Is the OED now hate speech?

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

Can I ask a very basic and probably stupid question but I have onky recently started reading these threads...where are all the transmen? Do they not have the same issues? Now I can see that transmen going to a male prison is more a risk for them than the inmates but we don't seem to hear about transmen being given men only awards (like mx bunce this week in a woman onky awards). Would transmen and all the supporters of inclusivity and lgbt (who love to confuse their fetishes and bigotry and misogynistic ideas for genuine concerns) be up in arms if some group had put ut the sign but with "man... Noun... Adult male human"

TRAs: You will be assimilated into our collective. Resistance is futile.
No - fuck off, we're not having it.

I can't get the donate button to work - won't let me fill in an amount (I've tried firefox and chrome browsers, no luck with either).

Iused2BanOptimist · 24/09/2018 21:08

Fermats I assume Posie can still lurk here even though she's a banned poster? I think tweeting to FPFW should do it otherwise?

Velella · 24/09/2018 21:08

Thanks for the link. Have donated. Quick and easy.

GulagMilkMonitor · 24/09/2018 21:07

Has anyone forwarded this to newsdesks?

FermatsTheorem · 24/09/2018 21:06

Andrew Gilligan, Janice Turner, James Kirkup, Hadley Freeman, Private Eye - please read this thread if you're out there following what's going on at the moment. Follow this up in print. If the infamous UKIP queues of immigrants poster wasn't a problem, why on earth is stating blindingly obvious facts suddenly a problem? What is happening to political discourse in this country, that racist dog whistle politics is acceptable, but defending women's rights is not?

MindTheMinotaur · 24/09/2018 21:03

I'll happily donate.

MrGHardy · 24/09/2018 21:03

Surely that is illegal? They can't just deem something "hate" and remove it. That must be discrimination.

AdultHumanFemale · 24/09/2018 20:59

This must, must, must be picked up by the papers. It is the kind of black and white, writing on the wall, light bulb moment that would make the whole thing indisputably clear to those who may have been giving TRAs the benefit of the doubt before now.

If it was me, I'd sue Harrop for tortious interference. He has intentionally interfered with a contract that he has nothing to do with. Go after him for punative damages, theres more than enough evidence that hes malicious in his dealing

For anyone who wants to donate, I would recommend looking at their website. They've put out a statement. As you may have read the billboard has been deemed transphobic and is being removed in an act of grotesque misogynistic rage, we are seeking legal advice and will make a full statement in due course. In the meantime we have a donate button at the bottom of every page and would welcome any contributions to our campaign....
