Batten down the hatches.....

I came here to see what was so transphobic about the website that asked the PM about biscuits and stayed!

Me too! I was told to come here and hate-read so as to ‘educate myself’ on the evils of terven feminists...

... found my tribe!

If we started getting mobbed, I suggest we post lots and lots of screenshots of TRAs being abusive on Twitter. That way, anyone coming over here to marvel at the evil transphobes will instead get a useful education into their own side's tactics.

Kiwis 🤷‍♀️

A few friends have also started to ask questions about TRAs, having being shocked at the comments under JKR posts of children's drawings. Such vitriol and unhinged comments are making them reconsider TWAW.

I actually got a wide eyed look and an eye brow raise from DP today after he was taking the piss out of me caring about this and I showed him the dice from Proud Trust. He couldn’t believe his fucking eyes!! He was always on my side but now he really really gets it.

As far as I am aware Mumsnet don’t like links to any other forums at all - a sensible precaution to prevent users signposting competitors!

Ok I'm afraid you have to tell me. Kiwi farms? Fruit farms? I literally have to know.

What a fabulous thread!

Ah - a nice unbiased survey brought to you by the woman who's been proved in court not to know what 'transphobic' means.

In her lexicon it seems to be a term including something like 'transwomen who don't agree with me' and 'people concerned with the safety of children'.

As far as I'm aware Campervan69 and StealthPolarBear linking to kiwifarms hasn't been allowed here for quite some time.

I think not permitting those links is a good idea.

Lols at the mummymins likes and retweets

Sad as

Please don’t despair. I live in the real world. JK Rowling and the Asda debacle have got people asking questions.

Many people who before saw no problem with trans rights. Now they are seeing the erosion and potential conflict with sex-based rights.

Most people I knew thought trans women were all like Caitlyn Jenner or people who’d had extensive surgery. They have seen the responses to JK Rowling and are starting to ask questions.

The only hope the TRAs have us cancel culture and I am a descendent of a witch!

I hope MNHQ will manage to stay strong, but I think a plan B would be useful. Happy to go wherever the chat is!

You have wonder if the Newsnight story about the Tavistock clinic and the Woman's Hour feature today about the NHS changing its guidance on puberty blockers to express the clinical uncertainty about long term effects has rattled a few cages. That Twitter poll positively screams “squirrel!”

Ah well, there’ll a few weeks of patiently explaining things to new posters, with some recipe sharing along the way, until things settle with our newly expanded GC ranks. This only goes one way, so keep advertising for us I say. 👍

I bet Mumsnet’s got rate has shot right up!

Silver linings and all that.

It reads a bit like this to me..

We've had a cracking week of stamping down on anyone standing up for women's sex based rights. We're drunk on power, so to go after next..

A) Popular social media platform this question is on
B) Other popular social media platform
C) WOMEN! Look everyone, over THERE! WOMEN! They have vaginas and everything, and now they're TALKING!! To each other! They can have whole conversations and not pay any attention to penises. How DARE they!

Is Tattle GC? I don’t know why that tickles me, but it does.

There's Parler or Spinster or Glindr (lol). I've just signed up to Parler. There are others there Emma Hilton for example.

I imagine Mumsnet going down will peak a lot more people than a subreddit. I would think it counterproductive.

Do we have a backup plan if something happens to take FWR down here? We'll need somewhere else to talk.

Incidently, thanks so much to MN for supporting women talking about being women.

ReggieCat Nice

But I know the stories of my great great great grandmothers 😎

May the battle commence then.

I hope Mermaids are reading these posts and they understand that we won’t be silence and we won’t be cancelled.

Are they really suggesting Mumsnet is transphobic for daring to put forward an alternative view? How dare women resist their ideology.

And perhaps this will be the opportunity to force the argument out into the open; from social media into the papers and into the public sphere.

Let’s have a healthy and open debate and see whether the wider public agree with the TRA. Let them expose their aggression and see where that gets them.

Meanwhile I hope their so called poll diverts many here so they can read the arguments put forward and partake in some debate and reasoning that is not vicious or vulgar or threatening.

And for those who come here to disrupt and try to shut down the debate ‘Come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough’.

It’s not exactly a comparative line up

Which of these websites is the worst for sexually bjectifying women?

Daily Mail
The Sun
Pornhub

I think it’s called loading the deck.

Helen is to scared of KF to go after them, and she knows they don’t care - she’s got some amusing nicknames over there . Posting about MN gets her woke points and pats on the head. She’s just an attention seeker - although after getting her arse handed to her in court you’d think she’d still be hiding under the bed in shame.

Game on

We are the people our parents warned us about
