Well said 👏

It’s a great letter. Also btw I looked into ‘luxury beliefs’ - this term itself describes unfalsifiable pseudoscientific nonsense created post-hoc to grant a false veneer of academic credibility to alt-right policies

Scratch a TERF, find a misogynist.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I am SO glad you wrote that letter (and that someone actually had the spine to publish it). Seriously, thank you. Don't anyone dare claim to speak for me when they attack a vulnerable minority or ignore mums who can't afford to feed their children.

Superb letter

mthrjo.bsky.social•261 days ago

Bravo! Well said, well put, spot on.

Thank you, this is great. Indeed why don’t we just tell her to fuck off.

drbhjugs.bsky.social•262 days ago

Hear, hear!!

jennymckinnon.bsky.social•262 days ago

wins a follow, for whatever that’s worth

gemmaclark.bsky.social•262 days ago

Followed you back. It’s good for allies to connect online. So important for everyone to stick together in this climate.

Bang on, Gemma.

Chapeau🥂💜

bringthenoise.bsky.social•262 days ago

Fantastic letter and absolutely spot on.

lydiamulvey.bsky.social•262 days ago

Being a TERF is exactly like being an anti-abortionist.

They can vehemently and publicly bang on about an issue that harms the most vulnerable so it looks like they're engaged while doing absolutely fuck all to actually help people because that requires actual action

nikipoet.bsky.social•261 days ago

Thankyou so much for giving voice to this. I couldn’t agree more.

helenlawson2007.bsky.social•262 days ago

Thanks Gemma these thoughts need to be heard. x
These anti-trans conspiracy theorists & bigots are so blinkered in their hatred that they willingly side with people who would like to see women loose all their rights.
The trans panic is being created for a reason & that is to remove women's rights.

gemmaclark.bsky.social•261 days ago

Exactly

True, though I'm one of the few cis women who did take into account trans issues when I sent off my postal vote. Which is one of the reasons I voted Green.
