Razor blades and stickers again

Radfem art about the stickers!

Totally agree- the TRAs’ arguments fall apart any time there’s a direct question asked. The more women who read the discussion of issues that affect them on MN, the more women who ask questions..!

If we're creating portals of any kind can we please dance around in our shifts like this, a bit?

I'm quite partial to some woo woo nonsense in the woods and they're going to call us witches anyway so...? Pleeeeeeease?!

I assumed Mumsnet must be boring, all baby names and shopping coupons and fancy pram adverts and had never visited at it all... until I read elsewhere that it was a ‘hotbed of transphobic bigots’. As that didn’t seem particularly likely, I thought I better check it out for myself. What I actually found was a bunch of witty, forthright women, some mums, some not, and a few concerned transsexual people talking about safeguarding issues whilst constantly being interrupted by weird, goady, gaslight-y science deniers... And a LOT of recipes.

Oh, and the Midnight Misogynist!

Mumsnet raises awareness so well - which is precisely why the TAs do want us gone. Remember how TAs snuck through the GRA 2004 "without anyone throwing a fit in the press" ?

Well, that's what they wanted to do this time. Only on MN - they can't silence us. They can't shout bigot, transphobe, well, they can, but it will be deleted. They can only read the well-evidenced gender critical posts that centre women and feminism. < That's the 'transphobia' - women centreing women. Women refusing to centre males in their feminism.

The horror!

Mumsnet is not what the TAs say - it not a vile pool of transphobia - evidenced by the fact that they have to fucking lie about what's happening:

• that "bring back section 28" post - written by a trans-activist support - screenshot on twitter as "evidence".

-That "make them wear purple badges" - another sarcastic post by a transactivist supporter. Screenshot on twitter as evidence we're all nazis.

• Razor blades behind stickers - all proven to be lies by the BTP and train companies.

Those of us who were present for "radicalisation portal construction" during hate school should shine our badges or whatever virtual thing you choose (because we all failed Organisation 101 and didn't agree on badges or anything ).

Take a bow because there is not only a thread on Twitter praising Mumsnet for opening eyes to GRA, self-ID and the intersection with women's rights:

A few, short months ago I was blissfully unaware of the chaos surrounding changes to the GRA and the, quite frankly, ludicrous suggestions of self ID. I wandered on to the FWR boards of Mumsnet, a site I’d been a member of for many years.

But, one of the replies in the thread is:

#RadicalisedByMumsnet

Well I can guarantee that none of the 24 StickerWoman happens to put up in the areas I visit each day has anything more dangerous than double sided tape (or sometimes the wonderful Gorilla tape) behind them .

Just been perusing some forums for pure entertainment purposes (yes, I do manage to squeeze in entertainment between organising radicalisation portals, work and praying thousands of rosaries).

I was astonished to discover a thread talking about the stickers, reporting it as fact and even though there was some skepticism from a few, the person who posted it was really quite keen for it to be true (which was pointed out well by another poster). It was mildly heartening to see the lack of gleeful engagement, there were enough voices on the thread taking the idea as factoid to really drive home the damage these lies can do in the long term to the perception of things.

For them as needs help with their cultural references.

I might get a ‘hive of mum’s and villainy’ tattoo.

Or maybe a Mumsnet viper one.

The 'Hive of mums and villainy' has to be in the shape of a light saber, or an elongated Jabba the Hut, surely.

I have no sense of graphic design. That said, I'm seeing a hive in which each cell contains a viper or a we have a nest of vipers eyeing up a hive. We need something to put across mums and villainy but I'm only coming up with the Queen from Aliens.

Hives of villainy - bees with swag bags of stickerwomanstickers and raccoon eyes?

Women saying, "Are you going out dressed like that?

I should hone my cultural references.

I want one in the "hive of villainy and vipers" pattern. Maybe a budding MN designer with aspirations to be an anti-Cath Kidston sort could get onto that. Accessories and soft-furnishings would be grand to start out.

"The US is moving rapidly in the way of dealing with fake news, hate sites, bias, personal info on social media, this will likely move left quickly if the dems take the house and sites like Mumsnet may get caught in the wave of coming regulations."

^ Another trans-activist-type who bombards the MN timeline with stuff like this.

Considering the lies the trans-activists have been caught out on this week - then they'll be in trouble.

Fake news, so beloved by Trump supporters.

As a follow-up to that fake H&S notice issued to train companies: yet again, my jaw is dropping.

I lost a good friend over this. We've agreed to disagree over the past few years, but when I stated that it was false, with evidence and got the response "only because it doesn't fit your narrative. #notallterfs" I knew that was it for us.

Trans-excluders? Are they like draft-excluders? Can you get them in witty designs, like those ones that look like sausage dogs made out of tartan material?

I don't understand it.

Who are they talking to? Anyone with any responsibility or power will instantly come here and take a look.

Any decision maker who wasn't already hopelessly biased, will look it up for themself. Hence the 12 fold increase in people accessing the site via this route.

It's not possible to mute the voice of anyone on here. If someone has no coherent argument, they will be exposed.

That's it.

And let's not forget the comment on WPUK's FB page which bragged about attending a meeting and spitting on the back on some transwomen's heads. Faked account. Stolen photo. Yet another deceitful attempt to discredit GC feminists.

British Transport police have confirmed that claims of razor blades under stickers at Oxford Road station in Manchester were a hoax. And they're not best pleased. From the press release:

"...hoaxers waste considerable police time and divert our much-needed resources from other duties. We will continue to monitor the situation and will take further action should this malicious activity continue."

Reminds me of when my DC were toddlers and would be complaining that the other one "hit me really hard", and then when you probe a little bit the complainant accidently banged their own arm on the coffee table while the other one was out of the room

Yes they can't find any actual 'hate speech' so they have to post it themselves. Like I said, pathetic.

Oh my god that is absolutely pathetic. God, you know you have lost when you yourself have to post fake controversial statements and then screenshot them to take back to Twitter. How humiliating for them.

Which makes the point that they either have to fake stuff or create Mumsnet accounts so they can post their own transphobic comments for screen grabs.

They struggle to find what most people would consider hate speech on MN. But then, for the TRAs, just stating biological fact qualifies.
