TRA's have shot themselves in the foot.

I was just heading to bed when I had a thought that has given me the giggles gin induced

Trans activists have really shot themselves in the foot. Here everything we say is public so they can read it. Now, many of us have joined a totally private forum where you can't even see the names of the members unless you log in. It is also giving women a much freer reign to say what they want and we can swear.

So fuck you TRA, you knew what we were saying here, now you won't have a fucking clue, all you can do is guess.

Women 1-0 TRA

I’d love to join - what measures are you putting in place to ensure you aren’t infiltrated?

Gileswithachainsaw · 15/06/2018 07:02

Ooh can I join please

I have PMed you, @spontaneousgiventime .

I think we need a private place to talk AND to carry on talking here, even if we have to go to stupid lengths to mind our language.

MN reaches many more people than actually post, the new rules and the bullying behaviour of those who want to close down all our spaces will help spread the word, not hinder it.

Me too! I need the arguments to counter my trendy friends who have leapt on the trans rights bandwagon with no thought to the consequences.

BlytheByName · 15/06/2018 06:49

Please can I join too?

However we still have to post here in order to spread the word to new mumsnetters.

It sounds lovely and I hope it is productive and allows activism:

but I will stay here because I think moving to a private board means that we have been moved and corralled. I think my views on gender and sex are evidence based, and that I am more than able to put my argument across, including argument around language and policing. I think if too many leave these boards then there is less chance of lurkers and the general public being exposed to gender critical debate and argument.

SeahorsesAREhorses · 15/06/2018 06:46

Both are useful but MN is vital, even if we have to avoid speaking the truth. That is itself tells us a lot about this movement, that they felt the need to attack and muzzle women. Not men, not Reddit or all the male forums that have so much vile misogyny and transphobia.

They wanted to silence mums. they are really cross with mums.

Tells you all you need to know really.

Please tell me where you've all gone before you disappear.

QueenOfQuacks · 15/06/2018 06:46

Oh can I join too please? Been here for donkeys years, happy to supply previous user names by PM :)

ThisisSparta · 15/06/2018 06:44

Can I join the private forum too please?

Will be good discussing feminist issues and not having to put up with constant interruptions.

I also think the more the activists ‘achieve’ the more people will think ‘wtf’

Nousernameforme · 15/06/2018 06:41

Could I get an invite as well please?

numberseven · 15/06/2018 06:41

PM please please.

(But let's also keep this place and fight for it.)

Igneococcus · 15/06/2018 06:37

I don't think a private forum is shooting the TRAs in the foot. it just means the discussion will disappear from the public.
I actually take it as they have won.

NotAnotherFeckingMuftiDay · 15/06/2018 06:37

Me too please.

iamawoman · 15/06/2018 06:35

Pm me please

DearSergio · 15/06/2018 06:32

Me too please

Pickleshickles · 15/06/2018 06:31

Me also please

SunsetBeetch · 15/06/2018 06:16

Me too please. I'll probably spend some time on both

BettyFloop · 15/06/2018 05:59

Me too please.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 15/06/2018 05:55

Me too.

HarryLovesDraco · 15/06/2018 05:54

This has been happening for years! Private groups and fora have sprung out of mumsnet and all over the place. It hasn't replaced mumsnet feminist chat and it won't.
It's great to see more women connecting off mumsnet though. The network of women talking about this stuff and properly connecting is becoming absolutely massive.

Agrona · 15/06/2018 05:51

If there is a new one may I be included, please?

MilkSpill · 15/06/2018 05:43

Me too please.

okMaybeIAmATERF · 15/06/2018 05:41
