Posters all removed after a campaign of harassment from our esteemed medical friend and his chums. What an own goal. This could peak trans the nation. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3375155-Billboard-with-dictionary-definition-woman-adult-human-female-removed-after-pressure-from-TRAs

@DonnaBe

Do you disagree with the definition on a women on the poster? How would you define what a women is? An exact definition, that would include all women and distinguish them from men?

SleepFreeZone · 24/09/2018 14:24

Wow! I’m so glad I’m not on Twitter. It’s fucking crazy over there.

The quilt is great. I am genuinely moved and hope you let me join you in rembereance.

There was another powerful sign at the Labour Conference.

Actually, it was a patchwork quilt. Each patch made with love and in remembrance of a murdered woman.

Give over, donna.

If you see transphobia, please do report it.

It won't stand round here. And believe me, we are very closely monitored for the least infraction. As well you know.

Molokonono · 24/09/2018 13:52

Donna you know what happens.

You come on here and goad people.

It goes horribly wrong for you

You take to twitter for allies to come to your rescue.

Nobody does.

You leave citing the meanies on here and how you have to take time away from this place for your health.

My suggestion would be: stop goading people by posting goady posts and threads, and people would just let you be.

That's what you want isn't it? To live your life happily?

To keep posting goady posts and it making you ill, is a real victim mentality and you really need to withdraw for the sake of your health.

DonnaBe · 24/09/2018 13:48

I haven't seen any transphobia on Mumsnet? Can you please point out some specific examples? I will help you report them and get them deleted.

I guess you’re new here then? I haven’t see much else.

I do not understand why you are constantly trying to de-rail and belittle discussion on a female-dominated forum? If our concerns are non-existent, then why don't you engage intelligently with the debate and educate us on why we are wrong?

You are doing yourself and your cause no favours with your behavior.

FermatsTheorem · 24/09/2018 13:40

So Donna, got an answer for me yet on any of the questions posters have asked on the thread you started?

Like "would you say to one of Karen White's victims 'trans people pose no threat in women's spaces'?"

And "why are you totally misrepresenting what section 22 of the GRA actually says?"

Though I'll agree with PP that "why do you want to be a woman when you so obviously hate women?" is also a good question.

IAmSproutycus · 24/09/2018 13:25

Ordered one black t shirt, some bits and bobs, and debating the red t shirt too. It’s fab, and eye catching, but debating whether the impending loss of my rights is worth looking washed out in complexion. Oh, the tribulations of my little lady brain. Oh sod it, logging back in for the red 😁

birdbandit · 24/09/2018 13:21

DonnaB, no longer answering the awkward questions on Donna's OP, but now on this thread trying to get screen shots. Hmm

DonnaBe · 24/09/2018 13:16

SPOFS

I haven’t shown hate towards anyone as far as I know SPOFS.

I’m trans. A lot of people on here are pretty transphobic. So there are going to be some tensions.

But hate? No. Not from me.

I think you may have spotted your self in the mirror?

SPOFS · 24/09/2018 13:12

@DonnaBe

May I ask, why do you want to be a woman when you seemingly hate us so much? Confused

lunamoth581 · 24/09/2018 12:53

“Separately from” not “desperately from.”

Gotta love autocorrect.

lunamoth581 · 24/09/2018 12:51

It’s interesting that DonnaBe thinks women defining themselves, desperately from and without referencing men, is “lousy.”

Ikeasucks · 24/09/2018 12:28

Donna stamp your feet all you want at the nasty women for knowing what a woman is, what female is. Don’t take it personally..

FloralBunting · 24/09/2018 12:22

Good grief, what are you going to post next?

"I know you are but what am I?"

Are you identifying as 8 years old today? Actually don't answer that, dangerous question these days.

DonnaBe · 24/09/2018 12:20

You can see something loud and clear !?

What have you been taking?

TigerDrankAllTheWaterInTheTap · 24/09/2018 12:15

Keep it up, DonnaBe, we can all see your agenda loud and clear.

LiverpoolReSisters · 24/09/2018 12:13

Same one.

It seems bizarre to me that trans people can't see that yes some trans people do fit the definition of adult human female, but they are ones born female who now identify as men. If you are born male you will always be male no matter how feminine you are and what your gender identity is.

FloralBunting · 16/09/2018 18:28

(and therefore not a woman)

FloralBunting · 16/09/2018 18:27

Gawd blimey, that hashtag is a peach. I'm not saying those selfies look like men. But I will say that a close up view of a very strong jaw, an adam's apple and too much rouge is unlikely to convince anyone that you weren't born with a penis.
