Jean Hatchet - harassed for riding for murdered women

[rowdywoman1]

She's been riding in commemoration of women murdered by men - and raises a significant amount of money for domestic violence charities.
Predictably along comes someone (from Goldsmiths funnily enough) calling her transphobic for not centring transgender women in her rides.
Twitter thread here twitter.com/JeanHatchet/status/975835612086439937

The level of misogyny is quite overwhelming at times - but has made me go to Jean's go fund me page and make a donation so in one way there's a positive result

That Goldsmiths twit is also pushing Topshop Travis' "get me a taxi cos I'm oppressed, innit" fund.

And that Goldsmiths twit doesn't seem to realise that the UK and the US are different places.

What are they at university for? They don't seem to be learning much.

[Sanderz]

Who is this Goldsmiths person? Are they even trans themselves? Either way if I were trans I would be beyond embarrassed, livid, at this knobber challenging this wonderful woman like that. What an absolute idiot, what makes them think they have the right???

[Sanderz]

It's art school isn't it? They're there to learn how to be truly useless whilst also a massive self-absorbed wanker (sorry any non-wanky useful artists out there).

[LangCleg]

Yet another illustration that Goldsmiths is the ground zero of pomo lunacy leading to trans authoritarianism in the UK.

WHY AREN'T YOU RIDING FOR TRANSWOMEN, YOU BIGOT?

Er... none were murdered.

THAT'S NO EXCUSE, YOU BIGOT.

One actually did the murdering.

SEE? NOTHING BUT BIGOTRY FROM YOU!

Reality means nothing to these idiots.

I have a weird soft spot for Topshop Travis. He is so hilariously narcissistic, brazen and ridiculous that I can't help but keep looking at his Twitter!

[SuitedandBooted]

There was another piece on here/twitter link, showing how some deluded Goldsmith's brats had attached themselves to a group who were going into a really deprived area of London to work with desperate familes with multiple issues of abuse/drugs/poverty/housing. The Goldsmiths twats were totally derailing the project in favour of diversity "teaching".

I will try and find it, as I feel a few emails to these people coming on;
www.gold.ac.uk/our-people/smt/;

Don't know if anything will happen, but when I was at Art College (better one than theirs, so "Nah"!), I don't think this would have been ignored if members of the public raised it.

Ooh - broken link suitedandbooted Have they taken the page down?

(Straying slightly off the point, but easier to deal with than the head-boiling narcissism summarised by Lang above - how have these people got as far as university without a basic grasp of apostrophe use? twitter.com/ojandguinness/status/975903905581330432)

[Waddlelikeapenguin]

S&b's link has an extra ; at the end - remove & the link is fine

[SuitedandBooted]

Waddle
Thank you, I will be composing a suitable email - may do nothing, but it will make me feel better!

Also how come UK-based TAs so often pepper their tweets with 'y'all'? Are they all from the southern or western part of the US or is it an affectation?

[Ereshkigal]

That Goldsmiths twit gave me the rage. What a misogynistic idiot.

[LangCleg]

Everything that Lucy Loveslife wrote in that thread is why I was so late catching up with trans madness. I've been busy at the coal face trying to offset the effects of austerity on the most vulnerable. Thank heavens I'm in the back of beyond and no pomo-addled university students want to get involved because I can see exactly how they would actively obstruct the work being done with this nonsense. As it happens, we've had no trans people needing help but, if we had, we could have integrated them without ever compromising the dignity, rights and wellbeing of the women we were helping. And we would never have countenanced disadvantaging women in that way.

[GoodyMog]

She even points out that there were no TIM's murdered by partners, so wtf did they want from her? Aside from self flagellation?

[HomeTerf]

Thanks for mended link

Gold.

That’s a perfect Monty Python sketch:

WHY AREN'T YOU RIDING FOR TRANSWOMEN, YOU BIGOT?
Er... none were murdered.
THAT'S NO EXCUSE, YOU BIGOT.
One actually did the murdering.
SEE? NOTHING BUT BIGOTRY FROM YOU!...............OH I’M SORRY IS THIS THE FIVE MINUTE ARGUMENT OR THE FULL HALF HOUR?

[swivelchair]

Oh god Lang - it's so, SO obviously not a laughing matter, but you paraphrasing the conversation they had was perfect, and had me smiling - I read the original tweets with my mouth open (and I really appreciate that Jean Hatchet went there, with pointing out that the only transwoman anywhere near the list of women was one of the murderers. That's not shying away from the truth)

[KatherinaMinola]

Some student twat from Goldsmiths trolling on Twitter? I can't see why she gave them the time of day, tbh.

pomo-addled university students

[CircleSquareCircleSquare]

I cannot believe what I’ve just read.
Do they want us to just carry a bell around and wave it and shout “oh ye, oh ye, transwomen exist and they are more oppressed that anyone” any time we do anything even remotely relating to women and womanhood?
I mean, I have to change my tampon shortly, who do I contact so I can be assigned an official reprimanding officer to come and shout at me for being less oppressed than transwomen whilst I do that?

[washthoseclothes]

Why do women have to deal with this kind of shit ? Over and over and over.

When are more politicians actually going to wake up to this shit and do something

[picklemepopcorn]

I've just shared a mooncup Type post, perhaps I should have apologised to TiFs and TiMs who may have felt sidelined...

[picklemepopcorn]

Actually, I've shared reminders to get a smear, too. Honestly, I'm really bad at this being woke thing.

[CapnHaddock]

That thread is absurd (and Jean has handled it with her usual dignity) but I am so sick of TRAs just coming out with a load of lies and then just running away when they're called out on it. This narrative that TIMs are the most oppressed and endangered people in society is just not true and yet they all do it.

I hope their essays display better research
