I don't know if it has the legs to sustain a third thread, but kudos to perfectly for the impeccable timing of finally answering a question on the second to last post before the thread filled up. Genius.

here is the second thread

As I am now the OP, I wonder if this gives me the right of veto over the resolutions that we apparently made in the Great Accords of 2017?

OP posts:

As regards the homophobia and paedophilia issue. When I was a student a nice chap from the student LGB soc suggested a speaker from a gay paedo organisation of some sort. It was only when all the dykes stated they would leave end masse that he realised it was not such a great idea. I think there are some worrying attitudes as regards adults and kids coming from TRAs etc, as well as the old attempted slur from homophobes.

Nuffaluff · 26/12/2017 10:26

No perfectly.
I know exactly what you're trying to do.
As someone said on one of the previous threads, you're good at it.
We are not homophobic or transphobic on here. Stop it.

iamawoman · 26/12/2017 10:27

saucysienna - would that be a larger or smaller minority than the trans population??

QuentinSummers · 26/12/2017 10:29

Of course some paedophiles will be piggybacking on the trans movement. Vulnerable confused children who are alienated from their parents are ideal targets for paedophiles. It doesn't do anyone any favours to pretend this won't and doesn't happen.

Datun · 26/12/2017 10:29

Oh good Lord.

It's not that LGBT support paedophilia, it's that paedophiles are trying to inveigle their way in to LGBT.

Because the trans-ideology supports male access to females and children, they are able to utilise it.

See the penis packers thread where prosthetic penises for four year old trans identified girls are described as lovely and squishy. Or Alok thingy (best friends with Travis who managed to kick up enough fuss that Topshop changed their changing room rules) who said little girls are kinky and deviant.

I don’t know what agp is

Well that explains some of it then.

I find it interesting that a tiny minority of men are pardophiles, but we have imposed pretty strict measures to ensure that that tiny minority have no access to children, and men, by and large understand the need for those measures. But any suggestion that vulnerable women might need protection from a tiny minority of transwomen are met with horror.

perfectly · 26/12/2017 11:04

You can try and dig your way out as much as you like but everything written over the past few days is there to see in black and white. Any journalist who picks it up will have a field day.
As Nuffaluff said, playing right into the hands of the TRAs.
Should have stuck to two threads but I guess with so many ignorant and bigoted posters on here it was inevitable it would eventually implode.

Ereshkigal · 26/12/2017 11:09

You do you, perfectly.

iamawoman · 26/12/2017 11:14

well said bertrandrussell

QuentinSummers · 26/12/2017 11:16

Misquoting people does have the effect of making it look as though people are ignorant and bigoted, yes.

perfectly · 26/12/2017 11:16

BertrandRussell are you actually saying trans women are as threatening to other women as paedophiles are to children? Because that's what it sounds like and that is precisely why this thread is becoming a joke.

Ereshkigal · 26/12/2017 11:20

That's not what she said.

perfectly · 26/12/2017 11:22

How is this not comparing the 'danger' of trans women to the danger of pedophiles?

Emerencealwayshopeful · 26/12/2017 11:23

Quickly coming in to thank those voices of reason who repeat facts over and over and over as though someday the naysayers will understand.

I don’t know how we’ve found ourselves in a reality in which people argue passionately that it is possible to change biological sex, that women only spaces are offensive to those who would claim to be female but are not, and that gender divisions are so important that anyone stepping across the invisible pink/blue divide must actually have been born in the wrong body rather than just happening to enjoy something that stereotyping says they should not.

Datun · 26/12/2017 11:24

perfectly

Your incriminating and unsubtle attempts to generate gotcha moments and/or pounce on anything you can spin is really tedious. And obvious.

The women here have been talking about this for years. Their arguments are unassailable. And they are fairly uniform. As anyone can see. There are no gotcha moments to be had.

All these comments about 'now people can really see what you like' are showing up your agenda.

Let them see. It's a public forum. Anyone can come and look.

TheXXFactor · 26/12/2017 11:26

I really have no idea why anyone is still engaging with perfectly at this stage. At best, his/her posts are a distraction, at worst they are an attempt to entice MNetters into making statements that can be used out of context to label MN as transphobic and so argue that our views are those of bigots and should be disregarded. Let's wise up.

iamawoman · 26/12/2017 11:27

i thought br was making the point that even though paeodophiles are a minority of men - we still ensure that there are checks in place ie sex offenders register \ dbs to minimise harm. therefore why is it women cant have similar protections if a bilogical male is entering a female domain where privacy and dignity and safety as miniorty of those males trans, Self ID or not will be entering that space to carry out offending behaviour

perfectly · 26/12/2017 11:27

Datun good for you, and if you stand by the comparisons of LGBT with pedophilia I wish you the best of luck.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 26/12/2017 11:28

We can read perfectly and you are being rather pathetic. But do carry on, as there are plenty of lurkers for you to peaktrans

Datun · 26/12/2017 11:31

perfectly

Datun good for you, and if you stand by the comparisons of LGBT with pedophilia I wish you the best of luck.

When what I actually said was.

"It's not that LGBT support paedophilia, it's that paedophiles are trying to inveigle their way in to LGBT."

Such a silly way to argue perfectly.

perfectly · 26/12/2017 11:35

Thanks Assigned - but as I pointed out, the lurkers who peak trans after basing their opinions on what they read on Mumsnet are embarrassing the feminist movement by writing to their MPs with irrational bigotry. See example below:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3118046-Had-a-reply-from-my-MP-re-GRA-head-is-spinning-S-O-S

Datun · 26/12/2017 11:50

Except Justine Greening has postponed the GRA consultation precisely because the government is now aware how the erosion of women's rights has started to happen.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 26/12/2017 11:51

I'm afraid that it is you being irrational perfectly.

The women on this board know the debate well. They continue to patiently debate and discuss because they know there are lurkers and they know that they will enlighten them to the madness of trans activism.

Over and over and over again.

You saying that there is "irrational bigotry" is just as nonsensical as thinking that a human being can change sex. Believing it does not make it true, no matter how often you shout or throw insults.

Sorry.

Datun · 26/12/2017 11:54

'irrational bigotry' is a mechanism designed to provoke outrage.

Tedious tactics.
