Not sure if there's been a thread on this.

Welsh (Plaid Cymru) MP Helen Mary Jones seems to be getting the Rosie Duffield treatment on twitter.

She has deleted a retweet and has seemingly been made to apologise.

It's hard to see what she retweeted as it's now deleted but it seems to be a retweet of a Professor Rosa Freedman tweet calling out JM's offensive response to the recent Keira Bell judgement.

Last night, Adam Price, leader of Plaid Cymru did a mantra statement on twitter....

Helen Mary Jones now being subjected to the "she needs reeducation, this is a teachable moment, she should be removed" treatment.

I normally do vote Plaid. I come from a family of Plaid voters. I can’t vote for a party that sees no difference between my tiny 13 year old daughter and an adult male with a penis.

I'm so utterly sick of this. Dozens of tweets from the top down denouncing HMJ for continued 'transphobia' and support for 'hate groups' from the same old faces. I don't imagine any of those criticizing her have actually read the original tweet and understood the context. There's not an original thought in any of them, just repeating the same old TWAW / biology is old-hat / burn the witch. FFS it's like living in a parallel universe.

This Plaid, is why I couldn't vote for you in the GE and will not be doing so in the forthcoming Senedd elections (or anyone else for that matter).

Link to the BBC story.

Rosa Freedman's twitter account seems to have disappeared in the last hour or two. I had a look at it when I first saw the piece on the BBC site, and it said her tweets were protected, and now it says the account doesn't exist.

What ?! Is this right ? Jewish woman objects to gentile man using the holocaust to attempt to make a point for an ideology that ironically involves experimenting medically on children, HMJ retweets this and is now in hot water ?

This is the tweet, from the BBC story about this.

The BBC refer to Professor Rosa Freedman as 'a Reading University lecturer'.

It says Rosa's account no longer exists.

Hard to comment without seeing the tweet.

@Defaultname

Hmmm. "The retweets cause a lot of damage to people like myself. I for one have attempted suicide 4x" says one irate, dissapointed critic.
Maybe stay off Twitter then, anonymous critic.

I share your scepticism, Defaultname

MujeresLibres · 10/12/2020 21:08

Has Rosa Freedman deleted her account? Can't see the original tweet.

I’ve just dipped into Twitter to have a look. The pile on is horrible. There is so much venom from the Yes campaigners as well.
