1. I'm the CEO of a platform for females & know I have a unique insight into the single sex space debate. I see it play out in real time.

During our 1st MVP test phase, 1000s of TW onboarded & created "KILL TERF" profiles.

Are we supposed to take these seriously or not?

2. I fought to include TW on Giggle but the reality is I fought not knowing the hostility of the situation. I was shocked & devastated by the KILL TERF & other obscene profiles, but...

Is "KILL TERFS", "RAPE TERFS" & "LOOK AT MY GIRL DICK" what we can except in the real world?

3. Is it "just" something said to women online or is it something that would be done in "analogue" female spaces?

It's a really important questions to ask, because not only do women not want to read stuff like this... we don't want to physically experience it either.

4. It's important to remember, without this abhorrent behavior we'd all be having a very different debate.

This behavior has *added* to womens fear.

You can dismiss it if it doesn't suit your agenda. But if you do, no solution to ensure the safety of *everyone* will be found.

5. When I read something like this, what stands out to me is the line "a lot of the time I'll get side eye or even outright harassment." Lucky you!

Imagine getting a rape threat.

When that statement is put into the context of the admission prior to it, it's scary for women.

Video content is the past, present & future.

Golden rule of social media : People gravitate towards HUMANS & their stories.

The easiest way to attach people to your journey is COMMUNICATION through video.

If you cant come on screen, at least use voice. Video>Photo>Written.

From day 1 :
- Wrote down ALL ideas on paper (content pieces, growth strategies, future targets)
- Decided to expand my team, whenever my income allowed me to.
- Make. Money. First.
Don't just rely on YouTube income or brands for money. You may also provide SERVICES to fans.

But in the long term, BIG money will come from brands.

Therefore accumulate numbers and create your own niche.

How to get numbers?
- Entertain or Educate or Motivate

- Create videos/pieces that address people's most common questions/thoughts about the niche you've chosen.

As you grow through your base strategy of video creation (could be YT, IG Reels or even LinkedIn Video)...

You can further community loyalty through sharing pieces of your personal story. How?
- Vlogs
- Captions that expose your mindset.
- Tweets

Be a good storyteller.

@Janinepolitic I really like the FDR fireside chat idea
