If you are on twitter please report this tweet.

Even better please dig for their crowdfunder to challenge Scottish Government redfining women to include men. They are £18000 carrotts down and it would be a great help to them to have tangible help. Three days to go.

I care little for your surreal efforts to justify it or lay the responsibility for all shitty things ever done in the name of trans rights at my door.

And I care even less for your surreal efforts to justify and excuse all the shitty things done and said in the name of trans rights and your even worse efforts to twist them around and lay them at the door of GC Feminists on here.

No-one with an ounce of decency and fair-mindedness should defend this obscenity.

So take it up with the person who produced it and posted it, tell them that no-one with an ounce of decency or fair-mindedness would have produced such an obscenity, acquaint yourself with the reason why a supporter of trans rights produced and posted it, why it is still up on that thread and why all those, like you, who are wedded to the trans rights mantra have made no complaint about it. It was posted by one of your supporters to slur and defame Wings of Scotland, just like the original was posted to defame and slur Women for Scotland.

No-one with an ounce of decency or fair mindedness would have produced the original cartoon, but you seem to think that one is okay, your double standards are despicable.

While you are at it you could also apologise to Eresh and admit you were totally wrong in your defamation of her, your failure to do so makes it blindingly obvious what the content of your character is.

@MadBadDaddy take your outrage at the amended cartoon to the person who produced and posted it.

The cartoon I'm whingeing about was the first post on this thread, and was described as "a laugh" and there has been barely a murmur of straightforward criticism of its hateful depiction of transgender people, from a site that is aggressively adamant that it "doesn't hate transgender people", and all I've asked is this thread put its money where its mouth is, and TBH I resent even having to do that.

I could have just reported it or screencapped you but this thread damns itself

@Ereshkigalangcleg

I think the recent posts speak to a wider, relevant point about GC feminist women being an "amorphous blob of wrongthink" as Sophocles put it so well. I don't see that depicting an actual Scottish feminist group as the Ku Klux Klan is any better than depicting a character meant to represent extremist TRAs of the type we've all come across on social media in the way the amended cartoon did. It's tit for tat.
The irony being that the amended cartoon wasn't produced or posted by GC Feminists or For Women Scotland, it was produced and posted by someone whose sole raison d etre is to smear Wings Over Scotland, someone who is on the TRA side.

MBD doesn't seem to grasp this either so I'll say it directly:

@MadBadDaddy take your outrage at the amended cartoon to the person who produced and posted it.

Portraying For Women Scotland as the Ku Klux Klan is a disgraceful, appalling smear.

are all over

334bu · 21/11/2020 17:01

Absolutely two wrongs don't make a right. However, the constant attempts to tarnish GC women as right wing bigots is all over social media and even this board.

Escapeplanning · 21/11/2020 16:57

I wonder who will survive the cross fire on this thread.

Body count needed.

Oh. Crosspost there.

SophocIestheFox · 21/11/2020 16:48

It’s not you, eresh. It’s utterly shameless, the smearing.

I wouldn’t even take it personally, we’re all just one amorphous blob of wrongthink to MBD, I don’t think MBD is that fussed which one of us said what. MBD also clearly doesn’t much care if the matter at hand is “things MBD thinks we said”, “things we didn’t say but MBD reckons are worth pretending we might have” and “things posters here have actually said”.

Anyway, there won’t be an apology, so back to the topic: “feminists are just like white supremacists, yes or no?”.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 21/11/2020 16:47

Hello everyone - this thread is becoming somewhat derailed. Can we ask that it stays on track, please? Many thanks.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 21/11/2020 16:42

their inherent misogynistic hatred of us which is the filter through which they read what we write.

It's projection, isn't it.

Call me a snowflake but you wouldn't exactly be the first to denigrate a transgender person's humanity in this way, as Germaine can tell you:

Us females must be a hardy lot then given the amount of abuse we receive around the world from males denigrating our humanity. However, I would not dream of blaming you MadBadDaddy for this.

Winesalot · 21/11/2020 15:53

So can we blame you MBD for the horrific things said by activists on twitter then? Or what about just the person who said it was women’s fault for having eggshell skulls and being murdered by men.....

No? Ok then... Back to the thread.

Absolutely appalling smearing of another poster. Please apologize MadBadDaddy.

RedDogsBeg · 21/11/2020 15:46

Winesalot, the cartoon is our fault, Germaine Greer's words are our fault, hell, everything MBD doesn't like or agree with is our fault, neither MBD nor their side are ever, ever, ever at fault, no, no, not at all.

Just pathetic.

SophocIestheFox · 21/11/2020 15:45

You were wrong, and you tried to smear eresh. It was completely clear and was explained to you at the time that you had misunderstood, but you’ve still hung on to it to whip out down the line if she ever posts anywhere near you again. What conciliation is required here, and what on earth does Germaine Greer have to so with the price of eggs? Confused

Escapeplanning · 21/11/2020 15:43

My long time friend who has transitioned full time since retirement frequently describes people with whom they socialise and holiday together as, and I quote directly; "T girls", in exactly the same manner as Germaine has there.

Winesalot · 21/11/2020 15:39

So, you are blaming a regular poster on this board for the effect of the words of Germaine Greer?

On a thread that is about a vile cartoon that depicts a women's rights organisation as the KKK.

hmmmmmm.....
