Sheffield Party Of Women candidate threatened with arrest for leaflets

If tr**n was to be added to official dictionaries it would be listed as a derogatory slur. Which btw, cis and cisgender are not.

For anyone wondering, there is a definition given by Hatepedia here:

https://hatepedia.ca/guide/explicit/troon

Hatepedia describes itself as "Hatepedia is an online database and resource centre built with original research to provide educators, parents, lawmakers, and researchers with tools to identify and counter the proliferation of online hate made possible by the Government of Canada"

An earlier post suggested criticising a Green candidate was homophobic because she was gay.

Put Dunoon and Portree on there while you’re at it. No debate I say.

I don't see where the homophobia accusations in this thread apply. What has happened that is homophobic?

Ah well let’s get Troon added to the dictionary along with cis, terf and queer. All equally offensive terms eh?

how do you know LGB people don’t use the word Troon? Or the TQ+whatever?

Proponents of gender ideology believe a biological man who is attracted to women can be a lesbian.

And therefore lesbians should include him in their dating pool.

Hence lesbian only spaces are shutting down and going underground to avoid 'lesbians with penises'. And groups like 'get the L out' being formed.

See also 'the cotton ceiling'. (Training on how men can 'break through' lesbians' knickers.)

And the ex head of stonewall claiming lesbians who don't accept men as lesbians are akin to 'sexual racists.'

Seriously if KJK said something homophobic I’d really like to know what that is. If someone can tell me what it is she actually said, that would be helpful.

Ofocurse cis is offensive to women who have a scientific, materialist definition of sex rather than a bunch of stereotypes as a guide as to whether they are a woman or not. I don’t need to identify as a woman I AM a woman. Cis assumes I sign up to gender ideology which is inherently misogynistic. I get why a man can’t understand that though.

Well God forbid that a woman speaks in a 'tone' that isn't pre-approved by a male. How dare she.

Struggling to see how that leaflet would fall into the definition of a 'malicious communication'. It contains factual information with very little that could be deemed commentary, other than perhaps the use of 'nonsensical' which I guess implies a value judgement (though is also truthful).

And on mumsnet, you’re asked not to use cis/cisgender as it’s considered a slur by many, many people on here.

But they’re not the people who are currently the history-writing victors, as someone once said 🤣

It’s no use trying to make us be nice, you know. That ship did a Vasa 🤣🤣🤣

NO. Colour me shocked.

Troon is pretty run down these days actually.

That’s not in the dictionary definition though.

I thought it was a Kiwi Farms thing. They are a bunch of basement dwelling neck beards so not sure why anyone would be picking up their lingo

I don't understand where the homophobia accusation is coming from. I hadn't heard the word troon before and the definition I've just found said it's a term used about 'trans' people.

Homophobia is prejudice against LGB people ie anyone who is same sex attracted. If a biological male (whether or not he believes he is female) is attracted to another biological man (whether or not he believes he is female) and encounters prejudice because of the same sex attraction, then that is homophobia. Is that is what is being talked about here? I'm a bit baffled.

Oh for goodness sake. Is this the latest version of "if you can't define women you can't have womens rights"?

Even a tiny moment of critical thought might help you see that it's entirely possible to recognise a gay bashing (for example) as homophobic, yet also believe TMAM.

Stupid comment.

There are multiple threads on here discussing cisgender and the prefix cis. Both are listed in dictionaries with definitions, no dictionary describes them as a slur. Look them up.

Tr**n in the context Louise McDonald uses is is not listed in any official dictionary. Its definition can be found in slang/urban dictionaries which describe them as offensive slurs. It is only used in an offensive manner and it not used by LGBT people. Forums such as reddit and Facebook which do not tolerate homophobia or transphobia will issue bans for its use.

I've seen JK Rowling use "TERF" as well as advertise merchandise with "TERF" on it so I would presume that means it's not offensive?

Mic drop moment!

@TheCultureHusks lovely beach Troon. Used to go when I had two dogs. They used to run about mad .

There is that too.

It's also a little tricky to complain about homophobia when you don't believe in homosexuality.

You can’t campaign about candidates because you don’t like what they say. Even if you are a man

See also terf and cis. Slurs to me.

There's an affluent little costal town in the West of Scotland with that name, yes I'm aware.

But words can have different meanings can't they?

I saw this woman speak at LWS Norwich - great speech, very feisty 💪
Has the word troon not been reclaimed like queer apparently has then? 😁

And he hangs up! 😄

<wags tail excitedly, back legs tremble!>

Troon is quite a nice town. Culzean Castle is worth a visit.

<gloves off>

KJK "I don't care". 😂😍
