Please stop, these boards are destroying my health

Look, OP, I am sorry - you have obviously read something in the here and now that's upset you. I can offer a virtual hug and a because it's 4am and your anguish is palpable so I hate that I have made it worse for you but it's not tenable what you are asking or sustainable whereas changing your settings is. I can talk you through it if you like.

Cults mess with people.

What's bringing you joy now, what brought you joy in the past?

So sorry to hear about your assault, especially with it being brought back to the surface repeatedly

I don't think you'll have much success persuading people to not discuss the topic here afraid, although it's understandable that you'd want that. The discussions come up constantly because a new person who's only just catching up wants to have the conversation so starts it over again rather than reading through old threads. I guess it's not unreasonable really, as tedious as it might be (and traumatic for you).

Would it be helpful to block the feminist chat completely (so remove the temptation to read) and stick to some of the lighter areas of mumsnet?

I hope you are getting some decent support in real life.

and at one stage I did hide all the boards myself - it cuts out an awful lot - but then I became more of a critical thinker. I do feel for you but you need to take time away from the forum if it is causing distress. You cannot ask people to only post in one section - that's infringing on their right to post what they want where they want.

I know it’s frightening OP and I know that the more you read into it the more scary it gets - I’m a staunch labour supporter and I’m now having to reconsider my entire political alinement because it doesn’t seem to have room for women’s voices - which is terrifying as I’m so left wing in every other aspect.

I really think you need a break from this subject, you need some support too, but I don’t think focusing on the subject of TRA would be helpful for you. You need to frame your discussion in a way that focuses on your and your healing rather than the triggering subject of your attackers identity

Just to add I did also write about not silencing women but I thought the OP is just in a sensitive place; I’m not in any way agreeing that coverage and clarity shouldn’t be given to the subject

So...Hide all the feminism boards and you'll only encounter the odd thread in Chat or AIBU which you then choose not to open - if MN is triggering then NM probably is safer for you...but if I have understood correctly you want to shut down the very women who are actively fighting for you not to be triggered in the future?

Hide the board.
I will echo what Ozzy said, you cannot demand the silencing of women.

I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering, you sound like you’re in quite a vulnerable state

I’m confused though about how just changing the location of those threads to a different topic will make them go away though? If I were you I’d seek out ways to block the forums altogether if you really cannot control your impulse to view triggering material - Internet child safety settings etc, or an app?

Unfortunately for you discussions around trans activism etc are quite pertinent at the moment and I don’t see them going away. If your MH is suffering have you reached out to any support networks? Hope you feel better soon

Just hide all the boards in your options - that way you won't see them in active convos and will only get caught by the odd one usually flagged in the title. Silencing of women on here is not going to happen and nor should it.
