Just sharing a screenshot of this AIBU poll

You can add my vote to the 98%.

From the comments, there seems to be a few posters who are starting to look at this board in a more positive way and are interested in finding out more.

It also must have been blindingly obvious to anyone new to the conversation, or lurkers, or wavering, the difference in the calibre of the arguments. On the one side, considered reasoned discussion with links, evidence and research. On the other, 'you meanies! You're just bigots'.

I'm sure MNHQ must have been under relentless pressure to move that thread out of AIBU so fair play to them (if you'll excuse the pun) for resisting.

A 'lesbian' (who seems to draw out the 'inner lesbian' in heterosexual women) member of Stonewall's Trans Advisory Committee has already generously 'widened the bandwidth of how to be a woman' by accentuating their masculine features.

(That's the same Trans Advisory Committee from which another member invited women to 'suck my formaldehyde pickled balls'...and that 'advises' many of our employers).

I’m glad that thread has stayed in AIBU, and why shouldn’t it, as it is actually an AIBU.

Funnily enough I’ve noticed that MN are happy to leave threads in AIBU that don’t have an AIBU in them, they don’t get moved over to chat or parenting or weaning or whatever the relevant topic.

Just the sex and gender threads that get moved about.

A couple of posters on that thread insinuated that the voting must be broken as, no matter how much the number of votes went up, the percentages stayed the same. One even tagged MNHQ to ask for the tally of votes by numbers.

Some people REALLY don’t like this subject being given a wider audience. Typical that first reply on that thread was along the lines of “go away and post in your own area”.

For me, the best thing about that thread was the tone, language and non-arguments that were used by a few people. Really highlighted how little they bring to the discussion.

I’m amazed, but very glad, that the thread has remained in AIBU.

Before they’re moved, most of these polls show that the vast majority of women on Mumsnet are gender critical. Presumably that’s one of the reasons Mumsnet are pressured so heavily into moving them here.

Wow, it didn't really need illustrating did it but that picture says all that needs to be said.

Men do not belong in women's sports. 'Feelings' are not an equation in this matter.

I do hope the BBC sees that screenshot op. They might want to consider where they should be on this subject given that they appear to have a very one sided view on the matter.

I pointed out in a survey (run by the BBC) that it is not the duty of a public service broadcaster to lead opinion. It is their duty to reflect the majority opinion. They are clearly not anywhere near

Well done saving the screenshot OP.

Incidentally the new mixed relays are providing a marvellous illustration of why it is unfair to have men competing in women's sport. Imagine if either of these illustrious male swimmers decided they were female!

Yes, I've just seen that, and that is a staggering result along with the comments. Made me feel quite light headed
