Xenophobia, homophonic, transphobia

Are you gonna do anything about it? Like, i know the line is that shoving the madness in the feminism board means it's not transphobia. And I know it's been done to death but I'm sick of it. It's not acceptable. Xenophobia, racism and homophobia also increasing.
And no. I won't leave. This is the biggest forum of its kind and it needs to represent and respect us all. And care that it's not.

Why are you calling women on the thread “weirdos” because they advocate basic safeguarding practices, @Differentforgirls?

I’d reserve ‘weirdo’ for thinking it’s acceptable for men to be bathing 5 year old unrelated girls.

Well that was certainly personal.

You have been, yes. Thanks for admitting it.

Meceme · Today 19:45

And @Differentforgirls I never blamed you. I just thought you were misguided with a very poor understanding of safeguarding.

I'm wondering what is 'differentforgirls' according to Differentforgirls?

I know. I'm part of it. I'm leaving it now. It's frustrating. I had a mother coming into my place of work with a holdall of her daughter's belongings, throwing them at me and my colleague and saying "she's your problem now, the wee bitch" for the simple reason her benefits had been stopped as said "wee bitch" had turned 16 and wasn't in work or training.

But it's men.

Good grief you really are incapable of rational thinking ? You like to over simplify problems and the world

the basic gist of your argument seems to be that transgender people didnt cause the chocolate harvest to fail and that proves that men including transgender ones are all angels

God forbid any man has a daughter, because according to people on here he should just ignore her needs.

So I'm thick now? Thank you.

Again putting words into people’s mouths. “Misguided” does not mean unintelligent. Having a “very poor understanding of safeguarding” does not mean unintelligent. Plenty of really quite clever people have no idea about it.

Hi @StillgotmyiPod the posts you describe are likely to break our guidelines. But as mentioned earlier, we may not see them unless they're reported.

Why don’t you get more moderators? You had a massive breach not that long ago of child pornography. Racism, antisemitism and xenophobia aren’t that uncommon on these boards.

It’s not good enough to say ‘we expect you lot to do the work because we simply can’t’. It’s up to MN to fix these issues rather than put the blame and weight on other users. We all know that MN can afford it, at this point, it’s a choice.

You know how women try to give a man a hint by ignoring them but the man keeps going? Abusive men? Usually due to low self esteem?

Ian Huntley.

Well if he gets out of jail and doesnt declare his new name and doesnt phone the trans hotline then yes, bingo.

Same as any person who wants to just change their name and not link it on a dbs form.

@Differentforgirls - are you going to answer my question - do you think a violent male rapist should be locked up in a prison cell with a vulnerable woman? Yes or no.

Still ignoring this question @Differentforgirls ? Don't have the courage to back yourself and answer it?

You asked for an example. You got one in the shape of a man who murdered two little girls and he was given a job in that school because there was no joined up working and his DBS was clear.

But you disrespect those two wee girls by linking it to trans women.

Can you not see how this isn't rational?

The ‘I’m leaving the thread’ flounce is going well.

backformoreofthesame · Today 19:58

No?

Sorry, that wasn't to you. It was to a woman who has followed me about all day even though it's clear I have no interest in her posts. There are four of them now, all of whom I will continue ignoring.

None of them are you.

Is isn’t different from saying ‘men are biologically designed to reproduce with women’ as an argument against homosexuality. Technically a fact but still doesn’t change the fact that they are gay and aren’t going to do that. Would you go around arguing that point unprompted?

What genitalia a person might have has nothing to do with you, doesn’t change them as a person and makes no difference to anything really. It’s a Mumsnet obsession at this point, I know quite a few trans people, through work and in my personal life, and it really is a non issue in real life.

You’re right. It’s a complete non-issue from women to share their toilets, changing rooms, sports and prisons with trans women, who aren’t men at all (just to be clear). They’re women, just like other women. The whole thing about them actually being men, and even more likely to be imprisoned for sexual crimes than other women and even non trans-identifying men (according to so-called government statistics) is rubbish and needs to be stamped out. They’re women, and really lovely women to boot.

You dont know your history. There was no CRB/DBS when Ian Huntley got his job at Soham School, it was brought in because of him.

Ereshkigalangcleg · Today 20:02

And if that comment was to you you’d be complaining about being called a man. I consider this post a DARVO, considering that you’ve used abusive language to attack women on this thread.

Oh yes. Sorry. There was no joined up working. But I still, honestly, think you can't trust a DBS. We call it an "Enhanced Disclosure" and it's better that nothing and obviously better than back then but he was never convicted.

I know you cant trust the DBS due to the Trans Loophole and the police losing track of hundreds of thousands of paedophiles and the lack of action on sexual offences and on and on and on...

anyolddinosaur · Today 20:19

@straighttola Why is it that mens rights activists - like you - are so obsessed with genitalia? Sex realists usually only discuss that if a MRA has raised it. They always raise it within their first few posts.

Your obsession is really unhealthy.

You can't trust them anyway as I posted previously about the male and female guidance teachers.

Both now convicted of shagging the pupils they were meant to guide.

You really can't blame 0.5% of the population for the deviance in society as a whole.

Look at Bonnie Blue eg?

Society is going to hell in a handcart and it has zero to do with trans people.
