Finally joined twitter

Oo I only joined at the weekend and I found most of those users all on my lonesome! #proud
Thanks for the useful hints everyone!

Oh take the Brexit bashing bullshit off to the EU Referendum board Red.

Are you sure about that?

I have to be !

People simply aren't that gullible.

Are you sure about that?

Exhibit A: a bus with nhs and £350 million written on the side

Exhibit B: an America First Cap with a made in China label

They honestly cannot keep up this DARVO bollocks forever.

People simply aren't that gullible.

Linda Bellos has tweeted:

Seen an edited version of my words on YouTube. I was referring to fighting back if I was attacked as Maria Mack was in Hyde Park in October. The impression created is that I intend to attack trans women. I was the only black person present and targeted. Is this racism?

yeah - abuse in TRA world wouldn't even register for most of us - on another thread someone mentioned some site 'shit terfs say'

and yeah, there were a few that I think were over the line, and they had a new acronym (SCAM or something) - so I'm guessing it's been lifted from some private group - because I've not heard that one. - but the vast majority were just women stating biological facts that you could find in any school textbook.

Complete fucking madness

Battleax, I've seen them calling terfs Orwellian too, we can't even have that!

Right so she was talking about men who had already attacked a woman, with a premeditated plan.

I've listened to what she said several times, it was about self defence and relevant in the context but unfortunately the way Linda worded it left her wide open to their interpretation.

I know Battle, that Vonny Bravo tweetstorm a pp posted last night is gobsmacking in its callousness, narcissism and general batshittery. It shouldn't have shocked me, but it did.

They're claiming "born female" is transphobic now. They twist everything. They just want ALL the words.

I'm bored of saying it's Orwellian but it is just so very Orwellian. Not in the context he imagined it at all, but he was spot on about the mechanism.

Lily reckons Linda Bellos 'threatened violence against 'transwomen'.

Self defence being interpreted as a threat. Same old bloody bollocks.

It was in reference to Speakers Corner etc. Maria McLachlan was also on the panel. It was at the We Need to Talk event in York in November. Which TRAs also managed to get cancelled at the original venue at the last minute and so participants and speakers had to go to a meeting point and await details of new venue. So it was quite tense!

There's a clip of Linda Bellos on a panel saying she did boxing and would "fuck em" if they come near her.

Did she name names?

Because isnt that like a dad saying if anyone hurts my daughter I'll knock his block off?

If you're not about to hurt his daughter, then it doesn't apply to you.

It's my strong suspicion if you look at the longer video it will become apparent that there is context to this that is being ignored. I think the talk was not long after speakers corner / the anarchist book fair so quite possibly in reference to that. But - I haven't seen the longer video yet so I'm guessing.

Apparently LB said that if someone attacked her like they did MM, she'd knock then out (paraphrased).

My vote is for wilful misinterpretation

Well if your definition of violence is calling a man a man you can see how that could happen.

Lily reckons Linda Bellos 'threatened violence against 'transwomen'. Where does that come from? Is it based on a misinterpretation or is it a downright lie?

Blocked by Lily Madigan already! Only been on twitter a couple of days.

"She"'s not into answering direct questions is "she"?

FFS that Vonny Bravo tweet thread! She's lovely. What sort of narcissistic fucker makes what is being talked about (I don't normally do trigger warnings but it's severe child sexual abuse) about themselves and their ridiculous "cause"?

Over 16000 votes and 80% say no. Reading here and on Twitter I would think this would be the other way round, so people would say yes.

There is no such thing as bots. Nor is there over representation of TRAs in IT.

Waves hand Jedi like.

" don't link your twitter handle to your mumsnet user name!"

That's only if you post across the boards though isn't it?

If I only post here, and I haven't got my real name on my MN account, then I can't see the harm?

Mine's @jessicazoeb

Just seen this on Twitter.

I’ve really had enough now. The quoted tweet is by a feminist.
