Finally Cycling weekly acknowledges RMcK's existence

[MonsteraCheeseplant]

And the tweet replied are fucking brilliant.

Finally the men are piping up and even referencing fair play for women. Finally.

[Rachelsfatarse]

Cycling Weekly barely acknowledge women ride bikes so it’s not surprising RM is featured.

It's odd, isn't it, that when the conversation widens up to include 'the man in the street', they all say far worse than feminists have said, very bluntly, and yet ... nobody screams, nobody yells bigot, nobody threatens them with a grease fire. Very odd.

[teawamutu]

I am, obvs, blocked by the cyclepath. Any grease fire wishing going on?

[AnyFucker]

I still don't know what the fuck a grease fire is

[testing987654321]

I think it's similar to a chip pan fire. At least I assume so. But who knows, accuracy isn't McKinnon's strong point, they probably mean a coal fire.

[AnyFucker]

Thanks for trying to explain the fucking nonsensical

[ScrimshawTheSecond]

I can't see anything - I would imagine that one tweet was deleted.

[IsadoraQuagmire]

Well I say insulting things about transwomen/non binary people on Twitter all the time and no one's ever said anything negative to me. But then, I do the same in real life everyday, I wouldn't give a shit if anyone disagreed with me I am blocked by the McKinnon cheat, but that was before I'd even heard of him. Must be because I follow lovely glinner

[ProstheticConscience]

Also covered by road.cc
Sensible comments underneath.

[Trewser]

Why is McK not going after those commenters? Or road.cc for hosting it?

What a cowardly hypocrite.

How about this for a Modest Proposal:

Can you just imagine what would happen if a sporting body decided to implement this in the name of being trans-inclusive?

[AnyFucker]

Where is the Flying "Lawyer" when you need him ?

[ErrolTheDragon]

This is a good comment on the road,cc one, which starts with a quote from RMs interview.

“If you want to say, ‘Well, I believe you’re a woman for all of society except this massive central part that is sport,’ then that’s not fair”

Truth is, I don't believe you're a woman. You might believe that (I'm far from convinced that you do), you might crave the validation of others supporting you in that belief, but facts don't change so easily. I can sympathise with your plight without having to affirm the lie.^

[Durgasarrow]

Golly, but Ms. McKinnon is certainly the perfect spokesgal for her cause. What a winsome young lady, no matter she has been winning over so many hearts and minds, ha ha

[Fairenuff]

Someone looked at that photograph and came up with the nickname 'Big Mac'.

I'm loving it.

Nearly 12,000 Likes for Piers Morgan's (very reasonable) tweet about this. Big Rache is doing our work for us! twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1185197604558127104

[Trewser]

14k likes now and 2k retweets. Seriously. Where is the TRA pile on of Piers Morgan? I've scrolled through the comments and can't find a single one that disagrees with what he says. Are they too busy trawling mumsnet in case someone uses incorrect pronouns?

[testing987654321]

It's interesting isn't it? I don't think I could blame Morgan for wondering why women MPs aren't speaking out about this, because when he does everyone agrees with him.

It's almost as though something about Morgan is stopping the pile on.

It surely can't be his sex can it?

[teawamutu]

That or they've already blocked him.

I'm still not sure whether the greatly reduced level and ferocity of tra pile ons is because the tide is turning and they sense that; or they've already blocked everyone who makes them feel unsafe and hence not seeing things.

[HumberElla]

Just seen Andy Turner (Olympic WRH hurdles I think)speaking up on Twitter and stating he is flatly against TW in women’s sport.

Overwhelmed with supportive comments.

[Trewser]

So basically it's fine for men to say it. Ok then.

[teawamutu]

Trewser I don't know whether I'm more pissed off by that, or the comments I see saying 'why aren't women complaining about this'.

JUST BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T FUCKING LISTENING DOESN'T MEAN WE WEREN'T SPEAKING.

JUST BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T FUCKING LISTENING DOESN'T MEAN WE WEREN'T SPEAKING.

Sorry, just wanted to repeat that louder.
