I Would Like To Propose A Solution To The Trans Threads Problem

559 replies

DioneTheDiabolist · 31/08/2016 22:08

Dear MNHQ, I am pissed off with all the Trans threads. I understand that you don't wish to stifle debate/free speech and all that shit, so I propose 4 threads where all trans posts can be hidden go.

A Fuck Trans thread. For posters who hate that people are trans.
A Yay Trans thread. For posters who wish to support trans people.
A Trans Bunfight Club thread. For posters on the other two threads who want to have a bit of a ruck.
And a What MNHQ Have To Say About Trans Threads thread. For, well I think you get my drift.

All other trans posts on the site can be deleted, no other threads can be started and I can enjoy the site more.

People complained when Brexit threads were all over the place resulting in the creation of a Brexit topic - and that was only for two or three weeks. Trans discussions have been going on for months. Logically therefore there absolutely should be a separate forum for trans topics.

Kimmy, his "mulling" was bad enough.Hmm I think if he had Frog Chorussed, someone would have actually killed him.

I ended it when he told me that I was to sex, what Linda McCartney was to music. Bastard.Angry

Twentycups, sorry to hear your thread was transjacked. I saw it and thought your necklace was lovely. I'm not into vulva necklaces as a thing, but I do have a lovely silver and amber necklace that looks a bit like a vulva.

Grin Suppose it could have been worse. He could have Frog chorused. Wink

He was a very tallented musician Abbey. He "Mulled" on fucking purpose.Angry

And agree with PP that single threads don't help - they get full and then you get thread 2, 3 etc

Please just give the trans/anti-trans lobbies their own topic to discuss it ad nauseum

AbbeyBartlet · 01/09/2016 01:08

Can it please be put in a separate topic? That way those who are interested in discussing it in great detail and declaring they are Spartacus etc can do so without bothering everyone else, most of whom don't give a toss.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 01/09/2016 01:03

dione

Did he "mull" on purpose?

Or does everything he plays eventually turn into "mull"?

SenecaFalls · 01/09/2016 00:29

Like when one of my Exs used to pretend to sing/play a good song but turned it into Mull of Kintyre 6 bars in.

Not going to wade in on the topic at hand, but this is the funniest thing I have read on MN all week. And so true of many sorts of threads on here of late.

Sparklingbrook · 01/09/2016 00:29

Aww thanks.I find it's quite hard to join in on MN at the moment Dione so I have sort of stopped trying to to a certain extent. Just seems like hard work.

CoteDAzur · 01/09/2016 00:24

That's good to hear, Dione.

I know that it is absolutely devastating to have to see a thread on a subject you are not interested in, but at least you can self-soothe. That's great.

The FF/BF threads were the Trans threads of about 7 years ago Sparkling. I'm Sad you're not here so much I love your sparkly brookiness.

Aw Cote, your concern is touching.💕 But you don't need to worry about me, I have this self soothing stuff nailed.

Well, you can always come back in the future, if/when you feel less fragile.

paxillin · 01/09/2016 00:04

It worked for the sporners. Been a long time since I saw someone squeeze unspeakables from nether regions by accidental click.

Sparklingbrook · 01/09/2016 00:03

I am not on MN much any more Cote, it just isn't worth it.

CoteDAzur · 01/09/2016 00:01

Good to hear that you'll get over having to spend a few seconds pulling a face, Sparkling. I know it's tough. Upwards and onwards.

I don't know about Dione, though. "Rocking gently, stroking my own face"?

This thread is a revelation. I would have never guessed that it's so easy to push people to the edge of a mental breakdown.

Sparklingbrook · 01/09/2016 00:00

Grin Dione.

I would love to have one thread for certain Groundhog Day topics especially the BF/FF stuff. They always end up the same.

CoteDAzur · 31/08/2016 23:58

"what I am proposing would be really helpful to those who wish to discuss trans stuff. Everything would be easily found and commented on in whichever of the 4 proposed threads that suit."

Why limit that to trans threads? We should have 1 thread for breastfeeding vs formula feeding, 1 thread for buggies on busses, 1 thread for prams in disabled loos, etc. It's not like anything new is being said on those topics.

Except that it would drastically reduce the volume on MN and that would mean much lower ad revenue. Somehow I don't think MNHQ will go for your proposal there, Dione.

I don't so much Hmm Sparkling as rock gently, stroking my own face and soothingly whispering "shh, there there Dione, there there, it's alright, everything is Ok".

DP is the one who ends up doing the Hmm face.

No. Because it's not as simple as 'fuck trans' vs 'yay trans': you have to have a 'hmm, can we just have a think about trans' first.

Also is it me or is this thread itself 'yet another trans thread '?

7Days · 31/08/2016 23:54

Pshaw Dione. You are made of sterner stuff than that.

Sparklingbrook · 31/08/2016 23:54

I will be absolutely fine thanks Cote don't you worry.

7Days · 31/08/2016 23:53

But that's Other People for you.
They will talk utter shite about stuff you are not interested in.

DioneTheDiabolist · 31/08/2016 23:53

Oh it is an ordeal 7days. It is very much an ordeal. Like when one of my Exs used to pretend to sing/play a good song but turned it into Mull of Kintyre 6 bars in.

Anyway, what I am proposing would be really helpful to those who wish to discuss trans stuff. Everything would be easily found and commented on in whichever of the 4 proposed threads that suit.
