To ask how to hide a topic

[LEMtheoriginal]

How can i hide a topic? I kniw how to hide threads but would like tohide a topic?

Thanks

One can so easily fall down a rabbit hole and wake up somewhere very dark indeed

That's exactly it- luckily the more I looked I had a WTF moment as it's a dark path of hate some are down and I'm not OK with that.

Very well said, Rat.

Its so nice to be reminded that there are other, more liberal views floating around on here. I sometimes feel worried for lovely trans friends, that perhaps people are becoming more and more intolerant. But actually, FWR type vitorol seems to be in the minority tears of joy

'dark path of hate'

I like that phrase. It's so descriptive and accurate.

It is hard if you have an unpopular minority view but does not equal some kind of groupthink mob attack. Maybe your opinion is just some kind of outlier.

This is patronising and a form of gaslighting. We are not misunderstanding our own experiences.

When I speak up in support of transgendered people and I’m called a handmaiden and told I must be thick, delusional or both, the issue isn’t that I have an ‘unpopular minority view’ or that I can’t handle being disagreed with. It’s that to a large number of MN posters, if you don’t share their view on transgenderism you aren’t worthy of respect and it suddenly fair game to use misogynistic and ableist slurs.

...and it's the pied piper of "logic" who leads them there.

When I first started reading FWR I had to remind myself to look up for a minute from where the path I was following and see if it was taking me somewhere I was happy to go. It wasn't. That's how I know the reasoning behind it is wrong.

Sometimes something seems logical and reasonable when you follow it piecemeal, and it takes stepping back to see that the end result is not logical or reasonable. The should be the clue that there's something wrong with your reasoning.

God I was getting so down about all this lately. This has perked me right up.

This thread has been very restorative to me 😌 and has restored some of my faith and enjoyment in MN.

Same, starting not to despair of humanity as much and realise that there's still hope out there lol
Have actually been thinking about trying to wean myself off MN but this thread is restoring my faith

Wow! That escalated.

Can i just say a few things

I just wanted to delete the topic because it doesnt interest me and there are ALOT of threads on it.

Ive only really encountered trans on here and i dont have enough understanding to comment.

I said i come to mnet to get MH support and read trivial AIBU threads. Oh and i love a property porn thread!

I don't feel piled upon. My mh is not good just now but its not to do with fem issues in any way.

I havent hidden other topics as they are not taking over my active threads.

Sorry for detailing your thread

Dark path of hate

That really has made me giggle. So it's lifted my spirits too, thanks.

*derailing

Nopeni - it's easy to see where you're on it, then.

Some have ventured further down than others.

No really

You should write the next Star Wars.

(Although to be honest that couldn't get much worse.)

Oh thank god. I started the same post in chat 2 days ago and got no response on how to do it so thought it wasn’t possible.

And yes, I’ve no interest in engaging with the feminism board anymore on here. (Though remain a devoted feminist).

Sounds like 3rd wave or liberal feminists or whatever you call yourselves bneed your own heading to discuss what interests you free from trans threads.

Auntbessie you havent at all. X

Is it the dark path of hate that leads to the radicalisation portal?

Past the Guardians Of Righteous Feminism...

...over the bridge of trolls...

Through the veil of shadows

😂😂😂

I hope you get the support and chat that you want from MNet LEM. Your thread has been really helpful to those who want to know how to hide topics. Being kind to yourself is the best thing you can do right now.

This thread has made me feel a lot better about Mumsnet in general. I was hoping that the liberal feminists were, like me, choosing to no longer engage in toxic and fruitless debate with people whose minds will never be changed, and that there were more of us out there. Phew.

I think most people have some concerns about self-ID. But it doesn’t justify the poison levelled at the entire trans community. As a community, Trans people have some of the highest rates of poor mental health, of suicide, of domestic violence and of STDs. It is not a journey someone takes lightly, to get their jollies by popping into the ladies’ loos in M&S.

I find that blanket attitude that all trans people are doing it purely to ebb away at women’s spaces ignorant and distasteful.
