The whole active thread list is always taken up by tons of trans bashing threads. How is it acceptable? Anything relating to anyone transgender is bashed. If this was against another minority of people, race, sexuality, religion it would be taken down and reported as hate crime. I don’t understand how the feminism board makes it acceptable?

Cats are always jerks, that's why they shouldn't be allowed on social media.

Couldn't see the picture that you posted but seeing the transcript from other posters on here, what was said to you is disgusting.

I don't understand why people can't have a reasonable debate on this issue, and that is to both sides? What is it about this subject that appears to bring out the worst in people?

SmileEachDay · 16/11/2018 21:54

That is true Rat

I think cats probably run Reddit.

No, it wouldn't.

& it isn't - which you'd know if you were here regularly. So clearly, you are not.

Is it cherry pick Friday? 🙄

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/11/2018 21:56

Its not a talking cat

Its a typing cat

Like those monkeys typing shakespear

SmileEachDay · 16/11/2018 21:56

Weet I think it’s because everyone involved has a personal stake in it.

And a lot of people are twats.

Or they’re cats.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/11/2018 21:56

How the fuck did i misspell shakespeare

Though to be fair he misspelled it all the time as well

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 16/11/2018 21:57

Tediously linking this subjects to eBay I found out today you can get leads for cats ...

And more bizzarely rabbits, why would you need to walk a rabbit?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/11/2018 21:57

Is everyone agreeing on something??

QUICK...END THE THREAD!!!

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/11/2018 21:58

captain

Siamese cats can be trained to walk on a lead and rabbits can be housetrained and walked

Though i agree you'd think they would get enough exercise bouncing

FloralBunting · 16/11/2018 21:59

Weetabix, that is a good question to ask. I think most of the most passionate voices from any of the positions are coming at it from an existential point of view. The transactivist line is that the GC position 'Denies their existence' etc, and GC women see the coercive use of language as erasure too. I'm coming at it as a parent who deals with threats to my family, and I also have a huge issue with the idea that lesbians aren't allowed to be lesbians for reasins I won't go into.

So everyone is very, very invested and that can sometimes bring out the worst, which is why it is so important to have the conversation which is all a lot of us have been saying for ages in the face of #NoDebate.

SmileEachDay · 16/11/2018 21:59

How do you walk a cat? You’d need to be Spider-Man

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/11/2018 21:59

My friend had a giant rabbit

It used to shit be up when it hopped part her conservatory doors

Something that big shouldnt hop in my opinion

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/11/2018 22:00

Shit me up...

SmileEachDay · 16/11/2018 22:01

In my head it’s as big as a cow, Rufus, Please say it is.

PerverseConverse · 16/11/2018 22:02

@SmileEachDay I read that as "how do you wank a cat?" 🙈 Time for sleep I think Blush

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 16/11/2018 22:03

There was a horror movie about big rabbit attacking a town.

SmileEachDay · 16/11/2018 22:03

Ewww PERVERSE!!!!

FloralBunting · 16/11/2018 22:04

Now I'm humming The Wonderstuff.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/11/2018 22:04

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 16/11/2018 22:05

Whats up doc

To think mumsnet is full of hate crime?
BigChocFrenzy · 16/11/2018 22:06

To answer the OP:

Obviously not "hate crime" because it is not against the law to say that transwomen are men - biological fact -

and it is not against the law to say we wish to retain single sex spaces.

Personally, I use preferred pronouns
and I think the old "honour system" for single sex spaces worked well for transwomen with a dysmorphic disorder

A transwoman like wrexhamtrans just wants to quietly get on with her life, rather than taking pleasure from breaking boundaries and beating feminists

I hope that the aggressive TRA movement and their push for self-ID dies out, so we can return to the old system of quiet mutual respect & tolerance.

atm, the TRAs have poisoned the atmosphere and hardened attitudes
and trying to ban debate is a major reason for the bitterness many GC feminists feel

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 16/11/2018 22:07

how do you wank a cat?
There is a pussy joke in this somewhere, but I'm certainly above making it.

FloralBunting · 16/11/2018 22:07

Now you can all hum along too.

VerbeenaBeeks · 16/11/2018 22:07

From the picture it appears to have been posted by a talking cat

A Twitter post? Sounds about right. People from both sides tend to hide either behind eggs and false names or pictures of kittens or anime.
