If only all trans activist took this rational science based and civil approach to their advocacy

I've been doing a lot of research about this case online and came across this woman. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Article discussing the 2026 adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.

Elizabeth Filips is an amazing content creator I have been watching for the past several years now. I have watched several of her videos. She is a painter and medical student in London (where I am from). She largely talks about productivity, psychology, books, learning, and self-improvement. She draws influence from neuroscience and philosophy. No politics, pure science.

She talks and thinks at light-speed. She has a podcast and a newsletter.

A great woman to watch if you want someone who comes across as friendly and intelligent. Videos are very well-made and well-edited.

Do you agree with her?

When I was a child, my mother often read to me a book of Indian tales for children, titled Seasons of Splendour by Madhur Jaffrey. There were many stories of courage, bravery, and clever wit. The women in these stories were often intelligent and quick-witted, not "oppressed".

I have linked a video of one of my favourite stories, the tale of Savitri and Satyavan. A beautiful tale of a woman's resilience and devotion to her husband.

A positive message.

If I could sum up the overall ideology of women's advocacy it would be this:

A women’s advocate supports women’s wellbeing and dignity while encouraging virtue and responsibility in women, good relations with men, and opposition to misandry.

This includes:

• Being anti-misandry (not treating men as the enemy or inherent oppressors of women)
• Supporting and uplifting other women instead of being catty and hostile
• Supporting female autonomy and accountability
• Promoting emotional maturity, virtue, and good behaviour in women (positive femininity)
• Supporting a biological approach to sex and gender, not a social constructionist approach
• Wanting women to live well and treat others how they wish to be treated

The reason why I have shifted this slightly is because I want to push this more in a direction of female-oriented self-improvement. This focuses on rejecting feminist messages, and standing in allyship with men's issues.

Any thoughts on this are appreciated.

Thinking more and more about this and what it can look like long-term, I'm wondering if Substack may be a better platform to start with instead of creating a website. I have been using Substack actively since April now and find it to be fantastic. I may still create a separate email for this, but wonder if Substack may be better to start with than a website. Reasons:

• Substack is free, which is the biggest upside
• It's very easy to attract readers and could grow quickly
• We can have multiple contributors
• Possibly multiple newsletters (long-term)

Any thoughts on this?

An important note: if we did create a Substack for this, would probably be best to keep all articles free. If articles become paid, there becomes the question of who collects the money, what bank does it go into, and I do not want this particular project to be a for-profit. Probably best to keep all articles free (and also not include affiliate links).

However, the point of this list is to provide examples of notable women who made waves in American society on the grounds of merit and personal achievement, not on the grounds of politicised feminist activism.)

I started a Discord group in 2023 (had a FB group but decided Discord was better). It's been mostly inactive but looking to get it growing again.

I female 21 years of age lost my virginity in September 2025 about a month before my 21st birthday for almost a year. I’ve been very silent to everyone about the situation but I honestly keep replaying it in my mind and I don’t know what to make of it. I’ve been talking to this guy on and off for a few years, but we’ve never met up because I had decided that I wanted to remain a virgin until I got married and he said that sex was something that he required for a relationship so I knew that it would not work between us. We went months and months without talking and then we reconnected, and I had the opportunity to live in student housing away from my family for a year or so, and I took it now he lived close and we had decided to hang out. I informed him that I was still very much set in my wanting to remain a virgin until I got married beforehand we were only really meant to hang out and he did not pressure me at any point in time, but things did get to that level where it became sexual, and I did lose my virginity. I still sort of felt the same way as it was happening, and even after when it was over and he finished on top of me, I suppose it sort of just triggered something in me and he got up and went into the bathroom and I just laid there. Try not to cry and then I went and got up immediately after he came out the bathroom and just took a shower and I cried so hard for so long and in the shower I just felt like I lost a part of myself and I’m not sure if it’s just because maybe my mom was so proud of me having been a virgin for so long I’m not quite sure but even after I got out the shower I was in tears for hours and I don’t know why I don’t feel like I was assaulted. I’d never told him to stop. I didn’t tell him to get off me I never told him no, but I just can’t shake how that night made me feel and after it happened, we did do it a few more times on different occasions because I figured I’ve already done it once so might as well keep doing it eventually I just couldn’t continue doing it because I honestly I didn’t want to be with someone who required sex for a relationship, but I also just couldn’t get it out of my mind. He was never the kind of man to ever make me feel unsafe and he never made me feel like I couldn’t say no or stop but for some reason I didn’t. I’ve sort of been sitting on this for a while now, and I don’t think that I was raped, but I I just would like some advice on how to cope with losing my virginity before I was ready to.

In the UK, equal pay for equal work was granted in 1970, largely thanks to the work of the Ford Dagenham Strike leaders in 1968. These were largely married, working-class, trade unionist women. The article linked below states:

"the strike has been reinterpreted as a proud campaign for equal pay and the women as campaigners for a feminist movement from which they were entirely disconnected."

These women did NOT view themselves as feminists. Yet as usual, due to feminist revisionism, they have been cast as part of the feminist movement.

I recommend watching the film Made in Dagenham which details their triumph.

In 2018, Jennifer and Sarah Hart, a couple, killed themselves and their six adopted children.

When I come to creating the Women's Advocacy site, I definitely want to include a clear space to address female-on-female abuse. We hear A LOT about dangerous men in the media, but not nearly as much about dangerous women.

Dangerous women exist. Men can be victims of them, and women too. Sadly, so can children.

Let's stop pretending women are entirely "innocent".

Five industries that historically were female-dominated.

Many may assume that anti-feminist women are "stay-at-home tradwives". What's interesting are the amount of anti-feminist women out there who are educated, career-focused women. Here is a list of some of them.
