Apparently, women with vaginas are "cuntscum."

This lovely person was elected to represent LGBT students. What a stunning and brave example they present.

Fucking hell MNHQ, this is so so wrong. "Landslide of reports" - really?? How many?

It was either 'misgendering', or the 'cuntscum' insult being facetiously turned back on the originator.

Plus a very dedicated person or group reporting, with the 'right' words, everything SpecialAgent was posting.

Not just closed, deleted.

On the off chance that Special Agent is reading this (though I wouldn't blame her if she isn't), I hope you are OK and your conversations with your friends are helpful

I have no way of contacting SpecialAgent. It stinks.

Well no surprise there that it went into the ether. I'd just posted on how deletion happy Mumsnet is now. Depressing.

Special, if you are reading, I am @PsATilly on Twitter, give me a shout xx

What happened? I lost the thread & now it's deleted?

And this is after I spend a good chunk of time arguing with a bunch of handmaidens that coercive sex is fucking rape, on a bloody relationships post - just for mnhq to delete the whole thing at his (OP's) request

Fuxache
Bad day all round.
😡😡😡

I'm sure it's all the misgendering. Because that's literally violence and the worst thing anyone can ever possibly do. It's so important to silence a discussion about misogyny and hate speech if misgendering is going on, because that's clearly more important. I mean, no one gives a fuck about misogyny, obviously. That's crystal clear. I do wonder who made all those reports?

Are we all to be banned, now?

At least I'd get some fucking work done I suppose.

Can someone explain to me (genuine question) why misgendering is so so awful? I had previously thought of it as somewhere between impolite and a bit offensive, depending on context, rather than something so awful that it merits an immediate deletion and ban.

Ada/Nate's preferred pronoun is "they" apparently even though it is manifestly logically and grammatically wrong.

Because it is very upsetting to anyone who has transitioned, to have anyone say anything that casts doubt on that person being who they say they are.

The 'landslide' of reports Venus??

I would say if there was a 'landslide' of reports from non-contributors, then MN is being trolled by transactivists

And if ego did report special, then I don't ever want to hear NATWALT from their duplicitous self ever again

Fucking gurning on about how TW are misrepresented and shit

Speaking of the "landslide" of reports. One doesn't have to be a member to report, do they?
Chinny reckon.

I have always seen it as good manners to say when I am reporting someone on the thread.

The Chat thread is gone?

It still baffles me that it's in any way controversial to state that people with penises are not women.

'Cotton ceiling' was my peak trans moment. Ada's comments about lesbians were appalling, and I can't see that many young lesbians would be comfortable being part of an organisation he's allowed to speak for.

You have to be a member and logged in to report

DH just checked, you do need to be logged in. Phew, that's something

Because although NATWALT, in some things they are. It would be nice if some of them actually told the activists to get a fucking sense of perspective, and understood that women also are made to feel "othered". All the time. I find it deeply offensive that this pandering bullshit is privileged over calling out genuine misogyny and hate speech.

I'm sure it is upsetting brasty. It's upsetting for me as a victim of coercive control and rape to have to walk on eggshells around someone and be gaslighted into saying a bepenised rapist is a woman.
