I see The Open Uni is getting cancelled on Twitter for creating a gender critical research network.

Apparently some TERFS online said women shouldn’t swirl their skirt, that’s not what they do. But every woman I know who owns a floaty skirt usually does a little twirl at some point during the day because it’s a fun thing to do and feels nice.Swirling a skirt around, is that what women are meant to do??

I've spent some time trying to work out whether this is more offensive to women or transwomen, I think it possibly just really equal opportunity reductive to both? I mean, if you want to be in a 'hot girls' menopause facebook group to giggle and swap accessory tips, fill your boots but I'll be right over here in the real world planning the downfall of capitalism/smashing of the patriarchy same as I do every day.I think it was called Hot Girls.
Here is a quote from the article. Infuriating
I’m part of a wonderful Facebook group of older women celebrating confidence in our “hot girl years”, AKA the menopause. Trans women are not only welcome, they are cherished — we have all learned from their stories and world class ability to accessorise.

World class ability to accessorise? Billions of women know how to dress and present themselves, funnily enough. Is this what we've been reduced to?!
I really despise this infantilising stuff I've seen a lot over the last while about how TiMs seemingly 'woman' better than real women. Throw it into a menopause Facebook group and it's even more infuriatingI've spent some time trying to work out whether this is more offensive to women or transwomen, I think it possibly just really equal opportunity reductive to both?

I wear a lot of floaty skirts and I only swirl it if I'm quite drunk or dancing or ideally drunk dancingApparently some TERFS online said women shouldn’t swirl their skirt, that’s not what they do.

Let’s be honest, the only woman with a ‘world class ability to accessorise’ is Iris Apfelworld class ability to accessorise.
HAHAHA!!! Is he serious! I almost ruptured my spleen from laughing so much. He got a woman arrested over a ribbon.DP is an ally for women's rights
I guarantee you the majority of TW will not use then as they want to be in women's spaces. They don't want to be perceived as trans even if they are not castrated and feature make pattern baldness and a beard . They demand to be seen as women, hence we "cis". That is the problemI agree. I wholeheartedly support any campaign for transwomen, transmen and NB people to have their own separate spaces/facilities/groups etc. etc. etc. I think everyone, no matter how independent, sometimes needs a supportive space with their 'tribe' - which is why women need women-only spaces and places too.
I just find this creepyThere is one transitioning at work. I don't know him but I have heard he says things like " when I was a little girl.." why does no one challenge him
India Knight who stands by a paedophile. How any woman can defend her is beyond me.hate Caitlin Moran too, cannot believe her and the various blue ticker's defending india knight and ignoring her husbands 's crimes. just vile.
she has admitted to having botox, wouldn't surprise me if she has done other things
I don't think I've ever said " when I was a little girl" we tend to say " when I was little". Someone who knows him says he is creepy and very odd and married and the wife supports him.I just find this creepy
I understand they want to be seen as women and therefore would want to say when I was a girl as opposed to "outing" themselves.
But why couldn't they just say when I was growing up??
It just seems a bit fetish-y to me
Yes, agree. I don't know all the people on this list, but Munroe Bergdorf strikes me as someone we used to refer to as transsexual rather than transgender. There are people who have gender dysphoria and for those people transitioning seems to be a legitimate treatment. I support anyone getting help for a mental or physical health issue without exception. Sadly there now seem to be many people who define transgender as something very different to transsexual. Theirs is a movement I cannot support.I agree.

Using the right symbols and words at all times is such a clear sign of cultish behaviour. Why is the 'correct' flag so important? Why are 'correct' pronouns so important? Why is the 'correct' language so important? It truly is brainwashing and so much of it is performative.I’ve seen people getting “cancelled” for not using the “new” pride flag with the trans colours cutting across it. Sorry but how can a flag cause so much upset?
