I've never seen a board I agree with so much, but I am from texas. I love this board!! Does anyone here frequent other huge rad feminist/ gender critical boards? How is it possible your board seems so devoid of male trolling?

@RickiTarr

I've not engaged with you before, but your welcome seems odd.

Right. Delightful of you to share that. Confused

It might be a misunderstanding. I'm often wrong. Smile

Rickietarr-- I'm not here much, but you seem very active on this thread. Do you live in Texas?

@RickiTarr

It articulates the GC case almost suspiciously well doesn’t it? Plus it signposts sympathisers here, despite the slur word and patina of “TWAW” wokery. Mumsnet HQ will appreciate the extra traffic, too.

I think partly keeping our cover as parenting fluff and half sending up flares for women like you is a perfect state of affairs. Smile

Yes that is the article. I heard about mumsnet before but when i first encountered it i thought it was a mostly board for parents.

Lux not Lix. My autocorrect is trying to start a blood feud with me. 😠

@Parakeetkeet

Why yes it was. Dont ever stop what you're doing. 🤣
I can’t tell if you’re answering me about Lix or not. Grin

It was a doozie, though, so I’ll link it in case anyone is interested. Smile

Anyway, OP, I know Texas is huge and I have no idea how we could meet up, but maybe there's a way?

@persistentwoman

Welcome Parakeetkeet Can't wait to visit my dear friends in Texas again once this pandemic is over. Sadly my friends tell me that discussing these issues is hard in the USA - there's always someone popping up misrepresenting women as right wing bigots. At last on here a quick read of threads proves that not to be the case.
You visited before? What part?? I read about your gender critical movement there in the UK and was stunned. Thats how I found mumsnet. Your board is amazing !! I do believe we had something similar and great on reddit, but gender critical was banned, pinkpill was banned. And I feel homeless now. 😭

Reddit sucks. It turns out one of the main admins who'd been working there was trans, and silent about an abusive pedo father, who kept a sexually abused child in their attic. This trans woman was actually very politically active on the left. Its unbelievable. The whole reason no one questioned her was BECAUSE she was trans.

Fuck reddit. They since took the trans flag header down from trollxchromosomes and replaced it with tin foil. It was a space deliberately made for women, and yet we had to suffer their insufferable banner. I'm just so done with reddit.

@WarriorN

There's also spinster xyz and another one but I don't find the layout as easily accessible.
I have been on those too but I dont like the layouts as much. If you cant see all the threads in one place to respond to how do you have conversation and reach everyone at the same time.. I tried ovarit and said it but activity was minimal. I went to crystal cafe but it doesnt feel the same as a forum or reddit to me. I got on reddit a lot but then I was banned for questioning mastectomies allowed on teens. That this happened was absolutely mind blowing to me!! Confused

God, six sexes would be way too complicated.

BrandineDelRoy · 27/04/2021 00:28

@334bu

^^I think he thinks karyotypes are individual sexes.**

I wonder if he knows which ones make the babies? Maybe he thinks there's a karotype stork that does all the work. Whatever he believes, it's pretty obvious that he is, as my old mother would say, a complete numpty.

Yeah. Even if there are six, there is still going to be one sex doing 99% of the reproductive labor for humanity.

Men I think tend to think it's just mummies nattering and leave us to it

There are as an incident on MN years ago in which a thread and some PMs led a MNer to request a police welfare check for another MNer (a stranger). The police apparently wrote it up as being to do with a “website where women share recipes and chat”. Grin

@334bu

Texas Democratic legislator who thinks there are 6 sexes, was educated at Harvard. If I were him I would be asking for my money back!

Jennifer Pritzker( billionaire transwomen) and her family supported Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

I see there have been references to the American political system. I find US politics doesn't map over to the UK, because of the social differences between the two countries.

But anyway, skipping over all that, isn't Caitlin Jenner planning to run for governor of California for the Republican party? Confused
