I'm really frustrated...

submitted by BEB from (self.GenderCritical)

There are almost 3000 of us on here (YIPPEE) but there are billions of women on Earth.

Our rights, in so many countries, from Argentina to Australia, are under a coordinated attack and we need to recruit and to fight NOW.

So let's all take a few minutes out of each day to TELL A FRIEND.

By which I mean, tell a politician, tell a city council member, tell a librarian, tell a corporation, tell your great aunt, tell your ex-brother-in-law...

Tell them that women's rights are under attack and unless we each scream NO at politicians, women across the world's rights and opportunities will be erased. We will be back to being barefoot and pregnant.

So please TELL A "FRIEND." EVERY DAY.

Also tell them about SAIDIT s/gendercritical, OVARIT.com, Spinster, Transgender Trend Save Women's Sports, WomenAreHuman.com, etc.

And if they're American, please also tell them about WoLF (Women's Liberation Front), FIST (Feminists in Struggle), the US chapter of Women's Human Rights Campaign and, if they're gay or a gay ally, the US LGB Alliance.

The US Equality Act will become law next year if Biden wins and the Democrats win the Senate.

At that point, American women's lives and sexual safety will be threatened in every public sphere. SO WE HAVE TO ACT NOW.

Call your US senators. TELL A "FRIEND." MAKE NOISE or be prepared to be searched by a TSA employee with a penis.

I like this. If I can make a suggestion that I hope will make this "TELL A FRIEND" movement more effective:

Spamming everyone with a single public post on social media or writing an open letter is easy, but that's a one-time deal, and will not be considered deeply or acted upon even if the individuals who see it might privately agree.

Instead, choose one friend each day and start a polite, private conversation. This means they will be forced to engage with you 1:1, person to person, and not be forced to act out some contrived public show of solidarity. These people will find your points reasonable, but it will take time for them to find each other and slowly realize that they are not alone. That feeling of not being alone, of not being the crazy one, is what's needed for everyone to find they do have their own voice and speak up.

Yes - my idea was to do a personal, one-on-one, message, not a social media post, although that could work very well too.

I was actually thinking of using the phone (GASP - I'm showing my age...) or talking as much in person as one can during COVID.

I don't think that politicians get as many calls as they used to, so calling politicians' offices could potentially be more effective than sending them an email or postcard.

I use J.K. Rowling as an in to the conversation. In fact, I spoke with a politician's office today and used J.K. Rowling, and the staffer had heard of the controversy and had been perplexed as to why what J.K. Rowling said was considered even remotely offensive.

As I keep saying, IMO 95% of the world doesn't actually believe in any of this gender bullshit. The ones who claim to are The Woke and they have been very cleverly interjected into politicians' offices, the media, academia, corporate HR, and women and gay rights organizations. Anyone who doesn't think this isn't very deliberate, very organized and very global isn't paying attention.

But we have the people on our side and our mission is to alert them to the dangers of gender ideology before it is cemented into law, as is happening around the world at lightening speed.

So please remember, to TELL A "FRIEND." (and by friend I mean anyone).

I have sent a picture of Dr. "Rachel" Levine to many friends, male and female, and asked "Is this the Emperor's New Clothes or what?" Most just reply "freaks!" or "that's a man!" At least then I know they are not Woke. Beware anyone who asks if you're insulting another woman on her looks!

Dr. Rachel is a piece of work, saving his mother while dooming other elderly. His press conferences are seriously something out of the Emperor's New Clothes. How anyone can pretend he's a she without bursting out laughing is beyond me. It's insulting as fuck.
