Sunlight not welcomed - trans advocates afraid

Charliethefeminist · 29/08/2018 13:33

We have to acknowledge that we have largely achieved our successes by flying under the radar”, (then) Transgender Law Center Director Masen Davis stated eighteen months ago, “It is a secret at Transgender Law Center and I’ll ‘come out’ today. We do a lot, really quietly. We have made some of our biggest gains: that nobody has noticed

That's a quote from 2013.

Well now that women are noticing and collating, they are so afraid of the exposure that they cannot bear to see their work listed and described. In many ways, this is a good sign: of how their confidence and status is so deeply fragile, and they know it.

I think 12th has, to be fair. It reads like that anyway. Don't want to link.

However, the cowardly fuck who knowingly cut out Rat's reponse and posted it repeatedly to 'show' that MN's 'racism' is now onto pastures new. Doubt that they would ever try for the truth.

Don't they even know about mother's ruin? Sheltered lives, some people lead.

LangCleg · 29/08/2018 17:35

If anyone sees them, let me know. There's three of them - or is it four?

I can't even remember if I had any or not. Swigs Gin

@12thGuelph Are you going to set the record straight with all your Twitter mates that your comment was "friendly fire"?

None of us have said anything like that. None of us would. When a thread started up about a kid in the states who'd been mocked by their schoolmates' parents saying they'd castrate him themselves, we were all horrified. We are all here to defend safeguarding and women's rights, not look for a punchbag.

Dr Harrop!

I knew you were on our side really. Your mistake? You were just a little too extreme. Wink

Just sayin' Hmm

Gin shouts exictadly and runs about

Datun · 29/08/2018 17:28

Oh lord, that's hilarious.

Anyway, although I'm pissed, I've run out of gin, and can't find my kids. So I'm just going drive round to the offie, and hopefully pass them somewhere along the way.

If anyone sees them, let me know. There's three of them - or is it four?

And they're wearing...actually I'm not sure. They may not even be dressed.

Good luck and cheers.

birdbandit · 29/08/2018 17:28

Thing is, it's all just advertising. Dr Harrop etc are sending folk here, they look, they become Spartacus.

The good Dr is so gloriously, tirelessly working hard for the GC debate. Letting the general public listen in to his unhinged, nasty, venomous rhetoric; he's actively promoting this bile everyday.

It is brave and stunning that this dear fellow is willing to car crash his career for us all.

FloralBunting · 29/08/2018 17:28

After 5pm? I'm sure one of those women's pocket watches says 10am.

NameChangedAgain18 · 29/08/2018 17:27

Mumsnet after 5.00pm

FloralBunting · 29/08/2018 17:25

12th is quite happy to let it stand, I should think. 12th is no great GC poster and will be quite content to be misquoted with negative intent if it makes MN look bad.

That's the level of duplicitous mendacity we're dealing with, in case anyone didn't know yet.

SquishySquirmy · 29/08/2018 17:24

Good for 12th then if that's the case, Maryz

littlbrowndog · 29/08/2018 17:24

GIN 😝😝💪💪🍸🍸

Maryzsnewaccount · 29/08/2018 17:22

12th is plopping all over the place and probably delighted to be quoted on twitter.

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 17:22

I think 12th had the integrity to put them right, if I'm reading the situation correctly.

12th You are not responsible for that person cutting out Rat's reponse to create the lie. Completely dishonest of them, but entirely bloody predictable.

They are are now slabbering on about women and gin. Talking of which....

TheCountryGirl · 29/08/2018 17:20

At least Bespin stopped sticking up for them after he saw how duplicitous they were in attacking him who was on their side.

picklemepopcorn · 29/08/2018 17:19

Is that the thread about 'who the TRAs are' gone? Was there a Message ? I wasn't on it, just lurking.

IncrediblySturdyPyjamas · 29/08/2018 17:14

Poor Rat! Slagged and defamed off by the TRAs. After all that work put in here on their behalf.

Oh dear. 12th and Rat racists.

Who knew?

LangCleg · 29/08/2018 17:10

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Poor Rat! Slagged and defamed off by the TRAs. After all that work put in here on their behalf.

Is it gin o'clock yet?

SquishySquirmy · 29/08/2018 17:09

You on twitter 12thGuelph ?
Guess you wouldn't mind correcting the mistake, seeing as it was an honest one!
Or @RatRolyPoly will. Because of course it was an honest mistake, so you wouldn't want to let it stand!

TheCountryGirl · 29/08/2018 17:09

@BraveAndStunning. It wasn't a lie, it was a mistake, owing to MN FWR having become indistinguishable from satire.

They are using you, targeting you and insulting you to make a ridiculous point and you are ok with that? Get some self respect.

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 17:07

It was a lie. Rat's reposnse was deliberately cut and the lie repeatedly posted by that poster. The retweeters could not have known of course.

SquishySquirmy · 29/08/2018 17:07

Can you find any comments which bear any relation to the one quoted that aren't "satire"? Should be easy-peasy given how indistinguishable the two are Smile.

Angryresister · 29/08/2018 17:06

Sorry ...SPanish keyboard!
