He can’t understand it because there is nothing behind what she has said that warrants any of the shit she is receiving, she creates art that empowers women I.e. adult human females and because of this the TRA’s despise her, like all the GC woman who speak out. They hate for hates sake under the guise of ‘we love all’.. pure narcissism. I think 99.9% of the public wouldn’t understand why she’s being targeted either so he’s not alone! Solidarity with them both 💪🏼

I’m sorry to hear he genuinely didn’t know that women are harrassed on any pretext to silence, exploit and oppress them as a class. The only sadder thing is that women themselves don’t see it due to conditioning to accept the unacceptable and internalised misogyny we all get steeped in. It’s everywhere and overwhelming as is the evidence to us all and undeniable. Unfortunately it’s only after suffering it too much and in silence do women realise it isn’t them personally but because of their sex. The relief of self blame or blaming other powerless women (and a very few men) is equal only to the horror of how women and often their children are treated universally to maintain the patriarchy and just how cunning and evil it’s faces are.

I had a civilised argument this morning on my FB page with a woman friend who was defending the ideology (her daughter has a trans friend). A male friend of mine posted examples of on-line trans misogyny. Her response? She reckons that many of those are by women posing as trans to discredit the trans movement. She's a nice person normally so I think she got that poison from her bloody daughter but I'm so angry.

I have the pleasure of knowing Birdy personally and we live in same small town - this shameful and targeted harassment has been going on for a long time and now its time for these pathetic self absorbed narcissists to be called out on their appalling vindictive attacks on Birdy knowing that sex is observed at birth, men's feelings are not paramount and that only same sex attracted people are homosexuals.

That these bullies think THEY are on the right side of history I cannot get my head around. Their idea that freedom of expression is conditioned around agreeing with them 'no discussion no debate' is beyond nonsensical.

The hate campaign against Birdy Rose and her chap is sinister and cowardly like all trans activism. It seems to have amped up more with the genius #nothankyou reply and Birdy's subsequent genius art response. Another small yet profound victory that seems to have hit a raw nerve with the TRAs.

I do think Gender Critics are making some inroads with each legal victory and then Joan Smith is sacked for voicing concerns around women's safety in refuges and I am in pain as a woman fearing the destruction of her sex all over again.

Joan Smith has been sacked?! I didn't know that!

Shockingly it's true, sacked by Khan's administration for raising concerns about women's safety in tape refuges.

Of course he doesn't understand - because she hasn't said or done anything hateful, apart from disagree with these sinister bullies. They really are horrible people. 100% support for Birdy and Doozer.

I'm sorry to cut in on this terrible treatment of poor Birdy, but I just read an interview with Sean Lock and he said about his favourite TV show 'Father Ted doesn't get the credit it deserves'. It teared me up because he's gone and I hate the way Graham is being treated by other comedians 😢

A very talented artist indeed. Some of those tweets drive me nuts: 'TERFS think trans men are confused lesbians' ?!!!! Really? No, all women think only real women can be lesbians. No confusion here. I'm glad I'm not on twitter, I wouldn't last 5 minutes.

I am a bit confused by your comment.

Transmen are female.

Some are completely open about having lived a large part of their lives as butch lesbians. See some of the personal stories published on the Gender Dysphoria Alliance website:

https://www.genderdysphoriaalliance.com/

Some identify as "gay men", the equivalent of transwomen claiming to be lesbians.

"The unspoken link between trans-men and fetish"

Transwomen are male. They cannot be lesbians.

The transwomen claiming to be lesbians are usually fully equipped men.

I'll be honest, I know nothing about transmen identifying as gay men, but whether or not they do, these people are definitely not TERFs.

It is also a strange thing because I doubt there are many 'transgender' women out there who would push their way into a male space (gay dating website or gents toilet).

My conclusions are, by the way, exactly the same as yours. Transwomen are male and cannot be lesbians.

There are some transmen who do identify as gay but it's nowhere near the amount of transwomen who call themselves lesbians, which makes this very much men's fuckery.

A couple of years ago there was a fb page called 'The Boxer Ceiling' with ample examples of how transherms™️ (women who act as men) were harassing gay men about being not into them (women with vaginas!).

It's as commonly known now as transwhims™️ want to be thought of as lesbians, aargh!

The police (ha!) should demand the details of these people, from FB, from Twitter, who'll have their phone numbers/email addresses, if nothing else. This should be a simple procedure now, and a compulsory one for ALL internet forums, for if people who harrass/stalk and bully others online knew they could be traced in moments, it would stop nearly all such behaviour as this almost overnight. They target Birdy because they know her art is loved and bought and spreads a strong message to other women to stand up for our rights. It just takes one person with many pages to create the feeling for others that they've entire group of nutcases out there who are against them. These sock accounts, as many will know, will even interact with each other, to give the impression of unity and strength in their foul outlook.

They are horrible, foul cowards and most will disappear into a puddle of fear if they were ever confronted by those they anonymously attack.

Birdy is a superb artist and I have much respect for she and Doozer's strong outlook and courage. I send them both my love.

Can you just imagine if "Trans" were attacked like "Terfs" are?!

Any advice on best album to buy as an introduction to Doozer's music?

Birdy does really good interviews too. My favourite is with Dom Armstrong (ex Green Party), and I also loved the Beth Stelzer (Save Women's Sports) one. I have 4 Birdy vests, which I am wearing in rotation. I love 'em!

Just why? It is always so nasty and vicious and unfair, she’s amazing and I bet he is too.

I had to purchase Birdy's, (Jess's and Wild Womyn's art).

It's completely despicable to pile on a woman who is reflecting truth in her art, and making her life miserable. I hope Doozer and Birdy outlast the rampage. ❤️🙂🥀

"Any attempts at 'debate' on this issue will be deleted on site." - That pretty much sums these brutes up. Oh and shout out to the lurkers.

Am I being harassed and victimized for supporting women?

The gender critical side is going to have to do some house cleaning as far as some of the more extreme bigoted GC "feminist" who are gift to the TRAs. At least it's something and clarification
