Stateside here, and cannot thank you enough for your courage.

Cliches aside, these transactivists are the brownshirts of the 21st century. They openly call for killing us, and hunt for women and men who do not actively affirm their worldview and their demands for access to our spaces, resources, and bodies. I'd use the term "pink shirts," but I hate to tar lesbians and homosexuals who simply want to be left alone with the same brush.

The Pink Shirts are harnessing the BLM/Antifa 'idea movement, " which has caused $2 billion in property damage and up to 40 killings and 100s of injuries to cops and bystanders since 2020. A woman who asserts biological reality is at risk of rape and death threats, doxxing, personal harassment, job loss, reputation loss, property destruction, assault, and worse, from people who falsely claim THEY are the victims of our "violence" of giving them what we want.

If they get the power of law enforcement behind them, and/or we continue to not be protected by law enforcement or other institutions like Big Tech and corporations, we are literally being hunted as dissident TERFs. With the US language of domestic "extremism" morphing to anyone who isn't openly supportive of CRT and transideology, gender critical feminists become domestic "terrorists" by definition, losing all civil liberties.

I'm afraid this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, and it feels impossible to get this information in front of the majority of humans who would agree with us if they simply saw three hours of evidence of ongoing autogynephiliac male assaults on women and girls, pressure on disturbed youths to self-mutilate and harm through this cult, and the stealing of hard-earned rights and privacies we fought centuries to win.

It's hard to stay optimistic. This is a very, very dangerous movement looking for a way to hunt middle-aged white women as witches. They literally talk about wanting to kill us, with no consequences, and our complaints are reported as "violence."

Lord help us all.

I really feel for all but especially those of you in the States at the moment. You’re right, it will get worse but have faith that it WILL get better. I truly believe that. I feel it’s already gathering much more pace. As I tweeted today. Stay strong and hold the line! We’re all with you and remember - there’s a lot more people out there who agree with you than you can imagine. It’s most people actually. It’s just that most people are terrified. Stay strong. Hold the line.

Not to sound complacent but I think the resistance in the UK is far more based than its US counterparts. To put it colloquially, we're far less susceptible to the bullshit. That's my take.

There is a stark distinction between activists and members of the alphabet community and everyone recognises this.

The TRAs disingenuously purport we don't because it aids their propaganda and they can falsely label us transphobic, homophobic etc, etc.

How do those of us stateside watch this? Will it be streaming somewhere?

I've never been to GB and sooooo want to go in Summer 2022 and meet all of the wonderful gender critical feminists there I've gotten to know through the sub reddit Gender Critical and Ovarit as well. Solidarity!

This us what’s happened to me because I repost from you site, Genevieve, NZ women etc. No action is taken against those who lie about, abuse, and threaten women. Twitter, FB, and even Mumsnet have all proven both misogynistic and homophobic😡

The one positive of never accruing 100+ followers before being boshed by the hard-left ban hammer: Their authoritarian bullshit means nowt. A 50p SIM and hostilities are recommenced. Ten minutes later you've retrieved your loyal followers too. Get in!

Re Jacob Tobia. I read a delicious comment on Twitter: He's a mash-up of the Human League! 😂😂😂

I new Jacob as a boy. His mom, a lovely woman, ran a women's center near a bus station. She helped many middle-aged women who were escaping abusive relationships, prostitution, and drug abuse. I still think he's resentfully jealous of the time she gave to them, and feels entitled to claim the same identity to somehow earn her attention. He seemed very sweet as a teenager, but has become insufferably narcissistic in adulthood. Very sad.
