The Lib Dem LGBT twitter feed is annoyed at Mumsnet

Apparently the Alt-Right and 4-Chan are using MN.
I think it's just one person who controls their tweets. I really hope that the top Lib Dems know what's being said.

olenna could you find a pombear at short notice?

OlennasWimple · 02/04/2018 23:26

Well, I've been cutting my own hair (not in a pony tail on the top of my head, I do a low pony tail instead, for soft layers around my face not Sam Fox c1985 short layers Grin ) before I had even heard of TRAs or GRCs or self-ID. I've always been good at stretching out a roast chicken, and I know why AnyFucker is called AnyFucker

I've never had mum boots though, and I don't really like the scarf...

Does this mean that I am radicalised or not?

That's virtually what i said Grin

I actually said ' so they are not telling you to avoid reddit or pistonheads...just mumsnet, a mainly female forum...thats weird isnt it?'

I love the idea that MN feminist boards are gender critical because we’ve been radicalised, like we were all sitting round twirling our hair and exchanging lemon meringue pie recipes before the real TERFs showed up to corrupt us.

Is there a secret TERF HQ somewhere sending out agents?

BlackeyedSusan · 02/04/2018 23:11

ah poor things.

perhaps someone should tell them that if they can not cope with people disagreeing with them, them politics may not be the best place for them.

If the person who is in charge of the Lib Dem feed is reading this:

Do you really think it's a good idea putting that stuff out on Twitter about Mumsnet?

You may have your personal views - but they are personal. It's not a good look for the Lib Dems.

There's been no radicalising by 4Chan. It's a little bit patronising to suggest that. The action of transactivists and the constant closing down of debate has played a massive part.

Your journey has been hard. But get out of your echo chamber and read what's being said instead of dismissing it as transphobic. Because if you dismiss people with labels, they aren't going to go away. The issues are just going to get worse.

The solutions are more difficult. As are some of the conversations. But if the conversations aren't had, things will get worse.

I’m glad I’m a Janey-come-lately to MN. I can’t abide animal print clothing. You wouldn’t catch me wearing that scarf, ever.

Bufferingkisses · 02/04/2018 23:00

Well my comment has been accepted. I wonder if I'll get a response. I'm afraid I did get a little ranty. This whole business has got right on my may nerve.

Forget all the terf mumsnet vs forward thinking tra stuff for a moment. Has everyone forgotten that trans people have parents? That some of them are parents. Heaven forbid that a parent would use a site for its parenting factor! Nope, all radicalized terfs the lot of them... Angry

LightofaSilveryMoon · 02/04/2018 22:55

What a wonderful read this thread is! ROFLMAO! Grin

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 02/04/2018 22:55

Men has a collective hate women, let’s never forget that. Mumsnet is majority female, of course they hate us.

💔💔💔It’s been 3 hours, 14 minutes and 15 seconds since the LibDems last emailed looking for help leafleting💔💔💔

Amortentia · 02/04/2018 22:54

Assigned, I totally agree. Maybe their synthetic hormone addled brains can’t understand that us ‘birthers’ have opinions too.

thebewilderness · 02/04/2018 22:53

People do not have a very high opinion of mumsnet
When you say people we all know you mean men.

2nd rule of misogyny: Women saying no to men is a hate crime.
3rd rule of misogyny: Women speaking for themselves are exclusionary and selfish.

SunsetBeetch · 02/04/2018 22:51

What an embarrassment to a political party. Do they have student interns running that account? Are they on glue?

CapnHaddock · 02/04/2018 22:51

My MN scarf is in the charity bag. I'm now thinking I should haul it out and wear it proudly like a badge of TERFiness

53rdWay · 02/04/2018 22:51

Tickers, even! Bugger.

Kneedeepinunicorns · 02/04/2018 22:50

Oh good grief, the innocence Grin

Ok, easy way to check this fact: one of them just needs to post on AIBU and announce that they are a woman who reads the Daily Fail and voted UKIP, are they being unreasonable.

The can collect what's left of the poster in a bucket about half an hour later.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 02/04/2018 22:50

As I said before Amortentia, the mocking of mumsnet and 'mums' provides an immediate and reliable indication of their opinion of women.

I think it should forever more be known as 'The Mumsnet Test' =
The level of contempt 'for mums debating' is in direct correlation with the level of misogyny

Tells you everything you need to know about a person

53rdWay · 02/04/2018 22:50

We should get a radical feminism version of those tickets that Certain Other Sites have.

🌟🌟🌟 It’s been 11 months 3 weeks 4 days 3 hours since I broke up with the patriarchy! 🌟🌟🌟

Zoflora is migraine inducing.
I don't have a toilet brush or a bathroom bin so I haven't been radacalised yet.

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 02/04/2018 22:47

I reckon Balonz from Surrey is a huge TERF.

I just woke up DD laughing.

PencilsInSpace · 02/04/2018 22:46

Do you think Lib Dems tweeters T-Rex in the supermarket

LGBT+ LibDems could not T-Rex in the supermarket if their pronouns depended on it.

They're just not that Bear
