Do people with no hair usually carry hairspray incase others need it?

Seeing as though what I was reading went poof.

My post stating Dylan Murphy is a man has been deleted

It is quite blatant and certainly sinister to think that some Corporations or other entities are now deciding what can and can't be said.

Transnet not Mumsnet.

Good lord Mumsnet. My post, which consisted of ‘He’s a bloke’ repeated several times, has been deleted.

What the hell? Dylan Mulvaney decidedly is a bloke/man. There is nothing offensive about my words, except perhaps to this sad specimen who will try and convince us all that he’s a woman. We all know better. Ridiculous.

I've asked @MNHQ to explain why they are silencing women and censoring us but so far had no response! It appears women, even on MUMSnet are not allowed an opinion or to defend their opinions without being deleted. It's absolutely piss poor.

Anyone with sense and an ability to think critically knows this. However this will be deleted shortly.

The only time I had to ask for one (from a classmate, in a classroom) I was 14, only a few months into the whole thing, and not yet in a regular cycle. The very young would be the group most vulnerable to this (maybe the only group, older women will have learned strategies).

Why haven't Tampax advised Dylan that what is being done is potentially dangerous and should be stopped, preferably with a press release explaining why this is something that no-one should be tricked into accepting?

If Dylan had announced an intention to hang around offering sweets to strangers, or to hand drinks to them, would that have gone unchallenged too?

Most women only carry tampons/towels when you're on anyway. I've only ever got them in my bag at that time of the month I don't carry them all the time and have never been asked for one anyway so I don't know why Dylan feels the need to have them on him at all times 🤷

Well, I imagine he carries them to strap onto any bloody sports related injuries he might have because sure as shit he isn't going to bleeding from his vagina.

Just 1% of sports sponsorship goes to female athletes.....and then they choose DM ....who is neither biologically female or a professional athlete.....to model a sports bra (and kit) .

Of all the amazing and talented female athletes they could have chosen...they chose...none of them!

Thats shocking

Quite! And we aren’t allowed to express our displeasure that female athletes have lost out to this biologically male ‘girl’ parody.

Bunpea · 09/04/2023 17:44

He does it because he’s a weirdo…

On the other hand, he’s making a lot of money out of his trans behaviour e.g. recent sponsorship deal he has is one from Nike to promote their sports bras…which apparently fit him well…so of course they will fit biological women too 🤔), so perhaps he’s not weird, he’s just making a stash load of money and doesn’t care who he offends.
Frankly he makes me sick.

Perhaps Mumsnet could come onto the thread and tell us all why they are continuing to censor women? Why they feel that they need to police what subjects women find 'helpful', what Mumsnet feel about the absolute shit show that is women discussing their rights here on Mumsnet? Why can't they go further than deleting threads or comments or will they be complicit in the silencing of women? Please Mumsnet- tell us where us mere women with an opinion stand?

Yes MNHQ. Perhaps you can explain to the women on this thread why you felt it was necessary to cause such profound offence and upset. Your silence on this gives the impression that the feelings and rights of women seem to be less important to you than the wants of corporate sponsors and the baying mob who want us silenced . It absolutely breaks my heart to have to ask you that question because I assumed this was a safe space for women to have challenging discussions with other women about things that matter. This no longer feels like a place we can have those conversations.

I’m absolutely sick of people trying to compel my speech and make me lie. Everyone needs to start calling this ideology out. Not relevant to the thread, but my teenage DS went for an interview for a Saturday job last week and the first question they asked him was, “what are your pronouns?” FFS. This was a regular high street chain.

DeanVolecapeAKAelderberry · 09/04/2023 17:10

It would be dangerous if a woman (XX chromosomes) did it. The vagina is a vulnerable site - I had a friend who nearly died after forgetting to remove a tampon at the end of her period.

GreyfriarsBobbie · 09/04/2023 17:07

Dylan is a man.

The instinctive feeling that DM is very creepy about this isn't transphobia, it's a reaction to a dangerous pattern of behavior

well said.

CordyLines · 09/04/2023 17:06

This man is trolling, and making a fortune by doing it.

DM is laughing at those who believe he is a woman and at those who believe the caricature. He is not a woman he is a GURRLLL. All 365 days of girlhood.

That person is a man mocking women and possibly mocking the whole Trans movement too.

DeanVolecapeAKAelderberry · 09/04/2023 16:59

I've lost my sense of what is being said on which thread, but agree with whoever it was that raised the issue of potential contamination of a tampon offered by a 'helpful' stranger, woman, transwoman or anything else.

I suspect women's charyness about asking to borrow even from a trusted friend isn't so much around squeamishness or foolish reticence, but about the awareness that just as a clean tampon can kill from toxic shock if it isn't removed in good time, a tampon from an unknown source could introduce something not wanted into the body.

So - young girls need to know not to accept unsolicited loans (and why not to), to borrow a pad if possible if they do have to ask a friend, and all about loo-paper winding.

The instinctive feeling that DM is very creepy about this isn't transphobia, it's a reaction to a dangerous pattern of behavior.

ImSweetEnoughDarlin · 09/04/2023 16:21

I wouldn't ask a man for a tampon.

I wouldn't ask a woman for a tampon either.

I'd improvise until I could get to a shop.

Who are all these women hanging about in toilets asking for sanpro? I've never seen any Confused

I just got deleted for a post of one word only which was 'he' in response to a poster who called him 'she' throughout her post.

Truly fucking dystopian MNHQ.

I NEVER thought such heavy censorship would occur on a Women’s forum-
Where we can’t state that a person with a penis is a MALE.

It’s very worrying and deeply concerning.

It is

and the rules changing and words being allowed one day and banned the next was just a tiny bit of it, but had a big impact because you were never sure what would be deleted, women would be rightly outraged because interesting and erudite posts would be deleted for one word that was allowed on monday but not on Tuesday

plus that whole ‘not in the spirit thing’!!!
