I Would Like To Propose A Solution To The Trans Threads Problem

[DioneTheDiabolist]

Dear MNHQ, I am pissed off with all the Trans threads. I understand that you don't wish to stifle debate/free speech and all that shit, so I propose 4 threads where all trans posts can be hidden go.

A Fuck Trans thread. For posters who hate that people are trans.
A Yay Trans thread. For posters who wish to support trans people.
A Trans Bunfight Club thread. For posters on the other two threads who want to have a bit of a ruck.
And a What MNHQ Have To Say About Trans Threads thread. For, well I think you get my drift.

All other trans posts on the site can be deleted, no other threads can be started and I can enjoy the site more.

Like when one of my Exs used to pretend to sing/play a good song but turned it into Mull of Kintyre 6 bars in.

Not going to wade in on the topic at hand, but this is the funniest thing I have read on MN all week. And so true of many sorts of threads on here of late.

Did he "mull" on purpose?

Or does everything he plays eventually turn into "mull"?

Can it please be put in a separate topic? That way those who are interested in discussing it in great detail and declaring they are Spartacus etc can do so without bothering everyone else, most of whom don't give a toss.

And agree with PP that single threads don't help - they get full and then you get thread 2, 3 etc

Please just give the trans/anti-trans lobbies their own topic to discuss it ad nauseum

He was a very tallented musician Abbey. He "Mulled" on fucking purpose.

Suppose it could have been worse. He could have Frog chorused.

Twentycups, sorry to hear your thread was transjacked. I saw it and thought your necklace was lovely. I'm not into vulva necklaces as a thing, but I do have a lovely silver and amber necklace that looks a bit like a vulva.

Kimmy, his "mulling" was bad enough. I think if he had Frog Chorussed, someone would have actually killed him.

I ended it when he told me that I was to sex, what Linda McCartney was to music. Bastard.

People complained when Brexit threads were all over the place resulting in the creation of a Brexit topic - and that was only for two or three weeks. Trans discussions have been going on for months. Logically therefore there absolutely should be a separate forum for trans topics.

"Logically therefore", no less?

They've been going on for years, not months FYI. That is because this is an important, existential question which matters to a lot of women.

Clearly not you lot, but that is why there is a hide button.

It is putting me off visiting MN, and it seems to be here to stay so I'll prob visit and post less.

Diddums

The idea that a subject should go away because you personally don't find it interesting .... Jeez if MN worked like that there'd be nothing left. It's s feminist issue and a site issue: it belongs in both places as and when appropriate.

I think Site Stuff is the Trans Topic. That's where all the new threads seem to be posted now TBF.

Ironically it is the only thing keeping me here at the moment!

Hell's teeth - when did it become compulsory to read every single thread on Mumsnet? There I was, just reading the ones that interested me and avoiding or clicking away from the ones that didn't.

I really cannot see the issue.

You open a thread it is not for you, you close the thread. It has no affect on your day.

I always wonder just how important the OPs of these threads think they are

Countless threads on here hold no interest for me but i am not self rightous enough to think starting a thread in site stuff will cause mnhq to meet my demands of give them their own topic!

If threads on mn are having such an impact on you maybe it is time for a mn break.

And?

Is there a big forum out there dedicated to trans then, or not?

There should definitely be a trans topic.

Its like whack a mole at the moment

Well, there's plenty of threads available to discuss other issues affecting women - of which there are many at the moment. I would have hoped you'd take the opportunity to discuss those whilst you're here.

Maybe we could have an area for important issues affecting women - so people could discuss them. Wouldn't just need to be about trans issues.

That sounds like what I always thought mumsnet was.

Look at Chat. Most issues there are inane stuff.
As is AIBU.

I haven't seen any real discussion threads on some of the more recent issues - such as the gender pay gap after birth?

such as the gender pay gap after birth?

I am too angry to start a thread on that topic Ego but i would happily join in on a discussion.

Don't tell us what women's issues we should be discussing, please, Ego
