MNHQ Deletion Policy

Elendon That's inconsistent moderation in action. There are still two posts referencing Peniston visible on that thread, one of which is mine.

Only just joined MN finally after reading it for past few months and it seems like its a contentious time :/

Re the thread in which I posted a link to the town of Penistone it's now deleted because 'in the current climate the post is inflammatory'

It is a very difficult issue to get right. I would like people free to speak about anything - even hold a talk a tuniversity that the holocaust never happened or the royal family are lizards or the bible is literally true or women must in islam obey and submit to their husbands for sex whetehr they like it or not or whatever it might be. The only things I would stop would be when it gets beyond argument to "go forth and murder the royal family" or personal abuse.

The fact someone might get upset because I support the Tories today (vote Conservative today in London and if not that at least do vote).... or think babies are fine if mothers work or whatever is not something that shoud be censored whereas were I to write you are despicable human being because you support Corbyn or you support May that is getting nastier and personal.

it is not homophobic to say your religion says gays burn in hell or racist to say there are more non whites in percentage terms in the legal profession than there are in the general population etc.

And the Daily Mail

It follows a number of high profile cases of attempts by student unions to censor feminists, ...

But Mr Gyimah said a free exchange of ideas must be integral to universities and warned some people were shutting down views to suit 'their own ends'.

'A society in which people feel they have a legitimate right to stop someone expressing their views on campus simply because they are unfashionable or unpopular is rather chilling.

The times has a piece too 'Crackdown on students silencing free speech'

It's OK - found it on the BBC

I hadn't seen that, Xenia - do you have a link?

I agree xenia.

On the free speech front it is good to see tough new guidance being issued to universities today which may ban students from refusing speakers whose tppics are unpopular. There has been far too much censorship going on.

WOMEN ARE TRANSPHOBIC BECAUSE THEY EXIST.
Flaunting their mere existence is triggering.
They have a rule for that.
6th rule of misogyny: Women who go around being female AT men by menstruating and breast feeding babies deserve punishment for misandry and transphobia.

Oh shit what have i done

Its the end of fucking days im telling you!!!

Fuck sake. Just caught up.

When Red is pissed off, you know we are in trouble

Just caught up on this thread, and am awe at the posters on here. Thank you so much for putting into words what I struggle to, and for doing it over and over and over again in the face of the concerted wrath of TRAs/MRAs in their various guises.

Yes, yes, obviously.

Lets abolish women because then there are no women's rights to get rid of, as there are no women. Problem solved.

And because they have no rights because they do not exist, just remove them from the face of the earth. Problem solved.

We shall enjoy our erasure.

Let me put it in polite terms

I do not care what your gender identity is. If you behave like an authoritarian bully, you are an arsehole. I'm not discriminatory. I treat all arseholes the same.

The Stasi can fuck off.

And do please stop wasting police time.

Seems we’re invaded by blinkered types who are screaming about womanhood, yet couldn’t care less about women.

Wish they’d all just fuck off.

Asserting that trans women are a sub set of males and require male accommodations is transphobic

So reality is transphobic then. Good luck with that one.

Seriously, @MNHQ, we tried to warn you that the person above had clearly stated their intention to do exactly what they're doing now. Because the site is under attack.

The chocolate that I'm eating is transphobic (in that it's allowing itself to be eaten by a person who's not trans).

EVERYTHING is transphobic.

Switch off social media.

Problem solved.

Asserting that trans women are a sub set of males and require male accommodations is transphobic

Reality has a well known transphobic bias.

Hate to break it to you, but transwomen are male. They may sincerely wish that they had been born female, and it must be very hard to feel that way, and I fully support them in taking whatever steps (dress, pronouns in RL, etc) make them feel comfortable. If they want to go to the lengths of obtaining a GRC so they can be legally recognised as if they were female in a wide range of circumstances (but not all), and that's fine by me. I wouldn't dream of harping on in RL to a transwoman that they were in fact male, because that would be unkind. But the biological fact remains that they are male. And sometimes biology matters (specifically in connection with women's rights which are to do with our biology, like maternity leave, legal protection for breast feeding mothers, etc.)
