I wish the other side would come with some actual arguments instead of the endless fake news.

That's going to be difficult, because, sadly, fake news is all they have.

Vox authors don't understand open source or the Fediverse. All Fediverse instances run parallel, including Gab.

Precisely.

In the end, what is the practical difference between this and Reddit hosting both genderist and gender critical sub reddits? The answer is none.

A post on Spinster. Ooh Mumsnet you are bad!

"Just this month, gender-critical feminists who have been banned from Twitter for extensive transphobic harassment have recently organized under the alt-right message board @gab to form @spinster, a social media platform for TERFs. It remains to be seen whether the British message board Mumsnet will remain the epicenter for gender-critical messaging, but the movement’s growing connections with anti-abortion and violent misogynist movements should concern both cisgender and transgender women."

Thanks @katymontgomerie for pointing this out.

Vox authors don't understand open source or the Fediverse. All Fediverse instances run parallel, including Gab. We use their Fediverse software and federate with them. You'd almost think they have an agenda. 🤷 spinster.xyz/@alex/posts/102741061380842236

I like the fact that, on Spinster, we can accurately point out that a biological male is, in fact, a biological male.
A man.
And that we can refer to "them" and "they" by their accurate pronouns - he, him, his etc.

I must admit, though - I have muted about 5 posters on Spinster who post excessive photos of their dog or cat....

So shoot me!

I like Spinster as being alongside Mumsnet FWR in my browsing.

Trying to sign up and it’s proving very glitchy for me. Will keep trying but am going to have to create another email address as apparently mine is now taken.

Yes, several people seemed to recognise and welcome her

Sounds good. Don’t think am stupid (mostly!!) just don’t have a feminist education or college education but it’s gresft here for learning so will give it a go 💪

Sorry, tried to make that bold. Messed it up entirely. Gussiegrips, used to be on MN ages ago.

Prion who’s a pelvic health physio. she was on here ages ago!

I’m not an academic and I don’t feel out of place. Only had one weird interaction with a GC feminist repeatedly calling me a troll on a thread about not appreciating full time mums 😂 which was funny. Otherwise it’s been all-good.

Yes, secondin Girl's comment (and I should have said that in my post): don't do yourself down, LBD. Your posts are always incisive and you have a knack for cutting through the crap, and an infallible bullshit detector for realising when a poster is using a string of fancy words to cover up the fact that they have no argument. If that's not intelligence, I don't know what is!

littl you might believe yourself uneducated but I hope you don’t think uneducated means stupid.
If that’s how you see yourself, it’s not how you come across. You are far from stupid and your short pithy answers definitely help me to take a breath and laugh because you’re accurate and very funny with it.
I’m sure you’ve stopped me posting bannable content more than once

If that’s not what you meant - then I’m an arse lol

It's a mix, Little. There are definitely some women who are really bright and want to talk theory. But there's a lot of women just chatting about stuff in general.

Quixote I'm using the block/mute functions for people I think are toxic. Of course it doesn't help other people and as a group we haven't quite built up the sense of knowing and trusting one another sufficiently to give each other heads up about disruptors. But I think most people are savvy enough to spot the obvious entryists pretty quickly, and cautious enough (after all, many of us are coming to Spinster off the back of Twitter bans) to know there are wolves in sheep's clothing out there. That's what I'm hoping at any rate.

Is it really educated people talking there ?

I kinda worry it might be and I wouldn’t fit in

I joined. Seems like a great idea and has some excellent voices.

We've just got to work out a way to dump the toxics fast, before they can pollute the whole place. So far, it's okay.

Just reading a discussion about the menopause and discovered gussiegrips, who’s a pelvic health physio.

And there’s lots of animal photos.

So I’m happy.

Thanks for the Glinner link, stumbled, that's what I needed
