I came across this on McKinnon's twitter feed, and it screams out that McKinnon is a mysoginist and woman hater.

"Uh...no, women's bathrooms/change rooms are dangerous because of cis women"

I wouldn't usually say this, but I hope RM's employer knows about this. It shows such a shocking lack of judgement, apart from anything else.

teawamutu · 29/03/2019 17:53

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Now is time for the cyclepath's employer to step in. Just applying the same process they'd use if a boring old non stunning and brave woman expressed a mildly GC view will be fine...

Iused2BanOptimist · 29/03/2019 17:51

I reported it too and got the abusive behaviour update. Smile

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 17:50

I am surprised actually, but only a permanent ban will do. That is a thousand times worse than anything Megan Murphy tweeted.

NappyDisco · 29/03/2019 17:47

Hard to turn an eye to "die in a grease fire".

Yes account suspended, very recently by the looks of it, I still have the tweets in my cache.

Mrskeats · 29/03/2019 17:29

That’s not the adjective I would be using

caramelwaffle · 29/03/2019 17:28

RMcK Twitter "Account suspended"

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 16:41

Yuck, I cannot believe this person gets away with saying stuff like that and remains on Twitter yet Megan Murphy gets banned.

frazzled1 · 29/03/2019 15:48

I mean, I'm more specific and want them to die in a grease fire...

Why...... Dr Rachel, what big teeth you have.......

Anyone spoken to Specialized?

A Holocaust of most of humanity may not be in harmony with their brand values?

GassyAss · 29/03/2019 15:30

I got a twitter update on the reported tweet. Smile

Rachel McKinnon is "femalephobic"
ChiefClerkDrumknott · 29/03/2019 10:51

What I take from those tweets is Rachel doesn’t want to use the men’s toilets because Rachel is a lady and men are a threat. Rachel wants to use the women’s toilets but biological women are also a threat, so they shouldn’t be using them either. Ergo, only transwomen are allowed to use the women’s toilets and women will have to find somewhere else

McKinnon will be in Manchester in October for the Masters Track World Championships - if they have managed to scrounge/crowdfund their expensive.

RM is going to regret that tweet for a long time.

Not one screw fully tightened.

Please form an orderly queue to report this urgently to all the county police services, particularly PC Gull, and lets see if the police run around like the keystone cops the way they do if someone reports a lesbian drinking wine, peacefully seated with the intention of asking a difficult question.

littlbrowndog · 28/03/2019 18:15

Or this is what McKinnon said

I am more specific I want them to die in a grease fire

littlbrowndog · 28/03/2019 18:13

So McKinnon tweeted that McKinnon hope women die in a fire

Well that’s nice. It’s the sort of thing no woman has ever said

AnotherBewilderedQuoll · 28/03/2019 18:07

Oh men and their 'burning women alive' thing. Incredibly common as a threat and often carried through with an attempt, in domestic violence. There's 'burn the witch' connotations, which derive from the whole idea of cleansing with fire, and destroying the entire person, to remove every bit of their physical being to make it as if she never existed at all.

It's an expression of righteousness, absolute hatred and desire to completely dominate.

ClosdesMouches · 28/03/2019 17:55

Radio 5 Live and the presenter involved need to be made aware of that Tweet so they can see who they actually gave airtime to and de-platformed Nicola Williams in favour of.

EverardDigby · 28/03/2019 17:42

I read a lot of GC stuff on Twitter, but only use my account for work and don't follow anyone GC and I'm not blocked. Maybe you accidentally liked something at some point, it seems quite easy to do.

ElizabethMainwaring · 28/03/2019 17:12

Thank you I used, noone else. Yes, it must be able to see what Im reading. Terrifying.

Iused2BanOptimist · 28/03/2019 16:56

ElizabethMainwaring its a mystery. Is there someone else at your IP address? Posie Parker's husband and children are all banned from twitter as well as her. But maybe it just picks up what articles you click on to read etc, in the same way google and Facebook keep sending you ads for pink pyjamas because you once looked at some on a website. It's a powerful chain blocker programme to be sure.

ElizabethMainwaring · 28/03/2019 16:46

Sorry to derail, but as I have said before, I do not follow anyone on twitter. I have not liked posts by anyone. I just read. Repeat, do not follow. But I am blocked by McK.
