Apparently telling women to 'die in a grease fire' is hate speech. Who knew?

Have a great weekend everyone!!

YAY!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 29/03/2019 19:48

And what did happen with specialised bikes? Is RM sponsored by anyone?

Can we get a list of the UK interviewers who: had the ridiculous Rachel on their programmes; took what they had to say seriously; presented them to the audience as an expert in sport; or indeed in anything; held them up as an equal expert to the likes of Sharron Davies or Martina Navratilova; let their obvious misogyny slide; and failed to challenge any of the transparently fucking stupid points they made?

Because they should be held accountable for their stupid decisions. It has been transparently obvious that McKinnon is a misogynist nutjob who hates women and is making up whatever shit suits them when it comes to women's sport. And really, super transparently obvious that they're not a legit "cycling champion" who should get a platform to speak on that basis - I mean, honestly, the belly alone should have given that away. The people who chose to give McKinnon a platform in spite of their obvious instability, misogyny and lack of relevant expertise, should be held accountable for that decision.

The narcissistic rage is huge. I am sure they will be back to tell the world of their bullying and silencing. But I shall enjoy Wine for the moment. Smile

I’m glad Twitter is eventually realising that hey, men and trans women can be utter gits too.

Perhaps someone could forward the tweets to Specialized Bikes 😁

FermatsTheorem · 29/03/2019 19:44

Couldn't wouldn't happen to a nicer person.

The irony of them raging about people controlling how they use ‘their words’, well HELLO! It’s what you’ve been doing!

Sexnotgender · 29/03/2019 19:28

Bye Felicia...

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 19:26

Those tweets! Please someone send all this to men’s health Uk! I’m not on social media!

And McKinnon said: CIS. Not ‘transphobes’, cis.

I know I used a banned word MNHQ but it’s in context! Please don’t delete or strike or whatever... burn me in a grease fire Shock

Powergower · 29/03/2019 19:26

Fucking yes!!! Hateful person..

StephsCaddy · 29/03/2019 19:26

It’s highly entertaining watching a narcissist implode. Pure comedy.

GoGoGadgetGin · 29/03/2019 19:24

I’ve only got my work twitter account since my GC one was suspended. If anyone has one they can use, please tweet those companies and give McKinnon a taste of their own bad medicine.

GoGoGadgetGin · 29/03/2019 19:21

Oh please Cloven!!

Absolutely Gass it's what the Doc would want is it not?

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 19:15

Yup, that’s a good idea.

If I had IG I’d also send the screenshots to men’s health Uk

Enjoy your erasure, Rachel.

GassyAss · 29/03/2019 19:13

I’ve just had a look at their IG account. One post lists their sponsors. Perhaps they need to see what their sponsored athlete is posting.
