Lesbian Strength March and Rally in Leeds on 7 September 2019

I posted a link to this even some time ago and there have been various comments and more recently one for an organiser of the event which has been really interesting.

Then just now mumsnet have deleted it saying it is because it has a go fund me link in it.

Well I posted that some time ago and nobody said anything. And as I have also posted that on a number of other threads I apologise if they get deleted.

What is the problem.

We are trying to support Lesbians and some red tape that users aren't aware of do this hatchet job.

Why didn't you just deleted the post with the go fund me link.

If I believed in conspiracy theories I would say mumsnet has been nobbled by the lesbian erasure strand of transactivism.

Heavy handed and unecessary.

Yes OP I saw the same as PP.. I didn’t gather they were gong to protest. More buy up tickets, so you get a misleading head count. They’re weirdly obsessed with you - creepy! Let us know if you want more info Flowers

Just to let you know I saw a couple of TW on twitter gloating about applying for loads of tickets for this and setting up legit looking email addresses to do so. They've had some of the requests denied but sounds like plenty that have succeeded.

Glad to hear that other women from here are going. We need to start building our spaces again. How are other women getting there?

stumbledin this is what happens, the original thread died off a little then was bumped in the last few days, no doubt ruffling a few feathers. MN get very antsy when people start to report and complain. But thanks for starting another thread, I'm going and know quite a few other women, lesbian and otherwise, who are going.

MNHQ why wouldn’t you just delete the post with the gofundme link in it? Why delete a whole thread?

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but female homosexuals are particularly targeted in online spaces. Deleting their thread wholesale, instead of just the offending post (which I hadn’t seen) seems to facilitate that targeting.

I wondered what had happened to it. Glad it's back so we can ll contribute to tht which can't be named. In the meantime ideas for a banner slogan would be welcome . Working on it...it'd be good to know how many lesbians are expected.

hello - glad to see you've started a new thread Smile

I'd posted on the end off the deleted thread to say that I am part of the group organising the march. We have planned security carefully to make sure that all women who attend can have an enjoyable day.

We are really keen to help build community amongst lesbians and part of the fundraising we've done it to give us a budget to help with travel costs. Please get in touch if we can help.

@MNHQ

Please explain why you deleted the whole thread and not just the post about the go fund me link.

The thread showed how mumsnetters where being supportive to lesbians who are facing a lot of discrimination and violence at the moment.

It is heavy handed and crass to have deleted the whole thread.

Especially as it happened just after one of the organisers posted an info update.

Shame on you.

Deleting a thread instead of deleting a single post?

What was the reasoning behind that moderation decision? Can someone from mumsnet explain?

Otherwise we are going to be left with the suspicion that someone really doesn't like the idea of lesbians organising their own events.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 12/08/2019 23:07

Very glad you've started a new thread. O only wish i could go to the event for allies after the march.

AnotherAdultHumanFemale · 12/08/2019 21:37

It might have been one of those disruptors that reported it to try to get it deleted. I think the moderators are different at the weekend but I'm not certain. Good to see you've created a new thread for it so more women can be aware of it.
