Gender Critical MNers Gathering Together On Twitter.

Creating this thread for those who want to follow/share/connect/engage with other gender critical MNers on Twitter after the suggestion was made on this thread to group together there to raise awareness of our concerns around the possibility of gender self identity replacing gender reassignment in the uk and trans ideology etc.

If you'd like to take part then please Pm me your Twitter name, over the weekend I will compile a list of MNers Twitter names and PM them back out to everyone on Monday. As it'll be an ongoing thing, I will add other Twitter handles that are sent after Monday and send updated lists via PM. Only your Twitter name will be given to other MNers and I won't share your MN username alongside your Twitter account with anyone.

If you know of any other public Twitter profiles that are openly gender critical such as Magdelan Burns, please feel free to share their Twitter names too and I shall add to the list.

Before you sign up for Twitter you will need an email or phone number for verification.
Understandably, many don't feel safe linking personal phone number or personal emails to gender critical posts so it might be best to create a separate email address for social media sites etc where you want to speak about concerns raised in the other threads. Gmail, outlook, yahoo are three sites off the top of my head that provide free web based email accounts.

When you click on sign up in Twitter it will give the option of signing up with a mobile number as a default but if you scroll down a little, there's an option to "use email instead"

Following this link should take you to the sign up page with the email option already selected.

If you are worried about your IP address being used to locate you, you can use VPN (Virtual Private Network) software/services that camouflage your actual IP and make it look as if you are accessing the Internet from elsewhere. I use an Android app called VPN master which can be downloaded from google play and once installed, it's just a case of opening app and and switching it on and accessing Internet as usual. You can have the VPN running all the time but it can drain battery so I open app and turn back off after using. There should be similar apps for iOS and Windows, I will link them in later post if I get time.

I can create a bunch of email and Twitter accounts for people if they are struggling, but wont be able to do it until Monday. I'll be less active online over the weekend but wanted to get the thread up so that people can start PMing their Twitter names.

Thanks for all your time and effort. Hope you get some lovely family time and Wine

I think a hashtag is a great idea. #MNGenderCritical ?

OverthinkingSpartacus · 11/03/2017 17:46

Just quickly checking in to thank everyone for the PMs.

I don't have time to reply to everyone today but I will, we have family staying and it's been hectic is weekend.

Someone asked if we had a hashtag, if everyone thinks it's a good idea is there a current one we can use or should we create a one?

Also about getting high profile twitterers to follow us, we could tweet the link to this thread directly to them.

If everything goes well here and no family drama happens I may be able to PM our list back out this evening or tomorrow Morning to everyone.

OK think I did that. I think.....

Anther question. So transwomen do not share girlhood. Females share being socialised as a girl. Patriarchies are not all the same & religion yadada all influence how we experience girlhood. And I'm too dumb to see that.

Imo all the other factors are how we experience life. Girlhood is the experience of being socialised as less than males. So how do I counter the above? Other than not engaging with someone who resorts to insulting me with a bunch of big words?? Ideas anyone?

WobblyLegs5 · 11/03/2017 15:02

OK thanks I will look

MercyMyJewels · 11/03/2017 14:48

You can change the email in privacy and settings Wobbly

WobblyLegs5 · 11/03/2017 14:45

Can I switch that with the actual account I have? I don't tweet about anything local/personal.

MercyMyJewels · 11/03/2017 14:28

It is safer to be linked to a non personal email account. Also, what do you tweet about? Is there anything about your tweets/following/followers that could give people a clue to your identity - local politics, hobbies, that sort of thing?

Also, accounts can be hacked, so best not to have a real email address. Plus if you need to delete the account, you can delete it and the email account rather than having to delete an actual personal email, with all the hassle (and risk) that that would entail. It is really easy to set up a gmail account, it takes less than a minute

WobblyLegs5 · 11/03/2017 14:16

Mercy, what does it matter if I use my real email? Just curious as I'm a bit techno phoBic & I allways assumed twitter was safe..... (don't use fb bc feels unsafe)

I've had my twitter account for ages. Nothing identifying in names or in my email. It suggests rl ppl I know to contact with but I just ignore that. And afaiw they don't follow me either. Am I safe?

MercyMyJewels · 11/03/2017 14:13

Miffer
If you follow too many accounts too quickly, Twitter thinks you are an automatic account and will lock it.

Create a new email with gmail or similar. Don't use personal stuff and you don't have to leave another email or phone number - just select skip (gmail). Then set up another twitter account but take your time following people. You should have to give your phone number then

WobblyLegs5 · 11/03/2017 14:12

I recueved a tweet about the 'eggs' getting treated like bots.

I've never changed my egg the whole time I was there & it's never stopped me using Twitter. Not sure why/if it will make a difference but the tweet said sonething about us eggs being pressumed to be trolls

WobblyLegs5 · 11/03/2017 14:08

Magdalen burns account is working fine when I just checked, if working fine means I can still look at it/read everything. I 'recueved' her tweets just yesterday.

Pink stinks is another good twitter to check, about kids being kids rather than the trans stealing fem space but still good.

Miffer · 11/03/2017 14:02

When I tried to make a new Twitter account it told me I was acting like a bot and demanded a phone number.

It did this twice.

Looks like I can't make one.

Godstopper · 11/03/2017 13:45

It says the MagdalenBurns account has been suspended Confused

WobblyLegs5 · 11/03/2017 13:32

Lisa muggerbridge

Miranda Yardley is on there too

Don't know the exact details but googling names plus twitter gives the link up buttom

mirrorisnotmyfriend · 11/03/2017 13:29

Will be good to put together a list of people who we could all follow and try to engage with.
Lena Dunham is one?
Will think of others.

mirrorisnotmyfriend · 11/03/2017 12:38

We need to get followed and retweeted by influential Twitter users too - any ideas how?

dangermouseisace · 11/03/2017 10:57

Just sent you a pm. It's my first instigation of a pm so if it doesn't work please tell me!

MercyMyJewels · 11/03/2017 10:34

This is a bot which follows and tweets Gender Critical accounts

@GenderCritical

thedogsitter · 11/03/2017 10:08

I will join you all :-)

I also know a few good GC accounts to follow:

@4th_WaveNow
@bo_novak
@asknic

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 11/03/2017 09:54

Just sent a pm. It's my real Twitter account so if anyone follows me would you be kind and not mention it on here? I know I'm outing myself irl but meh, I don't usually back down from bullies so decided not to make an exception for this.

LilaTheLion · 11/03/2017 09:09

Handy how to from Mashable mashable.com/2012/06/05/twitter-for-beginners/#tV1aS86dSZqP

I've pm'd my twitter name. Fed up with being too scared to be honest. I'm anonymous but have real friends there. Some of whom are going to be very cross with me indeed.

No idea how to start a group on it for eg.
Will pm with my twitter name.
