Trans activists monitoring mumsnet

A particularly diligent trans identified male transactivist says there is a network monitoring “far right” activity on here.

which might explain why some
posters get suspended for saying things that some people find challenging to hear.

I’d like to keep hearing from TinselAngel. How do we protect her freedom of speech, expression, and you could probably argue association, from being limited by people who are known to harass women IRL?

Freda is pretty pathetic tbf, but that's mainly a Freda problem, even if they are busy trying to make it everyone else's

I do wonder what the proper response would be to a person who one has accidentally seen kink photos of that one dearly wishes one could unsee, when one then encounters that person on a parenting forum?

Thank-you Tinsel you spoke for many of us.

If said person has a penis then only praise is allowed. Women only exist to make penis happy, especially if said penis owner is abusing you.

Two things to add to this thread.

Firstly, Freda seems to have deleted the relevant tweet about having us under surveillance.

Secondly Freda has uploaded a short film onto X of a recent public event in which Freda was chanting "Fuck JK Rowling" into a microphone and encouraging audience participation in same.

I think that you gather your long skirts about you, cast your eyes to the heavens, compress your lips and pray for the strength to withstand this temptation to wrath.

If I wanted to do that though, I'd still be married.

I'm surprised than MN deletes posters for requesting that other posters eff off, esp when FOTTFSOFATFOSM is a set of initials that I learned from many undeleted posts on this every forum.

DH excitedly told me one day of this amazing abbreviation he had encountered that began - and was astounded when I was able to finish it off for him.

It wasn't what he had expected of MN, that's for sure.

Typo.

NB: This seems to be the recommended course of action for those who hope for the smell of roses (also notes of honey, butter, roses, violets, frankincense, myrrh, jasmine, and lilies) when they die followed by a swift acknowledgement of sainthood. I'm uncertain what the rest of us do.

I've just looked, my fuck Off (in bigly letters no less) to another poster still stands. However the post I was fuck offing to was deleted. So it's not a given that telling another poster to fuck Off will get you deleted.

TinselAngel · 09/09/2024 17:36

F off is quite genteel compared to some of the stuff I've been threatened with on social media and by email.

RufustheFactualReindeer · 09/09/2024 17:09

It is purple

and people are very quick to assume that if you are deleted its because you’ve been transphobic or made a personal attack etc

well some people are at any rate

PurpleSparkledPixie · 09/09/2024 16:34

Christinapple · 09/09/2024 15:43

I don't go around telling people to F off

So you say but considering it would have been deleted if you had there is no way any of us will ever know for sure.

Pity we can't trust people's words nowadays 😥

DeanElderberry · 09/09/2024 16:30

how very genteel of you

Yep, educating oneself doesn't always pan out as the issuer of the order had intended.

I found FWR through trans activists on twitter. I arrived with more of a live and let live attitude (despite awful personal experiences that I put down to me being unlucky as I didn't understand about paraphilias grouping then)

I was told to ‘educate myself’ so I did Grin

Same. I started off feeling confused about why people were so up in arms about trans ideology.

I educated myself, now I'm a TERF.

Oops. Sorry, tuff persons who may or may not identify as birth parents.

But feminists are quite happy to suggest other people hear and read the words of trans activists.

#OperationLetThemSpeak comes to mind.

And, back in the day, FWR considered sending refreshments along to support a meeting about "transphobia in the UK" aka, removing considerations about women and sex-based rights.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 09/09/2024 10:54

Isn't it? 'Transphobic' and 'terf' have lost their sting.

I agree. Practically everyone is "transphobic" by the definition of trans rights activists.

I rarely post on here, but read regularly.

Hope it helps you all to know that the reason I came here originally was one of your monitors ranting that I'd seen on the internet that my brain just couldn't make sense of.

Google led me to Mumsnet. And you all. And I'm very grateful to said ranting monitor.

I will be one of many.

That's a great point.

It was deeply misogynist reporting in the Guardian that brought me here.

It's funny how trans activists want to silence feminists, deplatform them and burn their words. But feminists are quite happy to suggest other people hear and read the words of trans activists.
