Wrong side of history

514 replies

LyraPotter · 15/01/2018 16:35

Here is something I know to be true: those campaigning against trans rights will fail. Your money will be raised and spent and wasted. Your legal challenges will not succeed. Your relentless attempts to do injustice will fail. You are on the wrong side of history. Your children will grow up knowing better than you. You cannot stop progress. Your efforts are in vain.

And every time I'm proven right - every time a court judgment goes against you and every time a law protecting trans men and women is passed and every time equality is further enshrined in the laws of this country I am going to return to this thread for the pure and petty purpose of telling you I TOLD YOU SO.

You're a majority on here but a real world minority, a tragic outpost of the seventies becoming increasingly agitated in the face of your growing irrelevance.

You’re talking about ‘women’ there, aren’t you.

EamonnWright · 15/01/2018 19:11

Obviously I'm not replying to your posts individually, there are literally a hundred of you and one of me hmm but being one of a crowd on MN (one of the most right wing and reactionary sites on the internet...) doesn't make you right. You're a majority on here but a real world minority, a tragic outpost of the seventies becoming increasingly agitated in the face of your growing irrelevance. Transphobia is a dying art and you're struggling to find young people to carry your flag forward. In a hundred years time, when trans men and women are no longer discriminated against and abused and oppressed, your descendants will wonder how you could ever have thought the way you did

Aye I'm sure Tom O'Carroll thought similar.

No cigar mate

In 100 years time, babies will still be made using SPERM and EGGS from Men and Women. Hope that helps.

Great latest donation - who knew that they cared so much

ATeardropExplodes · 15/01/2018 19:09

Oh Lyra Potter you old stooze. Looks like you donated yourself.

coldcanary · 15/01/2018 19:08

This thread has done a positive thing for me at least - it’s payday (finally!) and donating was the thing I meant to do today and completely forgot in the usual Monday rush of kids, school run and work so thanks OP!!

Every time I hear 'wrong side of history'. I think 'Paedophile Information Exchange

Quite. The infiltration of gay groups and left wing organisations. Then ease things in such as that wee boy in drag I seen the other day. Condemnation of which was shouted down by Gay magazine 'Out'.

We are not allowed to post a direct link. But if you google go fund me and Jennifer James you will get it.

It's nearly up to £13,000. All from a fiver here and a tenner there.

Datun · 15/01/2018 19:04

Every time I hear 'wrong side of history'. I think 'Paedophile Information Exchange'.

Yup. Along with lobotomies, recovered memory syndrome and the Orkney child abuse scandal.

AskBasil · 15/01/2018 19:03

Have you told the men on Reddit, Twitter, etc. Lyra?

Have you told straight men that they are transphobes if they don't want to fuck transwomen?

Let's see what response you get from them.

They've got more money than women. They can raise loads more than we can for a legal challenge.

Beachcomber · 15/01/2018 19:03

Women are used to being erased from history.

Being on the wrong side of male dominated history would be progress. Count me in.

SimonBridges · 15/01/2018 19:01

Can some please post or pm me a link to the go fund me page?

It's so sad that people would find it funny or good that women's rights are disappearing.

It doesn't even rattle anger with me anymore, it genuinely just makes me sad.

genehuntswife · 15/01/2018 18:54

Just donated in honour of Lyra

Datun · 15/01/2018 18:53

All mouth and no trousers. Ironically.

Agerbilatemycardigan · 15/01/2018 18:49

Maybe she knows that her money isn't worth the paper it's printed on Datun

BelaLugosisShed · 15/01/2018 18:47

Yep, ‘Lyra’s’ slip is well and truly showing.

Sad really.

Datun · 15/01/2018 18:44

Lyra

Instead of venting your spleen on here, why don't you copy and paste that OP on AIBU?

If you're so convinced that we are on the wrong side of history, why don't you tell that to the 12 million unique users on mumsnet, where there is the greatest traffic?

Put your money where your mouth is.

Fekko · 15/01/2018 18:40

Lyra is no feminist. He/she/it/doo-dah is fighting in the male corner.

Datun · 15/01/2018 18:38

Lyra has been reigning it in all over the feminist boards for weeks.

Unfortunately for them, we see it.

Now the mask has dropped, quite spectacularly.

Like it always, always does.

I just hope they never play poker, they'd be crap at it.

Vango · 15/01/2018 18:38

Considering the current state of female representation in the UK judicial system you may very well be right Lyra. But for the wrong reasons.

bambambini · 15/01/2018 18:37

The narcissistic rage is strong in this one...

Lol - Can just imagine Lyra sitting reading the thread with the Janet Mock fury - that anger/rage you often see in Janet’s eyes - even though Janet’s trying to cover it up with a sweet but all knowing feminine smile. 🤗
