Something like MN but not MN

[tiggeri]

I have really enjoyed being on MN but recently getting a bit fed up of some of it. Is there a similar forum? Not netmums!

It's the constant trans bashing and a sort of vibe of anti left that seems to be trickling through. Also I find that most people are middle class and wealthy, I'd like a forum that's a bit more diverse.

If you avoid the feminism threads its quite easy to avoid the trans hate.

Unfortunately it does mean you have to give up on discussing feminism though.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm afraid I agree with the poster talking about deletions. For me it's more about all the posts deleted rather than the threads.

I'm not sure how to hide topics on the app, which is how I use MN.

I am interested in feminism but I'm so bored of the trans stuff. I'm more concerned about violent and misogynist porn and DV than trans issues though.

I'm going to try Reddit, I have done before but found it hard to navigate. I will also look at the other suggestions too, thanks.

It sounds ok to me as well. As I already said upthread. MNHQ are quite quick to delete the threads which makes certain posters on the site seem a lot less transphobic.

But you're keeping them in your head.

Yes, because my trans loved one won't have the potential of seeing them there. Thanks for the story, truly inspirational and maybe one some of the FWR people should read with all their "this could happen" and "this happened one time in america", have you tried posting it there?

I'm not going to click, nor read, one of the infinite number of links that always end up on trans threads, I have looked at all sides, made up my mind based on looking at all sides, I tried to have a discussion and answer every question put to me on here once and asked a lot back myself. I answered every single question from multiple posters and was insulted for my troubles, funnily enough I didn't get answers to any of my questions, so I no longer do that.

Just wanted op to know that she isn't imagining things, plenty of us see these things too.

there isn't any trans hate, you're clearly reading with blinkers on is the problem looking for what you want to see.

Missing you already....

If you're concerned about violent porn and violence, I certainly wouldn't recommend Reddit (as detailed in my last post)

Difficult I have seen you answer endless questions on a thread. You were saying what a lot of others were thinking. I'm sorry that you've been unable to have a balanced chat about things, this is how I feel too.
I think there are plenty of lurkers who aren't brave enough to say anything that will upset the FWRs who jump on anything. It's almost like the FWRs have a WhatsApp group where they tell each other when to pile on to someone
I do wish they would keep it to one place and not pile on to people who ask for support about loved ones.

I'm sorry you didn't understand the story & felt the need to be snarky. I don't think there's any point in my engaging with you further.

I am longing for the day when someone starts TransNet so that anyone who is looking for a bunfight is interested in that topic can go off and post on there.

“The FWRs” ?

OP, all this time you’re on here you could be checking out other sites so you don’t have to carry on posting on this hot-bed of transphobia.

Sorry, got to go - WhatsApp coming through on my phone ...

Careful now- this post could be interpreted as being transphobic.

Oh I understood it perfectly. I'm just wondering why you felt it was relevant to me and my viewpoint and not relevant to all the catastrophising about things that haven't happened that goes on on FWR?

Nah - it was just something with which you are unfamiliar. It's called wit.

Sorry to miss the question asked and thanks to the poster who answered it. Suspect I cant say any more or I fall foul of the 'thread about a thread' thing. Which is strange when you see what apparently is allowed...

Well I read the Baddiel thread and let’s just keep it very understated and call it “ironic and disappointing”.

Justthetalk is the place you need

@RickiTarr very well put. I m quite worried about what will happen at the webchat.

Justthetalk is the place you need

I've had a look, I quite like that. Thank you

Is just the talk UK based?

Oh dear.

Ooh, it's just like MumsNet! The topics read like FWR.

Yes it is. Both GC and trans rights views are welcomed.

The trouble is OP you want a site that is more diverse and yet you don't want to hear about things you don't agree with. You can't really have it both ways and you're not going to find that anywhere on the internet.

I suggest you join a few groups that are set up around topics that you are interested in - sports, knitting, baking, whatever and chat with like minded people on those sites.

You won't get them all together in one place (which would give you the diversity you seek) without it leading to opposing views on many subjects (which you say you don't want).

It's not about opposing views. The feminist board is only taken up with threads about trans, there is no room for discussion about anything else. If anyone challenges the opinions they get a pile on. It's not balanced at all.
