Because let's be honest, we'll need it.

To answer a question from the last thread.

Some of Stonewall's LGB / bullying materials are really good. How can they jeopardise this work by ignoring safeguarding in this way?

Because poor Aimee had no idea that any of it was real and believed her convicted animal abuser and had no possible reason to think he was set up and entirely honest. And anyway she had no idea of how serious the accusations were. Poor Aimee.

Oh god, the fact Orville wears a nappy makes it all the more apt Grin

Ahem, I am autistic.

I'd argue that, in this, them all being male is probably more relevant than some being autistic...

But then I recognise my bias :)

It's the nature of his species.

He was a baby for nearly 20 years - they age very slowly.

Please don't be Ovrvillephobic.

Doesn't this all point back to the elephant storming the room?

We know that a lot of trans identifying individuals experience ASD.

I also know from running various nerd events that furries/AB are, not to stereotype, but it is a thing, experiencing ASD.

Of course people with ASD should not be excluded from political discourse however they identify, but often the current political environment around trans women suggests to me an underlying inclusive gain which is not what it says it is and has unintended repercussions which we can now see materialising from Challenor and Maddigan's appointments.

Orville should not still be at university, he appeared in the eighties, he is heading towards 40.

Heartstones · 09/09/2018 14:38

Who can say? Though the PR agent (off the record) did seem to indicate that Orville's views on self id were generally critical - especially when it came to the appropriation of furryness.

BeyondAnOmnishambles · 09/09/2018 14:35

If Orville is at goldsmiths, how long til Orvillina makes an appearance...?

Heartstones · 09/09/2018 14:25

And yes...Orville has dyed his fur black.

Heartstones · 09/09/2018 14:24

As the song goes "Orville, who is your very best friend? I'm going to help you mend, your broken heart".

Don't worry - Orville's PR person has confirmed that whilst they have been offered a new opportunity in the political sphere, Orville is far too busy now being a teenager, about to start at Goldsmiths, has long since ditched the nappies and is a goth.

All that remains is the safety pin which is now an eyebrow piercing.

CesiraAndEnrico · 09/09/2018 14:14

Don't you dare drag Orville into this nest of fetish.

I've been disabused of many an illusion via these threads without one of my great childhood loves being whipped off me and reframed as a furry, nappy wearing, baby talking pervy mascot.

Here is the line

Drawn.

Orville stays the right side of it.

BeyondAnOmnishambles · 09/09/2018 13:26

I'm looking at Orville in a rather unfortunate light now, thanks Grin

Is there a really small babyfur (babyfeather?) bloke inside the suit, do you reckon? When we'd all assumed he was a puppet...? Shock

Heartstones · 09/09/2018 13:01

Perhaps what the Green Party need is a full re-brand. Maybe even a new mascot....

Sahra has conflicted feelings about being sexually harassed.

www.facebook.com/SahraRantsalotTaylor/posts/799343983559591

There's a comment there from a TW with a forehead big enough to land a 747 on who says 'I find it hard to explain how I feel in this. I want to assert and affirm my femininity but not on male expectations, yet crave validation. 😕'

Sahra got very angry at a man doing his job by cleaning up some crap Sahra left on the stairs so stole his keys, threw his stuff away, then went shopping to feel better but then got literally murdered when the shop assistant didn't realise they identified as a woman.

www.facebook.com/SahraRantsalotTaylor/posts/798079993685990

I am still trying to find out whether Sahra identifes as disabled as well as L, G, B, T, woman of colour, but I'm very sure she must.

OrchidInTheSun · 09/09/2018 12:24

Sahra also can't spell her own name

doedoe90303811 · 09/09/2018 12:14

Beyond, I imagine we've met before Wink

doedoe90303811 · 09/09/2018 12:12

Sahra is also trans, btw.

BeyondAnOmnishambles · 09/09/2018 12:09

(actually, the majority are younger women. It is the older men that I have seen being resistant to all of the "transphobia". NAOMALT of course)

BeyondAnOmnishambles · 09/09/2018 12:08

Doedoe, are you the twitter doedoe? Nice to meet you :)

BeyondAnOmnishambles · 09/09/2018 12:07

More fucking ageism from the ever so woke. Angry

Funny how they didn't add that to their list of nasty -isms...

(note woke green idiot - I'm not old. Neither are a lot of the people I have seen raise their heads above the parapet in green groups over the last week)

doedoe90303811 · 09/09/2018 12:02

oh dear lord these creatures are ridiculous.

They actually believe this shit

"The more I thought about it though, the more I realised that it is the culture of the Green Party that needs to change - that the problems concerning sexism, harassment, transphobia etc are a part of cis-hetero-normativity."

"The Green Party is approaching a crisis situation. If attitudes between old guard/new wave aren't dealt with, then the party will fracture (in fact I can already see the start of this). I really can't bear to have that happen. Promoting equality and diversity is the only way I can see this being managed and prevented."

So basically she wants to purge all the beastly old women from the party and replace them woke bros and hand maidens.

Scum the lot of them.

Bigger thread than I first viewed.

You know about the dark stuff getting potentially even darker.

Let's hope this is as black night as it gets.

It's like some weird secret society where they all know each other, and are determined to destroy the very idea of 'women'. They seem to have fingers in every pie.

theOtherPamAyres · 09/09/2018 09:55

One member of the Facebook group, Sahra Rae Taylor, stood by her contribution to the list. She said: “That way we can advise people applying that ‘if you want to study law, then don’t go to these places’. Which would allow them at least to avoid being taught (and marked, and under the influence in some way) by a transphobic douchebag.
(Times Article on Academic smears)

Sahrar Taylor was a member of the Green Party Executive, with the Equality and Diversity portfolio, until recent elections. Had stood for a position on the Disciplinary Committee in 2015.

In any other party, Taylor would be kicked out for being a key figure in organised harassment. What's the Green Party going to do?
