Wishing her the very best of luck. twitter.com/MForstater/status/1402310977115279362?s=20

I'll be absolutely gutted if the original decision isn't overturned, but at least her case has let a lot of sunlight in.

No, I didn't say anything of the sort.

ScreamingMeMe · 14/06/2021 15:49

A spectre at the feast?

Cailleach1 · 14/06/2021 14:58

What did I say? I don't think I was rude. Some peeps don't like any allusion to reality that is not in line with with pravda patrol, I suspect.

A spectre?

Not so much, specially not since lockdown.

MrsBunHat · 14/06/2021 13:52

The whole of the Feminism board was like a spectre hanging over the daily trans discourse

Well I suppose if you obsess over anyone disagreeing with you or even discussing your claims, and find that an unbearable "spectre", that must be hard. But disagreement and debate are a feature of non-totalitarian life.

How does Joss think feminists, academics, politicians etc cope?

SoMuchForSummerLove · 14/06/2021 13:45

I think the daily trans discourse has proceeded along just fine, let's face it!

ScreamingMeMe · 14/06/2021 13:35

Also this:

" “When I started using Twitter and engaging in the trans sphere in mid-2017, Mumsnet was constantly referenced both on my timeline and in DMs,” says Joss Prior, a trans woman who is part of a sizable trans community that monitors and discusses Mumsnet regularly. “The whole of the Feminism board was like a spectre hanging over the daily trans discourse.” "

Oops, I got my moderators and monitors mixed up. Was thinking if Joss was a moderator then Joss should be hoofed off by MNHQ.

ScreamingMeMe · 14/06/2021 13:32

@JustcameoutGC

How do we know Joss is a monitor?
They post frequently about this board, woth screenshots or links from here, on their twitter account.
SoMuchForSummerLove · 14/06/2021 13:15

Totally! I did tell my boss anyway who was just like 'fuck those twats'. Thank god I had a sensible manager though.

ArabellaScott · 14/06/2021 13:10

@SoMuchForSummerLove

They did this to me once - kept tweeting my employer because I said people with vaginas are called women.

I was the social media manager so I just kept deleting their shite Grin

Pathetic. It's like children clyping.
ArabellaScott · 14/06/2021 13:08

And how is Joss planning to do that, then? Isn't that just a teensy bit stalkerish, threatening, harassing and abusive?

WarriorN · 14/06/2021 13:06

(In response to How do we know Joss is a monitor?)

WarriorN · 14/06/2021 13:05

Historic experiences Grin

Tibtom · 14/06/2021 13:05

Should we report black people to employers too in case they do x, y or z? Or might that be seen for what it is - racist harassment?

@WarriorN

That's a v dangerous line to tread.

That's anticipatory harassment.

To be fair to JP - that's next door to J Tayler's apprehension and judgment in Maya's first hearing.

And, yes - it reeks of Minority Report and there's a stench of abuse.

AfternoonToffee · 14/06/2021 12:54

It might work on Twitter Joss but it won't cut much mustard in the real world.

FannyCann · 14/06/2021 12:29

Identify? A little list to keep an eye on?
Pretty sure that's illegal whatever it relates to including activities not even related to protected characteristics.

What if they kept a list of people who take an annual skiing holiday with a view to monitoring injury related sick leave. Would that be legal?

Anyway protected beliefs are protected beliefs so I'm damn sure lists are not legal.

ScreamingMeMe · 14/06/2021 12:27

Joss is one of iur most ardent monitors, on Mumsnet and other platforms. For some reason MNHQ take them seriously, so I wouldn't be surprised if my posts about them go bye bye.

ScreamingMeMe · 14/06/2021 12:23

Joss Prior's latest schtick is that Gender Critical people should be reported to their employers, just in case we harrass trans people.

It's stunning how so many supposedly intelligent people have turned out to be jobsworths who will follow anything that's put in front of them.

I think it's more complex than that. Some are jobsworths, some are desperate to be virtuous, cool and open-minded, and a lot are not jobsworths but need to keep their job to support their family, and have had no choice but to pretend to go along with it.

I also think a lot of it is unconscious misogyny and feeling very comfortable with feminists being the new enemies who you are allowed to despise and bully.
