Glinner’s Xmas Break

163 replies

tarziew · 15/12/2018 01:16

I just watched Graham’s video tonight where he says he’s taking a break from Twitter over Xmas and I realised that a) we are going to miss him hugely and b) he must be in need of some headspace. The guy is a fucking legend and has taken on this fight to much cost to his reputation, not to mention personal life. I feel such love for the man because he is the ONLY ‘celebrity’ who’s vocal on Twitter who seems to feel as aggrieved and as passionate as I do! It breaks my heart that it might be getting too much for him because if he bowed out I’d feel like they’d won.

Graham, I hope you have a peaceful break over Xmas because if anyone deserves some down time it’s you you bloody ledge.

Thank you so much for all that you do.

❤️

Who's said it isn't fine for a transwoman to be on here?

Why is centering woman and children transphobic?

Hmm This is an ONLINE space Not a real space You div

Seriously? Glinner is on Mumsnet, a man in women's space and you're all celebrating that because you agree with his transphobic stance. Is irony dead? Why is it ok for Glinner to be in a women's space and not a trans woman?

Linda Riley is Not Happy. Which means Glinner and Mumsnet must be doing something right.

Linda seems a tad obsessed tbh.

Comerford is a total mediocrity hoping this will get him some woke cookies and hits on his boring unfunny blog. He's no Glinner. He also uses Terfblocker which is pathetic.

I'm enjoying, in a perverse kind of way, the Irish TRAs' rage over Glinner. They can say what they want about him, make up outrageous claims and slurs but they know it's not true. They know somewhere deep down that a man who supported women in Gamergate and got seriously involved in Repeal is not a hateful bigot or a lunatic. They just can't bring themselves to admit it.

Sam feeney is the one I thought he was

Actually MRA comerford isn't a FTM just a bloke. I was mixing him up with someone else who looks similar in their twitter pic

Thanks, I think I know who you mean!

FruHagen · 18/12/2018 00:41

Have a great Xmas Glinner. Take a break and all that!

Can't help feeling that Comerford has seen his chance for fame by hanging onto Glinner's coattails.

What I'd like to ask Comerford, who at least seems convinced of his argument, is this: where were all these trans kids in previous generations? These kids who were so uncomfortable in their own bodies that from an early age they were trying to mutilate or kill themselves unless they were recognised as the opposite sex? If trans people really are 1% of the population, why wasn't this a well-known phenomenon in every age and culture? And don't compare it to left-handed people... we always knew about left-handed kids.

There is Freud's theory of penis envy in girls, but he thought all girls pass through that stage, and really he invented it because he needed a female equivalent for the Oedipus complex. Interesting to note that Freud's theories had a lot of credibility for many decades. At one point anyone arguing against penis envy would have been called 'anti science'.

I got half way through the thread, too depressing. I find it hard enough reading the more general abuse directed at gender critical women, or beng put on blocklists. Twitter can be incredibly hard going at times. Fewer voices of reason as women get swiftly banned.

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 17/12/2018 22:30

Aidan Comerford is just a men’s rights activist wearing a Repeal jumper.

Mr' A Comerford is a FTM TRA

Ah, thank you.

HandsOffMyRights · 17/12/2018 22:25

MRA Comer....
A wind up surely? I'm blocked so can't tell.

TooTightJeans · 17/12/2018 22:21

Thanks for everything graham. Merry Christmas 🎄

Glinner, definitely take a twitter break, it's mad over there. Stay on mumsnet though! You can even make an anonymous account to talk about your MIL's terrible roast turkey curry Grin

Ereshkigal · 17/12/2018 22:05

Who the fuck is that guy and why am I expected to give a shit what his opinions are about anything?

SirVixofVixHall · 17/12/2018 22:04

Bowl. 😁 so true.

SirVixofVixHall · 17/12/2018 22:03

Who is this man encouraging a pile on glinner (on twitter) MrAComerford ? He is trotting out the ridiculous, false suicide-stats for a start.
Honestly, when will people wake up ? The thread is all “ why isn't he thinking of the poor children ? “ type stuff. WE ARE THINKING OF THE CHILDREN YOU NUMPTIES. WE LIKE OUR CHILDREN UNSTERILISED.

NotTerfNorCis · 17/12/2018 18:21

Just seen that the grant is going to be reviewed. Pink News says it was because of the thread here, Third Sector because of the article in the Times. Whichever it was, well done Glinner!

Twitter: sound and fury, signifying nothing
Mumsnet: armies of women used to Getting Shit Done while dealing with small, irrational tyrants.
