Surely this is against the law? It's just a pack of lies!

I love the way they reckon we live in an echo chamber, yet they're the ones blocking everyone who disagrees with them.

I have noticed that when women are alerted to mumsnet, and come over here to see what all the fuss is about, one of the first things they ask is where is the block button?

'There isn't one' seems to be quite a shocking statement.

Here, they enter a debate. Well, thry try to but their sole 'argument' is "Transwomen are women".

Coming up against proper grown ups, they fall over.

Anyone who listens to Helen is a lunatic. I’m proud to be a ‘feminist’.

Lampage · 03/04/2018 14:15

I agree it might be best to leave it, it's only had 41 signatures, I can't see it gaining many more, it's sounds pretty nutty.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 03/04/2018 14:15

Seriously, it's an echo chamber. She tweets away and noone replies, except Goolieana.

Leave her to it

R0wantrees · 03/04/2018 14:10

I wonder if it may not be better to leave it as evidence that Helen's tweets have consequences?

Lampage · 03/04/2018 14:06

You can report the petition.

R0wantrees · 03/04/2018 14:02

the petition has being created based on Helen's posts.. it is visible on mimmymum's thread as being a direct result.

Terftastic · 03/04/2018 13:51

A petition based on a smear campaign - are they allowed to do that?

This is getting ridiculous.

R0wantrees · 03/04/2018 13:47

apologies... meant to write Kiri Tunks president of NEUnion.

R0wantrees · 03/04/2018 13:45

Helen (from Mermaids?) twitter post forms basis of petition calling for the removal of Kiri Tunks as president of the NUT....

Anyone can read tweets by someone who has blocked them, use an incognito browser, google the person’s twitter name and go through the mobile site, not the twitter app ( click on cancel when it gives the option of going on the app)

Worth reading the accounts on this website:
"This site is dedicated to exposing the lies and distortions propagated by some transactivists to cause division and hatred. Some are outright untruths, some are deliberate attempts to mislead, and some are just plain stupidity. Trans people, like everyone else, deserve to be listened to and respected. The discussions around trans issues are complex and nuanced, covering biology, psychology, law, medicine, ethics, even philosophy. How can we possibly find the answers to all of those questions when people are demonised for even asking them? When we reject their lies, we might all get the peace, freedom and respect we deserve."

If Posie Parker can be reported to the Police for tweeting actual Facts, can Helen be reported for spreading provable Lies?
God I hate sharing the same name as that awful bloody Woman.

R0wantrees · 02/04/2018 14:40

this is one of the (deliberate?) consequences of 'terfblocker'... the people who have been willfully misrepresented are left unaware of the extent of this.

LizzieSiddal · 02/04/2018 14:37

Are Women’s Place aware of these lies and the fact people are cutting and pasting videos?

Ereshkigal · 02/04/2018 14:27

She gleefully supports any attack or suppression of gender critical women.

R0wantrees · 02/04/2018 14:25

Helen's smearing of A Woman's Place and those involved has gone on unchecked for a long time.... she has frequently retweeted Giuliana_london, an account which has pumped out the most unrelenting amount of misrepresentation and propaganda

Ereshkigal · 02/04/2018 14:24

It will eventually. Their levels of naked self interest are unsustainable in society. They will never be satisfied because this political agenda and cause is their psychological outlet for their own insecurities and hatred of others.

AreYouTerfEnough · 02/04/2018 14:20

Unhealthily obsessed with being in control springs to mind.

I hope the entire movement implodes for everyone’s sake.

Terftastic · 02/04/2018 14:11

Ah - the tiny clip of Anne Ruzylo - they love it. They can't even get a recording of Anne saying "Transwomen are horrible, hateful, misogynist bastards" - because she didn't say that. They have to add the "Transwomen are..." bit on themselves in their quote. The dishonesty is breathtaking.

She was talking about a specific group of TRAs (Lily Madigan & mates) - who reported her to the Labour Party for 'transphobia' and bullied and hounded her out of her position.

She has a right to talk about the people who did that to her in those terms, IMO. She didn't threaten them, just described their behaviour towards her. A targeted bullying campaign.

I'm very, very pleased to hear of the appointment of Kiri Tunks. Anything that upsets Helen from Mermaids makes my heart sing.

DNAnotGRA · 02/04/2018 14:09

Another one blocked by this individual with whom I have had no interaction. Definitely seems unhinged at this point

Ereshkigal · 02/04/2018 14:08

I don't normally call the useful idiot allies TRAs, but Helen is one.

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 02/04/2018 14:07

Psychopaths want you to feel sorry for them.

spontaneousgiventime · 02/04/2018 14:07

I think it's quite true that Helen has peaked trans a few people. Let her carry on I say. I'm blocked but can read her tweets when logged out.
