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.

I'm in too. Just signed up to Twitter. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I think I've just sent my first tweet about the rape that wasn't what it seemed.

Scissorcisters · 12/03/2017 22:03

Of course you can use more than one # but the message will need to be shorter. Using a well known one will reach a wider audience as people do search for # tags.

So someome searching for #Spartacus may not add you, as may like naked Roman blokes,, but someone searching for #gendercritcal would.

Look at the tags for the TRAs to see what I mean. I work in this area so just a suggestion.

Scissorcisters · 12/03/2017 21:55

If you search #Spartacus on twitter there are some mumsnets posts but you will always be competing against the original Spartacus and the very popular tv show of the same name.

Do you need a unique one. Even Iamspartacus, mngendercritical or the shorter versions mentioned before?

To trend in a meaningful way you do need something unique. Even joining known # tags may be good ie #gendercritcal.

Fraid so. Here is the Norway story. Here is an article by Rolling Stone (hardly a bastion of conservatism) outlining the problems with Amnesty's policy on sex work. Apparently it's every girl's human right to be sexually exploited for cash Hmm

NineReasons · 12/03/2017 18:52

Shiny, thanks for letting me know, very disappointed to hear that about Amnesty.

MercyMyJewels · 12/03/2017 18:22

The waves of PeakTrans keep-a-coming

MercyMyJewels · 12/03/2017 18:21

Shiny
Really? Fuck.
I always rated Amnesty, Is nothing real anymore?

WobblyLegs5 · 12/03/2017 18:14

Maybe someone within law should be checking if it meets the criteria for inciting hatred

Ollycat · 12/03/2017 17:39

WankingMonkey I've looked at the terfisalur website and was shocked by some of the things they had screen shotted - are these transwomen not prosecuted for hate crimes? Are they trying to erase us from the definition of woman so that transwomen = women and we are not men??

I'm genuinely a bit shook up by it all.

shinynewusername · 12/03/2017 17:11

Amnesty can fuck right off, I'm afraid, Nine. They have just succeeded in helping a TW overturn Norwegian law to be legally recognised as a woman and they think you are 'whorephobic' if you are against legalised brothels, despite all the evidence these harm women. They have totally sold out to the SJW crazies.

shinynewusername · 12/03/2017 17:03

I am openly gender critical on Twitter and a lot of well-known evil TERFS radical feminists follow me so my tweets do get seen by TRAs. Despite this, I have had little personal abuse and most of it has been stuff that I actually consider a compliment, mainly calling me a TERF Smile

So don't be put off by fear of constant rape threats etc. It's perfectly possible to engage with other GC people without too much interference. But do take the risk of dox-ing seriously.

NineReasons · 12/03/2017 16:56

WankingMonkey, I'm sorry to hear about the abuse you received on Twitter. Amnesty international want to hear from women who have experienced violence online.

Placemarking

Also, how do you send a PM if on a phone not laptop/computer? Can't seem to do it - I have got a laptop but usually follow these threads on a phone. Any ideas gratefully received!

WobblyLegs5 · 12/03/2017 16:41

Are we allowed to say 'post episiotomy repair flatulence' a women's issue or is that offensive too?

WobblyLegs5 · 12/03/2017 16:34

Thanks spartacus

Hi
If you are tweeting about the Caroline Flint thread, can you add her twitter handle @CarolineFlintMP to the text so that she receives the tweet

I like #Spartacus, perhaps we could call the campaign Spartacus Women's Campaign (SWC)?The Spartacus name can be used for many other things in real life campaigning. I think there is lot that can be done with it regards to marketing etc, to get publicity.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 12/03/2017 16:00

Thanks overthinking. I'll stick to my handle too.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 12/03/2017 15:57

Now we have to fet followers first before we start tweeteing and retweeting! Especially the main account.

OverthinkingSpartacus · 12/03/2017 15:28

I thought about using a male sounding name @DrinkFeckArseGirls but changed my mind because I wanted to be heard as a woman. I didn't want people to believe or add more weight to what I'm saying because they think I'm a bloke. I've noticed a in real life, I can say something about women issues and it's challenged, dh can say something about women's issues and it's accepted and agreed with, people will go "oooh I didn't realise"

I love #spartacus as a hashtag and also love the idea of us all tweeting an article each day too.

Today can we all tweet @CoolJazz thread on site stuff, she's wanting as much support on it by tomorrow. Im going to direct message some of the high profiles mentioned here and ask if they wouldn't mind retweeting to their followers. Here's the link to the thread.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2874341-Could-we-please-have-MP-Caroline-Flint-on-for-a-Webchat

I'm going through my PMs now so will reply to everyone soon.

SpartacusRaven · 12/03/2017 15:23

It's an optional account security thing - you can make it so you can only log into Twitter if you enter both your password and a code which is texted to you. Makes your account harder for others to hack since I'd need both your password and your phone to get in.

But account security and personal safety aren't the same thing, I may be wrong but I find it safer to be as anonymous as possible
