Just seen a video of a trans woman minding her business in a train station getting horribly bullied by some Tommy Robinson wanna-be and couldn't help but think back to all the aggressive threads I've seen on Mumsnet.

Pages and pages of vilifying innocent trans people, calling them perverts and all sorts with zero evidence of anything of the sort of course would lead to people like this harassing and attacking trans people in public. I've see a few of so-called GC brigade say 'this isn't what we wanted' but it is the end, isn't it? If you do see trans people as disgusting abusive perverts trying to sneak into your changing rooms and hurt your daughter, you'd want them to be bashed in public yeah?

Am I wrong to think their chickens are coming home to roost and certain posters will want to claim they never had a hand in it all?

I’ll just leave this here. 14yr old girl raped in a public toilet by a transgender policeman

Oh, god, the poor girl.

At least he's being held in a man's prison.

''a lot of chaps are well aware that public cross-dressers are compulsively displaying a fetish. Not everyone is prepared to accept that.''

Not remotely in the same ballpark of what the pp suggested they'd seen.

For a lot of men it is a fetish, they admit it!

You actually posted this, and then called posters 'mental' for not believing you:

'I have seen posts that have said trans people are all pedophiles and the gender ideology is a conspiracy to make sex between adults and children legal. I have seen posts mocking and celebrating when a trans child is murdered with comments that most certainly would have caused harm. I have seen posts that have called for mass detention and imprisonment in camps of trans people. I have seen posts that advise child abuse when a child is questioning their identity instead of educating them.'

No I said it was mental expecting me to have screenshots of problem posts.
Try and keep your story straight.

No where in what I said do I say or imply the following:
you’re all being manipulated by bad men

Which I presume is the wild accusation you think I have made, but was actually fabricated by another poster who is weirdly taking a comment with a book recommendation very very personally.

Hate speech as defined by the law. Men can’t become women isn’t hate speech. Saying identifying as trans is a ploy to groom and rape children is an example of hate speech I have seen on here.

No, that's all been talked through in court cases in the last few years. It is not illegal to state the truth that a man cannot become a woman. It's just fact. That a man may find it distressing does not make it illegal.

Pointing out the actual cases in which a man has used his trans status to access victims is also not illegal.

Careful you’ll be accused of “hate speech” for posting a report to a case which could never have happened.

MintGr33n · 15/09/2026 17:31

YANBU.

It’s appalling and the same with autism.

MN needs to do more and own it.

These wild and offensive claims. No one on mn has said any of this. If they did it would be a TRA trolling and they'd be deleted.

helpfulucy · 15/09/2026 17:31

Gloriia · 15/09/2026 17:13

And yet I haven't seen any of those posts.

I've just seen people repeatedly and patiently explain that men should not access women only areas regardless of how they dress.

Edited

I've quoted several on this thread that have said

''a lot of chaps are well aware that public cross-dressers are compulsively displaying a fetish. Not everyone is prepared to accept that.''

@IHaveQuestionsLotsOfQuestions said 'I've seen that video and as far as I'm concerned, all it shows is two men being twats in different ways.
One is indulging his fetish in public and co-opting non-consenting onlookers as his fetish props.' and 'Most men who pretend to be women are fetishists. They are straight men who have wanked themselves into autogynephilia.
I said what I said.'

And as stated above, this KJK said, "I don’t care if perverts are treated badly by others in public. The more torment and shame the better, if you ask me."

As for her being banned, I don't know, maybe she is secretly one of the first two posters because they all appear to be saying the same things. Than anyone deemed to be wearing feminine clothes when you think they shouldn't is a dangerous perverts who want to hurt women and children. How you can say those things and no expect people to eventually take matters into their own hands is beyond me.

I don't think it's an extreme view that most people believe paedophiles should be immediately jailed if not shot in the street. To continue to tar an entire group of people, with absolutely zero evidence, is incitement. The same as saying all immigrants are rapists. If you go around spouting that you can't then be shocked when they try to burn down the hotels.

And when has MN been found legally guilty of hate speech?

Suggest you report the Beeb for 'hate speech'.

Wishesandhorses · 15/09/2026 17:29

Report posts that contain anything you feel is 'hate speech' - whatever that actually is - and if HQ agree it will be deleted. This board is moderated, probably and historically more harshly than anywhere else. Women aren't really supposed to be blunt about their betters.

A fair amount of the swiss cheese posts historically too, were down to TRAs who got so fed up at the lack of anything demonstrably hateful that they joined up, posted awful things themselves and instantly screenshotted it on Twitter as it was, to prove it was happening on MN. This is the level of infantile moral-devoid nonsense women are having to put up with. Hence now the length of time needed on this board before you can join and a huge list of PBPs.

Well it depends how you define ‘hate speech’ doesn’t it.

If you have decided it’s hate speech to say men can’t become women, then guilty as charged.

But if you declare the truth ‘hate speech’ the problem is with you, not the truth tellers

It’s public knowledge that mumsnet has had problems with hate speech.
I am not some random making a spurious claim.
It’s even in published scientific studies and numerous books.

Or you can go to other parts of MN where mumsnetters openly discuss the hate speech they have come across on here.

But anyway take the book recommendation or leave it.

You absolutely are a random making a spurious claim, which you can’t back up. “Hate speech” to TRAs means not agreeing that men are women. That’s the “problem” MN has. Take a little trip to any other site, and you’ll find death threats and rape threats abound. From lovely men on the left to women they disagree with on politics. That’s the company you and your high minded friends keep so I wouldn’t be too sanctimonious.

Evidence and examples please. Mumsnet allow posters to defend women's rights and women only spaces. That is not hate speech.

Why do you think men should access women only spaces?

I never cease to be amazed by the number of women who are more than prepared to give away womens' rights; why?

OP tends to start many a post with insults- the snarky comment re day jobs???
Retired? Stay at home mums? Recently experienced redundancy?
FWR (and other boards) consists of a variety of posters in different circumstances. And those with the big fat cheques from the Far Right of course 🙄

Have there been any comments from the anti-womens' rights posters, regarding the 'terf is a slur' site? Or the vitriol on Reddit? Or the threats ? Or shouting down with loud hailers when women meet?

I haven't seen the aforementioned video, that sparked this thread.
Sounds unpleasant but it's not the fault of women!

It wasn't an insult I was just shocked by the idea that because I keep normal hours I was accused of doing a 'plop and run' and my supposed 'silence' was seen as some sort of failure when I was just sleeping/at work/having a life.

Maybe you all are retired or SAHM but it's odd that those of us who have to work and not spend all day on this post are being shamed for it.

Yep. Women are always used as playing chips in men's cultural wars. Our role in this is to visually perform their cultural values, whether that means wearing the veil or unrobing with trans women. And they fight each other with fury over which group of men gets to decide what "good" women must do.

😖Ouch. How depressingly fucking true. And what is worse - women attacking other women for not playing men's games on their behalf.
