Hines waving her homophobia around like an achievement...

@BeMoreMagdalen thank you for explaining what ratio means, I wasn’t sure either.

Make up incomprehensible rubbish at an early stage and with the right kind of leverage and the right contacts you've a good chance to have written a founding paper. It's got more in common with the 19th land rush in the US than with rigorous academic development.

nauticant, well said. Its embryonic period was American Academia, but it has spread like a Californian wildfire and has a vice like grip on the apparatus of power throughout the West. Watching the corporate capitulation to this newspeak nonsense would be comical. But none of this is remotely funny. When you have an aggressive pressure group who want to invoke the power of the state to prevent people giving the dictionary definition of ‘woman?’ This is time to realize that 1984 is no longer a work of historical, dystopian satire...

What is/does ‘ratioed’ mean?

I would expect she uses the currently trendy 'queer female'. Saying openly that you're lesbian if you're biologically female these days is taken as a declaration of unacceptable political beliefs.

Well, if she’s expressed genital preferences then she’s obviously transphobic.

Quite. It strikes me that she's really going for Dr James Gears for saying she showed disdain for Lesbians, but how does she now he isn't a Lesbian?

Well, if she’s expressed genital preferences then she’s obviously transphobic.

Is that what being ratioed (sp?) looks like?

IS she gay? I wasn't aware

That is my impression. Lots of pics of GF on her timeline. Also this tweet:

I posted on the Mimmymum thread yesterday that I think Helen and Sally and all the other cheerleaders for Trans and Queer ideology are aware that their time of influence is running out and they face the reckoning. They're just letting rip on all fronts, even if by doing so they reveal themselves to be what we've known all along. They're desperate because they know they're rumbled. The game is up.

Once trans and queer and gender ideology are revealed to be irrational, misogynistic, homophobic, quasi-religious beliefs which can't stand up to rigorous academic scrutiny I imagine there will be people who've spent £27,000 studying sociology and gender studies at Prof Hines' institution who'll look for ways of getting their money back. People who will describe themselves as indoctrinated and Hines et al as abusive cult-type leaders. I bet Hines' university is already asking questions about her competence.

3. She thinks being gay herself protects her from a lot of the criticism that such comments would get someone else.

IS she gay? I wasn't aware.

I always think of her as the female equivalent of Olly Plimsolls...

Was just thinking exactly the same thing, Cwenthryth. I don't want to get a woman sacked, no matter how batshit crazy and unpleasant she is. But I do think, given the ton of bricks that falls on any woman who dares to state biological fact, that someone in authority ought to suggest she takes a good look at herself...

I think the ‘nazi/you want me dead’ person seems acutely mentally unwell tbh, and if so, only hope that those on Twitter who know them IRL recognise that and try to get help, rather than egging them on with all the T*RF rhetoric. They seem very vulnerable.

Hines - I’m flabbergasted by her blatant homophobia, it’s disgusting. I’m loathe to emulate the TRA tactics of reporting to employers, but surely her university cannot let it go uncommented upon, give she is tweeting openly in her own name and representing them.

I can't figure out what on earth she was on about with that bonkers line about lesbians pretending to be homosexual. Can anyone shed any light?

My theory is:

1. She is trying to be funny/mocking a lot of the time. Her sense of humour is so odd that it's hard to tell.

1. She is not bright, so isn't able to formulate an argument, the 'humour' is a deflection.

1. She thinks being gay herself protects her from a lot of the criticism that such comments would get someone else.

To be fair, I read that as an - albeit incoherent - dig at the arguments about political lesbianism that have been going on lately.

Maybe she is also a performance art lecturer?

Presumably that one can just be ignored? Hines, unfortunately, is in a position of influence and authority. I can't see how she hasn't overstepped the mark with this though.

It’s like squeezing a pimple - Sometimes you just can’t help yourself (and are amazed at how much yuk comes out of it)

I’ve seen worse - the one who calls everyone a Nazi and just repeats ‘you want me dead’

I regret the day I came across that person on Twitter. I can only assume the few "likes" they get are from bot/fake accounts.
Best to ignore.

I'm guessworking here.

Maybe it was an accidental moment of truth.
She thinks "lesbian" means male transwomen with peen, who are exclusively attracted to women without peen. They are just pretending to be homosexual.
It's what GC feminists have always said.

Maybe Sally Hines is on her way to a proper waking up.

I’ve seen worse - the one who calls everyone a Nazi and just repeats ‘you want me dead’ - and seems to pop up on here once in a while to agree witH themself for screenshot purposes.

I can’t quite decide if it’s a bot, a conceptual artist or someone who really needs to step away from social media.

Hines seems to be having a competition with herself to be the most offensive person on the Twatter hellsite - and I have to concede, even with her contributions, that's a high bar.

Congratulations, Sally! You've got yourself another rung up the ladder.

That deletion was just a late night spammer, btw.
