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.

Things like this stress the pants off me as a lifelong labour supporter. There will be an election next year and they haven't fucking noticed 50% of the population are actual biological women.

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

Oooh, looks like lots of designer shopping at Battersea. Even better for picking out my court outfit.

I shall write a 'tell all book' about the trial (after we are all acquitted, of course) and call it 'The Mumsnetter Wore Prada'.

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

This is from an article in Unherd about France’s capture.

Only last year, Le Planning Familial (PF), a state-funded network of organisations providing sex education and reproductive services, launched a campaign with an illustration of a “pregnant man”. The poster read: “At Planning, we know that men can get pregnant, too.” The PF also stated that sex is a social construct, a gay man can have a vulva, a penis is not a male organ, and the use of the words “female and male” should be banned. This is an organisation that is providing sex education in schools across France.

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

Your comment makes you a terf.

That's a terf comment according to the likes of Dawn. One that should be criminalised.

If you aren't already locked up with the rest of us.

etc etc ad infinitum, because everything we say and everything we do and everything we think and everything we don’t think is
T R A N S P H O B I C!!!!!!!

Hope that helps.

I'll offer up to share a cell with Dawn. I have a cold and will take one for the team to save infecting all of MN.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 21/12/2023 22:45

Has anyone settled on a name for us? Either here or in the other thread?

DragonMama3 · 21/12/2023 22:46

Times like this, I wish I'd installed a Penguin bollard. That would stop the Police in their tracks, so it would.

That's all it takes. You're a terf. Welcome to the party, pal!

Laurendelaney1987 · 21/12/2023 22:47

If I do have to go to prison. Do you think my work will expect me to take my laptop and work from cell? How good do you think the WiFi will be?

murasaki · 21/12/2023 22:48

I think i might identify as Dawn Butler when the rozzers come calling. That'll confuse them.

Although it would be massively lowering my standards.

I put dark chocolate chips and roasted hazelnuts into my shortbread. Is this an indictable offence?

All round to your cell .

@WearyAuldWumman gosh yes! How interesting, could you possibly show me
how they work, fascinating instrument. I’ll bring my flute. Unfortunately I’m only a beginner, so easy to spot near the bbq.

No problem. Left hand for bellows and buttons; right for the keyboard.

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.

Edited

They'll probably catch me as I'm really nosy so always answer the door! Plus I'll stick a note on telling them it's open just let themselves in. So looking forward to a fun Christmas day in the clink!

If anyone is doing a spreadsheet can I please be places in a cell with poker and back gammon players please?

Also, I think we need to know who is going to be Queen Bee? Best to get this stuff sorted out in advance....should we vote?

For when we escape? Like, an Ex Cell spreadsheet?
