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.

Trans threads here too. I would actually consider myself to be gender critical but it started to be making fun of how people look in really cruel ways, guessing if women were men because they didn't feel the women looked feminine enough, Trump supporters, just what feels to me like quite extreme vitriol and tunnel vision. It's just way too much for me.

You keep repeating this over threads when no one has actually said anyone who’s anti-trump is a TRA. Just like if you are a sex realist you must be right wing or how did you phrase it - a trumpette? So much nonsense.

OMG this.^^ The refusal to engage in what's actually been said. The accusations. Anti-Trump and what he's doing to women? You're a TRA.🤯

The “but what you’re saying is….” <followed by something I have not said> or the refusal to accept that their view of something is not everybody’s view of something becomes tedious.

I have no issue with different views but people incapable of following the logic of a discussion do my head in! Hiding brings me peace 😊

"For the other hard of thinking, women don’t won’t males in their female spaces and sports because they are male, not because they are trans. Wash, rinse, repeat."

Except the women who are fine with it. The approach that anybody who disagrees with you can be ignored, therefore everybody agrees with you, is part of the reason people hide the forum.

The women of FWR. That is their stance.

Of course there are women who are happy for males to be in such spaces. There are women who will always prioritise male feelings over women.

What they can’t appear to expand on is the why, when logic, stats, studies etc are presented as to why males should be excluded and how detrimental it can be having them there, no matter how they identify. It’s the plopper posters. Have a different opinion by all means, but at least try and back it up. If one could also explain how humans could change sex that would be great too.

Why would I want to venture into a forum where I'm called 'hard of thinking' because I have a differing opinion?

Mysterian · 15/04/2025 22:35

I don't hide any topic, but there are plenty I just don't bother going into.

The people who have it hidden don’t have a coherent, intelligent argument in them (apart from waaah you’re all anti trans!).

That's a leap. I have them hidden as I have nothing useful to add, and see no value for me in reading these threads.

Exactly. I have absolutely no interest in Meghan. I imagine that if I met her, I wouldn't really like her. However, the hate that surrounds her is absolutely insane. It's completely unhinged and off the scale. People (primarily women) seem to get so much pleasure in tearing her to pieces. I just don't understand it.

Show quote history

I think Meghan Derangement Syndrome needs to be a recognised psychiatric disorder.
The unhinged hatred for her for ….well I am not sure what she has done to earn this level of vitriol.

It’s baffling!

I don’t hide these boards (I didn’t know it was an option) but I also avoid them. The posters are obsessed and bonkers - entering those boards is like stepping through a mirror into a crazed alternative universe.
