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"

Sounds ridiculous. I don’t even see why RM gets pissy at the other person who talks about the threat from men. Hate the way everyone bows to RM, offering to delete tweets etc.

Well if McKinnon is frightened of women in women's toilets, then perhaps Rachel shouldn't use them.

If you don’t like women in the ladies loo - then keep out! Sheesh the brass neck of these people!

I’m blocked too, quite proud of myself. Could someone screen shot it or something.

MiddleAgeRage · 10/02/2019 10:54

Mckinnon operates their own block list. There is a way of finding out whose block list you are on. Can't remember how right now but will check.

FamilyOfAliens · 10/02/2019 10:52

Rachel wasn’t exactly inundated with replies to this inane tweet so no need to have FOMO over this one Grin

ScrimshawTheSecond · 10/02/2019 10:49

Suspect Rachel just tweets to Rache. Must have more blocked than followers.

Funkyfunkybeat12 · 10/02/2019 10:43

Can someone copy and paste? I think Rachel blocks about 70k people.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/02/2019 10:39

I’m Blocked - and I’ve never tweeted on my personal twitter account! What a ninny.

Needmoresleep · 10/02/2019 10:37

A big strapping lass like her need not be afraid of anyone.

Iused2BanOptimist · 10/02/2019 10:33

McKinnon uses term blocker lists. You can see the tweets without logging into your account or if you keep a second account.
What a crock of 💩 those poor six foot muscular laydees being so terrorised in a woman's toilet.

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 10/02/2019 09:39

I'm blocked too. I must be doing something right Grin

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 (male average height/weight 5'9"/13 stone, women's 5'3/11 stone).

I’ve just tried to have a look at this on Twitter, only to find I am blocked, so I can’t see what has been written. I’m suprised, because not only have I never interacted with McKinnon, I’ve never actually tweeted anything at all. I do follow a couple of gc accounts.

Now, without wanting to derail the thread, this strikes me as odd. If I had a really strong belief in something, I’d want as many people as possible to hear my views, not just preaching to the converted.

Deliriumoftheendless · 10/02/2019 09:08

What threat do we actually pose?

I don’t fear transwomen as a rule but I’m an adult woman who is actually the size of a 12 year old. The transwoman who lives on my street is a good foot taller than me, broader and stronger looking. I don’t fear her as she’s never given me issue to but I’d be amazed if she saw me as a threat in a toilet.

Do I need an empowering baseball bat to be empowered, empoweringly?

HamiltonCork · 10/02/2019 09:08

If Rachel thinks women’s toilets are dangerous she can always go back to using the men’s.

littlbrowndog · 10/02/2019 09:07

Am blocked Andy. I never even interacted with McKinnon
