Now r/GenderCritical has gone, Helen from Mermaids wants to know which is the most transphobic

Not sure who's going to be targetted next, but MN is winning.

Nice to see we are being monitored, mentioned and screen-shotted on Twitter.

Hi to anyone out there!

CourtneyLurve · 30/06/2020 21:58

Lipstickalley, Tattle and their new offshoot site are all gender critical. Before moderators started doing mass deletions, the Harry Potter reddit forum was full of fans agreeing with JK Rowling.

When women are given platforms free from men trying to control the conversation, the truth will come out.

StealthPolarBear · 30/06/2020 21:54

Yes but this is gender critical linking. So a Bad Thing.

Campervan69 · 30/06/2020 21:53

Never has been before

StealthPolarBear · 30/06/2020 21:52

Thank you campervan. Maybe linking is banned?

Campervan69 · 30/06/2020 21:50

That's new. I put a link to a Kiwi Farms thread and got this message

@TheShoesa pretty much the first MN thread I ever posted on was about a transwoman in a womans changing room. I was shocked by the 'transphobic' replies. Now here I am several years later and my eyes have well and truely been opened!

If people bother to read the threads here then it could easily backfire

Campervan69 · 30/06/2020 21:47

StealthPolarBear Kiwi Farms.

Fascinating place.

Think archiving as much as possible would be a good idea.
Not because I am running scared but because it creates a record of the site as it is today, of this hour, that can not be altered or tampered with (well not by the likes of me anyhow, I am sure there are bigger brains out there who could figure out how).
Gutted about Gender Critical.

I’m phobic about little holes in things. I think it’s called trypophobia. Like poppy seed pods or those frogs that give birth out of their backs.

SerenityNowwwww · 30/06/2020 21:43

That’s one sick puppy.

StealthPolarBear · 30/06/2020 21:43

Am I being dim... Fruit farmers?

Highperbolay · 30/06/2020 21:43

Helen Islan is absolutely obsessed with Mumsnet.

Hi Helen! 😘😘😘

StealthPolarBear · 30/06/2020 21:42

So they're coming for us. Is it too much to hope they're coming with reasoned, structured arguments and a willingness to listen and engage?
Shall I just tattoo TWAW on my forehead and throw myself in jail now?

Beatrixpotterspencil · 30/06/2020 21:42

Is Mumsnet transphobic?
Fill me in I’m behind.

TheShoesa · 30/06/2020 21:42

I have seen quite a few posts recently of people saying - I came to Mumsnet see how bad the transphobia was and ended up staying for the discussions after having had my eyes well and truly opened to the other side of the no debate.

So Helen might not get the result she clearly craves.

RhapsodyandAshe · 30/06/2020 21:41

There's a long list of reasons that they will go for me Mumsnet over the fruit farmers, starting with:
This is a women-centric website.

Aww Helen we’re the granddaughters of the witches your ancestors couldn’t burn 🤷‍♀️

I beg to differ

They won't go after Kiwi farms. I wonder why? Hmmmmm

Al1Langdownthecleghole · 30/06/2020 21:34

Comes in cackling wildly, does a broomstick loop de loop and leaves in a puff of green smoke.

Helen, you flatter me.

BlackeyedSusan · 30/06/2020 21:34

If I were on the fruit farm, I would be really offended to be ignored like that. Is it fruit phobia?

WeetabixBananaHipsterFFS · 30/06/2020 21:31

Did anyone not imagine MN would be next up?

BaronessWrongCrowd · 30/06/2020 21:30

Yup, the one and the same. Didn't she try and sue Miranda for transphobia?
