Is the OED now hate speech?

Interesting to note some of the sources of the complaints: twitter.com/Direct_PS/status/1044263398333132800

Donated too - I think I'm going to have to switch my charity direct debits if this nonsense carries on at this rate. I usually just lurk on these boards but this, Bunce and the Girl Guide stuff (GG more than anything) has goaded me into action. I've emailed the man listed as CEO of billboard company (Primesight) and the Advertising Standards Authority. Will share if I get anything sensible back.

Donated. I have never donated a penny to anything political in my life before all this but suddenly it's becoming a habit.

PerverseConverse · 24/09/2018 22:52

Donated for whatever Posie wants to do with my money to fight this fight for our rights.

They need a whole series woman = adult human female, man=adult human male, Aadvark = whatevva, ..................ending with 2+2=4

As someone in the same field as Harrop I have to say everyone I know is shocked and appalled by his behaviour and disdain for women. It is a special kind of arrogance that means you dismiss thousands of women speaking out as bigots, purely because you want to further your career. Sorry for bad forMating -site has gone weird. Do you know if he has had any action taken against him? I know plenty of people have complained to the GMC. Is it worth complaining to his uni too? Would internal complaints, from someone like you, carry more weight?

theOtherPamAyres · 24/09/2018 22:19

This sort of concerted malignant action limits our ability to inform and consult on a law change. The difficulty of responding online to the government's consultation exercise (because of the level of literacy required) add to the perception that there are insurmountable obstructions in a so-called free and liberal democracy. Why?

DuckingGoodPJs · 24/09/2018 22:07

Has anyone informed the OED that they are 'transphobic bigots' yet?

Molokonono · 24/09/2018 22:05

Donated.

SomeEnchantedEaring · 24/09/2018 22:02

Also donated.

NettleTea · 24/09/2018 22:00

just to add, the donations are going to the campaign, not to a legal fund......

TimeLady · 24/09/2018 21:58

Donated.

SophoclesTheFox · 24/09/2018 21:57

Wow. You couldn’t pay for publicity like this. I actually think it’s good news that this has provoked such a deranged reaction. Why all the all the fuss and pother if activists are so convinced that transwomen are adult human females every bit as much as women are? Does not compute...

AbsintheFriends · 24/09/2018 21:53

Donated to standingforwomen.

NettleTea · 24/09/2018 21:49

The Billboard has nothing to do with Fair Play so dont tweet or message them. They are running a campaign right now, but this is not their billboard. www.standingforwomen.com/about IS WHERE YOU NEED TO GO.

JackyHolyoake · 24/09/2018 21:41

Hee hee! This is absolutely hilarious! Dr Harrop and all the trans activists are now admitting that they know they are male or they would not be objecting in any way to the definition of woman as an adult human female. So, Posie was right, after all, if you recall that You Tube video!
