So, hands up if you have been blocked by LM on Twitter?

Due to the fact that I have never actually had any contact with LM, and had only liked (or did the heart thing - I'm a bit Twitter illiterate) 2 comments on a Twitter feed (1 - very politely pointed out that LM has not actually spoken about a single women's issue since being in the role and 2 - pointed out, again politely, that LM seems to be more interested in trans issues than women's issues).. I'm going to assume it doesn't take much to be blocked by LM.

I have never posted anything derogatory or even commented on anything to do with LM On Twitter.

Have I managed to be no platformed without actually saying a word? Hmm

Me too. I asked a question.
Is there a t-shirt?

I'm not blocked by Lily, but am apparently blocked by someone he's having a discussion about Clement Attlee with!

The mind boggles! Is he claiming Attlee was a pioneering TIM by any chance?

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 22/02/2018 14:48

I'm blocked! It didn't make much, tbh - I didn't even engage with LM directly, just "liked" a couple of gender-critical tweets and occasionally wrote supportive comments under other people's tweets.

I've done similar (just liked a couple of critical replies to LM's tweets) and remain unblocked. I don't know if this is a good, or a bad thing!

Not sure what his method is

LM, "women's officer", retweeted this, entirely without irony it seems.

If you’re not BME, I don’t care who you think should win the BME caucus election. That’s for us to decide

I wonder what happens if you replace "BME" with "a woman"/"women's"?

So, hands up if you have been blocked by LM on Twitter?

I was blocked a couple of days after I joined Twitter back in November. I asked LM what a woman was. Unacceptable question, apparently.

Jog22 · 22/02/2018 09:40

I'm blocked for saying that I didn't want to be called a ciswoman. I wasn't allowed to self-identify as a woman effectively.

AngryAttackKittens · 22/02/2018 09:18

That tweet Juzza posted. Um. Has anyone let Lily know that studies are generally published once concluded and that unless Lily can link to the study that Lily claims to have been involved in then Lily looks like Lily is making shit up as Lily goes along?

(If enough of us write like this will it make HQ reconsider their ban on correctly sexed pronouns? Because ugh, it's awkward, but there's no way I'm calling someone like Lily she.)

MrPan · 22/02/2018 08:58

Someone called Peter advised LM will not having children as LM isn't female. I concurred just now.
I feel a bit miserable for pointing out the obvious to a deluded boy but then I'd also like to help pop a poisonous bubble.

I'm blocked by LM and TerfBlocker.

AdalindSchade · 21/02/2018 21:21

@Juzza12 Lily wasn't living as a trans person until 2017 so definitely wasn't in a 'study of trans youth' or whatever he claims

AdalindSchade · 21/02/2018 21:20

I'm on terfblocker and Lily blocked me before I could see his twitter. Thankfully I have a sock twitter to follow all the gendertrenders

ALittleBitOfButter · 21/02/2018 21:13

Can anyone add to terfblocker? Someone should be norty and add some TRAs.

TERFousBreakdown · 21/02/2018 21:10

Me too, for asking a question.

I'm also a proud member of the TerfBlocker list, a.k.a. my go-to source for whom to follow!

cista · 21/02/2018 21:01

Ffs, LM is begging for money AGAIN! This time LM claims that PayPal have taken too much in fees and that they can't afford to eat.

Obviously, if is is true, then I have a lot of sympathy. Hopefully they can get a food bank voucher or similar.

But I must admit that I'm cynical... Hmm

averylongtimeago · 21/02/2018 19:50

My DD was blocked with her first Twitter post, then I joined Twitter and asked if LM was going to suggest any thing to labour that would benefit all women and I was blocked.
A whole family of terfs.

McTufty · 21/02/2018 16:56

I’m not blocked - I must be really shit at being a gender critical feminist.

UpstartCrow · 21/02/2018 16:52

Juzza12 Well obviously brains have a biological sex, its only sex organs that dont.

Sittinonthefloor · 21/02/2018 16:46

I'm blocked - I commented on the LM post begging for clothes, said that sanpro was expensive and would LM support a period poverty campaign. Only just joined twitter to comment on all this shit - haven't really got the hang of it yet!

They are creating their own echo chamber.

I wonder if they had anything to do with MN picking up on the use of pronouns.
