A growing number of MAP (minor attracted people) accounts are forming a network on Twitter. There is a push to normalise and legitimise being sexually attracted to children. The “guide” I have linked is chilling, as are the accounts with MAP tags - they often have AOA in their bio...their “age of attraction”. So AOA 6mnths-4 years is a sexual attraction to children of that age.

Twitter is a huge business, with enormous power - they could, if they chose, take a stand against this.

Did they specify the reason for your suspension? What is it exactly that you are meant to have done?

SmileEachDay · 07/01/2019 17:34

See attached. I’ve tried to edit so MN don’t feel the need to remove the post.

Hateful conduct. The irony!!

So a man posting a dildo in a chatroom full of teenage girls is fine, but telling other people about it is hateful?

SmileEachDay · 07/01/2019 17:43

I know. It’s pretty terrifying how quickly accounts are taken down when they’re about him - a man with a fetish for young girls.

A man where a tribunal has decided In these circumstances, I am satisfied that it is better to err on the side of caution in protecting a transgender person who asserts that the publication of their name in association with a complaint may expose them to harm.

Datun · 07/01/2019 18:31

a man with a fetish for young girls.

10-year-old girls, to be specific.

Graham Linehan has tweeted that someone just wrote he and then this person's name and they've been banned. Despite the fact that this person often uses male pronouns.

SmileEachDay · 07/01/2019 19:30

Oh god, another one?

I know a few woman and one transwomen who have gone in the last few days.

My mum used to have a comment about ‘the company you keep’.

If you can't see the difference between men with gender dysphoria, and predators leveraging men with gender dysphoria, then I can't help you.

Are you saying it's impossible to be both?

Datun · 07/01/2019 22:39

Are you saying it's impossible to be both?

No. You can be both.

For anyone not understanding the issue.

This document is not about transgender issues. It is about an abuser who uses trans issues to protect himself from criticism. Wearing the guise of a marginalized person, Jonathan has sued 16 different beauticians for refusing to wax his penis and testicles.[1] Since then, he has been uncovered by dozens of women as being a sex pest interested in developing girls.

Everyone, men and women, trans and cis, who have criticized Yaniv have been subjected to strict censorship, threats of litigation, and deplatforming by YouTube, Twitter, and private web hosts. This includes well-known transgender feminists like Miranda Yardley.[2]

have no idea what you're talking about Datun and frankly I don't care.

That's crystal clear. You clearly don't have any idea about any of it, do you?

You can bury your head in the sand, other people will get off their arses and challenge this shit.

Ereshkigal · 08/01/2019 00:23

Are you saying it's impossible to be both?

It's fairly obviously possible, given that there are examples of such people.

Ereshkigal · 08/01/2019 00:26

I'm not convinced of the relevance of trans issues to this thread in the first place, other than as the main frame of reference for a depressing number of mumsnet users in much the same intellectually lazy / obsessive way others view everything through the prism of Brexit or Thatcher or immigration or whatever.

Yes, I can tell you're clearly very well informed on the issue in question Hmm

Ereshkigal · 08/01/2019 00:28

This is absolutely not reflected among the (many) left leaning feminists I know, so I'm not content to extrapolate too much from the philosophies of this particular echo chamber.

You're happy to listen to the philosophies of your own echo chamber instead. That's nice.

GlitterStick · 08/01/2019 00:52

My word, the sheer IRONY of the echo chamber comment.

Ereshkigal · 08/01/2019 00:53

No, it was me pointing out his irony. Do keep up.

Ereshkigal · 08/01/2019 00:53

His/her whatever.

GlitterStick · 08/01/2019 00:58

Erm, no lol. "You're happy to listen to the philosophies of your own echo chamber"

Me - good grief, the IRONY coming from you.
How the fuck can you not see it even when pointed out?! Grin

SmileEachDay · 08/01/2019 08:12

What do you think Twitter should do about the influx of paedophile accounts into Twitter? What should they do about high profile men with extreme fetishes for young girls? Should they suspend women who are raiding awareness?

Yes, the poster before had already made your point for you, and referenced the MN "echo chamber". The irony in referring to echo chambers (given that they then quoted the views of their own circle of friends as the reason they didn't listen to MN feminists) was therefore on their side, not mine. Your comment was therefore repeating what they had already said and completely redundant.

Was it Obtuse Hour last night or something?

Helendee · 08/01/2019 08:56

Stop calling them MAPS or any other ridiculous acronym, they are paedophiles!

Ereshkigal · 08/01/2019 08:58

I agree. MAP is a term that should never be used. It's an attempt to normalise.
