Have seen two totally irrelevant threads on the board. Both regarding babies. I wonder if someone is trying to remind us of our proper function. The only purpose I can think of is to drive 'proper ' threads down the board. I have reported the threads suggesting that they are moved to chat but not commented as I don't want to bump them. Suggest this might be a good way to deal if we get lots of these.

Still no diagram? I was really hoping!

I'm actually quite disappointed we haven't heard back about this magical venn diagram that will put us all in our places uppity women. Ah well. Back to reality it is!

Loving the posted venn diagramms. Except the ridiculous (women(transwomen)transpeople) one which is clearly silly Grin

Only posting as I am interested in the diagram everyone is waiting for. Which I fear will never come but..just incase

I have wondered what the incomparable Dr Zeuss would make of all this cis/trans/woman/man stuff.

Move over The Sneetches and other stories. It's 2018 and time for

The Cisses and the Terfragettes. Coming to a library near you.

No Venn diagram. No cake. It's a sad state of affairs.....

I'd imagine TRAs are getting increasingly desperate. They are relying on getting legislation changes through before anyone notices. Once people notice the changes will be held up to scrutiny by the general voting public, and no-one will want to pass such toxic legislation.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 13/02/2018 20:32

Don't know what other people think but it used to be VAWG threads that got sealioned, not trans ones. So maybe.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 13/02/2018 20:30

I love sea otters.

I love sealions more though.

Ho hum

Sunkisses · 13/02/2018 20:28

Has this increase in pointless 'sealion' posts on the Mumsnet feminist boards started since the Spectator article will have woken up all the trans activists and Men's Rights Activists (MRAs) that Mumsnet is humming with all this stuff? They are such spiteful saboteurs. Have you seen the TAs are trolling Woman's Place UK? They've created a similarly named twitter account, and are sending out hateful fake tweets, and even gloating when they get private messages from women thinking they are DMing WPUK. Horrible, horrible people

yeah, sad about no blinding revelation, but I did get to look at a picture of sea otters so the evening is not wasted.

I love that picture Grin

That diagram! Blimey. Could serve as an illustration of When Venn Diagrams Go Bad. I do love how they've handily made it pink and blue, and I particularly like how the categories of "woman" and "people" are discrete.

Disappointed that carrierwave isn't back with their diagram. Ho hum.

It is certainly important that women in particular are not silenced by men taking over or not letting us get a word in edgeways which happens on a lot of male dominated sites never mind often in real life. of course I also support the right of men to debate things but some shouting over women or ridiculous forming of new thread after new thread distracts from the real issues.

Also whilst some people are indeed trans much as they won't like me to say it they are pretty few, fairly de minimis and going on about issues so much that it means issues affected far far far more people i.e. women then find it hard to make space for the issues that matter more to be heard.
