[Branleuse]

[AstraiaLiberty]

Where did the thread about Lily Madigan's hounding of a Labour candidate who shared the resource pack go? I can't find it.

[OrderOnline]

LM thread deleted because of misgendering and PA about LM appearance.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Deleted.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

'Message from MNHQ: Afternoon all and thanks for the reports.

Just to explain, we always delete posts which are intended to inflame or provoke because they break Talk Guidelines. Prompted by the reports, we've had a look here and that does seem to be the case in the thread title, OP and many subsequent posts.

We know this is a subject many MNers feel passionately about. So please do feel free to discuss the situation in a separate thread if you're able to do so without breaking Talk Guidelines.'

[AstraiaLiberty]

Ah - thanks for telling me!

(Although seriously, misgendering? I agree that comments on LM's appearance are unfair, but material reality still exists )

[OrderOnline]

There were comments about imperfections of LM skin.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

That's a pity. I come from a family of acne sufferers and it makes my blood boil to see anyone mocked for having bad skin.

[Fekko]

I only saw someone dissing lils frock. I’ve got one like that (been wearing them for years).

[OrderOnline]

There was also a Michael Finnegan rehash. If this is stopped, it looks like we can talk again.

[Everyonematters]

Personal attacks like remarks about skin are wrong.

[marfisa]

Deliberate misgendering is also wrong

[OvaHere]

Deliberate misgendering is also wrong

But calling women cis, who reject the label and find it offensive is just fine I suppose?

[OrderOnline]

Forcing people to believe your religion is wrong. I don't believe in Transology, like I don't believe in a flat earth. Each to their own.

[BarrackerBarmer]

'misgendering is always wrong'
I disagree.

accusing a person who doesn't believe in gender of misgendering is akin to accusing an atheist of 'misworshipping'.

I can allow that certain people do believe in an inner gender (that is never actually defined), but I don't, and so I won't be compelled to use incorrect sex pronouns which contradict my own belief.

I'll use the correct pronouns for a person's sex. I won't pretend to acknowledge a mythical gender as if I give it credence, any more than I would pretend to worship a god I don't believe in.

[busyboysmum]

We need a thread about this to be honest because I am really uncomfortable with forcing people to say things that they know to be untrue. I find this a really sinister part of this whole movement.

[DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus]

Asking people to respect your gender is like demanding people call you sir, or doctor. You cannot dictate language that other people use to describe reality, it's oppressive bollocks.

[Elendon]

I hate personal attacks on anyone, especially regarding their looks that includes those suffering from acne and those who don't conform to 'feminine stereotypes'

Regarding the booklet, can someone please quote me where conversion therapy was advocated?

[OvaHere]

It wasn't Elendon

Lily misread conversation therapy i.e counselling

[SteelyPip]

I agree.

I don't believe that 'misgendering' someone could be an offence, because it relies on one person accepting another person's subjective reality without any corroborating material facts. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't sex the protected characteristic, not gender.

[SteelyPip]

The above was @busyboysmum

[Weezol]

I am no fan of LM, have huge concerns about GRA and am a gender critical feminist, however that thread descended into some seriously nasty stuff. I didn't report it, but the songs and rhymes were unpleasant to put it mildly, as were the comments of appearance.

It played right into the TRA's hands. Expect to see screenshots being used across social media soon.

[Mogleflop]

Ah. I think I left before songs and poems, that sounds a bit odd?

I was and am still filled with fury at using autism as an excuse for shitty, illogical behaviour though. I hope I'm allowed to say that much.
