The Lib Dem LGBT twitter feed is annoyed at Mumsnet

@womanhuman - when was this please?

I'm so confused. why was she banned, do we know?

When AnyFucker was banned we all changed our names to be variations of AnyFucker in solidarity. It was all very confusing.

wait, AnyFucker was banned?!

Zen - it's okay, there were even t-shirts printed saying "I agree with Nick"

gosh, it's not that long ago but it seems another planet.

I was saying on another thread how I don't understand anything, to the point that I don't understand what I don't understand so can't start to unpick it. Someone else here mentions the ignorance going "whoosh" - I feel like what's happened is everything goes at warp speed. That's not an excuse for the ignorance of facts, but I wonder if it's why many people accept "facts" that will change by the time they've had their tea break.

& sexist!

It is stoking division and polarisation and is part of the problem not the solution to balancing liberty, equality and community.

Ah, no Red, you see that's us doing that - if we'd just shut up and stop talking then they wouldn't have to threaten us.

It's so blatantly abusive.

Aaand, that was the sound of the last 2 Lib-Dem voters closing the door on their way out.

This thread is hilarious. Can we put it in Classics?

I am enjoying Mumsnet Mandy, the idea of being a ZERF (put that on AIBU and watch the thread light up with radical opinions!) and all the haircut tips.

Fucking LibDems. Majority of my cited have been cast that way but no longer. No idea who I’ll vite fur now, it’s all shit.

This is the LD members code of conduct:

‘The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity. We champion the freedom, dignity and well-being of individuals, we acknowledge and respect their right to freedom of conscience and their right to develop their talents to the full,

May I point out the parts highlighted in bold.

The LGBT LD account is in breech of this. It is stoking division and polarisation and is part of the problem not the solution to balancing liberty, equality and community.

I'm very busy chortling at this thread but I'll try to be serious for two seconds.

It's the whooshing of the sheer ignorance that really gets me - characterising the women here as alt-right or far right. There's a range of views, of course, but right-of-centre women here are in the minority. When they find each other on a thread, they're always delighted because it's quite a rarity. And many women here - including me - might well be long-in-the-tooth, but that means we've had a lifetime of radical action behind us. I picketed during the miner's strike. I organised against Section 28 and the poll tax. I buddied AIDS patients. I marched against Iraq. I've volunteered at women's charities and I'm currently volunteering at a food bank. These are not the hallmarks of a life spent in far right ideology.

What will these people do when they are - as they will be eventually - faced with an actual far right opposition? What will they do when there's an EDL-type group which has turned its attention from hatred of Muslims to "pervs in dresses", which is how they will see them? One of those paedophile vigilante groups has already caught one TIM doing online grooming - what happens if the far right catch on to that?

I remember the 80s. I remember when the skinhead groups spent as much time "gay bashing" as they did "paki bashing".

If these people aren't careful, they are going to catch the wrong attention and then they will wish they still had feminists as allies.

A ZERF 😂

There's a joke in there that just needs a punchline:
'How many Lib Dems does it take to run a Twitter account? ......''

A: Both of them

Well said, Datun.

Dear Lib Dems

Yes we know what self ID means. Yes, we know its limitation. Yes we know the Labour Party are acting as though it is law. Yes, it's highlighted the equality law and what that means.

And yes we understand that part of the equality law is a crappy piece of legislation and needs looking at.

Yes we know what exemptions mean. And yes we understand that they are currently hidden at the back of the filing cabinet, down the dark stairs, in the basement, with beware of the leopard written on the front.

And unless you think radicalisation means 'women can read' I'd suggest you start taking notice of the 12 million voters on this site.

Might I also suggest, that cross-dressing men with a fetish for womanhood, insisting that they are biological women and that lesbians should suck their dick, is a little bit more radical than women wanting to preserve their sex based protections.

I can pinpoint the moment when I peak transed and it was absolutely nothing to do with MN.
I was on equalities training and the person delivering told me I wasn't allowed to question what they were saying or even have an opinion on it. Or in fact say anything much at all.
And that was around the time of the 2010 Equalities Act.

There's a joke in there that just needs a punchline:
'How many Lib Dems does it take to run a Twitter account? ......'

Answers anyone?

What is 4chan? Are they literally killing people? Why are they dangerous?

That twitter feed is an embarrassment...

I hate zoflora, don’t have an MN haircut or scarf...I’m a mum and can think for myself - who knew?

Bloody Nora, I don't know cutting your own hair was a mn thing.

I'm more radicalised than I thought.

But I draw the line at zoflora. I'm a ZERF.

So embarrassed! Its just I have a crush on anyfucker because she/it/them/ze has the coolest name ever and someone mentioned her (ze,it,their) name sent me a bit gaga.There for a moment. Better now.

I wish someone would capture all of these character smearing tweets and publish and /or send to Vince Cable et al - they probably don't know what's being said - great way to lose votes and voters by slandering women on MN and I'm sure no sensible party official would want that

I too voted Lib Dem in the Clegg years as a student. I don’t usually admit to that as I’m embarrassed.

Obviously I managed to pull myself together and I haven’t done it since.

I don't believe any fucker knows why anyfucker was banned, I wasn't on MN at he time but FUCK YOU I know deep inside myself that not any fucker knows why anyfucker was banned.

My scarf appears to be out of stock though.

I blame Jeffrey. He was 4chan.
That twitter feed is the stuff of legend though. I can’t quite believe it hasn’t been shut down by the Lib Dems, but then I remember Lily Madigan has been spouting shit on social media for way longer and is still supported by Labour.
And then I go and pour another gin for the ongoing wake in honour of British politics.

I have tried zoflora but it smells too much like the school toilets in 1970's.
Butterscotch sorta? I hate that smell.
