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.

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

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 16:58

See now I have to keep posting the repeat of the LIE

Anyway, I'm about to start my second bottle of gin of the day - they don't call it mother's ruin for nothing, then I'll bung some Bird's Eye fish fingers on for the kids tea Wink Just kidding Grin

So the thread about these people has now been vanished? Why? They are normal y proud yo granero such attention...

FloralBunting · 29/08/2018 16:55

12th and RatRolyPoly are pro TRA.12th is fairly new, but Rat has been around for ages, wringing her hands about how mean we are for giving a crap about women and girls over and above the braveandstunning. There's never much clarity in the critique, but Rat assures us she's extremely well educated in the relevant areas, and can therefore pretend to fence sit with much authority.

What both these posters are not is Gender Critical, so to quote them saying horrible things and chuckling about it, and pretend that they are an example of GC feminists on MN, is par for the bloody course lying by the TRA machine.

SquishySquirmy · 29/08/2018 16:55

Fucking hell.
Grown women drinking alcohol?
And swearing?
Don't we know that such behaviours are most unbecoming, and will likely lead to a complete breakdown in society?

Enquiring emojis wish to know.

ToeToToe · 29/08/2018 16:54

Well quite, even their examples of us being horrible, aren't even us. Poor poppets, it's so difficult for them, they have to make it up and screenshot it.

Still, I imagine they want to deflect us from talking about transactivists, because they really don't like that. So I'm going to wonder out loud how the investigation into Jess Bradley, who founded TELI, is going? Anyone seen any updates from the NUS since he was suspended for (allegedly) posting pictures of him flashing in public?

I found it particularly galling that just a few weeks previously he was talking on Sky News about gaining access to women's facilities, and consulting with the government on changes to the GRA.

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 16:52

Fuck me, they are really going on about MN and drunks. Ha ha.

Oi, dafties, have some Gin

He's really not that far from me. If I offered an appointment with him, I'd refuse.

SquishySquirmy · 29/08/2018 16:50

^Apologies. In my last post, swap "TRA" with "person supportive of their position and critical of the GC mumsnet feminist position" for accuracy. Accuracy is something I care about.

littlbrowndog · 29/08/2018 16:50

They ought to go into the baby names section

Feck I was scarred for life in there.

That can get rough in there

SquishySquirmy · 29/08/2018 16:47

I'm hardly even post on these threads, and that example of misquoting makes my teeth itch! I suppose because its so irritatingly unfair, and taps into memories (that we all have) of minor injustices at school. You know, "Ha ha, made you say it! You said bloody ..... Miss, miss! Lucy said a swear word!!! She said it miss! Tarquin heard her too!"
Seriously, don't most people grow out of that sort of nonsense before they leave primary school?

So pathetic.

Although if the worst example of "hate" they can find on here is something said by a TRA attempting to parody a GC mumsnetter, that's a good thing!

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 16:47

Even though that's twitter.....

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 16:46

And we are often drunk and tell our husbands to fuck off for talking shite.

Yeh ok, that one is about right. Grin

Dr Harrop has at least stopped hassling the feminists uncovering info on David Challenor's influence on the Green Party - in order to hassle Mumsnet.

He really isn't happy unless he's hassling women online, is he? Well, we can take it. Wonder what he's like in real life though? Like, if he was your actual doctor. Ugh.

VickyEadie · 29/08/2018 16:35

And these people have KIDS!"

I don't. Again, their ability to generalise based on fuck-all evidence is core to their being, isn't it?

VickyEadie · 29/08/2018 16:34

That bit of carefully selected tweeting to make the whole of Mumsnet and every person on here look bad reminds me of how quick TRAs are - each time there's a story about some appalling bit of behaviour by one of their lot - to say NATALT or push the 'no true Scotsman' notion.

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 16:34

And yet accuses US of 'rank hypocrisy'

And the other one doing the 'and they have kids' wail.

It's no great wonder that they believe that sex is mutable really is it?

BraveandStunning

How interesting. They took a small part of what that poster said. That poster being someone who comes on periodically to chide us for being mean. We see them

ToeToToe · 29/08/2018 16:32

Dr Harrop - your pants are on fire. That wasn't a gender critical feminist who wrote that.

The term is ratfucking.

TheCountryGirl · 29/08/2018 16:29

That reminds me of the time Bespin was attacked by them despite being on their side. Well the more they do this the more they drive even the deluded people who defend them away.

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 16:25

Because, YES, you guessed it, Hetty has gone back in for .... LIE # 3

Now using the SAME lie to accuse us of racism. And yet also accused us of 'slander'.
