I thought it might be helpful for any lurking journalists, or folk who don't know what's going on, to see a thread detailing threats made against GC women. Twitter etc. Anyone got any screenshots?

I've just read half of that twitter thread and now I'm really scared!

Yes you're right Fekko shame their real personalities keep coming out...not so cute then.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 22/08/2018 19:10

Is it me or do the really nasty threatening ones generally come from ones with user pics of men trying to look like cutesy pouting girls or comic/manta characters or fluttery pretty rainbows? All so image conscious.

Well the daily dot sure got told

SunsetBeetch · 22/08/2018 18:00

On twitter today, a website called the Daily Dot posted the following:

"Trans people keep getting suspended from Twitter—and they want answers: " t.co/Ow9nOpVWXT t.co/Qkf0czTRby

And were inundated with examples of violent threats and rhetoric from TRAs to women. Including one of the TRAs the article painted as a poor victim.

And it's just occurred to me. Your initial screenshot BB, the one attacking Julia long. I listened to that programme and I actually thought the male presenter was pretty rude. He dismissed trans people twice as essentially just being Trans on days of the week that they fancy. Where was the hate directed to him eh? No save it for women. "Angry women"

Eye roll

KatVonSweet · 21/08/2018 17:40

Exactly. Lol.
I'm just an ordinary mum. And I can't believe the stuff I see. This is probably my saddest screenshot. A transwoman saying chill basically. She's got her opinions and the TAs turn on her like a shot. With a massive dollop of sexism to boot. Grrrrr

Well we are Mumsnet....maybe that's why the folk spouting the vile threats of harm want to "erase" us. Scared their mums might see what they write online.

People with a different opinion are just cancer.
I know some of these posts are by actual adults. I would suspect they are mainly teenage tosspots but it is vile. And yes. I wish I could show their mums the way they think it's okay to behave.

And this. How has it come to this? You don't win hearts and minds by bullying

More obsession with their penises

God, if their mums could read that...

KatVonSweet · 21/08/2018 17:24

Then there's the obsession with putting dicks in the mouth of anyone they disagree with.

These are all men, right? Or rather little boys?

Just can’t believe how many cranks there are out there.

Ask MNHQ

BraveAndStunning · 21/08/2018 16:45

Not sure bird, maybe because I have been here a long time?

Brave, I can't post more than 6 images a day, MN won't let me post more....how are you doing it?

To be fair, the men trying to speak about it get it too, although not anywhere as much, or as bad and not the violence obv. Here's Graham Lineman and Michael Conroy taking shit for standing up for women. The second one is from a woman, who calls michael misogynist for calling her for a 'random bloke'. That's the best she can do.
