It's only right!

@Blessedandstresseddd Basically because Mumsnet allows those discussions and doesn't moderate/shut them down in the way other sites do. So it looks like a high proportion of Mumsnetters have similar views on the issue - but that is not necessarily the case.

Done 🦖

Nominated her just now.
Thank you for sharing this.

Done.
Confirmed.

Not a troll, but am sometimes silly. That’s why I said ‘genuine question’ don’t worry about the misunderstanding

Unfortunately I don’t have the time to do all of the research being asked of me and I do have her blocked on Twitter, but her Twitter account would definitely be a good place to start! Sending lots of love to all the trans women on mumsnet who have to read all of this time and time again ❤️

Done 💛 her

As if she wasn't full enough of her own importance already. Where can we vote no thanks.

All of what?

So can't answer the how then? Surprised as always.

If you can't back something up, then don't say it

I follow JKR on Twitter, I've never seen any hateful comments from her. Not one.

But surely if you know she's said nasty and hateful things then you don't need to do any research. You must know what she said?
I've not seen anything nasty and hateful from her on twitter. But have seen plenty of vile comments directed at her.

Anyway. I agree with the PP who said we shouldn't allow the derailing.

JKR is a hero. I luffs her.

@Blessedandstresseddd

"She's a TERF"

"What did she actually say that was hateful?"

"I don't know, I haven't done any research"

facepalm...

Well there's a surprise 🤣

I follow her on twitter and have done for years. Never seen her write one hateful thing. Surely if she's ever so hateful, it will only take you seconds to show us what she said?

Well you can always nominate someone else if you’re so horrified. If you can actually be bothered.

As the parent of a trans man hell no.

If there's so much of it it wouldn't take you very long Blessed

For the record I do not have a problem with the Trans community or any other community. My difficulty is with ANYBODY who attempts to erase me and my rights as a WOMAN.
I dont give a flying fuck how anyone else lives their life as long as they do not impinge on my right to be me.. I am a woman.
And I WILL fight to be recognised as such as long as I have breath in my body.

She hasn't said anything hateful about the Trans Community has she? I thought she just started a biological fact ... is that hateful now?

Erm, that's not how nominating someone works. You pick a person, not vote against one.
