LM has changed the name of their twitter account, deleted all previous posting history and unblocked lots of users.

Has tweeted (in response to someone else) that non-one has spoken to them about online behaviour.

LM did get in a twitter spat after comparing trans struggles to racism and slavery and got a lot of previous supporters complaining. LM did issue a twitter apology about this then took a twitter break and has resurfaced with this new "clean" account.

@Madigan_lils

So not sure what's happened here.

I would hope maybe a degree of self reflection.

As ever, let's make sure any posts are not offensive please.

I was blocked. I assume I was on the list. Is it possible to see a copy of the list? Isn’t it illegal to publish this information?

TERFragetteCity · 08/04/2018 09:37

Did you actually see your name on the list?

Yes. My boss follows me on twitter as we have known each other for 20 years.

She however is discrete. If we fell out she could well use this against me. For the only reason being that I have concerns about women and children.

Odd Reported. That's just nasty.

I'm on the list. Not my real name because I didn't use it when I signed up to twitter. sashh smith is my alter ego, but they thought it was my IRL name and published it.

2rebecca · 08/04/2018 08:54

Wasn't that link just pointing to their front page which just says "you are blocked" to everyone? Did you actually see your name on the list?

Regarding Terf Blocker Twitter accounts. I found out the other day that I am blocked by @TerfBlock after someone here linked to their account. Thing is, I have never ever tweeted, RTd or liked any tweet about trans issues, ever. I do however follow several gender critical feminists. So I can only assume that I'm on a list somewhere that is blocking followers of what they call 'Terfs'. My twitter account uses my real name. That I could be on a secret list somewhere, labelled as a 'Terf' and possibly end up doxxed simply because of who I follow on Twitter, is something I find very disturbing.

Lass it must be wonderful to not feel it's important that typically male crimes comitted by male people are reported as comitted by women, which I find highly offensive and incredibly worrying. I really wish we weren't being constantly gaslighted, then we wouldn't have to talk about it so much, and also wish we could talk about it without getting deleted.

I do think there are rather too many LM threads but seeing as they are using a platform within the LP which is supposed to be a woman's platform, to insult, doxx, and harm women and overall put women off the LP, it's right that we can talk about that.
There are only so many threads because they keep doing outrageous things. If they were onside with women there wouldn't be so many threads.

@OddSituation

Your post has been reported. This is a personal slur and is not helpful to the debate.

TERFragetteCity · 08/04/2018 08:32

I am hoping that LM has been pulled in due to this and been told to stop calling people TERFs and to stop publishing people's personal data and linking it to the Labour Party.

Although i suspect it was the racism that was the final straw...

Odd - TGLWGH, reported.

TERFragetteCity · 08/04/2018 08:26

What does the acronym TGLWGH mean please?

They go low, we go high. Which means not getting personal and sticking to the debate. It's a Michelle Obama thing.

Try googling “Lily Madigan Twitter” Gasp0de, you get a page of tweets that are deleted and a few old articles. If you don’t know what you’re looking for you just won’t find it. And I suspect people will just look at that and not dig any further.

It's not OK but I would hope that anyone searching for LM's tweets would see in passing a lot of comments from others about this massive deletion exercise. It's odd that some people seem to find it so difficult to understand that once something has been put on the internet it is almost impossible to erase it. Screenshots abound.

LM is very young, and has a lot to learn about life, and like a lot of the very young has limited insight into their limitations. I agree with those who say the Labour Party has been very, very stupid and rather negligent with LM's own mental health to put someone so young and thinskinned into a position where it was absolutely inevitable that they would get a lot of attention, much of it hostile and critical.

Also all the debate about the block list, gone.

Bearsinmotion · 08/04/2018 07:54

So the twitter feed is back, but with no tweets before Feb this year. Any tweets related to TERFs are gone (except one that may also disappear soon) the discussion on black women gone, the references to autism and schizophrenia are gone. The comment about working in a refuge, gone. Just a few anti racist tweets.

So anyone reading that Times article, going on Twitter to see what Lily has said will just get this gas lighted version of history that will make MY look like an unprovoked attack.

How is this ok?

Both photos look as if they've been enlarged from smaller low-res images.

On the times website, both images are combined into one - at a guess, they applied a filter to the whole thing to brighten it (Lilly's was very dark) and Miranda's dark hat meant that the balancing lightened Lilly's face more.

TERFragetteCity · 08/04/2018 07:16

The 4 deleted threads speculating/gloating that the YouTube shooter might be a trans woman.

These threads were about the issues that because so many violent crimes are being reported as being committed by women, when they are actually men - a concern surely all women have?

The thread about the court case in France where an intersex person has been denied the right to have something other than male or female on official documents.

Nothing to do with Trans then.

The constant threads about Madigan.

LM published a list of names of people that are supposedly trans phobic, including their real names. When these people have never even been in communication with LM? If LM wants to publish MY name - when all I am concerned with is the rights of women and girls - then why am I not allowed to comment on LM's actions?

Personally I think threads about LM just continue the LM narrative of being the most got at person ever...I think it would be best to stop giving them airtime.

Madigan posted a 'block list' of twitter accounts and where possible people's real names and identifying data.
