To think members of the feminism chat forum shouldn't be allowed to have threads that contradict their transphobic views removed from the forum?

Twice now a thread has been started about prominent lesbians opposing transphobia and twice members of the forum have engineered derailing tactics that have resulted in MN taking the thread down.

Wouldn’t this be better in feminism chat, or site stuff?

ShotsFired · 19/12/2018 12:20

"engineered derailing tactics"?

Nice try. We prefer "radicalisation portal" though. Has more drama.

AutumnCrow · 19/12/2018 12:20

Take this to Site Stuff.

ghostyslovesheets · 19/12/2018 12:22

How very dare they 🙄

😂😂😂😂😂

Paranoid much?

wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 19/12/2018 12:29

If it's the thread I'm thinking of YABU. It's deeply lesbophobic to suggest lesbians accept dick.

Sexual orientation is a protected characteristic.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 19/12/2018 12:43

They dont

Someone reported your thread

MNHQ didnt like it and they removed it

Then you didnt take the hint and had another go and the thread was removed for being a TAAT

MNHQ invited a load of randoms on twitter to complain about any posts they dont like...so its probably them as much as any MN members

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 19/12/2018 12:44

I didnt see your first thread

It didnt sound very nice

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 19/12/2018 12:45

And site stuff is a good idea

Ill report it for you so it can be moved if MNHQ see fit

GCAcademic · 19/12/2018 12:47

This is a second TAAT, and your initial thread was homophobic.

averylongtimeago · 19/12/2018 12:49

Are you saying that it is transphobic to state that lesbians are exclusively same sex attracted and shouldn't be pressured into having sex with someone who has a penis?

No wonder your homophobic posts were taken down.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 19/12/2018 12:50

Oh and you are calling all the people on the FWR chat transphobic and thats very rude

GhostSauce · 19/12/2018 12:56

Of course lesbians don't want to shag a penis. They're lesbians. If they fancied men they'd be straight.

Is that transphobic too now???

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 19/12/2018 12:58

Well this surely means that just about everyone on the planet is bisexual

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 19/12/2018 12:58

Cept obviously not before someone yells at me

Oswin · 19/12/2018 12:59

Nah just fwr isn't the place for homophobia

MsTSwift · 19/12/2018 12:59

This is confusing? So a lesbian on,y being attracted to women is now somehow wrong? Surely that is homophobia

MagnificentSevenHeaven · 19/12/2018 13:02

Goady Threads are always removed.

Plus, you don't want a discussion, you want a propaganda broadcast...

HTH

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 19/12/2018 13:02

Is that transphobic too now???

Apparently. 🙄 Isn't everything these days? You can't move without tripping over one or other of the professionally offended.

ErrolTheDragon · 19/12/2018 13:03

I don't think members of the forum 'engineered' some of the posts by the OP which (imo) broke standard talk guidelines.Hmm

charis · 19/12/2018 13:04

Homophobic. And rapey as fuck.

ShotsFired · 19/12/2018 13:04

Male lesbians being attracted to female lesbians is not anything-phobic at all.

In fact it is stunning and brave and every lesbian should automatically want to bed them and their female penises.

However female lesbians being attracted to female lesbians is deeply transphobic, apparently.

CaptainsYuleLog · 19/12/2018 13:06

So funny.

Try harder, meanwhile back under your bridge.

papayasareyum · 19/12/2018 13:07

but strangely no one seems to expect gay men to have sex with transmen. I wonder why that is?Hmm

InSightMars · 19/12/2018 13:10

Was it 'their transphobic views' that got the threads removed or your homophobic views, OP?

Me, I suspect it might have been the goady fucker who suggested Prosecco's day is done and it's time for Babycham to make a comeback - MNHQ stepped in to head off the inevitable bunfight and so they bloody well should.
