How to discuss BBC 100 women list?

Hello

I've seen two threads attempting to discuss this list deleted today. Could you possibly give guidance about how the feminist issue of men taking the place of women in a list of women can be discussed on the feminism board without the thread being deleted?

Also considering the batshitery on other topics this seems very mild!!!

I did not see any comment that could be vaguely understood as transphobic.

Please @MNHQ don’t alienate those or us who come here for open discussions.

@SpindlesWinterWhorl

Did the threads perhaps get sabotaged so no sensible discussion could take place resulting in the Swiss cheese effect followed by deletion? That's a very annoying tactic.
nah - just 'poof'

I think we should discuss the list of 100 trans people and wonder why there are 98 women on it.......
Fancy all those women invading trans spaces! Shock

I didn't even know the threads had briefly existed!

Surely we should be able to discuss this topic in a Forstater-compliant way? That is, discussing a newsworthy item within the context of freedom of expression and protected belief, but without harassing people at work.

Yes I’d really like to know that too. It is a fact that TW are biological men otherwise what are they transitioning from & it is a fact that TW ie men have been included on a list of women

Why can’t we discuss this factual issue?
