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"

Look like the tweet has been deleted by RM.

GassyAss · 28/03/2019 13:10

Ohh a bit of sunlight from Martina. RM will love that.

howlsmovingcastle84 · 28/03/2019 13:06

Martina has seen and retweeted Moody's tweet. RM is the gift that keeps giving.

I’ve reported the tweet. Be interesting to see if it gets taken down. I won’t hold my breath. prompted me to save it:

Yeah, it’s downright shameful that one who says “that’s him” about YV gets banned, and one who says he hopes “cis” people die in a grease fire gets full run of the Twitter-verse.

Q: What makes a woman dangerous?

A: Her opinion.

Oh so it's women making toilets dangerous is it? Well Rachel, fuck off back to the men's then.

AnyOldPrion · 28/03/2019 12:14

T*rf bathrooms!

I like that idea IDoNot.

But how long will it be before people will self-ID as radfems to get in there? It will, after all, be the only single sex place.

MsMcWoodle · 28/03/2019 12:06

Yes - Rachel has blocked everyone - makes reporting difficult.
This person certainly shouldn't be used by the BBC.

beagadorsrock · 28/03/2019 11:54

Argh. Wish someone would report it - it's the fun of blocking isn't it? TBH - if anyone knows if the person in question is planning to come to the UK in the future, could something like this be submitted to the HO to say they are spreading dangerous violent rhetoric online and should not be allowed in?

MsMcWoodle · 28/03/2019 11:44

And here's the Radio 4 favourite wanting 'cis' people to 'die in a grease fire'.

Kiwi farms has 57 pages. I happened on page 22 and it is an entertaining take down of McKinnon refusing to join a debate on radio 4. (Having learnt from previous experience that even the BBC can't be counted on to swallow TWAW in the world of sport).

Oh, that's a relief. Sorry right back!
It gets a bit nervy being around here sometimes what with people getting arrested for thoughtcrime etc, I was half expecting a knock at the door and getting marched off down the cop shop for 'stalking' somebody because I happened to glance at their twitter.

IDoN0tCare · 11/02/2019 14:33

Stalking? Wtf? Sorry, not you! Them! Anyone who insists that they want to go into someone’s space and then insists that person has no right to a new space, free from them, sounds like a stalker.

WarpedGalaxy · 11/02/2019 13:38

Stalking? Wtf?

IDoN0tCare · 11/02/2019 13:33

WarpedGalaxy That sounds like stalking, to me.

Rachel McKinnon (2012). Reasonable Assertions: On Norms of Assertion and Why You Don't Need to Know What You're Talking About

Lol
It is well established that men cite their own work far too often.
And of course Rachel cites Rachel's own work.

Obviously.

BlooperReel · 11/02/2019 13:23

What an apt thesis title, since Rachel clearly doesn't have a scooby what they are talking about 90% of the time.

ErrolTheDragon · 11/02/2019 12:44

Where did Rachel get her PhD, in a packet of cornflakes? It would be a complete embarrassment to be associated with such slack-witted thinking.

Since you ask... Rachel's doctoral thesis from the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada)

Not safe in men’s loos, not safe in women’s - what’s a transwoman to do?

I know! How about a 3rd space just for tw?
They don’t want a 3rd space, they want ours but now preferably without us apparently.
Um, ok so let them have ours and we’ll get a 3rd space for just us then?
No sorry, that would be transphobic and exclusionary.
Right, so we can’t do right for doing wrong then?
Yep, you got it.
