Pleased and relieved to see lots of familiar names here Wine

I'm still here, and no strikes yet.

Keep posting everyone - the twitter TAs don't want us to - so we must. (And try our best not to get banned). The Twitter TAs know this is a powerful forum for raising awareness of women's rights being threatened by self ID. That's why they want us shut down.

Lurkers have been coming out of the woodwork today - it's great to see.

Have we been given a word to use for a male-bodied person who wants to transition to "live as a woman" that isn't transwoman yet?

As an aside I see that already we are being told that transwoman is no longer acceptable and it has to have a space [baffled].

In the absence of any guidance I've decided to use "male transperson" and "female transperson" in future. That can't be wrong, surely? Can it?

WineGummyBear · 15/06/2018 19:55

Lurking. As always, I appreciate those of you that do more.

ResistanceIsNecessary · 15/06/2018 19:55

Rita basically MNHQ has introduced a 3 strikes policy where if you have 3 posts deleted for transphobia then you are suspended/banned.

Transphobic terms include: TIM, use of natal rather than preferred pronouns, TRA.

I think there is a thread in site stuff which articulates it fully, but it is very long.

The daily register has been introduced as a bit of a roll call to keep track of people, because although MNQ has said it will email people about deletions, so that they know if they are close to a ban, there are posters who are having content deleted but not being informed.

Thank goodness for wonderful women like all of you

BettyFloop · 15/06/2018 17:30

Still here - no strikes (mind you, I haven't posted anything).

Good to see you TBW Flowers

thebewilderness · 15/06/2018 17:17

Still here, no further strikes.
I am in Washington state in the US, and sometimes use tehbewilderness as a clever disguise. Actually it was a typo once a long time ago.

Still only one strike. I wonder if they realized what a chilling effect this new rule would have on people after the first outburst of confusion and frustration.

stealthsquirrelnutkin · 15/06/2018 17:16

I mostly lurk, and want to say that I'll be devastated if all the marvellous feminist women who have taught me so much get "disappeared" for committing truth crimes.
Can someone please send me a private message to let me know where banned posters are now meeting to continue the conversation?

RogerAllamsFangirl · 15/06/2018 17:11

I rarely post but will keep lurking and doing small acts of rebellion where I can

IfyouseeRitaMoreno · 15/06/2018 16:42

What’s happened? Will someone fill me in? All I can tell is that MNHQ have issued some kind of ultimatum but there are so many threads I don’t know which ones to read.

Someone help me out!

lurker33 · 15/06/2018 16:23

I'm here lurking. Thank you to all the courageous women on here that have opened my eyes to this ridiculous state of affairs.

Maryz · 15/06/2018 16:21

Is this a "have you been banned yet?" thread?

If so, I haven't (but there's still 41 days of the rolling 6 weeks left, so plenty of time to lose my temper make a few mistakes.

Am I mistaken or has there been a mass namechange among the more, ahem, irritating posters today? I'm wondering if they really will ban for persistent malicious reporting. In which case they'll be PBPs won't they [hopeful]

gendercritter · 15/06/2018 15:06

(Which quite frankly look like nipples so could be deemed transphobic)

gendercritter · 15/06/2018 15:06

Am here whilst making obscenely delicious biscuits

InLoveWithDavidTennant · 15/06/2018 15:05

I am ignoring the worst of the GFs

Me too. I think ive sprained my eyes rolling them at one of the most frequent ones whenever they post.

Also, thank you Pratchet Star

NoCisAllWoman · 15/06/2018 15:04

@RaininSummer I noticed the typo difference too, but I'd followed it from a post that @thebewilderness had made here, on one of the threads about the new moderation policy. So I hope it's right!

Picassospaintbrush · 15/06/2018 14:38

Well I am still here, I expect at any moment, the Add your message here box to disappear.

Not really. And I'm not really posting any differently. I am ignoring the worst of the GFs.

We are still able to talk about this ideology and the law.

I just want to say that my stress levels are at the point I'm likely to blow and get 30 strikes let alone 3, so I am going to try to walk away for the weekend. If I don't report for roll call until Monday, I have been successful in stepping away from the keyboard!

BlackeyedSusan · 15/06/2018 14:00

if there were a climbers rope holding us all together, I would be the dipstick on the end dangling off the cliff, or being snow ploughed up the hill.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 15/06/2018 13:56

I got your PM, Notanotherfeckingmuftiday, but I couldn't reply. Have emailed.
