....they still scream "transphobia!"

UCLA have said that they will install a number of unisex bathrooms throughout campus. These will have floor to ceiling partitions to protect privacy. Now students are claiming that this is transphobia as it implies that trans people are all peeping toms. They get what they claim they want, but they want it on their terms not ours.

If somebody patronisingly says "how many times do you have to be told" when actually, I was right and it was others, I'm going to stand up for myself.
I know you'd probably rather I laid down and took it instead.

Datun called an MP with a different view an idiot too.

No I didn't, I was quoting Mandala. It might help if you actually read the thread.

And it's tedious and a little weird how many times you can post without addressing a single, solitary question.

I agree good info on this thread despite those who lack the capacity to debate. Just sharing the story from the original post is enough to strengthen the case that the "toilet" issue is not about safety but control.

FloralBunting · 31/05/2019 23:30

God, it's beyond pathetic. Truly.

How anyone could be arsed to just turn up to keep posting "But you're so meeean" over and over while claiming to have offered a 'different view' baffles me.

Seriously. The bankruptcy of this approach is so obvious to onlookers. But I guess you general you get a nice cosy glow from scoffing down all those virtue cookies when you look in the mirror and rehearse the cult mantras.

Bizarre behaviour.

LimeKiwi · 31/05/2019 23:23

I never mentioned Moran.
Well, if we're naming?
Littlebrowndog said idiot
Datun called an MP with a different view an idiot too.
Really conducive to people wanting to engage with opposite views.

FamilyOfAliens · 31/05/2019 23:15

tears and rocks and idiots

How many times do you have to be told - it was Mandala who called Layla Moran an idiot 🙄

Datun · 31/05/2019 23:10

Hundreds of posts calling everybody mean, and not a single question addressed.

Sigh.

CharlieParley · 31/05/2019 23:05

Herland feel free, my post is just based on all the stuff I'm reading on this whole issue.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 31/05/2019 22:55

Yet another thread on an important topic completely and utterly derailed. We have to stop this happening.

It won't stop.

however it doesn't actually stop good information from being here.

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 31/05/2019 22:54

Time to ignore the trolls IMO. Time wasters the lot of them.

terfsandwich · 31/05/2019 22:51

How tedious. I'll have a glass. Wine

LangCleg · 31/05/2019 22:49

We have to stop this happening.

Yes. Because there is no other purpose than to take up women's time and emotional energy. Why on earth provide it?

LimeKiwi · 31/05/2019 22:48

You general you derail it yourself to start with, how can you not see that?! Confused
Unless you mean derailing in the sense that people who actually do post with different views actually go "hang on a minute" and refuse to just let the echo chamber pile on to them with tears and rocks and idiots etc.
It derails when people start that shit up or are they just supposed to take it?

They never get tired of this.

Amazing, the energy available for making demands of female socialisation when you compare it to that expended on something really simple like defining terms, isn't it?

Oh. No. That's right. Not amazing at all. Just the usual endless circle jerk. You'd be forgiven for thinking that was the aim all along, wouldn't you?!

Michelleoftheresistance · 31/05/2019 22:36

Always baffles me when a poster has no interest in actual debate and just states how wrong and stupid and intransigent everyone in FWR is and how there's no point in talking to them....

And then invests hours and huge amounts of energy in repeatedly posting that over and over and over again.

Other than a hope that maybe it will derail the thread and prevent discussion managing to happen, or that readers of the thread will get so bored they go away, I don't understand the motivation. It's like a Momentum member hanging out on a Tory Party forum and endlessly moaning at them all for being Tory.

Herland · 31/05/2019 22:35

@CharleyParley excellently succinct post btw. Can I nick it for use later?

Ereshkigal · 31/05/2019 22:31

They never get tired of this.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 31/05/2019 22:30

How many times do you think women on FWR have gone over this ground?

I estimate, roughly, 12 billion and 46.

Herland · 31/05/2019 22:30

Poor old LimeKiwi is obviously getting tired now.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 31/05/2019 22:29

Well why debate something if the other party is using different definitions for key words: woman and man. We can debate the bathroom laws till the cows come home. I will always say no. I will never, however, stop someone else from having their say. That is what no debate is doing, stopping others from debating or speaking, should they wish to.

LimeKiwi · 31/05/2019 22:27

Oo green fruits. I like green fruits ignores the playground dig
Lots of nice lime. I like lime better than kiwi

Michelleoftheresistance · 31/05/2019 22:25

Tbh, do you really expect at this stage of debate to people attentively and supportively listening to 'gendered souls' theories? Yet again? For the umptymillionth time? How many times do you think women on FWR have gone over this ground? What do you think that 'sigh' signified? Read the room.

No one here is under contract to be endlessly, inexhaustably patient and nice every single time someone appears and trots out the same old tired fairy tales that have been debunked and debunked and debunked. It leans heavily on the 'women have to be nice to be taken seriously' misogyny and that tends not to wash around here.

Ereshkigal · 31/05/2019 22:24

Don't mind if I do, Spartacus! It has notes of green fruits.
