Who are these people and why are they hating on us? Can't they cancel the cheque already?

I don't know about TRAs but what I have learnt in life is men don't like women who say 'no'.

BertrandRussell · 12/09/2018 16:03

What Shroedinger said.....

YeTalkShiteHen · 12/09/2018 16:04

ShrodingersSturdyPyjamas has it spot on.

SuburbanRhonda · 12/09/2018 16:04

Do we care?

ballsballsballs · 12/09/2018 16:04

Because women talking among themselves is dangerous.

YeTalkShiteHen · 12/09/2018 16:06

Do we care?

As long as they’re being heard over us, sadly, yes I do care. Very much.

I wish I didn’t, and I wish they weren’t, but it’s what’s happening.

Sleepyslops · 12/09/2018 16:07

I just feel sorry for Captain Birdseye. The Feminists said the TRAs don't like him anymore.

So why do some of them want to be women?

Sleepyslops · 12/09/2018 16:08

Shrodinger, I think you're right there. I even find myself having to justify no which isn't right - No is No

Single - I'm not sure... men are allowed to join mumsnet, so it can't be that.

I meant do we care if they hate MN. I don’t.

But like you, I do care if they’re silencing women.

YeTalkShiteHen · 12/09/2018 16:19

SuburbanRhonda that’s what I get for cooking and MNetting at the same time Blush sorry!

I couldn’t give a shiny shite if they hate MN. I do worry that their view of us is shared by others in a position of power though, and that can’t be good.

Bellyscreen · 12/09/2018 16:20

What are TRAs?

ShrodingersSturdyPyjamas · 12/09/2018 16:22

They didn't bother with MN or BirdsEye all the while they thought we were just talking about pushchairs and what tea to cook.

Soon as they think we are talking about serious stuff that they don't want us discussing, it's harass the advertisers to get MN shut down.

ButchyRestingFace · 12/09/2018 16:23

They hate women generally because they want to be us but know they never can.

TerfsUp · 12/09/2018 16:23

*I couldn’t give a shiny shite if they hate MN.

Agreed.

BarbaraofSevillle · 12/09/2018 16:30

Because we're not afraid to say that men and women are defined by their sex and chromosomes and it has nothing to do with clothes, make up, interests or feelings.

fanfan18 · 12/09/2018 16:30

Telecommunications Regulatory Authority?!

wijjy · 12/09/2018 16:31

The facebook hate list of Natacha Kennedy (reported in the Times) was all women.

TRA hate women.

araiwa · 12/09/2018 16:39

Even a tiny look at it would make it clear. You cant work it out?

SnuggyBuggy · 12/09/2018 16:44

I assume it's because we don't just passively go along with their bullshit

Abrewfromabridge · 12/09/2018 16:56

Trans Rights Activists... Sigh.

I used to work with young people who experienced gender dysphoria and some of whom identified as NGB or trans. They had a saying when they were feeling particularly low, had self harmed or attempted suicide: "I spent the night looking at Mumsnet." Everything you write is read by vulnerable teens, which is part of the reason TRAs oppose some people on MN.

Your question is disingenuous at best.

FesteringCarbuncle · 12/09/2018 17:00

Abrewfromabridge
That's fantastic. I hope you share your research
It means the cure for gender dysphoria is cheap and easy. Just stop reading MN
I wonder if we can cure cancer too🤔

BabySharkDoododoo · 12/09/2018 17:01

Male people (of which majority TRAs are) do not tend to like it when female people say no to them and their bullshit.

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 12/09/2018 17:03

I hope confused teens do look at MN, and learn that their changing bodies are normal, and don’t need alteration, and that TRAs might have quite a different agenda to that which is openly stated on their own sites.
