Some bloke called Mike said his TIM friend spent the day crying because we are all meanies.

Awww, fucking diddums. You lot are awesome.

I thought I’d peaked but this plus the comments took me to new levels

I peak transed several years ago when someone I followed very sympathetically on twitter (him being very talented but needy and all), despite his sharing increasingly misogynistic transactivist articles, started yelling that he'd been misgendered at a hospital appointment and he hated all cis women and their fucking cis privilege, they should all fuck off and die. He blocked me shortly after that, even though I'd been too shocked to respond.

That is, I thought I'd peak transed, but Alps on Alps arise. Danielle Muscato. "Suck my lady dick." -Ian Lian Huntley. Self ID. The Labour Party and Lily. Women's Aid. FFS, Women's Aid.

Is there anyone lurking that can get the message out to Rose that she has support here?? I would love her to read the comments, to contrast the twitter bullshit she must be seeing.

TheCatsPaws · 05/02/2018 16:07

I’m peaking too. Honestly, the Rose McGowan thing has really annoyed me.

ShotsFired · 05/02/2018 14:52

I saw on FB last night that a friend of a friend shared the Times article about transgender people working in DV centres to our mutual friend who works for a DV charity.

You can imagine the reaction. Hopefully that is several more coalface people Peaked and on at WA today.

(Wonders if that friend is a MNer - if so, Hi!!)

Luckily I have never heard cis in real life as I would be extremely offended.

Oh it would be a very regretful person who tried to cis me.

Auto correct is the bane of my existence.

Here is an apostrophe that I fling in hopes that it will reach the point where I wrote its instead of it's. '

thebewilderness · 04/02/2018 23:38

Express yourself, cuz it is better out than in.

MagnificentDelurker · 04/02/2018 23:32

But he was gone by the time I could comment. Now I have unspent anger.

MagnificentDelurker · 04/02/2018 23:31

That Mike guy made me de lurk so I could tell him off for being a patronising so and so.Grin

Wishforsnow · 04/02/2018 23:26

I rarely post on this website and just read threads. I have totally peaked on the trans issue. Why are so many pandering to such a miniscule minority of men who still have their penis intact stating they are women? Luckily I have never heard cis in real life as I would be extremely offended. I have seen all these posts as they show up in active and I think you are all doing an amazing job to highlight all the frankly horrendous issues.

hipsterfun · 04/02/2018 23:16

I’m sorry that Rose McGowan (I don’t really know who she is, or the full story - will Google now) had to endure it, but that episode was a gift in illustrating the nature of the problem.

IHeartKingThistle · 04/02/2018 23:10

Peaked yesterday at the shouting in the bookshop. My head just about exploded at 'I have been followed home.'

Fucking hashtag me too.

hipsterfun · 04/02/2018 23:08

We should adapt that model to mop up the credulous (I was credulous myself until fairly recently, though not to FL levels Grin).

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 04/02/2018 23:07

Yes that and a TIM attacked Rose McGowan while she was giving a talk about her book, asking why she wasn't talking about transwomen

That would have been bad enough, but turns out the dude is a bit of a perv.

But that still makes Rose a bigot. Or something.

I so wish she would come on here. She would have so much support.

Rose, if you are reading, I so admire you xxxx

ExFunFeminist · 04/02/2018 23:05

It was obvious that there was no friend, it was a goady thread.

Hidingtonothing · 04/02/2018 23:02

I've been peaking almost daily for a while now, DH is a little behind but not by much. Bit worried about the amount I find myself trying to leverage it into conversation, there's a fine line between spreading the word and folk avoiding me like a Forever Living evangelist Blush

AgonyBeetle · 04/02/2018 23:01

Ah. Shame. Hmm

hipsterfun · 04/02/2018 22:55

Some bloke called Mike said his TIM friend spent the day crying because we are all meanies. I think that was about the size of it.

AgonyBeetle · 04/02/2018 22:43

Without going the full TAAT, can someone fill me in on what happened today? I was busy with RL. Confused

Canklesofglitter · 04/02/2018 22:25

Peaked some time ago but have been lurking and learning. DH now peaked.

PositivelyPERF · 04/02/2018 22:23

P.s I’m so fucking peaked you could stick a flag on me as I’m sitting higher than mount Kilimanjaro.
