Do "GC"s never, ever wonder whether they might be the baddies? Or even uncomfortably close to them?

Oh hang on

People felt hurt and abused at the word woman and mother being misused and eliminated

And saying so triggers someone

What's sauce for the goose is clearly not sauce for the gander

Not me, guv.

Hmmm believing that humans are sexually dimorphic and that gender is a construct of regressive stereotypes designed to keep one sex in a hierarchy above the other?

Yes, I'm sure from some people's perspective we are the baddies. In much the same was that we're also likely to be on the "wrong side of history" for so long as history is written by a certain class of person.

Since I don't know what the abuse is and who is giving it , how can I respond ?

Abused and threatened in what sense? In a "nailing dead rats to the door of a rape crisis centre" sort of sense, or in a "having different political opinions on Twitter" sort of sense? Because so far I've only seen genderist abusing and threatening people and businesses in the sense most people use those words. And given that to a lot of genderists any form of disagreement = "literal violence" I'm going to take the description "abuse and threaten" with a fairly large grain of salt until I get more details.

BTW when TRAs were physically assaulting feminists, nailing dead rats to rape crisis centre doors, hanging effigies of GC politicians, threatening to rape and kill JKR, tweeting pictures of porn on threads for childrens etc etc, did you ever stop to ask yourself whether you might be the baddies?

I'm sure you havens tons of evidence of this abuse. Screenshots, links etc. I can't wait to see them.

I think people are quite well aware that abusing people or organisations and threatening them is bad. No one here is doing that, unless you know otherwise? Everyone here would no doubt utterly condemn anyone who is abusive and threatening towards anyone else.

funeralq · 14/07/2021 10:28

Could you post examples of the abuse please?

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 14/07/2021 10:28

Examples of abuse and threats please?

Do you? All I see here is more mudslinging and denunciations.

Unless just merely disagreeing with someone is now abusive.

There does seem to be an element of this coming through most social media. When reading dissenting view points is deemed as unsafe, there seems to be a very low bar set.

Helleofabore · 14/07/2021 10:26

Not sure what the point of your thread is. Is there a link? A tweet? An article?

Or just a random opportunity to shame people discussing the conflicts on the rights of women and children by other groups?

You could have posted a link. Or at least described what is meant by “abuse.” I’ve noticed a remarkable double standard on this whereby disagreement is classified as abuse if it comes from a GC person, while threats of violence and rape are discounted as just hilarious jokes if they come from TRAs. (Actually, everyone’s noticed that. If someone’s got the graphic comparing JK Rowling post to the responses to it, that might be handy.)

That said, if the charity are being abused and threatened as you say, then the people doing that are “baddies” and they are not on my side.

MaverickDanger · 14/07/2021 10:25

They must be receiving all the abuse via private channels, as I’ve seen nothing on their public social media that would be classed as abusive.

Unless just merely disagreeing with someone is now abusive.

Cismyfatarse · 14/07/2021 10:22

I abhor all abuse.

I still believe that sex is immutable and want to fight to maintain single sex spaces.
