Rachel McKinnon suspended from Twitter

I find it offensive to be subjected to compelled speech and being forced to mis-sex someone for their own validation when they are being openly misogynistic and saying vile, vile things about women. Not going to do it.

Same. I don’t believe misgendering is a thing so as MN has silly rules that make it impossible for me to correctly sex a person, even a person who refers to people using sex based slurs and uses hateful language directed at women every single day, I shall use ‘they’ or a persons name. Compelled speech isn’t law creepy stalker.

A good thing about the stunning and brave™ crowd sorting out T*'s use of "they" is that it would require compelling the use of "she". They might get a bit shock when that edict goes out to the general public: use "she" or else you'll end up in court and possibly then in prison.

Over-reach. We need to see lots of it.

Me neither. I will talk about McKinnon by referring to McKinnon as McKinnon, and not use pronouns at all.

Oh sorry kat didn’t see that you’d posted about Linda Riley!

I rarely use "they" as I just can't use plural for singular. Mostly I do all sorts of grammatical somersaults to avoid using pronouns at all. Initials work well for me RMK.

"transphobe have adopted the practice of misgendering trans women with 'they' pronouns, because they know that they'll be banned for using 'he'

They're doing it on purpose.”

Lolololol. Yes, pal. I do it all the time about people for whom if I used the correct sex pronoun, I would be deleted or banned. And until we are truly in a dystopia where you can compel speech, there ain't nothing you can do about it, McKinnon.

Have they only just worked this out?

Not knowing who Linda Riley is, I googled... glad to see MN already has the answers

How dishonest they are.

We’ve seen it all before, Harrop, McKinnon and SH, narsassistic rages when their authority is questioned.

At least it’s all in the open and we can gather evidence.

Yes, still tweeting, McKinnon’s tweets in the last few hours are classic DARVO, with a smattering of abuse of Paula Radcliffe for good measure.

Look who might’ve rode to mckinnons rescue with her connections at twitter

So RM is still on Twitter?
I give up!!!

They went for appeasement rather than trying to stand up to a bully which would no doubt have resulted in lawsuits and aggro

Why would the college do that to themselves?

Just in case you've not seen it, have a look at this:

Why it happens remains unclear but the fact of what goes on is presented in plain and shocking terms.

McKinnon got tenure? College probably too scared not too. I pity them

Why? How can she bare these misogynists?

I don't get Linda at all

I wonder if the college regrets giving them tenure yet.

I can't fathom what they could have been thinking. Even if Rachel's research had been world class, which, while it's not my field, I doubt... saddling yourself permanently with a vicious unstable aggressive bastard on your team is one of the worst and most basic management errors it is possible to make. And even before getting tenure, Rachel's instability was plainly on display on social media, and furthermore Rachel was tweeting about conversations with people in their department where they had clearly been highly belligerent to someone more senior.

Why would the college do that to themselves?

Thinking of the fragrant Jess, does anyone know what became of them? Did the NUS carry out any sort of enquiry or are they happy that the photos of an erect penis taken in various public places including one which apparently looked remarkably like the inside of the union offices in which Jess worked, had in fact no connection to Jess, and just happened to be on Jess's twitter feed entirely coincidentally?

Their own website is headed 'Dr R MK, PhD.

Now surely that's either R McK, PhD or Dr R McK

*sniffs, in snobbish

Wowzers, all of the shouty capitals and exclamation marks... u ok Rach hun? 🍏🥑🍗🍋🍊🍇

One of the worst things that could happen for the gender critical argument would be for McKinnon and their fellow travellers to learn to hide their narcissistic rages and for the Jess Bradley-alikes to learn to hide their fetishes.

All of it needs to be given as much scope for display as possible.

Do they actually want to be banned or are they just completely incapable of containing the narc rage?

Assuming that the views reflected in even her 'normal' tweets aren't just some kind of calculated stunt for attention, then she is clearly as mad as a bucket of frogs.

I think she has very limited self control and grasp of reality.

My money's on completely incapable of containing the narc rage (irrational) and a belief that having "won" this round, they're teflon (probably rational on this one, given Twitter's track record as social medium of choice for misogynists the world over).
