I'm very cross HandsOffMyRights!

But it's the weekend which might mellow my mood. Have a good one!

Pretty sure EM is fully educated. She wouldn't have waded into this without all her ducks in a row.

Setting the dogs on Emily Maitlis is not necessarily going to make her shut the fuck up and reset everything back to a cosy TWAW consensus.

(Does anyone else automatically complete TWAW with a T rather than a W?)

Good for Emily!

Glad GNC Ben has pointed out what's happening over there.

I notice someone's trying to 'educate' her by directing her to stonewall 🙄

Someones scared...

Pink News - such bollocks.

They couldn't report the news if they tripped over it.

Pink News identifies as a serious news source.

I’m even more glad I put a card in the post to Emily today. If you happen across this thread Emily, keep it up and don’t let the bastards grind you down. 💪

Also, if the BBC continues disciplining female staff about this (as they did with Jenni Murray) it’ll start looking an awful lot like discrimination. I’d be happy to do some digging if the BBC’s GC female journalists need a hand.

Also, WTF is Pink News on? If there’s bias it’s in completely the other direction. Its about the time there was some balance in this debate.

Penis News continue with their "everyone agrees with us but those witches" stance despite their own poll showing that in reality almost nobody does.

Emily Maitlis was just being really clear about what self Id means.
It’s just ridiculous that it’s called “scare mongering” It’s not. It’s just actually quite scary.

Waterandlemonjuice · 06/12/2019 17:36

Good for her, go Emily.

NellieEllie · 06/12/2019 17:34

I’ve been suspended from twitter for saying similar....so haven’t seen the original tweet.

HandsOffMyRights · 06/12/2019 17:33

Tom Harwood piled on, pointed the finger and branded her (wait for it, you'll be shocked) a TE*F.

Jesus wept. Children are being drugged and mutilated and stripped of their fertility and THIS is what outrageous society? A woman saying "no, we don't want predatory males in our spaces."

NellieEllie · 06/12/2019 17:33

Her tweet seems to specifically state that she is NOT talking about trans people as a danger, but predatory people taking advantage of self Id. Can’t some people actually READ?

Thanks for starting this thread as I've been looking at the predictible harrassment Emily is getting on Twitter, which I blame Penis News for.
