Reality check

SuperDandy if the police are going to be looking at my devices, because I posted a chorus from "The Emperors New Clothes" in a thread a couple of days back & I'm also planning to attend a feminist do in Plymouth soon, can they first have a look at why my cordless drill always loses charge in the middle of drilling a hole for the last screw to finish a job? And seeing as so many new posters in FWR are so good at distorting reality can they also go back 15 years and stop me cc'ing my boss into an email that was a bit rude about him (I still cringe).

Super.

This thread needs to be pinned under the new guidelines; it really is an education and affirmation.

Inciting hatred is the obvious one. Someone who chooses to follow a religion is protected: someone who is born trans is not.

Both are protected.
Someone who has the protected characteristic of religious belief is protected. Someone who has the protected characteristic of gender reassignment is protected.

Incitement of hatred/ discrimination against either is illegal.

How is someone trans not protected by the law? They have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘born trans.’

Specifically, about shutting down women who help other women going through tough times, at that.

All the same, I'm sorry that you were physically attacked, and glad that your current relationship with your ex is on friendly terms for your children's sake.

That’s a really interesting post, Damn.

Very illuminating. Thank you for your candour.

It’s not often we see such a direct expression that it’s all about shutting down women.

thebewilderness - I think the Far Right is often accused of hate crimes, though the Far Left could equally be accused of the same but seems to get more of a free pass

Can I just go back to the suggestion that the police are monitoring MN in case a crime has been committed, because I think that is pure bunkum...

The police have very limited resources to investigate actual crimes, never mind to gather evidence in advance of a crime being committed in case it should more accurately be categorised as a hate crime. Any pro-active monitoring of the internet / social media is focused on serious / organised crime, counter-terrorism, child sexual abuse...not women saying things that some people find mean.

Think about how long it took to arrest Anjem Choudry, who repeatedly marched and demonstrated and said on public record some atrocious things. The police really aren't going to shift resources away from dealing with this stuff to check that everything that OlennasWimple posts is in line with all relevant legislation.

The take away from the thread is not to be goaded into saying things that would likely result in a strike or ban, and provide handy screenshot material to beat MN with. But please dont' worry about police involvement (unless you are a genuine criminal, in which case, be very afraid!)

yes, I don't expect I'm the only person who felt a surge of sympathy for ex Mrs Damn after reading that post

if you're still here

Sorry light

I think id gone into a stupor after reading the post at 14:12

Feminism is the political movement for the liberation of women.
I am curious if there are other political movements in the UK that are constantly accused of hate crimes by the opposition?
Is this just UK politics as usual or is it misogyny?

MN's servers seem to be either slow or at a standstill this afternoon, although occasionally they come back to life.

Either the heat or a DOS attack, maybe. I hope it isn't the latter but I can't say it would surprise me at the moment.

^"my ex and I were working through a civilized break-up ... until
she got suckered into the MN anti-trans board"you're

Well. That explains a lot.

cor blimey. sorry for the repeated posts

I am beginning to think that the servers are slow to respond today

Bloody hell, MN is hard to read today with everything being posted twice all the time!!!

Oh, and Damn, thanks for your candor. Stating openly that you and your buddies want to shut MN down and that this is a revenge mission for you is a very helpful admission.

No feminist has masked up and prevented transpeople from meeting or speaking

But the shock and outrage I felt at this footage by the magnificent Julie Bindel turned me from a passive to an active participant in all this, so thanks for the opportunity to post it again.
