a space for myself'.lilymaynard.com
Yelling transphobes duck off while attacking someone for highlighting the basic English language and that children cannot consent.... And they don't see that they're the problem? This is scary and seems so backwards.meanwhile in canada ;
yes please don't. Maybe get a mug or something if you want to support any creators. Also I believe this was in vancouver, BC which is known as the province that tends to veer the farthest left.Yelling transphobes duck off while attacking someone for highlighting the basic English language and that children cannot consent....

I wanted to buy a protect women's spaces t shirt but not sure it's worth being assaulted or killed over!
Children aren’t old enough to have a smoke, children aren’t old enough to vote, children aren’t old enough to have a drink but heyyy let’s pump them full of hormones and perform irreversible surgeries on them as they know best!Yelling transphobes duck off while attacking someone for highlighting the basic English language and that children cannot consent....

Sorry to hear that and sending hugs to you. Young people, especially young women, seem particularly captured by the TWAW rhetoric.Thought I'd drop in here after yet another 'discussion' with my oh so woke TWAW daughter. After telling her how I felt and saying that if it made me a transphobe, fine, she came back and said that views like that would make my kids(she's one of four) not want to be close to me.
Honestly, words have failed me.
She's full of the woke catchphrases; 'educate yourself' is a favourite. I can only hope that she can see how things fall sooner rather than later, but for now the atmosphere in the house right now is decidedly frosty.Sorry to hear that and sending hugs to you.

I was much the same even into my early 20’s, even though I had my doubts of what I was saying to be true, as I wanted to fit in with my friends and didn’t want to be hated as a bigot. In the past few years, I’ve started to see the world is not so black and white, right/wrong or left/right as I once thought. I think as a young woman it’s a view that comes with age and experience of living in the world as a woman, realising what feminism actually is and why we need it. I would still very much consider myself politically left leaning but not as “woke” as I once was.
Perhaps with time your daughter might formulate her own thoughts, privately and away from the scrutiny of her peers?
Perhaps discussing the tragic case of Sarah Everard with her may be a way of broaching the importance of women only spaces and the difficulty of differentiating between ‘good’ men and ‘bad’ men. How can we tell which men are ‘good’ and which men are ‘bad?’ How might this extend to women’s spaces and allowing men who ‘identify’ as women to use them. Ask her how she thinks women and girls can have safe spaces where they can undress/ swim etc away from ‘bad’ men.She's full of the woke catchphrases; 'educate yourself' is a favourite.

hmm.. as someone who's dealing with something similar, I would drop it and not talk about it with her. However if you happen to watch someone who discusses these issues in a roundabout way, then perhaps that may make her re-consider things. These kinds of things need to be heard from a third party. Also what she says is sad, you'd not want to see your mum because she holds different views ?She's full of the woke catchphrases; 'educate yourself' is a favourite.

I try not to talk about it with her; both of us get really worked up over it. Unfortunately, her dad brought up gender and it ended up in a big argument. She's very much the type of girl who feels she's right, and will tell you, loudly. As for not wanting to be close to me? That will only last so long, I think.hmm.. as someone who's dealing with something similar, I would drop it and not talk about it with her.
