I don't think there's anything wrong with hanging out online in a sympathetic group like this until you can meet real life friends with whom you click.

Right now in my country, the US, there is so much polarization and anger that even close friends and family are getting into fights over stupid political points.

What I do is feel my friends out first (almost all are naturally GC because most of my friends were raised during the 2nd Wave of feminism) and then discuss it with them. Most are very receptive, but then, we were all raised in a time before Queer Theory and Post-Modernism infected schools.

But I also discuss GC talking points with everyone I meet or speak with, to get the word out. Most I'll never see again, so if they hate me for it, who cares.

We are running out of time to spread the GC word and with gender ideology laws that would silence us/ take away our rights pending in so many countries, we need to be screaming right now.

THIS a thousand times over. I can't believe how quickly the UK and Canada fell to the TiM insanity. People like to accuse the USA of this, that, and the other, but this is the LAST place on earth with (mostly) freedom of speech. We need to USE IT before some woke politicians sign more Erasure of Women laws.

I agree.

And to everyone who is scared - if you truly feel your job is at risk, or you feel personally threatened by the trans thugs then stay safe!

But there is strength in numbers and the numbers are on our side.

Most people are TERFs, and now more and more people have been emboldened to speak out against gender ideology: parents' groups, Joe Rogan, conservative women, Fox News (OK, but give them credit when it's due), athletes, a cult expert and JK ROWLING! Who has provided cover for all of us.

And in the US, special thanks to WoLF and Save Women's Sports, the founders of FIST and OVARIT, WomenAreHuman.com and everyone else I'm forgetting, who bravely went forward and fought alone so that all of us could make up the vanguard. Let's do it.

I would love to see a PSA campaign with people from every background, right, left, politicians, actors, plumbers, teenagers, seniors, just a huge mix including people you think of as having nothing in common, all saying "Biology is real. Transwomen are men. Protect women's sex-based rights." To me that's no more radical than saying "The sun rises in the east. Superman is a comic book character. Don't endanger women's lives."

On Twitter, every time there's some egregious TIM incident, like Game Stop Ma'am, there is a very broad cross-section of people, but mostly men, making fun of TWAW.

The people who are most needed to speak out about gender ideology are LGB, because they would be the most effective at stopping it. Many Progressives in Western countries are terrified of being accused of some kind of "phobia" due to "homophobia" now being worse than slicing up a baby and feeding it as meat loaf to the neighbors, and I say that as someone who fought for gay rights.

Trans activists in the 1990s very deliberately hijacked the gay rights movement in order to access its organizations, donations and political clout. So it's LGB that can stop the Trans Cult, which is in their own best interests because the backlash against LGBTQ+, due to the TQ+, has already started and I think it could get very ugly.

I'd heard recently that support for LGB is down overall now that T hijacked it. So many people who were fine with gay couples are now thinking LGB includes pedos, furries, trans, all sorts of blue-haired "my pronouns are" types. (Funny how "blue-haired" used to mean seniors!) There should be some tongue-in-cheek website that monitors the "Worst Slurs of the Week" -- you could see which is worse to be called this week: racist, nazi, transphobe, anti-Semite, etc. to see who's "winning"! Totally agree LGB need to kick out the T (which is sad for true HSTS). But when it comes to who can put pressure on legislatures over Trans Demands laws, there are of course way more non-LGB voters. I just wish all sane people of every stripe could unite and put down this severe threat to women's rights.

Yes - the Accelerating Acceptance annual poll done by GLAAD and Harris last year found a huge drop in LGBT acceptance, especially among 18-34 year-olds.

But a huge % of Democratic voters don't have time to parse out the Democrats' platform. So because T is with LGB, and because the Democrats like Biden are claiming that trans "rights" are the civil (or human?) rights fight of our lives, or whatever palaver Biden is claiming now, most Democratic voters won't pay attention to what the TQ+ are doing.

So unless LGB tells Democratic voters directly that TQ+ are harming gay and bisexual rights and women's rights, gay children, etc., most Democratic voters are going to blindly support gender ideology because they think it's supporting LGB and is harmless and Progressive.

It seems like most English-speaking countries have fallen to TIMs. Adding Australia to that list, since learning about the woman who was fined $10k for liking "offensive" comments on FB.
