What is Mumsnets definition of transphobia?

That's it really.

Mine would be hate or violence against trans people. Mine would not be "misgendering" or acknowledging transwomen are male and that they are not women.

Just skimmed it

So MNHQ remove the whole of a very good gender critical discussion thread because of the odd poster being close to the bone (rather than removing individual comments) but allow one to stand mocking the appearance of a very successful women?

@Maryz:

There is a big difference between someone saying "I feel like I should be a woman because my male genitals don't feel right" - which acknowledges biological reality - and saying "I feel like a woman, therefore I am a woman", which implies that all a woman is is a bunch of misogynist stereotypes.

I still don't think that a male person who gets surgery is a woman thereafter, but if the problem was with their own body, then that should not matter so much to them, because the body will be different, and that fact will need no outside validation.

That's about it, Pinky

With the added twist of the OP of the SW thread now getting a complete kicking, which doesn't really help anyone at all

Such bullshit.

Is the serena thread still going, I can't see it?

OlennasWimple · 10/07/2016 00:13

It just got taken down, Beyond

BertrandRussell · 10/07/2016 00:15

No it's not. Depressingly, it's been deleted, with a grovelling apology.

For a lightly moderated forum, there seems to be some pretty heavy moderating going on.........

BeyondVulvaResistance · 10/07/2016 00:18

Has a new person started then? But that mnhq are going to (can't remember if I wrote this here or on another thread!) clam up and do the Borg thing like nye again?

LadyStarkOfWinterfell · 10/07/2016 07:43

There was a thread recently that got deleted then reinstated but I can't remember what it was about! Anyone else remember it?
They must have hired a new batch who aren't quite on the same page.

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 10/07/2016 07:49

I'm not certain but I think it was a thread to do with Maryz?

LadyStarkOfWinterfell · 10/07/2016 08:25

Oh yes! They said she was a goady fucker after confusing her with some troll who was posting on the thread. Definitely a newbie

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 10/07/2016 08:33

Had to be. The regular HQers know that Maryz is a Voice of Reason.

BeyondVulvaResistance · 10/07/2016 10:09

It was a mistake the Maryz thread - a user1234 troll turned up and was writing unbelievably horrific things so literally everyone on the thread was reporting them. Hq saw a million reports of this user1234 person and in their haste to delete it (really, the things they said were that awful) deleted the whole thread by accident, thinking they were the OP.
