MNHQ Deletion Policy

TheUterati · 30/04/2018 17:03

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?

IWillReportAllTransphobicPosts
Many of us here are very sympathetic to people suffering from gender dysphoria. It must be a very distressing condition to live with. Several other parents of children who identify as trans have posted here, and they get a lot of support and sympathy.

The reason you are getting a different reaction is because you came on here and called everyone transphobic. You also said your child was 'womanly', which implies that being a woman is a performance or a costume. I'm sure you can see why that isn't going to go down well on a feminist forum. Saying that someone who was born male is male-bodied is simply scientific fact.

Your objective observation seems very different to most people's though

Pull the other one SupermatchGame. Everyone knows what a woman is. We all came out of one.

TERFragetteCity · 30/04/2018 18:44

Is reality transphobic?

Science is transphobic. Everything is transphobic.

Pratchet · 30/04/2018 18:44

Talking about reality, I'm interested in whether supermatch has a name for the class of humans of ggdxsex that gestated and bears young. Because that class does exist, it does have a reality, and we don't seem to have a word to describe it any more.

Goodness the transactivists are truly authoritarian. I am interested in the idea of coercive control of the moderators - this looks like it.

What on earth is that assertion based on?Confused (tbh I'm not convinced 'most people' really understand objective observation anyway)

AngryAttackKittens · 30/04/2018 18:41

Her objective observation matches that of everyone I've discussed this issue with in any detail.

SupermatchGame · 30/04/2018 18:40

& forcing others to lie

Would thieves say they are being forced not to steal? Are you being forced to wear a seatbelt in a car?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 30/04/2018 18:40

In what way?

SupermatchGame · 30/04/2018 18:38

Reality is not defined, it is objectively observed

Rufustheconstantreindeer · 30/04/2018 18:37

person with quite a lot going on in their life. Despite their rather questionable approach to equality between the sexes, I would suggest going easy on them if you can bear to

I was about to say i agree with reluctant

But ive also seen iwill post and agree that she doesn't seem unhappy at all

The rest still stands

SupermatchGame · 30/04/2018 18:37

...and Refuse you are back to making transphobic posts again.

RefuseToDenounceBiology · 30/04/2018 18:37

Is it only you who gets to define reality?

Scientific method - observation, testing, evidence & logic defines reality.

Wishing, believing, telling & forcing others to lie does not define reality.

ErrolTheDragon · 30/04/2018 18:36

Being mistrustful of men being allowed to self Id as women does not mean hating transwomen. Wanting to retain women's rights does not mean hatred of transwomen.

😄 That’s pretty presumptuous of you reluctant.

Apart from the rampant hatred for trans women on what used to be my favourite forum my life is about as happy as I could ever hope.

But thanks for caring 🙂

Reality is not defined, it is objectively observed Hmm

ReluctantCamper · 30/04/2018 18:31

SupermatchGame

A woman is defined as 'an adult human female'

A female is a member of the sex class with large (relatively speaking) immobile gametes, capable of gestating young.

Explain to me how a man becomes one of those.

Does the equalities act or the GRA provide an alternative definition of 'woman' that I should be aware of?

TERFragetteCity · 30/04/2018 18:31

Even the most committed trans rights activist insists upon their right to treat the sexes differently, when it suits them.

Yes, remember the Trans Activist who went to punch someone, and was held back by a female trans supporter who he then turned on? Weird how the violence is only directed towards actual women?

Proof that they have their own agenda is when they refuse to speak to and listen to Katrina, Debbie and Miranda as they are the wrong sort of trans.

KatherinaMinola · 30/04/2018 18:31

If you're going to delete all posts "designed to belittle" across all topics you're going to have your work cut out for you, @MNHQ. Look at the 5yo-reading-Harry-Potter thread for starters. I think it's in AIBU.

My deleted comment was on the lines of eye-rolling that he expects MNHQ to have a red telephone to inform him every time he's mentioned. That's all. I've been here since 2009 and that's my second deletion.
