As usual the one person trying to share a different side and stand up to the mob has been called the abusive one and had her posts deleted.

DID YOU SEE WHAT COOKIE CALLED ME? It was most definitely abusive. Why are you trying to justify it?

The IBA, whether you believe them or not, have stated that they disqualified both for failing gender tests. They define gender in terms of chromosomes, not self identification or testosterone levels.

Although they won't publish their evidence

My post you say is beyond the pale was a factual correction, with evidence, of another poster's mis assumptions.

It also was not directed at cookie. You have failed to prove that I "deserved" being insulted in such a disgusting manner.

You're right. We can ALL see.

I said she was bullied and provoked, which she was.
And yes we can.
As usual the one person trying to share a different side and stand up to the mob has been called the abusive one and had her posts deleted. she then immediately apologised. I know this game well.

(and yes your post was unacceptable by any standard of decency).

but the thread speaks for itself.

i don’t know if you were one of the ones who personally attacked that poster, but when you have many many posters laying into you at once, it’s v hard to keep track of Who is who and very easy to lose your rag.

How shameful of you being an apologist for insulting slurs against women.

Not at all. Everyone can read the thread and see who the bullies are

Well you posted this (with image) which is absolutely beyond the pale and deeply provocative .

No cigar.

I've never really understood the drag artist thing.

I have gay male friends and none of them look like this and one recently was very disappointed that the institution he works for had decided to have an LGBTQ social evening and had promptly hired 6 drag queens... He works in the Financial sector, so not even in fashion or musical theatre or cosmetics, etc.

If anyone could explain to me (I'm 57, soon to be 58).

I think drag has always been a thing. Îm your age and it always around ( paul ogrady for example )

Well you posted this (with image) which is absolutely beyond the pale and deeply provocative . Certainly shouldn’t been allowed, but I’ve reported degrading and objectifying images of trans women before on this site and was told they don’t break guidelines.

Here’s one. Just nasty, demeaning bullying

That's not my post, pet.

Once again show where I provoked cookie into calling me an unjustifiable insult.

See I would report this, but better to leave it and show the true character of these threads.

You know it won't be deleted more like. It's just footage from the TV. HTH

Sure. Good it stays up in its proper context, with the comment, for all to see

@Tandora

@Cookiecoop you were more than provoked. Don’t let the mob gaslight you xx

Can you show where unprovoked a personal attack please?

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 04/08/2024 17:56

@Cookiecoop
But posting a picture of someone’s supposed genitals is? Gross.

LMFAO. What I think is gross is that you prioritise male hurty feels over female safety.

Here's him rearranging his "vagina" like all women do.

However until the IOC is sensible about the need for testing, people's suspicions will find an outlet.

Quite. When people are trying to gaslight us that the emperor is wearing clothes, when we can quite clearly see otherwise, then we are forced to show proof of what we can see. Clear as day.

Cookiecoop has been the subject of multiple angry and demeaning personal attacks/ bullying tactics on this thread , calling her “embarrassing” and accusing her of not understanding basic biology.
And yet her posts are the ones deleted .

I guess you didn't see what cookie called me. Feel free to report them then if you think they are beyond the pale.

They are certainly beyond the pale but I think it’s better to leave them so all can see.

On reflection you’re right. Shouldn’t have called you a that. Apologies.
It’s very close to home for me and it terrifies me how people who are just following their dreams can be bullied so much that it becomes acceptable to post pictures of them with an edited ‘bulge’ in their shorts. I really worry about the suicide rates for people who don’t fit in a neat male/female gender box.
Genuinely out of interest would you be okay with them calling themselves a woman outside of sport?

@Cookiecoop you were more than provoked. Don’t let the mob gaslight you xx
