Oh I really enjoyed that. Evading the question of why men and women have separate sports to begin with? Focusing on the quantity of their own media promotion rather than producing quality pieces of research? Failing to represent a diverse range of political views in their course? Gosh I'm sooooo shocked to hear all of that.

The good news is they is (not) working for that unfortunate college, not for me.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/06/2020 20:48

On the twitter thread there are (unevidenced) mutterings that McKinnon - who uses that name on fb still - posted it in a fit of pique but deleted it quickly. So possibly self-leaked.

I believe they published it as a footnote to their extensive rebuttal.

300XLTriColour · 13/06/2020 20:44

That was my thread and the deletion message says MNHQ are going through all the reports about it. Litigious reports perhaps? But my attention was drawn to the report owing to a cut and paste of a tweeted tantrum from the Cyclopath themselves, threatening legal action and telling the (named) senior faculty staff to fuck themselves.

I don't think starting a thread to slag off an individual is 'in the spirit of MN', however much you don't like them. I think it's better if the trans argument sticks to principals not personal attacks. Rise above it, folks!

JacobReesMogadishu · 13/06/2020 20:39

Hilarious. Have they given up with the cycling then and taken up badminton? Maybe if they spent a bit more time actually working and a bit less time tweeting and bullying women online they would get a Bether review.

BadgertheBodger · 13/06/2020 20:34

I can honestly say I would be sacked if I had an appraisal like that. Crikey. Nice to see Ivy being called out on their utter fucking bullshit though

YinMnBlue · 13/06/2020 20:32

Wow!

What is the basis of the presumed expensiveness for the college?

Did the college leak or enable-to-be-leaked the appraisal? However awful McKinnon is leaking an appraisal is pretty appalling, surely they are confidential?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/06/2020 20:28

If that appraisal merits a "satisfactory" then I despair at the state of further education Sad

Oxyiz · 13/06/2020 19:43

Christ, I want to work for a US university. All that terrible, terrible stuff, and still "satisfactory". Confused

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 13/06/2020 19:37

So surprisingly McKinnon is all about themself. Who'd have thought it?

ClosdesMouches · 13/06/2020 19:36

Oh dear, I'd send them a message of support but am sadly unable.
They were the first person to block me on Twitter. I'd never heard of them before, followed a link posted on here and discovered I was blocked. Obviously I was on a 'terfblocker' list.

Oblomov20 · 13/06/2020 19:33

No way!

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 13/06/2020 19:31

I was in the middle of a comment bemoaning my slowness in not posting about my shitbaggy bff McK when the other thread vanished.

The farms have a few good "translations" of the academia-speak in the letter.

2Rebecca · 13/06/2020 19:30

"Ivy"'s college page now lists Ivy's main sport as badminton! More female athletes to piss off and show a few hours practice and a body that's been through male puberty can help you progress rapidly if you choose to compete against women.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 13/06/2020 19:28

Essay on gaslighting 😂😂😂😂😂

nauticant · 13/06/2020 19:23

I agree SarahTancredi, this is a matter to tread carefully over.

This thread is likely to be actively reported so watch out for strikes people.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 13/06/2020 19:21

Rache is a star and deserves all of our support.

SarahTancredi · 13/06/2020 19:18

Sorry wasnt trying to be the thread police. But this person is obviously one to seek legal action so probably best to stick to facts.Smile

Cwenthryth · 13/06/2020 19:17

It's this the adult version of getting a gold star cos you showed up?
Apart from clearly McKinnon didn’t show up to a departmental meeting for the entire year.

NewAccountForCorona · 13/06/2020 19:13

Sorry, fair enough Sarah. I was just wondering whether "trans" was automatically a disability for some reason but I accept that I'm probably wide of the mark and it's none of my business.

Apologies.

SarahTancredi · 13/06/2020 19:11

I dont think it's right to spectaculate about disability.

They are under no obligation to explain private medical info.

NewAccountForCorona · 13/06/2020 19:08

And what are the "disability accommodations" does anyone know? Confused

nauticant · 13/06/2020 19:06

Ahh, the link is back. That will probably cause this thread to be deleted too.
