Just when you thought Everyday Transactivism could no longer surprise * title edited by MNHQ*

They come up with this.

First post - Why Transwomen Aren't Biologically Male.

The comments are encouraging though, that is, the ones that haven't been deleted. Lots of people questioning and calling this out.

I think it's a big problem too. It's immature and simplistic.

Datun the only other thing I think is missing is we are a progressive society who believe people should be able to live as they want as long as they are hurting no one. On face value and over the years the trans movement is hurting no one. It's only recently that the potential harms are becoming apparent (with the rise in trans children and push for legislative change) but the view that trans people are "born in the wrong body" are entrenched due to societies desire to be tolerant and accepting.
Don't know if that makes sense?

Yes, I think most people these days think people can believe any weird shit they want to so long as they aren't hurting anyone else.

Lesbians were the first group to be adversely affected, but no one, including the LGBT societies took any notice. It was only lesbians and other feminists who were aware of the harm.

Now, with the involvement of children and the effect on all women of trans activism, the wider world is waking up. I have found that exposing people to some of the facts is often enough to change their views. Let's hope so.

I am writing again to my MP with all this fresh information, the new links, the new instances of violence, the information about the drugs, the information about the children who are being affected etc.

It's taking me ages, because I want to make sure that what I write is correct, not too sensationalist (although I am not shying away from the ludicrous claims/sexual element), and doesn't come across as frothing in any way.

Also, there is just so much to address.

So yeah, it's taking me along time.

I know everyone is terribly busy, but if you feel capable of doing the same, it can only help.

Also, this was posted on another thread.

It's so heartfelt and so obviously true I thought I would post it here in case it gets missed.

Why has the thread title been edited by MNHQ?

Are we no longer allowed to call websites ridiculous?

Do get a life, whoever reported that

ifit

I cant remember but calling websites ridiculous may be actual violence... I think, i am getting confused

It was 'Just when you think Everyday Transactivism couldn't get any more ridiculous'

Maybe it's triggering to ridiculous people

With the f word, but I doubt that's what anyone was bothered about.

I imagine it is, pencils. Ok I'll spare a thought for them.

If you read this whole thread, could you really quibble with the word "ridiculous"? Really?

Is 'ridiculous' a banned word? Have MNHQ explained what that was about???

Can't work out what could be found offensive about the original title. Baffled.

Lol that mumsnet have changed 'ridiculous' to 'surprise' but missed the fact that the site isn't actually called 'everyday transactivism'

I'm going to post on site stuff asking why it has been changed

MNHQ have completely changed their moderation recently.

Banning multiple posters without warning when their posts remain up and within talk guidelines, censoring stuff, threatening permanent bans for ill defined and subjective offences and now re-writing titles?!!!

What on earth is going on? MNHQ is completely different.

Can't see the reasoning behind the thread title change, or the logic of why someone would complain
Thought I would link a thread in Relationships as some of you might be able to give some sane advice.

I've just had a post deleted on that thread. Feel very sorry for OP's DD.

The title change is fucking weird. I've reported the thread to ask them to comment on why.

The only thing to be achieved by the change is that it keeps the thread alive with more people posting, so a bit counterproductive to whoever reported.
PoftheP do you know why your post was deleted?

Oh no! Transactivists are offended that their DNA has let them down again!!!!
