"Menstruator, and other words that rhyme with 'hate her'"

[ShotsFired]

This is why I love the English language sometimes.

It's a great piece of verse, which was written by a Mumsnetter and posted on here originally.

I'm afraid that, by linking to FB, you have outed the Mner.

Really sorry, but I've reported your post for this reason

Oh I am sorry I didn't know.

I just picked it up as a "public post" shared on several groups I am in.

I think it's sharing it back here that might be a problem. Perhaps MNHQ will contact the MNer.

Hello there fellow menstruators and non-menstruators! We've reinstated the thread but as per the poetess's request (we know her of old... a very talented non-man, she is) we have removed the link as it went to someone else's FB and they may not have been up for that.

Thanks Helen. and sorry again for reporting you @ShotsFired

No apology necessary @BoreOfWhabylon, it's all good!

I did feel awful reporting though

And just love MNHQ's description of the poet as 'a very talented non-man'

Honestly, don't feel bad. You did it with perfectly good intentions and it got amended appropriately. So everyone's happy now!

(I'm more the one who should be apologising for posting the FB link to start with - I just didn't want to appear as if I was claiming credit for someone else's work!)

I think I might take this approach when reporting trolly posts in future

I''m so very sorry, Troll1234567, but I really do think you might be trolling here. It is with a very heavy heart that I therefore feel compelled to report your post to MNHQ so that they can adjudicate.

Sorry again. No hard feelings, I hope, and please accept these . See you soon under your next name change.

May I just, at this juncture, extend my polite gratitude to ShotsFired for the OP, to BoreOfWhabylon for her considerate actions to avoid outing me, and to the wonderful YetAnotherHelenMumsnet for rapidly rectifying the possible confidentiality slip up. And for the kind compliment.

And for 'non-man'ning me.

All's right with the world.

Dainty. That's what we are Shots, dainty.

It's a word that should be used much more, imo

Yup. Dainty.

(Spits tea all over monitor while laughing, but in a dainty way)

Fuck that,can we have pizza? Daintily of course.

🤣🤣 This thread is divine. For everyone who thinks the feminist boards are full of rude and aggressive women....point them thisaway!!👍

This thread is the most British thing I've ever seen and warms the cockles of my expat heart.

So kind of you to say so AngryAttackKittens. May I offer you a nightcap? Cocoa or Horlicks?

Cocoa would be lovely, I'll provide the chocolate digestives.

Bloody hell. Can we send you two to AIBU as peace envoys?

It's funny ( or maybe not ) how we are now reclaiming menstruation, ovulation, gestation etc as intrinsic to our identity now post trans activism.
