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"

That's made my day, finding I've been blocked. I've hardly heard of this person.

HappyPunky · 10/02/2019 14:09

I'm not blocked. I feel a bit left out'! I'm following graham linehan too.

Juells · 10/02/2019 13:58

But of course, Rachel doesn't want a third space for women. Rachel wants any woman who doesn't agree with Rachel to be unable to leave the house.

^^ This.

ShowOfHands · 10/02/2019 13:57

Wow. I'm blocked too. I've only ever tweeted three things. Something about Joe Lycett, something about my brother and a fascinating aside about a motorway. Gosh.

CallMeSirShotsFired · 10/02/2019 13:53

I mean this version is obviously deluded, as it assumes men are the biggest culprits, not those dastardly awful violent women.

CallMeSirShotsFired · 10/02/2019 13:52

I saved this the other day. Seems a good time to post it:

I am also blocked. Must be exhausting living in a world where you see a random woman who lives in the country and tweets about wildlife as a threat.

Ineedacupofteadesperately · 10/02/2019 13:46

Men forget all the time that women are smaller, and what that might mean to our daily life.Even though they know that if they're approached aggressively by someone 6 inches taller, and 1/5th larger they'd back off because they're not idiots, they conveniently forget that that's the status of the majority of women vs. the majority of men

Agree, and transactivists seem to be keener than most to ignore this inconvenient biological fact

Also agree that third spaces are the obvious answer but apparently not acceptable for the transactivists, you've gotta wonder why (not really, it's obvious, they want women completely erased and cowering at home as slaves)

Icantreachthepretzels · 10/02/2019 13:41

Well, if women are too dangerous to go into women's toilets then maybe women should be granted a third space of their own so trans women don't run the risk of coming face to face with these nasty meanies.

I mean, it make more sense to let women keep women's spaces and let trans people have a third space for themselves but - hey ho - as long as women are still entitled to some place to call their own, where bio men cannot go however they identify - I'm happy.

But of course, Rachel doesn't want a third space for women. Rachel wants any woman who doesn't agree with Rachel to be unable to leave the house.

NoseringGirl · 10/02/2019 13:20

I'm blocked too. I only ever tweet about my hobby, occasional feminist things related to that hobby but nothing GC I don't think. I follow a grand total of 3 GC account. Two are friends and one is a local group. This blocker thing is ridiculous.

Beamur · 10/02/2019 13:15

Women make women's toilets dangerousGrin
But that does perfectly make the case for a third space.

ScipioAfricanus · 10/02/2019 13:08

I was blocked by that person before I’d even tweeted anything I think. An extensive block list must be in use which even tracks ‘likes’ or ‘follows’.

Luckily we’re missing nothing. To claim that women make the women’s toilets dangerous (yes, option of men’s or a third space worth campaigning for in that case) and that you have to wear a panic button to work in a university - if only this cyclist weren’t blocking the entire world this would peaktrans an awful lot of people.

SureIusedtobetaller · 10/02/2019 12:46

Wow. I’m blocked. Never even tweet so dunno why?!

Datun · 10/02/2019 12:43

But ciswomen are women who identify with feminine stereotypes like being all gentle and nice. They're the least scary ones surely.

Good point.

#translogic

Floisme · 10/02/2019 11:45

leading to a man with a gun checking things out, says McKinnon, which must indeed have been very scary. And yet it's women who are dangerous? Righto.

Iused2BanOptimist · 10/02/2019 11:37

And Rachel claims to have been doxxed??
But Rachel was shocked that Martina Navratilova didn't know Rachel was a world champion cyclist or indeed know who Rachel was. Rachel is all over social media, with self promotion and boasting.

How was Rachel doxxed????

GrinitchSpinach · 10/02/2019 11:31

I mean, Rachel wears a panic button to work (at a university), so Rachel's sense of risk assessment does seem to be ... unique.

Fair enough if Rachel is scared to use changing rooms at the gym when the female power lifting team are in there. Keep out Rachel!!!

Juells · 10/02/2019 11:26

I'm now a fan of the 'bondage slut intersectional feminist', who is so woke that she's apologised for anything she may possibly have said in support of RM that could possibly be misinterpreted to mean that cis women aren't the greatest threat in the world to everyone.

Fair point. I’m happy to delete my tweets if that would be appropriate. My intention was to be supportive but if the impact of my statements is negative then I chose my words poorly and have no issues retracting them.

"I'm just a woman" in other words. "My opinions are worthless unless they align in every way with important MEN's."

Lemoncakestrudel · 10/02/2019 11:23

Couldn’t be bothered to read most of the thread, being blah blah cis this and cis that. However, one person saying they were afraid until they realised that some of our loos are nicely decorated showed the truth to the lies.

ImFineThankYouSusan · 10/02/2019 11:17

Well, then...

McKinnon is doing an exceedingly good job at 'womaning' if they perceive women to be so horrible and threatening.

AbsintheFriends · 10/02/2019 11:16

x-post Perspicacia!

AbsintheFriends · 10/02/2019 11:16

By McKinnon's argument, third spaces would be the perfect solution.

(I can only see McKinnon's argument thanks to Whisky's screenshots, having also had my utterly uncontroversial work account blocked by McKinnon, possibly because I am one of those terrifying c*s people??)

PerspicaciaTick · 10/02/2019 11:14

Do they support the idea of a third bathroom choice, safe from cismen and ciswomen. Are they advocating a binary choice of a cisbathroom and a transbathroom which ignores sex? Should women be banned from public toilets? WTF do they want?

BettyDuMonde · 10/02/2019 11:11

To avoid scary women, use the gents. Easy.
