Reddit banning users for sharing Julie Bindel article

WarriorN I've just this week started reading threads on that site. It has been massively educational for me. I did not realise just how much I didn't know.

I remember the swimming thing but not the other details. Getting themselves (singular) in to a girls school to talk about feminism is another wtf of that article.

Just fell down a rabbit hole via 🥝 and found something called wikifur. A Wikipedia for furries.

Stopping there.

It just gets worse and worse. When, but when, in any other circumstance, would you approve a swimming session for such a wide age range?

I struggled to stomach that article

A topless swimming session for people who considered themselves transgender and were aged between 8 and 25.

What the actual hell. What the actual hell.

Thanks mnhq

Sorry didn't realise it would link to that film.

Strong stomach needed:

But perhaps the most disturbing revelation on this page is that ‘Baloo’ also volunteered with a children’s gymnastics groupp**. After he was jailed it emerged that he had a YouTube account which remains up and includes a favourites playlist. Most of the videos on the list are of very young girls being seriously injured while performing gymnastics.

And many more

Green activist Andy Healey gets quoted in Julie Bindel's latest for the Spectator

I'm not disappointed in him, he's never been much of a feminist ally and happy to distance himself from GC women.

So, so disappointed in Jesse Singal. He KNOWS how TRAs lie and twist things and hound people. They do it to him too fgs!

Graham and Arty discuss Jesse (and Katie) in an "", at the head of the episode.

GL: It won't save you, condemning me, and sharing only partial versions of what I did, to make me look bad. That won't save you! I don't know why these people think they're suddenly going to be suddenly forgiven by some of the most psychotic activists in the world because they throw me under the bus. You know? They won't save you. They'll keep on lying about Jesse Singal until the end of time.

AM: It's the hardest thing, because it breaks my heart, because I actually am so upset about what happened to Jesse. And as much as I don't entirely agree with Jesse, I'm sympathetic to him and I always have been. So it really upsets me - I'm so angry with him right now. Literally I asked for, I literally asked a teensy bit of support for Graham, and he's like "nah, can't do that". What a jerk!

(More nuanced discussion follows, but upset Arty's always cute).

You're all going to be shocked that Parker Molloy, who tried to oust @glinner from Substack, is a terrible person.

'The blogger and “activist” caused quite a stir this year when she accused RuPaul — yes, RuPaul — of being transphobic in an angry op-ed published by The Advocate followed by an unprovoked hate tweet that read: “I fucking hate @RuPaul. Like… there really very are few people I truly hate. He is one of them.” If that wasn’t bad enough, later in the year Molloy lashed out at trans writer Kelsie Jones, telling her to “cut yourself…stupid cunt…drink bleach…die in a fire,” earning herself a spot on the Trans Violence Tracking Portal, a website dedicated to “collecting data on anti-transgender violence in order to protect the transgender community in real time.” '

Maybe you should write about her next, @glinner?

I find it incredible how many men get angry with Glinner for not being kind to men.

I know. Check out this Jesse Singal shitshow:

I think Graham often acts in a cruel way, whether it's posing as a trans woman on lesbian dating sites, bashing random powerless people from the internet, and so on. He shoots himself in the foot repeatedly.

Wow the responses to this! If you don't think his goal here is to make his point by being as cruel as possible and to mock trans women, I don't know what to tell you. It's perfectly possible to talk about self-ID and other subjects without resorting to this crap.

But all the amazing replies! Nice ratio, Jesse.

I generally think Jesse's pretty great, but I hope Katie calls him out on this. If not publicly, at she should stage a lesbian intervention privately.

I find it incredible how many men get angry with Glinner for not being kind to men.

But find it entirely unremarkable how so many men are being extremely unkind (read: abusive and threatening) to women.

Turn out sex matters a lot.

Thanks for that, Genesis1v27. Extraordinary, isn't it?

Women Are Human has the details on the impact of the letter and a mention of Challenor's involvement - be advised that the WAH article is fairly sickening due to the content Reddit continue to allow.

Interesting- I haven't

TheRabbit - there's a very significant revelation in that UnHerd piece: "It was Challenor who spearheaded the deletion of some Gender Critical sub-reddits viewed as ‘anti-trans’, via an open letter to the company in 2020."

We all suspected that, but now it's been confirmed. Has anyone seen the open letter?

Increasing public affairs investment at the big tech companies.

Not casting any aspersions here whatsoever, but I did find it odd that Nick Clegg's first job after being Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was with Facebook.

Gosh yes, everywhere.

Given that many children who end up going through GIDS cite finding out about things via things like Reddit and tumblr, and also spend a huuuuge amount of time on there, it's a worry.

Those same individuals then spend their lives on the internet and in forums. And so it's a logical outcome to become a mod.

"Politicians" who've grown up like that know the influence they can have via SM platforms.
