"We" can always tell

Except when "we" can't:

Note the weasel words of the thread don't actually apologise for allowing terrible people to decide the victim wasn't female because she wasn't sufficiently meeting a stereotypical view of how women should look in their bigoted opinions. The fault for behaving in a bigoted fashion is only that of the bigots and no-one else.

No, you're right there, it's a cesspool. So apologies, they followed you, you tweeted something misogynistic and they blocked you, you didn't follow them. Sounds fair to me.

No then I realised they were bigots AFTER they blocked me for a single tweet. You can't unfollow an account that's blocked you. I guess you're not on twitter...

They can do what they like. Follow who they like. Block who they like. Not that it's really relevant to this thread. What was your point again?

You're far too invested on this thread. Take care.

She did. Then realised they were talking sense and unfollowed them.

I really don't understand this trend of coming over to Mumsnet to berate us for something other people said on X/twitter. What is the purpose of it?

Also, the thread topic doesn't make sense. We can always tell in real life that a man is pretending to be a woman. That's not the same as what the thread topic is trying to imply.

Because I didn't know they existed until they followed me.

Do you think it's possible that you spend too much time worrying about what other women do online? Could that be a possibility?

Well, apart from the ones who had never mentioned feminism, followed every abusive man on twitter and then suddenly renamed themselves as feminists.

Are you always this nasty to women?

Show quote history

What? It is a cool story. Nasty would be something like giving away other women's consent in relation to single-sex spaces. That would be proper mean.

That brings back memories. I was one of the first accounts on twitter that FWS folllowed. They liked and retweeted me daily until I publicly tweeted that I was a transallyscot. Then they blocked me.

Such tolerance.

Just to note that every other Scottish feminist still followed me, liked, retweeted me etc. Whether they agreed with that part of my feminism or not.
