Some are suggesting it may be permanently. The silencing of women continues.

That "celebratory tweet" is sickening.

On the other hand, the more that L Madigan tweets the less likely they are to be elected as an MP. Those tweets will come back to haunt h** and they won't be easily explained away.

Ffs, trust Liliy to be celebrating

I saw that thread Assigned didn't realise it was you. Flowers

Sounds like another case of projection by someone with vested interest.

There's a fake account called Dr Truefem up now, obviously anti-terf.

twitter.com/DrTruefem

If Twitter is taken over by TRAs they seem to be dishing out blue ticks to other TRAs as well.

Yes he is truly vile.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 23/03/2018 10:33

Jeez, playground bullies.

Except it’s real , grown up life.

Time to complain to the teachers

This was mentioned on a thread yesterday but is worth mentioning again. There is a documentary on Netflix about the rise of the Women's Movement in the US. It's called She's Beautiful When She's Angry.

A different era but so many parallels to what is happening today. Anyone who has access to Netflix please watch it.

It's very inspiring but it did make me realise that we probably can't fight this current battle unless we become very visible. This is going to mean facing the barrage of criticism (often from other women), rape and death threats, threats to employment etc... just as those women did.

It's a daunting prospect but it made me realise that arguing online ultimately won't be enough. Strangely after watching it I was left with the feeling that in the age of technology it's actually become harder to develop a real life grass roots movement.

We need to find out who regulates Twitter

This is discrimination and illegal

Need to challenge

Call out to lawyers? But tbh I think trying to use the press and politicians might be a good parallel track. House of Commons Equalities Committee etc?

Found it. Yuk

Venice Allan is being targetet by a group of TRA's from Labour.

Here's the celebratory tweet> pbs.twimg.com/media/DY9DML2W4AAgekp.jpg after her account was down.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 23/03/2018 10:26

PM me a link?

Nosetothesun · 23/03/2018 10:26

Screen shot of Dr RAd Fm's comment here already been screenshot and is being retweeted....

TERFragetteCity · 23/03/2018 10:26

Pretty it was not.

TERFragetteCity · 23/03/2018 10:25

Venice outed him yesterday. In all his schoolgirl outfit glory.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 23/03/2018 10:24

What was that about Cursed Terf?

TERFragetteCity · 23/03/2018 10:22

I suspect outing Cursed e tipped him over the edge.

Winewinewinegin · 23/03/2018 10:22

Brilliant, thanks assigned.

Winewinewinegin · 23/03/2018 10:21

Are people reporting abusive messages around violence etc in this debate? Are they getting taken down?

The only good thing to come out if this, is the fact that every time TRAs try to shut a woman/man/genuine transsexual down, it causes other people to go WTF? It helps trans peak more people, so though it’s horrific that they abuse their male power like this, it will eventually be a massive home goal. Men like this are so used to silencing women or surrounding themselves with handmaidens, they don’t know how to react when they have to deal with strong women, that don’t follow their dogma, so they panic and lash out.
