Afab enby = female non-feminist - is that right?

Anyone, other than a 10-year-old, would have their interest piqued by people saying oh noes, don't talk to them, please, don't, ever, I'll never speak to again, til the end of time, seriously don't do it, don't even look at them.

Idiots.

To see statuses of people who have blocked you, just click the link in a private broswer

But the one linked says

'I want to use my relatively small platform to make as many people as possible aware that
@ CarolineLucas
is publicly admitting to going into talks with a transphobic hate group'

What the fuck? Womans Place have indulged in extreme behaviour? When was this? Hmm

Jesus I'm blocked by the self-absorbed 'afab enby' despite never tweeting a damn thing in my life. Assuming I am blocked for merely liking something they disagree with (I don't even like tweets that often). To think they are involved in teaching at a university but are incapable of accepting people may have a different opinion to them. So much for academics thinking critically these days. Academics are supposed to approach arguments rationally, critically asses them and provide thoughtful counter-arguments - apparently that isn't necessary any more. Now you can just shove your fingers in your ears, shout la la la and peer review that. Ridiculous.

Autogynephilia + misogyny

=

Automisogynephilia ?

I'm blocked on that account linked by BabyToolshed so I can't see the tweet. What did it say?

(I posted about being blocked a couple of days ago. I've never posted anything political or GC on Twitter. I mostly use my account for my very boring hobby and for contacting organisations about customer service issues.)

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 04/09/2018 18:20

"Transmisogyny" must be one of the stupidest neologism I've ever seen.

The only way it works is if it refers to trans men.

I reckon these people never learnt ancient Greek...

Ereshkigal · 04/09/2018 18:12

The self absorbed bile on that thread!

Ereshkigal · 04/09/2018 18:11

This could explain how Shearer, Alan ended up on the terfblocker list.

LM has a passport that says "F" in it, because apparently all you need to change your details on an international identity document is a letter from the GP Hmm

I hope that AC has some RL support - of the proper kind, not the "wow, everyone's so horrible to you even though you're so stunning and brave!" kind

DickTERFin · 04/09/2018 17:03

"significant transphobia problem" = not centering me and my agenda unquestioningly. Whatev's.

I was reading a thread on twitter that suggested Haddock was being investigated by the medical council due to complaints about his doxxing and harassment of women on social media - is it true?

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 04/09/2018 15:33

I'm very concerned about what Aimee will do next.

Vickyyyy · 04/09/2018 15:05

Off topic, but with same sex marriage now possible why cant Lily get married?

No same sex marriage necessary. Lily is heterosexual (or a lesbian, as lily says)

RedTopReadingHystericalMass · 04/09/2018 15:04

Vickyyyy, just wait til they find out that she is a woman!

;)

Vickyyyy · 04/09/2018 15:01

Astounding that they say they are quitting because of Caroline Lucas, rather than because they employed their child rapist father and were found out. So still, no accountability.

A 'significant transphobia problem'..because she is willing to speak to women. Indeed.

IfIWasABirdIdFlyIn2ACeilingFan · 04/09/2018 13:44

They’re eating themselves from the inside out. This makes me happy. There is hope this farce will be exposed for what it is.

thecatfromjapan · 04/09/2018 13:41

There's a distinction between Molly and the Ash person in your video, though, Betty.

Molly only has one, single thing that supports her adoption of a 'non-binary' identity and politics - and that is her anti-feminism.

She carries all the performative markers of 'woman' (see, I can do Butler) - of course she does; that works - her only claim to non-binary is a political refusal to act in solidarity with women or recognise actual sex-based inequality.

She's pretty out in the open, really. ☹️

arranfan · 04/09/2018 13:37

Obviously this is a thought experiment but is it true that the political parties in the UK have such atrocious poorly-designed constitutions and internal structures that any loosely affiliated or even Self-ID'd member can declare themselves, LibDemsMumsnet, GreenPartyMumsnet etc. and they can't prevent any degree of misrepresentation no matter how much any affiliated Twitter accounts etc. bring them into disrepute?

RedToothBrush · 04/09/2018 13:29

I thought you still had to be a member of the main party to be a member of affiliates. To prevent entrism.

Oh. Wait...

JoanSummers · 04/09/2018 13:26

how the hell is A.C. still retaining membership of LGBTQÆÊØĪXWJŮ💬💤%£¥₩ (anything else resembling a letter) greens?

Possibly the lgbtqia+ Greens are, like the libdem lgbtqia+ group, not an official group within the Party?

Turph · 04/09/2018 13:20

UKIP also had problems with lack of screening of candidates due to inexperience and rapid growth
This is such a good point. Single issue party expanding at a rate of knots as the voting public lose faith with the big 2.5. Insufficient vetting, and an influx of weird people. What happened when UKIP members claimed floods were caused by gay marriage? They were castigated as a party of crazy extremists in the press.
This is something smaller parties need to be acutely aware of. If this had been better reported, it may well have destroyed the Green Party.

Haddock is such a turd. I blocked him on twitter as he wasn’t good for my blood pressure.
