For saying that a trans woman who claims to have beaten a cycling record (in the women's category) is a man.

She's rattled a few cages it seems.

I stand with Posie.

I just see man and two women. I can't tell what anyone is supposed to be. bloody autism!

HamiltonCork · 14/10/2018 20:50

Finally deleted my Facebook account. I just can't ignore the hatred for women anymore.

Destiny I hope you sent him a link to the consultation

Where’s the woman who won a race?

Did she sends her dad?

I tweeted a sportsman friend of mine that pic today with ‘ Rachel’ in the middle and his immediate reaction was, is that a man? It’s so wrong, it’s so unfair, men are and always will be, stronger than women, of course they will win when they compete against women. It’s just blatant cheating. How long will it take before people will wake up to this??

Women are only physically inferior if you think that cycling very fast for a very short period of time is a notable physical task whereas sustaining a female body through conception, pregnancy, birth and beyond is not.

I am going to start a Guinness book of records for biggest number of periods had in a lifetime, longest labour, heaviest baby, most challenging menopause ..... Men are totally hopeless at all those physical challenges due to their weak and inadequate bodies so they won’t get any medals and we will be able to assert our natural dominance.

Honestly that makes as much sense as McKinnon’s claims that biological essentialism means women are innately physically inferior.

HollowTalk · 14/10/2018 19:31

That's because two of them are women.

rainingcatsanddog · 14/10/2018 19:28

Just look at the physical difference!!!

Mxn got where they have by cheating,

HollowTalk · 14/10/2018 19:27

Next they'll be entering Child Genius and telling the children they are bullies when they complain.

Or entering the paralympics and claiming the competitors are prejudiced.

HollowTalk · 14/10/2018 19:26

GC women are biologically essentialist - well, yes, I'd agree with that. We are our biology, as are men.

FermatsTheorem · 14/10/2018 18:26

I see on McKinnon's twitter feed there's the usual handmaiden crapola about "GC women are being biologically essentialist and 'limiting women' by saying they're weak and inferior..."

So - recognising that women are less muscular than men (because biology - a statement of fact) = inferior (a moral judgement)... run that one past me again...

But pink ladybrains in blue be-penised bodies - that's just fine and dandy. No threat to feminism in buying into the concept of ladybrains, no sirree.

This is an interesting article on attitudes around transgender cyclists, McKinnon is one of those commenting:

Has RM not got a job? I thought RM was a lecturer?

Cobrider · 14/10/2018 17:41

rightreckoner it’s just staggering isn’t it?

rightreckoner · 14/10/2018 17:37

They are asking people to buy their (won by cheating) souvenir top for them? Mummy issues I’m guessing. Grown up enough to lecture us all in the academic meaning of the word woman yet not quite grown up enough to buy their own sweeties.

Redshoeblueshoe · 14/10/2018 17:35

I wish some of the top sports women would start speaking out.

PurpleCrowbar · 14/10/2018 17:31

Gotcha, Perverse. Thanks!

That really is bloody ridiculous. & if anything more likely to amplify the signal - I don't imagine I'm the only person on her FB promptly resolving to post lots more gender critical stuff.

Like cutting the head off a hydra; it just grows MORE heads. 🐍

Iscreamforbenandjerrys · 14/10/2018 17:27

I wonder if they also gloat when they beat a 7 year old at monopoly?

Iscreamforbenandjerrys · 14/10/2018 17:25

It's really not much different than Laurel Hubbard Confused

Rachel is a cheat.

How deluded must you be to only be able to gain a sense of self-worth from cheating your way to a (fake) "world record"?

PurpleCrowbar you can see her account but she can't post. I was banned from Fb for using the correct pronouns but my account was still there I just couldn't comment on anything. I could post though as they just banned me from commenting Hmm

Weird - I'm FB friends with Posie & I can still see her! Has she got a 'Posie' account & a separate 'own name' one? I saw the post about bikey bloke when she posted it...

Mrkaplanz's deleted posts are a gloating admission that he got her banned. Thing is banning people for speaking the truth only enrages others and gets them speaking the truth in her place. Look how well banning the billboard worked out. It went viral and so many more people are aware now. Last I knew 26,000 had visited FPFW's site to do the email consultation. Not sure the time frame on that but think it was over a few days. So you can silence some, but the rest will rise and continue to spread the word. The truth will out. Silencing us only increases how many hear us because others are only too happy to stand with Posie in telling the truth.
