MNHQ - if you are going to contribute your thoughts to the trans debate, can you use a new thread

It's all about the Ego

Not me-railing, are you, Showmethewaytogohome?

Ego

So am I a non woman and non white woman? Still no answer

And I still so not understand what this thread is about tbh - and you haven't answered that either

Link to the other thread here

I've started a new thread in Site Stuff to discuss the MNHQ response (purely because this one has gone to five pages and has a bit of bun fightery in the middle, which could distract from the issues in hand on the MN statement)

Ego, I am somewhat confused by your OP, I'm guessing you want MNHQ to post a statement on their thoughts... eh ! If you mean a mission statement then that's already clear.

Would you ask any other platform such as this to make a statement on their views? Or is it that this forum is predominately viewed as female that you think they should have to state a view?

This thread reminds me of the Labour leadership wrangling.

Basically what I just said on the Spartacus thread ego. There are also only 16 posts left til it's full!!

#conspiracy...

So its a thread about using a new thread? Or does it actually have a topic. Oh the topic is just Trans but only for those who have 'hidden' thereby implying a status that they are not 'able' to comment freely on a public forum?

Oh and back to my question - what am I? I think that is a clear question. And contributes to any trans debate

I think this particular thread is dead now, since its aim was to get MNHQ to start a new thread re: trans issues and talk guidelines. They clearly didn't do this, so the conversation with HQ will be short since Spartacus is full

Confused - what is this thread about? As Ego hasn't answered my very logical questions on a different thread have no hope it will happen here

Is it an echo chamber or actually about something? Oh and am I a non white cis woman (intrigued)

Ego, there are many conversations being had all over MN re the trans topic, I would have thought you would welcome this?

Are you a target paid by HQ so the rest of us don't kill each other and all go for you?

OTOH, if a bell had rung every time something new was being said, it wouldn't have been very noisy. I can see people feel strongly about this, but a great majority appear to feel the same, with the same reasoning and even the same words.

Thanks for flagging it up, Olena.

MNHQ have just used the Spartacus post for their response...

Absolutely ipity, I just wanted to be clear that the aforementioned posts on this thread had been reported by me not ego. I neither know nor care who has reported what on other threads, I seldom do, but will report if I think someone is having a dig for the sake of it. (So I reported a thread about cbb being cliquey the other day as it was just unnecessary). but out of courtesy and because I stand by my actions, I will usually say on a thread 'reporting', many do. I didn't on this occasion as I did not want to influence the moderating decision iyswim: given the fact that I said on the the report "OP is being referred to as a man when they are a post op trans woman" I would take from that that MN guidelines have not^ changed.
I personally think that MN don't suppress compared to other sites and the amount of trans discussion over the last few years and threads that stand reflect that. I also have no problem with the general ethos of "play nice" but can understand why women have a problem with it if they feel that, in itself, is patriarchal.
That said, your post at 12.19 and Pax's post are, ime, true which is why I think ego is damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. If she engages, she is told she is merailing, if she doesn't she's told she is avoiding. Poor bugger cannot win, and if she's who I think, she has been engaging for years and still gets little respect for that, only put downs.
I can agree to disagree without being offended, but when a minority og posters come across as when I want your opinion I'll give it to you, fuck that, I'm out. (
