@MNHQ this deletion message is untrue and not fair to the OP of the thread.

What?

GirlInACountrySong · 25/05/2022 18:50

too blurry...what was it

U2HasTheEdge · 25/05/2022 18:51

Yeah. It's very unfair and untrue.

MrsDrake · 25/05/2022 18:51

I saw that and wondered what on earth that mod was on about, clearly unfair on op.

Or is anything that isn't total capitulation to the new gender religion 'uncivil' now?

PaddleBoardingMomma · 25/05/2022 18:51

Utterly disgraceful! I'm not sure how on earth Mumsnet have justified this one. Op was in no way uncivil towards trans people.

A predominately woman-centric forum, discussing maternity services and the chat is shut down because the majority weren't pandering to trans-ideology nonsense by stating only women can birth babies.

JaneJeffer · 25/05/2022 18:53

And whoever reported it should be ashamed

Not so fast to jump in here @MNHQ

I was thinking about signing up for the premium as a way of thanking @MNHQ for being a balanced space where women are actually allowed to discuss the effects on our services of biological reality being ignored by extremists.

After seeing that deletion message, which was blatantly untrue and biased, I won't be.

Johnnysgirl · 25/05/2022 18:56

Oh, that's beyond the fucking pale Angry. That was in no way uncivil to trans people.

EcafTnuc · 25/05/2022 18:58

It’ll be interesting to hear @mnhq reasonings behind this statement.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 25/05/2022 18:59

Well lucky you for seeing the deletion message.

Deleted threads disappear into the ether for me.

Utter bollocks.

Me too 🤔

JayAlfredPrufrock · 25/05/2022 19:00

I thought things had improved around here but clearly not.

ilovemyspace · 25/05/2022 19:01

@MNHQ I read the thread before it was taken down and didn't see that the OP was being "uncivil towards trans people" ......... could you explain what exactly the "uncivil" content was?

JaneJeffer · 25/05/2022 19:01

It's disappeared now but too slow Grin

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 25/05/2022 19:02

Maybe they're disappearing for a reason?

Same. Its very annoying when I've only posted for the deletion message. Although they are always boring these days.

Bluueberrryy · 25/05/2022 19:02

Very interested to hear the response to this

AnneLovesGilbert · 25/05/2022 19:08

And me.

Badqueen · 25/05/2022 19:09

The thread was riddled with homophobia and transphobia. The op's original post literally said they were uncomfortable about the picture of a pregnant transman. Didn't give a reason, just said that a photo of a transperson made them uncomfortable. That's transphobia. Someone else ridiculed the idea that a hospital would put any resources (even the 5p it costs to print a poster) into catering to LGBT people. That's homophobic and transphobic. then other people were using hypothetical muslim women as a perfectly acceptable reason to be bigoted against transmen seeking maternity care. That's racism.

If you can't see that, then you've probably spent too much time on FWR.

Someone put 10p in you again then. 🙄

Badqueen · 25/05/2022 19:13

Sorry, who are you?

JaneJeffer · 25/05/2022 19:13

I rarely go on FWR @Badqueen

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 25/05/2022 19:14

So I gather you reported it @Badqueen ?

OP posts:
ilovemyspace · 25/05/2022 19:16

@Badqueen"The thread was riddled with homophobia and transphobia" -

no, it wasn't

I think a lot of the problem is that trans views now seem to be the only opinions that matter, and no one else is allowed to express a view.......

I wonder if this post will now be reported as transphobic and deleted by MNHQ?

LemonRedwood · 25/05/2022 19:16

If MN deleted all threads where people were uncivil there'd be none left. Why special rules for this one?
