To stop facilitating transphobia apparently.
According to the Labour Students women's officer .

intersectionality (lots and lots of mention of intersectionality) and the legalization of prostitution.

1 Intersectionality: perhaps Watters needs to read, mark and inwardly digest what Kimberlé Cranshaw actually wrote about intersectionality in order to understand how deeply corrupted that concept has now become?

2 Legalisation of prostitution: perhaps Watters needs to read, mark and inwardly digest what Julie Bindel has written about this issue, with specific reference to "The Pimping of Prostitution"? Plus reading Rachel Moran "Paid For", Caitlin Spencer "Please Let Me Go" and others.?

Nerk. A word I have never seen before but like very much, Thanks :)

If only Madigan didn't block any woman who so much as suggests Madigan might be wrong about something, Madigan might learn something and not look like such a colossal nerk.

All those on the right side of HIStory are welcome to come and discuss on mumsnet. Nobody needs to misrepresent the equality act to come here. And, really, moderation is somewhat to the favour of TRAs.

I find it fascinating that mumsnet is the most female dominated space I've experienced and yet is not single sex. I wonder if, being online (so no physical bodies) and without money or status involved, males have some of their greatest power advantages removed. And many males are just not used to getting by without them.

LM is Goldsmiths SU womens officer, not The NUS womens officer.

NUSWomens' officer is Rachel Watters. I don't agree with her priorities but she's got real experience and passion in the areas of reproductive rights. Her Bio is very impressive. Very next-gen though: intersectionality (lots and lots of mention of intersectionality) and the legalization of prostitution.

Its all a bit Grange Hill. Lets put our uniforms on back to front. That'll show em.

Sillydoggy · 24/05/2019 16:26

Perhaps Mumsnet should offer them a Webchat, they always go down so well.

If the NUS feels strongly about this they should urge students not to take their laundry home until their parents end their evil ways.
Absolutely. And I trust they will advise not taking a penny from them to top up their student loans.

KarenTheCashRegister · 24/05/2019 16:13

I say bring it on.

No need for lobbying really, MN swiftly deletes any actual transphobia (which is generally posted from brand new accounts, and quickly 'picked up' to go straight on twitter, oddly enough!)

Attention seeking as usual most likely.

HandsOffMyRights · 24/05/2019 15:57

Well I look forward to the "women's officer" explaining the latest on the NUS' Jess Bradley, formerly trans officer.

Well that was a lucky guess on my part!

It's a shame some students at university aren't better acquainted with those large buildings on campus called Libraries and books therein called Dictionaries, containing definitions of words such as man, woman, male and female.

It would save us all an awful lot of bother.

Yes Gin for MNHQ

When were lesbians ever seen as rapists?

Niche porn - where they generally dress as Nazis too.

Honestly, Lily is upping the ante because no one is really responding to them. They need our attention and time, and we've stopped talking about them. Even KF has stopped talking about them.

Lily is just thrashing around for some attention, they are just not that interesting 🤷‍♀️

Outanabout · 24/05/2019 15:32

Right on types love trotting that one out, as if we're all afraid of being sexually assaulted in toilets by lesbians. 😂

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 24/05/2019 15:29

We repeatedly see people linking trans women & rapists - the same as we saw with lesbian women decades ago.

Michelleoftheresistance · 24/05/2019 15:28

Transphobia = standing up for women and children's civil and human rights. And against all the other many forms of oppression, discrimination and exclusion that the trans ideology wants to enforce on women.

HQ, we're going to need a bigger eye roll emoticon.

Needmoresleep · 24/05/2019 15:25

Hmmm.

Some dissent in the ranks. Must be a cervix haver.

"Didn’t expect someone to speak against trans women being treated equally in prisons. We repeatedly see people linking trans women & rapists - the same as we saw with lesbian women decades ago. Trans women are more likely to be sexually assaulted than cis women. #NUSWomen19"
