I don't think they even know what they are.

So deletions are now happening on the Spartacus thread.

I can just imagine some sad twunt sitting there rubbing their hands together as they're reporting and silencing women. Oh and silencing a transwoman too which is rather ironic.

Almost 40 years ago I was marching with other women in Leeds to 'Reclaim the Night'. The cause and the issues may be different but right now it feels to me that overall nothing has changed.
Silence women. Shut them down. Don't allow them any safe space.

That site is extremely, extremely entertaining.

So much insomnia, it feels so good to laugh at these abusive misogynists.

Back when I went to uni, you celebrated your newfound freedom by wearing wacky clothes or dying your hair green. Now it seems to be the trend to try and decide which of 51 genders you are...

two of those deletions happened a while ago, then Jinxy commented saying it was a bit pointless to delete her comment when the poster underneath (Helen) had quoted it. Helen has since also been deleted.

How can I see if my posts are deleted?

Congratulations, Helen. You are one of the first to be deleted on the Spartacus thread.

It would be interesting to hear MNHQ's reasoning about why they felt it necessary to delete a transwoman's gender-critical post.

The sad thing is a lot of these men can choose to leave it all at uni, as it were. I'm sure many do go on to become transwomen, but like young girls learning about porn trying to be 'cool' by being bisexual, a lot won't either.

Hence the logical assumption there will be an enormous fucking backlash at the laziness and stupidity of how all this has been handled.

It's your post at 18:59:03.

There is a certain irony involved in mNHQ deleting transwoman for being transphobic

Helen it was your "elephant in the room" post

Cote shit really? What did I say? Can I ask HQ why?

It was the autogynephilia posts that were deleted.

Just peacemaeking on the new thread. Waiting for an update from HQ.

Helen it was deleted because you quoted the deleted post. I'm not going to repeat it for obvious reasons, but the irony for me is that you agreed with the point being made. (BOOM) Yet it was deleted.

On the celeb front, why does Eddie Izzard claim to be a 'male lesbian'? Why has no one asked him why he, as a man, gets to appropriate the word lesbian?

oh the irony!!!!!!!

It was indeed the auto and BOOM posts. But I'm amused at the TW being transphobic...irony, much!!?

BurstBees I'm so disappointed in Eddy Izzard. He once said "They aren't women's clothes. They are mine." And I loved that quote. But now he's an actual woman. SMH.

*Zephyr X Lestrange is a Woman who identifies as a Nonbinary Elf. She has a large following on Facebook for some reason. She recently stated that it was transphobic for “TERFs” to organize a Women’s festival, but that it would be appropriate for these same Women to have their own planet.

Do these people not realize how stupid they actually are?*

Wat

MNHQ seem to be deleting on the grounds of phrasing now.

I think someone might be pressing the Violence and Aggression buttons when they Report. Laying it on with a fucking trowel, perhaps?

Helen you can ask HQ for an explanation. On a one to one basis they are usually very helpful.

It's the irony of "elephant in the room" being met with a swift "sorry we can't talk about that"

I'd be more than happy to live on a planet that Zephyr X Lestrange wasn't on.

That's not a stance on Gender, that is mental illness, Special.
