For donating to Sarah Phillimore's crowdfunder 🙄

twitter.com/joannaccherry/status/1332668158516342784

An open letter, signed by MP's, was circulating calling for an investigation into some MP's ''transphobia''. Lots of dragging Joanna Cherry through the mud ensued. Donating to Sarah Phillimore's crowdfunder is allegedly an MP ''funding hate'' and needs investigating, along with Christopher McEleny for pointing out that there were no transphobic murders in Scotland. That apparently undermines trans day of remembrance...I'd say the fact that there were 0 transphobic murders in Scotland is the thing that undermines that, but what do I know?🤷‍♀️

Some people who signed the letter shat themselves afterwards and asked for the bullshit parts to be removed from it after they'd already bloody signed it. The original letter has now been edited. Not because it was bollocks though, oh no, but because this is a 'common tactic' of those that oppose trans people. (Nah mates, it's people waking up and getting sick of your lies and propaganda).

Sarah has written a letter to the Scottish Green Party, the Scottish Liberal Democrats and the SNP asking for an urgent investigation and reply, being as members of the SNP signed the letter, and she is now receiving the usual sexual threats and threats of violence as a result, from the right side of history brigade.

Here's Sarah's letter which explains it all better than me.

I'm so sick of these toxic, controlling brats.

It's so weird, all being played out on twitter like this, everyone screenshotting, quote tweeting that, he said, she said, I have totally lost track of what is going on.

It really does seem like the likes of David Paisley and friends will not stop until... Well I'm not really sure what they are actually trying to achieve to be honest?

@Passmeabottlemrjones

Is this whole entire thing just about the trans issue? It's crazy! Confused
Yup, there’s real deep rooted opposition to women retaining their rights.

Indentity politics? The politics of notches and nicks?

SunsetBeetch · 30/11/2020 18:02

@highame

When people kept using the phrase 'culture war' I thought that was a bit of hyperbole but this is all just something else.
I used to see right wing people usinf the term "indentity politics" and roll my eyes...

TRAs saying that because #Istandwithjoannacherry is trending in the US, that proves that the "anti trans" movement is funded and run by the US Christian Right Grin

More sense from Wings. This is really too much!

Hopefully this will get some reaction from the leadership.

Certainly Humza Yousaf will know that they can probably no longer sweep it under the carpet.

Oh good she is trending

Good to see IStandWithJoannaCherry is trending on twatter.

Sadly, it seems that Alyn Smith might have shared private twatter messages from Joanna to Alyn about Jordan Henderson with someone who has now shared it on twatter. Seems a twunt move for Alyn to have shared them and for the person putting them on social media.

“Who cares what Redtrees thinks”

I’m guessing you lot given that you’re still discussing the post 12 hours later. Who would have thought that a well known pop culture reference could cause so much confusion. But the ensuing posts explain a great deal. I’ll try to keep any future posts very simple.

Having a long thread is no a sign of one's importance. If you only want, say five replies, could you instruct us beforehand? Abstaining from prodding/bumping would be a sensible thing,too, surely?

I'm trying to find the Sherlock Holmes quote where he says that while Watson isn't a genius, he serves to help others focus their ideas.

Do forgive posters for not having the foresight to watch every episode of every popular TV show on the off-chance someone years later decides to make a ridiculous reference to it because they have nothing else to offer 🙄

He's a strange bloke, that Paisley.

That FairCop tweet-people really can't fucking read, can they? Or their comprehension is severely lacking. Jesus, they must have constant migraines.

I had to laugh yesterday. Someone going off at Sarah Phillimore on Twitter for her 'hate associations' accused her of being a coward hiding behind a cartoon picture on Twitter. Grin She uses her full name on there, you can easily find her through Google.

I really can't believe people this idiotic have so much influence.

Well, exactly.

I only explained because @littlbrowndog seemed to need an explanation, not to give credence to RT.

The SNP is a one-issue party and so it's members have a wide range of beliefs and priorities, only united by the ambition of having an independent Scotland. Despite that, they have been an effective political force.

I do wonder what might happen if a party was formed around the single issue of protecting women's rights. There are some very bright and powerful women fighting for us, if they were able to join forces we could have a Dream Team.

Baroness Nicholson is forming something - wouldn't it be amazing if she could create a cross party group with Joanna Cherry, Joan McAlpine, Rosie Duffield, Jackie Price Doyle and Liz Truss - and who else?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 30/11/2020 10:47

He is a worthy successor to Harrop, the role of obsessive male trans ally who takes pride in punishing noncompliant women was going spare.

7Days · 30/11/2020 10:46

The pomposity of it.
He's an actor isnt he?

If you like old comedy references, I can just picture him proclaiming in grief how he shall never play the Dane ...

littlbrowndog · 30/11/2020 10:45

That Paisely guy was in a twitter convo with the head of amnesty Ireland

Backing each other up

What do women’s rights have to do with either of them ?

Saw Lesley riddoch was surprised at the FM half hearted support of joanna cherry on radio Scotland

SunsetBeetch · 30/11/2020 10:45

Christ he's even putting emojis at the end of his tweets like Harrop.
