I can't bloody understand Twitter

Hashtag this and @ that

Makes me feel old that I can't understand it

FoxtonFoxFace · 26/08/2016 22:26

The bullshit.Happy to get back to it.

Does anyone know when the deletions on the first thread actually happened? Nothing had been deleted when I last looked at it, but I'm not sure if that was late yesterday evening, or before that. Now there are lots of deleted posts. I'm going to do my Hmm face, and just leave it here. For now.

SpecialAgentSpartacusRoars · 26/08/2016 22:30

Which thread is 'the first' thread? The one that all my posts were deleted were clearly all reported for transphobia, MNHQ made that extremely obvious. I have zero fucking doubt it was because I was asking about raising awareness.

FoxtonFoxFace · 26/08/2016 22:32

The first thread is the one that's linked to in the OP of this thread. This is #2, that's #1.

venusinscorpio · 26/08/2016 22:32

I imagine the previous "bullshit" thread.

FoxtonFoxFace · 26/08/2016 22:32

Soubriquet I'm the same with Twitter. Far too old to deal with it!

SpecialAgentSpartacusRoars · 26/08/2016 22:33

Was the whinging 'boycotter' actually on MN in the first place? A boycott doesn't exactly prove a point if you were never on..

Plus, I am fully prepared for the exact opposite to happen. Which is why my FB group thoroughly vets anyone who wants to join, no penises (penii?) allowed. Also no transwomen, before, after, whatever. Just women. Any angry handmaidens are not engaged, just deleted. If FB tries to ban us, we open up a new group and delete the old.

Btw, FOOF has completely taken off Grin i wish I could post the very funny responses here, but MNHQ would use it as an excuse to ban me again.

SpecialAgentSpartacusRoars · 26/08/2016 22:35

Sorrynotsorry, TRAs will come here, they can never stay away. Ever.

They will helpfully do a lot of pissing people off we're trying to point out. It will be very good for our cause!!

FFS. Can't believe I actually feel I have to refer to my human rights as a 'cause'

shins · 26/08/2016 22:41

Foxton must have been today -my post was there this morning but has been deleted quietly. The one where I said Ada was a MAN.

StatisticallyChallenged · 26/08/2016 22:43

I didn't see any deletions this morning so I think they are relatively recent

MistressMerryWeather · 26/08/2016 22:45

Charlie, the Reddit link was posted all over the first Bullshit thread, It's not derailing for Ego to come here and express disgust at the frankly abusive things that were written.

If Ego started posting links to Reddit threads where transactivists were posting vile things an individual poster there would be uproar.

FoxtonFoxFace · 26/08/2016 22:47

Thanks Shins and Statistically.

SpecialAgentSpartacusRoars · 26/08/2016 22:48

Remember.
The bullshit.

CoteDAzur · 26/08/2016 22:49

Yes, please come back to the Bullshit.

Don't derail the thread by focusing it one person so that person can then get it deleted.

CoteDAzur · 26/08/2016 22:50

Focusing on one person, rather.

MistressMerryWeather · 26/08/2016 22:54

CoteDAzur · 26/08/2016 23:00

I'm ignoring your personal attack, Mistress, for the same reason.

Feel free to continue with your ankle biting but we have a topic to discuss. I will not help you derail the thread, turn it into a bunfight, and get it deleted.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 26/08/2016 23:01

I always find this "market" interesting. Presumably the men who have sex with pre- op transwomen are actually gay or bi, just in denial? There was whats-their-name with the 7" surprise too? Is all this an elaborate way of avoiding being gay?

LumelaMme · 26/08/2016 23:02

No time to RTFT but place marking to read later.

Just incidentally, I went to a talk by Germaine Greer a few weeks back. Five questions from the audience. Somehow the men (less than 10% of the audience) got to ask two of them. So even in a feminist context, don't expect fair shares.

SpecialAgentSpartacusRoars · 26/08/2016 23:03

Yes.

this is why there's so much shock over the sheer rudeness of lesbians not accepting this Way Out.

SpecialAgentSpartacusRoars · 26/08/2016 23:04

Well, I'm all over this thread and that was deleted so quickly I didn't even see it.
Big BrotherMNHQ Are Watching.

StatisticallyChallenged · 26/08/2016 23:05

I'd hazard a guess that's exactly what it is ItsAllGoingToBeFine - internalised homophobia and probably a dose of self hatred finding a more "acceptable" outlet.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 26/08/2016 23:06

So if you are a lesbian you should actually be a FtT
If you are gay you should be a MtT

Is there no place for homosexuality in the trans movement - is that being erased too?

Saucery · 26/08/2016 23:07

It's all strangely old fashioned in its outlook, isn't it? An absolute denial of same sex relationships.
