What threads do you always hide?

If any!

If I scroll through and see anyone ask about accountancy help, HMRC advice, tax return, accounts etc I just hide them. I can't stand seeing 90% of the "advice" on those threads being absolute bollocks.

I used to hide the divorce ones when I was going through mine, I didn't want extra headspace going into it.

Feel like this has escalated on a unnecessary tangent

Unsurprisingly.

JingsMahBucket · 16/04/2025 14:23

Hey, how about you stop derailing @Acc0untant‘s thread and go make your own about the subject you’re interested in arguing about?

Hey @Tandora have you seen this ...

As has been explained to you ad nauseam - biology is not “basic”. Like most things to do with the actual, empirical world, there is nothing remotely basic about it if you care to educate yourself.

To still bang on about ‘trans obsessives’ and not grasp that it’s a male issue (despite being explained to you, repeatedly), I’d highly recommend you hide it yourself.

Or how about y’all take this back to your anti trans “FWR” corner and we can continue the discussion as posed in the OP?

The Trans Obsessives appear to be turning this into a thread people want to hide 😂

💯 demonstrating their typical behaviour perfectly

JingsMahBucket · 16/04/2025 14:00

Stop derailing the OP’s thread.

AccidentallyWesAnderson · 16/04/2025 13:54

And to reiterate, well done For Women Scotland! 😁

Laws or societal norms will not stop determined abusers and harassers. Abuse and harassment are already illegal.
I've not seen any evidence to suggest that trans women have an unfair advantage in sports.
People can and have changed sex, whether you like it or not, makes no difference.

People cannot and have not changed sex. Out of interest, have you seen this morning's ruling by the Supreme Court? In case you haven't, it has confirmed that in the Equalities Act, 'women' means biological women and sex means biological sex. The full ruling includes being able to exclude male-born people from women's spaces, lesbian groups and women's sports. Well done, For Women Scotland!

It's the regular posters. Apologies if that wasn't obvious.

Most Mnetters don't disagree that TWAM or that men should be prohibited from women's single sex spaces. Far from it as the current thread in AIBU demonstrates.

It's not the topic that is disagreeable.

Exactly. I can't help but think that hiding threads is a small symptom of the apparent modern belief that people (adults and children) need to be kept 'safe' by never having to encounter anything they dislike or disagree with. That's not safety. It's arguably really dangerous for the future of humanity.

Yeah those crazy feminists looking out for the rights of women & girls eh?! 🙄😆

Show quote history

This isn't the only board/platform that does that. The board here is quite exclusive and it's not that engaging. I've posted on it a handful of times, I read it sometimes but I think it's a bit 'up itself'.

Oh all threads are for all of us and your question in your op includes "if any"

The fact you need to hide threads says more about you than the threads you hide and the fact you try to suggest anyone leaves this threads just adds to that.

Show quote history

By the same criteria you're using then the OP was allowed to start the thread and didn't deserve you referring to that as 'weird'. It says quite a lot about you that you jumped on just to do that rather than answering the actual question.

OP, Royal board for me, every time. I'm amazed that the threads on Harry and Meghan are left to stand but, sign of the times, nothing is like it was.

You're the one talking about unfair advantages.

Why do you think sport is sex segregated?

TheKeatingFive · 16/04/2025 12:22

menopausalfart · 16/04/2025 12:20

You're the one talking about unfair advantages.

Is that aimed at me? When did I talk about that?

But to go back to the question I asked, are you therefore advocating to abandon sex segregation in sport entirely?

menopausalfart · 16/04/2025 12:20

You're the one talking about unfair advantages.

TheKeatingFive · 16/04/2025 12:18

menopausalfart · 16/04/2025 12:17

Should we DNA test everyone to see who has an unfair advantage? If you're worried about sport, then surely we should go the whole hog and test everyone. That way, we can be sure that it's a fair race.

What exactly are you arguing for? No sex segregation in sports at all?

To be fair, you couldn't read everything on here even if you wanted to
