Sally Hines on Twitter re Woman's Hour

Oh Sally was bloody annoying. What a load of annoying rubbish!

I never heard of transgifted, but I would have thought it meant identifying as gifted. I could do that.

I think we’re going through a crazy period, like tulipomania.

God, she really is pushing the West=bad and East=enlightened feminist paradise isn't she?

It's not even that - it's just mindless post-modernism: you have to throw a bit of "anti-colonialism" into the mix wherever you can.

All these references to "in the west" end up insulting to non-western cultures by representing them as a monolith, as though we're the only ones who think sex is binary. In reality, there are a handful of cultures who allow a third gender (although I bet they mostly don't think of them as a third sex), and the rest see sex as binary just as we do - and their scientists most certainly do.

Transgifted definition from the urban dictionary: ...It is a positive term and can be applied to anyone who enjoys to challenge cis gendered normatives, whether it be in frame of mind, in presentation...

Does this mean anyone who challenges gender labels is gifted? I fancy being gift tagged and not labelled cis.

*"soon we will have mug shots of them all and what they have done on the internet"

No, not sinister at all...*

Indeed. Very Pol Pot.

Aroundanothercorner. in that gdaworkinggroup document we find:

Esben Esther is a father of two, grandparent of five and presents as transgifted.

What parents who have sterilised their kids? Their mugs are all over the media anyway because they are so bloody pleased with themselves for.

"soon we will have mug shots of them all and what they have done on the internet"

No, not sinister at all...

The copy list stems from this tweet

Interesting to follow the link & consider the $$. Sad how many of the bios say supporting children to transition.

Thanks aroundanothercorner.

There is something spooky about the 'soon we will have mug shots of them all'

I wonder who else might be in the rogues gallery.

The copy list is curious. Not obviously the nutty end of the TRA spectrum.

Thank you for posting the original tweet Kat.

yes you did struggle

BOOM Anne Ruzylo you genius

"Hectoring"? Seriously?

Kat - it's kind of hilarious they thought it was Jenni Murray, as Jenni has such a distinctive voice. It's almost as if they've never listened to Woman's Hour before.

Also, as we all know - but presumably they don't - Jenni has been banned from hosting programmes on this particular issue.

Damn. Missed it.

God, she really is pushing the West=bad and East=enlightened feminist paradise isn't she?

And talking of cowardly deletions. This rude person deleted this tweet solve screenshot so they could pretend they thought Jane Garvey was the te*f all along.
This is from the woman's hour twitter feed.

Worrying find there, Needmoresleep. Guilty of wrongthink, then, like so many others.

orchid thank you! A great read.

Here's the original Sally Hines tweet and my favourite response. All I got sorry. The overwhelming majority of responses were in a similar vein.

Twitter feels soooo different these days.

No idea how to do screenshots. However as I was reading the whole twitter link with my jaw dropped, I found this rather shocking post just beyond the Womans Hour' comments. I dont know how Twitter works, as the same post did not appear on Anonytrace's account.

Perhaps you should take a long hard look at this bag of shit. She is Equality
Director at the GMC, the very person who will cover up anything that happens to
you as trans, including sexual assault , soon we will have mug shots of them all
and what they have done on the internet pic.twitter.com/x24qfAreEv

The link is to a picture of a woman, presumably the GMCs Equality Director.

The nine others, out of interest, though I assume they may not have asked to be tagged, are:

I’m not very active on Twitter, but I got more likes than I have ever had before (still not very many) simply asking Hines what she wanted to say that she felt she didn’t get across.

Looks like she's deleted her original tweet: "Page does not exist"
