This week @Oxfam went on @GMB to explain why they were being inclusive by removing the word mother from their policy and guidance.
They are not the first organisation to do this as we will show in this thread.

Does it really matter if gender inclusive language is used?
Women are often told "don't be silly" "get a grip" the word mother isn't being erased. But if you look more closely it is & we believe that is a problem.
It is a fact that only women give birth & we all have a mother /2

Our experience of that will be different because not all mothers are the same.
A version of the word mother, mum, mom, ma etc is often the first word a baby will say. Mothers & motherhood are rooted in thousands of years of society.

Limp response to #RepealTheGRA petition from @CabinetOffice
The 2004 Act is "effective," "balanced" and grants individuals their "wish," so women & children - the majority - just have to tolerate deprivation of safety, privacy & dignity.

The 2020 position, following Stonewall's GRA reform/"self-ID" push, is no longer current. How can @cabinetofficeuk not have moved on in response to events, including @scotgov debacle? The voting public knows gender laws are absurd & harmful. Debate must happen #RepealTheGRA
And if @RishiSunak doesn't clean up the gender mess on his watch, it'll just become a replay of the "Tory sleaze" saga. Reality matters!

Inspired by the #FarewellMarks trending today, I thought I would write a thread about everything that we boycott in our household. Usually it's because of gender ideology and woman hatred. But a few special mentions for other reason, including 'bad dad' ads and the like. đ§”
@marksandspencer is part of my Terf origin story. I was browsing the website looking for some new knickers. Started reading reviews; they were like soft core porn, obvs written by men. And 'upvoted' by other men. I wrote to M&S, found someone on their web team. 2/
Explained it was easy to spot these patterns and make the reviews disappear. They replied that all reviews were moderated by a human being and legitimate. An eye opener. The OH spotted the TIM in the local M&S. And turns out they are a bra fitter. 3/ #FarewellMarks
@morganeogerbc is again seeking a position of public trust. This time, itâs COV Council on the @progress_van ticket, led by @mark4vancouver. I have questions.
1st, do you even want a candidate who has lost every one of the 4 times theyâve run in the past? #vanpoli #nothankyou

Do @mark4vancouver & @progress_van support staging a counter protest flash mob at a Montreal Massacre Memorial event? An event to memorialize murdered women! #vanpoli
Very bad day in the global fight for womenâs rights.
Women in the USA will still seek to end unwanted pregnancies. However safe abortion will be harder to access and disproportionately so for women with low incomes.

This is a real life consequence of an empowered religious right.
I am not in the same movement as those who deny women autonomy over their own bodies. That should never be a right that we âset asideâ or deprioritise.

I donât think we can claim to fight for womenâs sex based right if we stand aside when something so basic is eroded, when the step backwards is so huge.
I'm 45 yo lesbian. I left my country because of homophobia (it's not just mocking, harrasment, lesbians were/are raped in the name of "re-education"). I was told by men that I haven't met the right man yet. Now men who identify as lesbians tell me I haven't tried their girldick.
2)That gay man doesn't feel threatened by straight women who identify as gays & because he doesn't feel threatened he has no problem to let men in the lesbian spaces, organizations, events, groups, apps etc. He supports our erasure. The only letter in LGB he cares about is G.
1/10 In school, there is one genderwoo-obsessed handmaiden who claims to be a lesbian. (Note that word âclaimsâ - that bit is important.)

2/9 The teacher taking the class has been trying to make my life rather difficult since I started asking questions and raising the issue of womenâs rights. I suspect he is a menâs rights activist and quite possibly a misogynist too.

1/10 Recently a teacher told my class that a baby can be âassignedâ the wrong sex at birth⊠and that is how a man can âactuallyâ be a woman. I rolled my eyes so much itâs a wonder they didnât roll right out of my head! #SexIsObserved #SexMatters #SexIsReal #SexNotGender
2/10 I said, âNo. Sex is observed and recorded, not assigned. If you have a penis you are a male.â It was at this point that a fellow student chipped in. #BiologyIsNotBigotry #Biology #WomenWontWheest #WeWillBeHeard #SexMatters #SexNotGender #SexIsImmutable

1/11 Recently my entire school was given a form to fill out. It was all about preferred pronouns and inclusive language. đ Weâd already had a class where we spoke about âinclusive languageâ so I knew what they WANTED me to put. #SexMatters #SexNotGender #Biology
2/11 The first question was, âWould you ever use the phrase âhi guysâ?â Seriously?!? They're trying to get you to say no because a TIM might take offence even though in Ireland we often use the word guy for boys AND girls. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #SexIsReal #Biology
3/11 The next one, âWhat pronouns are YOU comfortable with when being addressed by someone else? He/She/They/One/Other.â What the hell? Who ADDRESSES someone using he or she?

La cantidad de espacios oficiales que le ha dado la espalda a las atletas del mundo son muestra de como la imagen progresista de algunas polĂticas no es mĂĄs que eso, imagen. Se ha priorizado defender los sentimientos de los hombres que aseguran ser mujeres.
#SaveWomenSports
#SaveWomenSports
Ese âidentificarse como mujerâ es reforzar estereotipos misĂłginos creados para mantener a las mujeres subordinadas a los hombres. NO existe un âsentirse mujerâ mĂĄs allĂĄ de la ficciĂłn creada para permitirle a los hombres usurpar una realidad que desconocen y fetichizan.
Las mujeres eran excluidas de deportes, pues por su SEXO se consideraba que no eran aptas. Tuvieron que demostrar su capacidad deportiva para que se crearan sus categorĂas y para competir profesionalmente: nos lo prohibĂan por nuestro sexo, mismo que hoy se empeñan en negar.
1/9 Recently I got pulled out of class for a âlittle chatâ. I was told I had been reported for making âoffensive commentsâ. Without ascertaining my version of events or even asking if the âreportsâ were true, it was clear my teacher had already decided I was guilty. #SexMatters
2/9 The only thing Iâm guilty of is expressing perfectly sensible and legitimate views! Plus, since when is offending someone a big deal? People take offence at all kinds of things. Such is life and we all just have to deal with it. #BiologyIsNotBigotry #SexNotGender #SexMatters
3/9 I suspect, although I still donât know for certain, that these âoffensive commentsâ were actually facts that I discussed with a few classmates when they asked for my opinion. #WomenWontWheesht #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #IStandWithJKRowling #WeWillBeHeard #IStandWithMaya

My favourite bit of subliminal marketing from the #johnlewisadvert .
It really is the trans colours WRECKING the house the mum (women) built.

People spend a *lot* of money on this type of marketing. The colours they choose *are not* accidental.
The characters they choose as bystanders (women and girls) are not accidental.

Our government is currently consulting on a LGBTQ+ Action Plan. We & @LGBAllies_Cymru asked to be involved in its development. Instead they set up an Expert Panel of known supporters of gender ideology. No diversity of opinion, no consideration of other protected characteristics.

#Belfast's Monument To The Unknown Woman Worker Thanks to the unknown woman/women(/man/men?) responsible for this act of #peacefulprotest. The dictionary definition of 'woman' is not hate speech. People are trying to force a change in definition without debate. #NoThankYou

I donât often do threads, but I had a thought today. So here goes. The reason why we have single sex rape crisis centres for women is that we need spaces away from the men who have harmed us. We need to escape rapists, oppressors, violent men.
Some transwomen claim that âcisâ women oppress them. How? One way they claim they are oppressed is by âcisâ women demanding single sex spaces. Spaces that transwomen cannot be in. Do you see a problem yet? Let me explain one.
Raped women do not demand access to menâs spaces, to golf clubs, old boys networks, or hereditary peerages. They do not want to go anywhere near the menâs bar. They want spaces well away from men, to recover, to regroup, to heal.
