bit in love with Paul McCartney's drummer tbh #Glastonbury
Family legend of my granny at a very early Beatles gig, asking everyone to politely sit down because she couldn't see.
These songs were my lullabies omg.
I've Just Seen A Face is one of the greatest songs of all time. It's just the most beautiful thing.
good luck to every man I know, I hope women still want to scream your name when you're 80 too.

For the anti-trans brigade complaining I've got comments turned off on that thread, here's why:

I'm not interested in debating the legitimacy of trans rights, because it's not a debate, it's a civil rights issue. Trans people exist, their right to exist needs protection.
It is a sad fact that trans supporting feminists on here and in our media are subjected to grotesque abuse, normally sexualised, from other women and anti-trans men. This was my experience last month:
From my own experience, and watching the experiences of others, if it's not rape threats or death threats, then it's accusations of being rape enablers. This language, these attacks, I often struggle to find the words for. Image

Right: A woman is suing a trans inclusive rape crisis centre, because someone she assumes to be trans attended one of her group sessions. She knew the sessions were trans inclusive. The only reason that person would be there is because they had been raped.
This is a real sticking point for me. No rape victim should be excluded, and the centre made clear they were trans inclusive. Imagine how that person feels, dealing with the trauma of being raped and now reading the place they sought help from is being suing FOR HELPING THEM.
If the anti-trans agenda has SO much money and SO much support and is SO right, why haven’t they set up their own services? Way more simple than targeting inclusive services and organisations. Unless of course, your goal is not protecting women, but eradicating trans people.

Just a great place for mums sharing advice and getting help right?
Hey @MumsnetTowers, I’m curious where this thread stands on your policy surrounding targeted harassment? Would love a reply.

I had no idea trans women could produce breast milk, the human body is utterly incredible
The more I’ve read and learnt about the trans experience over the years, the more I am totally unable to see GC arguments as anything other than complete bigotry.
GC arguments seem to focus mainly on two angles: motherhood and sexual assault.

Here’s what I read that helped me understand the reality of trans lives, and feel like I had an informed opinion, as someone who is not trans:
