I am a bit fucked off though. I name change regularly to allow me to discuss rl examples without getting doxxed and fired. I absolutely get the mistrust but it’s still bloody irritating that you can be here for 12 years and look like a troll in AS. 🤷‍♀️ Just for believing in biology. Ffs.

And there have been a few people who had opened accounts in 2015/16, posted a handful of bland posts then been silent... only to then spring into life in the past few weeks (in the wee small hours) spouting anti-women sentiment.

How curious.

Absolute rubbish that all predators are men. Do you not think predatory behaviour goes on in lesbian relationships? That no children are sexually abused by women?
Interesting not first and only post. Was throwawaymra not available as a username?

It's not rubbish. 98% of sexual offences are carried out by men.

Again for everyone at the back:

98% OF SEXUAL OFFENCES ARE CARRIED OUT BY MEN.

Screenshot that for Twitter why don't ya.

@TheProdigalKittensReturn

The naming conventions are interesting. MRA - user+random number sequence. TRA - short ladyname followed by a couple of numbers. Perhaps there's some sort of template that generates them.
It's very marked, isn't it?

I wonder if they know how utterly predictable they are.

98% of all sex crimes are committed by men. 90% of violent crime is committed by men. There are 14,000 men in prison for sex crime, and 120 women.

Dear God, this gets tedious.

@PermanentCobOn

How can we support JKR. Do we follow her on Twitter and like her comments?

What's best?

I wish the Ickabog was available to buy already. It would be so satisfying to see it top the children's bestseller list. I hope the conversation shifts enough in JK's favour for that to happen in the future Flowers

[quote Benny10]@SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito

I looked through that and yes there are definitely people who are trans who are predatory and maybe even a tiny amount of predators who would pretend to be trans to get access to victims. But you can't paint them all with the same brush[/quote]
But the issue is that that they can.
How many of the tiny amount would you say is acceptable?
How many women and girls (the real biological kind) would you be prepared to offer up as collateral.
Would you be prepared for this collateral to include your mother/sister/wife/daughter/niece?
Would you sleep with a transwoman - a straight yes or no - and if not why not?

They are basically good values. But they need to be balanced, especially in this day and age where men are less chivalrous, with values such as resilience, self-protection, determination, standing up for oneself (especially with dignity, like JKR!) and courage

That is an excellent post Lamaha

^^ this was in reply to utini's rhetorical question:
If trans women really understood what it felt like to be a woman, then surely they would feel similar?

Lamahaha · 30/06/2020 11:39

Exactly. Just the other day I came across the school prayer we had to learn by heart at my girls' only junior school, which asks the Lord to help us to be truthful, pure, obedient, faithful, kind and gentle.
I wonder if boys's schools taught their pupils these same values? I doubt it.
There's nothing more "unwomanly" than barging in where you are not wanted, where you might make others uncomfortable.

Those are actually traditional British values and even if they are now rather old-fashioned and we don't have to learn prayers off by heart, yet still they are values passed on from mothers of an older generation to their daughters and granddaughters.

They are basically good values. But they need to be balanced, especially in this day and age where men are less chivalrous, with values such as resilience, self-protection, determination, standing up for oneself (especially with dignity, like JKR!) and courage.

You can recognise maleness by any display of entitlement when it comes to female spaces. If he really "felt like a woman" he wouldn't do it. H wouldn't want to disturb other women. He'd say "excuse me" and back out, just like all decent men do.
