The backstory:

I noticed as you do that a post came up on my Facebook newsfeed for whatever reason the algorithm decided I might be interested in such a post. I decided to ask a question, please feel free to let me know your views, personally I came to the conclusion that with this level of non critical thinking or non thinking we may as well give up as a species:

PS With regard to James Redfield exactly what is your issue with the post headed "Perhaps it is love — remembering love — that could lead to restoring truth and civility?" Strange how you zoomed in on selective posts?

I can still see the original post & 20 comments in response.

Can some kind person show FarFrom how paragraph breaks work?

FarFrom. What is your issue with Reiki? When I was working as a full time lecturer I found it to be incredibly relaxing after a busy stressful day. You are of course entitled to have any opinion you choose but how I choose to spend my leisure time is my concern and in no way detracts from my former career within the biological sciences. Likewise you are entitled to hold whatever views you wish regarding my posts on "trans" issues however you do not know me or my circumstances and I can assure you that my posts come from a very informed and personal view and yes it is something that I am passionate about having seen the damage done to people I know personally.

I can't fucking stand this hyper-aggressive discourse, which is employed by so many of these people. Foul little directives like "educate yourself", "do keep up", "got that?" etc etc.

Bitter, nasty, demeaning and patronising deflection from ANY engagement with truth or intelligent debate...thoroughly rancid non-communication.

ItsNachoCheese · 24/01/2018 22:54

Its still there i just clicked on to it again

FarFrom · 24/01/2018 22:53

I would be more concerned about someone teaching biology promoting reiki and the celestine prophecy, I dislike most of what many of you say about trans issues on the feminist boards and dont agree with you.However scientifically about this you are right. It seems however you are selective about scientific endeavour and the favourite term on here 'critical thinking' if supporting such total belief based un scientifically backed up 'treatments'. I have only looked at your details because you posted them- and are drawing attention to apparently being a scientist.

Can you screen shot it please Datun - it has been taken down

Datun · 24/01/2018 22:44

Do you mean the Facebook post? Because being it's still there for me. Including the bit where she says she's going to get you fired.

Patodp · 24/01/2018 22:44

Eye roll at the predictable immediate leap to "intersex".

I think this was the report. I don't know if it will be of any help to you.

Blimey, that was awful. You did well to be polite in the face of rank stupidity.

Jozxyqk · 24/01/2018 22:22

I've seen a report somewhere which essentially debunks the 45% suicide statistic, I think - on the basis that this figure was based on an extremely small number of transgender people, therefore not statistically reliable. I'll try to find it.

Ratspit · 24/01/2018 22:19

Whatnext- I have seen your posts on Another FB feminist page. Always considered and insightful.

ThomasRichard · 24/01/2018 22:17

Has the post been deleted OP? I can’t see it anymore.

GreenSeededGrape · 24/01/2018 22:16

A transwomen is a transwomen. That's the correct statement and one I would support 100%

Why is there a sudden almost palbable desire to be a 'woman'? It's not fucking easy having XX chromosome, I don't need to wear heels and lippy to juggle working f/t, carry two dc to full term and birthing them, bf and then being the one to transition back to work and start my period again until fuck knows when then having meno to look forward too Hmm

AngryAttackKittens · 24/01/2018 22:13

Dear Chair of Biology Department,

I encountered one of your former employees on Facebook and do you know what she was saying? Do you? That women don't have Y chromosomes! Which we all know to be a primary school level understanding of biology which science has moved on from.

Please fire her immediately. I know she's already retired, but if you really cared you'd build a time machine, go back a few years, and fire her then. And also make her write "I am an evil bigot" on the board in the lecture theater 100 times.

If you don't do this I will assume that you want my child to die. No love.

A Concerned Parent"

irretating · 24/01/2018 22:11

The WHO article she posted is transphobic. It says gender is a social construct that varies across different cultures and over time. This is hate speech and causing literal violence to trans people.

Seriously though, well done keeping your cool.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 24/01/2018 22:11

According to one post

...if you self ID as trans you are trans...

I dont think they thought that one through

Datun · 24/01/2018 22:11

No worries.

I agree, it's completely public.

It's just a suggestion.

Can't help feeling that drawing attention to it is a tactic of TRAs. I hate that we have to remain squeakyclean, I just feel a little odd about this one.

( if you're worried, you could get it deleted and start again using screenshots).
