Aibu to point out that 'Mumsnet' is currently trending on Twitter/X because a labour MP has (rather comically) reported it to the police?

Dawn Butler has reported Mumsnet as a whole to the police, for talking to each other and Having Views she does not like.
Mumsnet is currently trending on Twitter.
What rebels we are, having views.

Remember when she continually used the words of 'Something inside so Strong' repeatedly as her hustings speech.

She also did that Greatest Showman song as a spoken word poem at a trans conference a fearless Mumsnet warrior woman sneaked into.

@AcrossthePond55 The US embassy is Hanover Square isn't it? V central, nice location. Handy for last minute Xmas shopping.

You could disguise yourself as a gay giraffe in order to avoid attention when popping out.

Central to shopping? Wonderful!! Since I look terrible in orange I'll need a smart new outfit to wear to court. Although I'm sure I'll be lost in the crowd of my co-defendants.

Let's see.....there's the West Memphis Three, the Chicago Seven, and the Black Panther Twenty-one. Based on an estimate of MN members posted up thread, I suppose that makes us the Mumsnet Millions. My, it's going to be a crowded courtroom!!

PS thanks for the disguise suggestion. I'll be searching Amazon for a giraffe suit with a fedora to pull low, a scarf to wrap high, and sunglasses to cover the rest of my face.

Saddened to leave behind the frozen turkey - unpeeled spuds and year's supply of washing-up.

Keen to find out how to make a gigantic salad that will sustain an army... to meet fearless sticker-bombers.

Have prepared ginger-wine and mead (Could we smuggle it in by consuming it first?)

Will bake cakes containing files - in case we need to escape or perfect our nails.

Is there a biology mantra we can hang onto to prevent unsexing via brain-washing?

It occurs to me that they may not be able to arrest us since none of us answer the door to strangers.

This wonderful. I haven't been to the UK for years. If I msg my address in Australia to the metpolice will they pick me up and fly me over for free. Woohoo. Bringing Timtams

nocoolnamesleft · 21/12/2023 22:38

Babies are born without a sex? You're kidding, surely? No one could be that daft. (CoI 25 years of doing baby checks, any time it isn't 100% certain what the sex is, which is very very rare, we do all sorts of expensive tests to find the sex out as fast as humanly possible)

Do you mean it's non-binary?

How fabulous… I’m also off to look .. brb

You’re being transphobic too.

BewaretheIckabog · 21/12/2023 22:39

Tortilla, omelette, crustless quiche, frittata - it’s not the ingredients but how they identify.

Bloody mumsnetters haven’t a clue how cruel words and misidentification can be!

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 21/12/2023 22:39

I have a Tesco slot for Thursday. We might need one a bit earlier.
please can everyone bring their own toilet roll- cost of living and government cut backs etc.

DifficultBloodyWoman · 21/12/2023 20:42

My parents would be horrified. They always told me to be careful about who I spent time with. And now I am in a gang!

Do any gang members have a decent recipe for shortbread, please? I don’t think I am getting enough snappy I am not sure if that is the butter cone t or oven temp.

Transphobe. That’s literal genocide of trans people. LITERAL GENOCIDE I TELL YOU!

It’s over in Nine Elms now. Convenient for the new shopping centre at Battersea Power Station.

AInightingale · 21/12/2023 22:42

Kinda worries me too @Laurendelaney1987 . Dawn Butler could at some point be the UK's Home Secretary, or we could have a Health Secretary who claims not to believe in the biological sex of babies. In fact, scrub 'worrying' - that to me is fucking terrifying!

Motorina · 21/12/2023 22:43

Laurendelaney1987 · 21/12/2023 22:34

What’s really worrying me here is the erosion of free speech.

im not a terf. Im really not. and believe in live and let live.

but factually, trans women are not biologically women. And do not have periods

and being reported to the police for stating this simple fact really concerns me

Being slightly serious for a moment, this is pretty much all the average terf believes. That biological sex is real and that, in some situations, that matters.

You see why we get a bit miffed at being constantly called bigots and transphobes.

Now back to quiche recipes. Roasted butternut squash cubes, caramelized onion, thyme, goats cheese, eggs and cream are my filling of choice. Happy to add a set of lock picks somewhere in the bottom layer if they might come in handy.

She's big into her edibles now.
Don't encourage poor @DifficultBloodyWoman to make that sort of shortbread, or we'll be double-jailed. Or something.

I hope the rozzers turn up soon to drag me off to do some bird - I’m taking the kids to Winter Wonderland tomorrow and honestly think it would be preferable.

3 meals no washing up and sleep...
