They come up with this.

First post - Why Transwomen Aren't Biologically Male.

The comments are encouraging though, that is, the ones that haven't been deleted. Lots of people questioning and calling this out.

Lorna replied

She said the thread had only been reported today and they felt the tone of the post was inflammatory,

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 26/02/2017 19:31

I'm arguing on this thread too at the moment.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 26/02/2017 16:24

I guess so long as we're allowed to define women we should put up with it, Beyond.

BeyondUnderthinking · 26/02/2017 16:19

While I wouldn't argue with you prawn, I have seen "deluded" deleted before so I'm not surprised.

Mn seem to read it as a value judgement rather than a factual statement?

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 26/02/2017 16:15

But they are deluded. Sex changes are impossible. I can't imagine they ever would be possible. If I tried to present as the opposite sex I would know, however hard I tried, and however many other trans people I hung out with, that I wasn't actually the opposite sex. I'm sure this is why they go so batshit at anything that doesn't uncritically mirror their desired gender. As an identity, it must be as fragile as candyfloss.

Re the transpohbia thread: is it just me, or is it going in a completely different direction than it would have done 6m ago?

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 26/02/2017 15:32

People on the transphobia thread said they'd been reporting posts. I'm pretty sure that's where it came from.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 26/02/2017 15:29

I have reported my post so we can ask

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 26/02/2017 15:28

Agreed mercy

And its a shame the opening post wasnt deleted or amended

MercyMyJewels · 26/02/2017 15:27

But it was a reasonably long running thread. MNHQ, can you advise why it was deleted?

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 26/02/2017 15:18

Was it the deluded man bit

I agree clarification would be good

Its already a fucking tightrope without someone stood with a pair of scissors and not saying when they are goung to use them

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 26/02/2017 15:17

I find it very concerning that we don't know why.

CharlieSierra · 26/02/2017 15:15

Well I think we need clarification as to exactly what it was in the post which broke talk guidelines. It all looks factual to me.

BenLinusatemyhomework · 26/02/2017 14:05

Too many people being converted to "the dark side" maybe?

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 26/02/2017 14:04

On the deletion warning message Lorna said it was the opening post that was the problem so I screenshotted it. Most of it looks pretty factual to me. Maybe it's the reference to delusive men?

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 26/02/2017 13:57

I would like to know as well

If it turned into a bunfight fair enough

It was pootling along quite nicely last time i looked

thepinklantern · 26/02/2017 13:50

I've just come to say the same. Why?

MercyMyJewels · 26/02/2017 13:17

You'd think they would give us a clue as to why it has been deleted.

Glitteryunicorn · 26/02/2017 13:16

MNHQ cracking down because of the AIBU transphobia thread?

venusinscorpio · 26/02/2017 13:13

Perhaps it was the people on the other thread in AIBU who say they report everything they consider "transphobic".

venusinscorpio · 26/02/2017 13:11

I don't know. I can't remember what the last post I read was. It's only just gone.

MercyMyJewels · 26/02/2017 13:10

Deleted. No idea why

mirrorisnotmyfriend · 26/02/2017 13:06

No idea where it went!

OP posts:
Prawnofthepatriarchy · 26/02/2017 12:57

Yes, what happened? Anyone have any idea?

CaroleService · 26/02/2017 12:45

What happened on the peak trans thread? I only went to Waitrose ...
