to ask for trans threads to stay in Feminism?

[yawning801]

Just that, really. This isn't meant to start a debate, or be goady in any way. I've just hidden the Feminism board to avoid the trans threads but they're seeping into AIBU (like this one I suppose ) and other places too and I'm trying to avoid them! Can we keep trans threads in Feminism please? TIA

Why? What have transgender issues got to do with feminism? What about people transforming from female to male? YABVU!

YABVU

AIBU is a high traffic area and the threads about this topic should not be hidden away in a quieter section of the forum.

Simple solution - don't open/read the threads.

The hate? Seriously?

Maybe we actually need a new board called ‘the beach’ where posters can bury their heads in the sane.

Ffs i need to put my glasses on. Sand. Sand.

I visit MN most days and have never even seen a trans thread. If I was you and wasn't interested in it, I wouldn't click on it. What's your problem?

YABU. This is an issue that women need to know about as it will affect us all. You keep sticking your fingers in your ears and going lalala if you want.

YABU

Bury their heads in the sane would be appropriate in some respects!

Why toomany?

Yabu. It has educated me in what I thought I knew and it is a crucial debate to have openly at this time.

I understand what you mean, but once you start reading about it you realise it is an important issue - especially if you are a Labour lover.

I also don't think people are spreading 'hate'.

I think they are highlighting extremely important issues.

This place is awful nowadays.

And we all just stay silent rather than stand up to the horrific man-hating shit. Cause staying silent is easier than getting involved.

Im embarrassed to be a mumsnetter. My dad asked me to the other day if i agreed with the mumsnet line on trans issues er no,. And for the record no, i don't think all men are only a single-sex cubicle away from raping "our daughters" and yes i think trans people are largely a vulnerable group who need protection and and support rather than being accused of faking it for sexual gratification and sporting success.

Well done you OP for sticking your head above the parapet.

We all need to follow your example a bit more.

But Mumsnet covers lots of subjects other than those directly related to children. Are you planning to stop threads about parking issues? Or maybe have a separate section for those?
I don’t agree with all the views on the threads but I do find it interesting to read and I probably wouldn’t go looking on the feminist board for it.

They're not genuine threads though are they. They're deliberate invitations to a bunch of radicalised cronies to peddle their hate to the captive audience of mumsnet in the hope of turning a couple more converts. Same old posters, same old conversations, over and over again.

wow PP way to dismiss the very real concerns of actual women

YABU

Nope.

I just hide threads I am not interested in reading. I personalise my mumsnet quite strictly!

If you don't think that sterilising children/encouraging them to lop bits off their bodies/telling young lesbians they must accept lady sick are parenting issues then you need to wake up.

People saying "If you don't like it don't click on it" are missing the point - which is that it's impossible to avoid some of the trans threads because there is no clue about what they are about from the title.

Although i am getting better at spotting them.

I must be stupid then! Haven't seen one!

I think a parking threads board would be amazing actually.

The feminists of mumsnet think we all need to be educate about the trans debate so will sneak it into every topic possible

The problem is that once you've been a member of mumsnet for all of 5 minutes you're fully aware of the debate and it just gets annoying opening a thread and realising it's exactly the same debate again. If anything it's probably turning people off the issue.
