Think they’re taking the piss? Feel free to use faculties to change for the march & free breakfast meanwhile loads of staff being made redundant or taking severance pay! Ridiculous

Commenting on is one thing. 50 people going over to threaten, abuse and post "what is a woman" over and over is another.

By "going over" I assume you mean to Instagram? Just checking because you're not always clear in what you mean.

So lots of people posted "what is a woman" on her Instagram? After she wrote her PUBLIC inflammatory comment on Instagram? Big deal.

I could post you to thousands of accounts and profiles that have been viciously attacked by TRAs. The rabbit rescue is just one recent one that springs to mind.

My irony meter is in overdrive here. Anyone else’s? Maybe it’s the heat.

Someone posted the PUBLIC Instagram profile of someone who had said PUBLICLY that she didn't want "bigots" in her shop. PUBLIC information is fair game for people to comment on

It was only about a week ago someone here posted the Instagram profile of a random shop owner who said she didn't want bigots in her shop?

So? Did anyone turn up to the shop with a sign saying she should be burned as a witch or beheaded? Was she hounded out of her livelihood by people in masks with flares? Was she physically assaulted?*

No. She got criticised online. Two very different things.

(*all of these things having been done by TRAs to gender critical women)

"Harassment and abuse" is making a personal choice not to patronise someone's shop now, is it?

Riiiight.....

That would be someone breaking the law, presumably.

Given the track record of posters on here who post about a person or event then go harass and abuse those people on social media/other websites or offline it's fair for anyone relevant to be given a tip-off of what to expect.

Show quote history

You're conflating two things - online criticism and offline abuse/harassment at events - but then given the amount of force-teaming that goes on with the TRA crowd I don't suppose I should be surprised.

Got any examples of people being abused at events via MN?

And what should the organisers "expect"? Some tutting and eye-rolling from passersby? Or is anything other than full fawning and active validation seen as "literal violence"?

You have robust evidence for this claim, I assume?

Edited to add: Actually I agree with you to a certain extent. If AidaP is to be believed, he did go and harass lesbians in real life after reading about it on here. So yes, you are correct in that respect.

I've let them know so they can prepare for any harassment.

Who's harassing them, Chris? No-one here gives half a shiny shit if they want to do some face painting with their brekkie before going for a march. Let them get on with it.

I hope you actually have let them know and linked them to all the evidence of planned harassment on this thread 🙄

I think "timewaster" would be the kindest word for it.

Exactly!

Chris: Loads of nasty mumsnet terfs are planning to harass you! Beware!!
NU: Where's your evidence?
Chris: It's this mumsnet thread
NU: Er....thanks...🙄

The fact that it seems to be aimed at 5 years olds on the other hand...

Indeed.

Don't be ridiculous. Nobody is proposing to harass them. You're doing yourself no favours with this nonsense.

roseyposey · 11/07/2025 10:46

The poster looks like an invitation to a nursery’s summer picnic, with crafts, poster making and face painting. Will there be a dressing up corner and some cuddly support toys too?

Is this incitement to harass a University?

What's that saying: every accusation is a confession.

They’ll be attending Northern Pride. Meet at the uni for breakfast, paint flags on faces, make banners and then attend local march. There’s something similar for hospital staff

Good grief! So is there a "Free Pride Breakfast" for NHS staff too?

I am old and out of touch, but face painting? Crafting? When I was a student in the early 1980s we were desperate to be seen as adults. Now it seems to be ther other way around.

That was my first thought too!

No it's a post on mumsnet.

Don't judge everyone by your own standards.
