MNHQ Deletion Policy

Earlier today the Trans Park Run thread was deleted in its entirety because SOME posts alleging cheating were deemed to be 'not in the spirit' of MN.

We have a thread about that running.

I have just been deleted on the Heather Peto thread for posting this:

"Bless..."

A post intended to be mildly dismissive.

That was deleted for breaking talk guidelines.

Give me a fucking break MNHQ.

"Bless..." gets a deletion!??!?!

TRA really have got you on a short chain, haven't they?

You know how in the Asterix comics he was dropped in a vat of the magic potion as a child? Like that but with acid.

(The 60s groovy kind, not the sulphuric kind, before any TRAs get all omg violence.)

I wonder what on earth has got into everybody.

Yes the world has been turned on its head and not in a good way.

Deranged zealots are fighting for ignorance and taking up positions of authority and influence.

Most of us here are just seeking women and girls' safety, security, privacy and dignity.

We don't care a damn how men choose to present themselves, so long as they do not try to threaten or silence us, or invade the spaces where we expect privacy and choice.

Is that too much to ask? Really?

The censors have taken over education.

That's the most frightening - the state of our universities now. No platforming of elected politicians by masked men, lecturers being told certain aspects of subjects cannot be taught, people being no-platformed.

I wonder what on earth has got into everybody. We used to debate for hours when I was at Uni (back in the days of yore Grin ) For hours - and there would be arguments, fall-outs, anger - but you know - we were able to talk about stuff. Robust debate.

Reality First.... the Empiricists Party ... (that's what we need - an end to pomo bs).

MipMipMip · 01/05/2018 00:03

That works. About the only thing in this world that does right now.

not at all bitter honest

AngryAttackKittens · 01/05/2018 00:00

We could call it the Reality Party, Mip.

I've been more if a lurker than a poster over the years I've been on MN, but have learnt loads over the years. There are some fantastic, erudite women on these boards.

Red take care, your posts, among many others, are informative and we'll expressed. It would be a shame to lose your voice.

OlennasWimple · 30/04/2018 23:58

in accordance with the provisions of that certificate

That's the key bit right there

It doesn't mean "has now changed sex", and doesn't mean "can never be referred to as trans ever again" or "can never be barred from single sex spaces"

It means that there are certain protections and rights bestowed upon the holder (like standing for selection on an AWS and recourse if their trans status is shared between people who have no need to know). Not that the profession believes that they have changed sex

The gender ideology believers (it's indistinguishable from a religion) have taken over biological reality.

LightofaSilveryMoon · 30/04/2018 23:54

TIMs must be sent appointments for smear tests!!! Otherwise, smear tests are transphobic!

Yes, @RefuseToDenounceBiology, I agree!

thebewilderness · 30/04/2018 23:54

There have been cases where males demand pap smears because they are that desperate to have their delusions affirmed. I do so wish they could get the treatment they need to reconcile to reality.

MipMipMip · 30/04/2018 23:53

Also would it be an idea to request this be moved to Site Stuff? It is about @MNHQ's moderation procedures after all.

Thinking of starting a Sanity First* political party. Anyone fancy joining?

*Any connection to Britain First is to think they are dangerous oiks.

SupermatchGame, transwomen have very different risk factors for diseases to women. The physiological reality cannot be tricked by a law. Psychiatry is outside my expertise, I imagine a psychiatrist will of course refer to a transwoman as a woman, as will a gynaecologist checking for breast tumours.

If the gynaecologist is unaware of the trans status, it would be to the patient's detriment.

MipMipMip · 30/04/2018 23:51

Flowers for Red and Tru. If sorry that you are caught up as you are.

Thank you all for being far more eloquent than me and (not literally with physical violence) fighting the good fight. It's reassuring to know such people are involved in this.

RefuseToDenounceBiology · 30/04/2018 23:51

The fraudsters have taken over legislation.

AnitaLovesVictor · 30/04/2018 23:51

That's psychiatrists.

If you went to A&E with abdominal pain, or chest pain, you can bet they want to know your biological sex, rather than (or as well as) the gender you identify as.

Approx 80% transwomen keep their penises - you can bet they'll be having prostate exams rather than smear tests.

SupermatchGame · 30/04/2018 23:50

that you have access to reports

No idea what you're talking about. I'm dreaming already. Can't be real.

RefuseToDenounceBiology · 30/04/2018 23:50

The inmates have taken over the prison.

AngryAttackKittens · 30/04/2018 23:50

It is quite funny to imagine an adult getting into the office tomorrow morning and going "WTF happened last night?"

Ereshkigal · 30/04/2018 23:50

That's psychiatry. Hardly a medical consensus. You might find the video about transgender medicine enlightening.

The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
