What we have here is men who claim they are not men and who violate women's boundaries against their consent.

Some may call such men predators. What other label could be applied?

Yes. And they’re proud of it.

It would almost be better sometimes not to mention it, I think.
"This service / group / rape crisis centre / changing room / toilet / job working with vulnerable women etc. is single sex" is a bit like a chip to a seagull.

Wow. Already???

I’ve seen TWs confirming on Twitter that whether the women’s pond is meant to be single sex or not, they’re using it. The battle’s definitely not over yet.

Well if the police turned up for women in the mens pool they would have to turn up for men in the womens pool.

Just feel the need to bump this as it’s 4 years since the sheroes of ManFriday had their Bank Holiday Manday protest. A lot has moved on since then but we still need to fight for our right to women’s spaces being single sex. Maybe it’s time for us all to ManFriday again.

I really can't take the credit - it's their shitty post enabling me after all. Grin

I went with abusive behaviour > threat of violence> me. Or something like that Flooer. But you could report them for every category so each tweet gets 15 reports.

smashyourglasses · 06/06/2018 16:52

Well done Mip 😄

Floeer · 06/06/2018 07:52

I did start trying to report stuff myself last night but I find it confusing deciding exactly which category it falls into as it feels like it's a problem of multiple issues

MipMipMip · 05/06/2018 23:37

《starts to curtsy then stops and does a manly bow》

I think we all need to do this if we can. Just a bit of a fight back. Nice to see that at least some is working so not everyone there is woke to a degree of bigotry. It's depressing though.

Floeer · 05/06/2018 21:47

👏👏👏

MipMipMip · 05/06/2018 21:18

Unfortunatly I dont have the tweets but there is this. I've only received tweets about some so I'm not sure if this is it or if there are more to come.

Are you able to make reference to the one that was successful?

MipMipMip · 05/06/2018 17:49

Yep.

R0wantrees · 05/06/2018 17:34

Are you using the same basis for complaint?

MipMipMip · 05/06/2018 17:33

Another one locked. Apparently I reported 29 so I think this could take a while. Hopefully the tide is turning....

MipMipMip · 05/06/2018 00:31

Maybe. I can hope.

R0wantrees · 05/06/2018 00:12

Do you think a human sees it? I have my doubts.

MipMipMip · 04/06/2018 23:28

Another refused. Maybe it's making a Twitter auditor think at least.

MipMipMip · 04/06/2018 23:12

Interesting, thanks R0wantrees.

R0wantrees · 04/06/2018 23:06

I think its possible to see how Twitter's policy might work:

Ereshkigal · 04/06/2018 23:04

Well done!

MipMipMip · 04/06/2018 22:59

One account locked until account holder complies. So someone is at least considering it.

Ereshkigal · 04/06/2018 22:54

That was quick! Mine take ages and I don't generally hear unless they are upheld. Perhaps I have different notification settings to you.

Ereshkigal · 04/06/2018 22:53

You know that's how transactivists will be doing it after all, reporting anyone who says "transwomen are men/male" as personally violent towards them.
