This is trending on twitter at the moment. If it isn't a perfect example of TRAs wanting to shut down discussion, I don't know what is.

Every time something like this trends, people notice it, look into what's going on and there is more and more sunlight.
This is the reason that the TRAs are losing the debate, and the reason they're losing it at Glinner.
The trans movement has serious problems with misogyny and homophobia, and it's getting harder and harder for them to hide that behind threats and clearly over the top accusations.

I wonder then how cool they'd be with people burning books about the issues they support? Probably not. That would be a hate crime.

Of course. The wankers would be boohooing about it all over Twitter Hmm

Burn books? Erm...isn't that what the Nazis did?

Some of these muppets call anyone who supports free expression a Nazi. In this brave new world, what could be more anti-fascist than burning books you don't like?

I'm assuming everyone on here is happy with Glinner calling women who don't agree with him handmaidens?

"Handmaidens" is one of the most polite things I call women who don't agree with me and Glinner. "Delusional fools" is also one of the more polite epithets I employ...

Death to those who say we are intolerant.

Helmetbymidnight · 12/01/2020 13:57

ban glinner, cancel boy george, burn jrk rowlings books.

how does anyone defend this crap?

iklboo · 12/01/2020 13:53

Exactly @ScrimshawTheSecond. Unfortunately some sides don't want / will not allow discussion unless it fits their very specific agenda. They are actively trying to shut down discussion by threats, insults and calling any disagreement or questions 'hate speech' which, IMHO, totally devalues what we fought for to stop real discrimination.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 12/01/2020 13:26

Amplify everyone!

Let EVERYONE talk! Me, I want the TRAs voices to be heard, I want everyone to know exactly what they've said and are saying.

I also want the arguments from different viewpoints aired, discussed, debated and considered.

I think it is VERY TELLING when people want to ban people, limit speech, shut down debate ('no debate'). Why would that be? What is the argument for less speech, rather than more speech?

Whatever the issue, the only long term way we find solutions and common ground is by talking about it, letting everyone have a voice and discussing things without censure, threat or fear. In my view.

Good grief, these people are tiresome. Still, clictivism roolz ok.

Let’s also remember that women have received bomb threats for meeting to ask questions and talk. Investigated by police and found to be a credible bomb threat.

They have been physically attacked, hit and bullied in public for same.

Also intimidated and physically blocked into buildings by masked individuals shouting at them to shut up.

And been yelled at by persons carrying baseball bats and wearing blood spattered tee shirts with ‘die T*s’ written on them.

One small group of women had the mounted police arrive ready to respond to a report that terrible violent hate crimes were being committed - the police and their trusty steeds found a small group handing out leaflets reminding women of their rights.

Just to put things in perspective.

KettlePolly · 12/01/2020 11:48

"Handmaidens" seems fairly apt because it's an observation that capitulating to the ideology serves men at the expense of women.

He calls men he disagrees with Beards too. Unfairly reductionist?

I don't have time for teenage spats or Twitter squabbles but I follow him because I find his posts thought provoking. It's clear he's genuinely motivated by the desire to stand up for women and their sex based rights, it's not random name calling or baiting.

iklboo · 12/01/2020 11:41

'Ban Glinner for having the right to free speech but I still demand my right. But only MY right. Nobody else is allowed to have the same right'

Good luck with picking through my typos - sigh. Frigging auto correct!

Melroses · 12/01/2020 11:36

The beauty is you can use the hashtag to tweet all sorts of information, and most of the TRA lot can't see it because they have blocked you. Win win.

BackOnceAgainWithATinselHalo · 12/01/2020 11:35

Well they can huff and puff but all it dies is shine more sunlight on the issue because glinner is just one of thousands and thousands and thousands of people who think the same as him. He doesn’t run GC, he’s a great ally but as he’s say himself he’s a supporter. It’s like these people thing GC is glinner running several twitter accounts rather than a reflection of what most people think.

Mockers2020Vision · 12/01/2020 11:32

Bang Glinner?

Steady on Shock

lilmishap · 12/01/2020 11:32

Is it because he set up Glindr.org? It's Twitter without the Twitter bollocks.

TiredofthisBS · 12/01/2020 11:30

I assume that you're happy withwomen who don't agree with the TRA's to be called T@rfs and told to die in a grease fire?

Sunlight sunlight.

It’s all it takes. Then let people make their own minds up.

Hello snowblight, back again?

TiredofthisBS · 12/01/2020 11:17

What's that word for people who accuse you of something but actually guilty doing it themselves? Begins with an H and ends with crite🤔
