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.

You won't see your mentions on other people's pages because the mentions is people you've mentioned. If you search @(whoever you tweeted) and don't go to their page but just the search it should be there. Hope that makes sense.

I've joined Twitter but for some reason when I tweet @... I can see it on my page but I can't see it on theirs. Any ideas why? I can't see "mentions" at all, again only on my feed. In my settings, I haven't ticked the box which limits tweets to those that follow you and whom you follow, so everyone should be able to see them. I am using the official Twitter app on my phone though and I've deleted my phone number from my account setting (you can prevent tweets from ppl that don't have verified email or phone number, etc), so could that be it?

QuentinSummers · 13/03/2017 19:16

Also in terms of who to tweet Glosswitch and Rebecca Reilly Cooper (boodleoops) might be a good start

QuentinSummers · 13/03/2017 19:13

I just put #realwomenhavevaginas on another thread but I like #adulthumanfemale too!

EatSpamAmandaLamb · 13/03/2017 18:19

I really like #adulthumanfemale too.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 13/03/2017 18:08

I like #adulthumanfemale!

Just managed to make a new twitter account. Had a sex chat line follower even before I'd done the email verification, blocked it and was instantly locked out! Things have changed since I last set an account up, the automated locker outerer seems a bit trigger happy Grin

It took ages to get back in, now it has suggested I follow Danielle Muscato! I think I'll give that one a day or two ...

I'm going for a neutral profile and will include a fair amount of general newsy / sciency / health / leftish tweets as well I think. It makes it a bit less trollish looking and less likely to be blocked.

I don't think we should get too fixated on hash tags at this stage. We need one, which can be quite obscure, so we can find each other - maybe #MNGC (MN gender critical)? Or whatever most of you have started using already.

Aside from that, I don't think there are enough of us to get anything trending at this point so I think we'd be better off using whichever tags seem appropriate and popular in relation to current events.

CaroleService · 13/03/2017 17:26

#adulthumanfemale ?

tuffragette?

DJBaggySmalls · 13/03/2017 16:22

There isnt a hashtag that cant be taken over or subverted, I dont think we should worry about that. I just needs to be short and snappy. Are there any copywriters about?
We may need to make a succession of tags if they are taken over.

Thisisouting · 13/03/2017 16:07

Well I'm going to keep going with what I'm doing when you all decide on something I'll be back.

EatSpamAmandaLamb · 13/03/2017 15:55

Why don't we set up a poll to agree a hashtag?

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 13/03/2017 15:55

Although that might be too cryptic

EatSpamAmandaLamb · 13/03/2017 15:54

You can schedule tweets (and other social media posts) using things like buffer, hootsuite and Thunderclap.it can amplify www.thunderclap.it/howitworks they have a useful video here. I have seen obviously amplified posts written off in debates though.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 13/03/2017 15:52

What about #emperorisnaked?

Notafish · 13/03/2017 15:50

You can use a thunder clap to time tweets to go live all at the same time. I don't know anything about setting one up but I have participated in them before.

Thisisouting · 13/03/2017 15:49

#biologyisnotbiogtry is not clean anymore as it's been used in "transphobic" tweets.

We need something clean that can't be dismissed as transphobic or subverted

Thisisouting · 13/03/2017 15:46

Plus it can be taken over by the trans activists and subverted.

They have no connection to suffragettes because they are male and they've always had the privilege of being able to vote it's something uniquely female. They won't understand it so can't subvert it.

Thisisouting · 13/03/2017 15:44

Sciencenotsilence is already taken.....

EatSpamAmandaLamb · 13/03/2017 15:43

And if we are tweeting a link to an article try to @ the both the author, the publication and any high profile people linked to the publication.

OverthinkingSpartacus · 13/03/2017 15:41

To get things trending there needs to be a volume of tweets and interaction at the same time. If we can all pick a time and tweet statements within a half hour period once we number more than 250 it could work depending on the day and time we all tweet.
In a "campaign to trend" it would ideally start the first 5-10 minutes with everyone tweeting a non identical, single tweet statement along the same topic lines with only the main hashtag and no links. Followed 2-3 mins later by a similar style tweet with only the hashtag and a link.
Then start retweeting and quote retweeting (make sure to use that hashtag in quote retweets) and liking each other along with discussing back and forth. Using images with quotes and the hashtag is an incredible way to deliver well thought out information at rapid fire. After 10-15 mins of this then all start to include other (more commonly) used hashtags along with the original to draw attention and others into the debate. Then start @ing prominent people such as celebs, bloggers and politicians.

Sorry I haven't been online as much as I'd hoped today, had to go out today, I've caught up on PMs and will catch up on this thread now.

Im adding all the public gender critical profile names mentioned on this thread and also sent to me via PM and will post that list today. There's also more MN names to add so I'll be sending another uodated list today too.

@Miffed. i have an activated SIM card in an old iPhone I'm giving to my Mam, (she's using an ancient Nokia still) she's not getting the phone until the weekend so if you need a number to link to Twitter you can use that one and I'll PM the code to verify? Just pm me if you need the number. My mam is ok with it being used :)

What about #ScienceNotSilence

WobblyLegs5 · 13/03/2017 15:29

I like caitlin stasey's twitter rants when she gets going

I have tones of us celebs I tweet this stuff, but unsure of more UK ones?

Ellen or other lesbians might be worth tweeting the cotton ceiling links? I can't get that one to work on my phone

& maybe tweet charities too- women's aid the link about the shelter etc?

MercyMyJewels · 13/03/2017 15:20

I've done a few tweets but something has gone wrong, nit coming up under search. Have to go see to DC so will sort it later
