I commented on a post, and now can't see it. Does that mean I've been blocked? I can see a one sided conversation with posieparker...

Twitter nube, here, sorry.

Truscum · 18/03/2018 23:00

I’m sorry, what in the what now?

LM has come out...as a lesbian?! Ffs.

KittyMcKitty · 18/03/2018 23:02

Not sure pickle I’m not great with Twitter!

Why is LM making a big fuss about identifying as a lesbian- they’ve said this before so why the big coming out / dig at mum thing?

DarthArts · 18/03/2018 23:02

Oh dear.

LM will have made Owen Jones very sad with this tweet - maybe enough to have another mantrum.

LM's fearlessness is self destructive in one so young. One thing for a 50yr old bloke to chuck it all in the air and start again, but lily?

Definitelyrandom · 18/03/2018 23:03

Yes - LM describes themselves as “gay” with a photo of themself and a young woman now on their profile. Hm.

LangCleg · 18/03/2018 23:03

Trying to get a bunch of raging narcissists to all stay on message and not devour each other must be worse than herding cats. That's part of why they need "TERFs", so they won't turn on each other.

They've certainly been cannabilising each other all day today.

Who knew that it all it would take is two women going swimming?!

When this all goes down in flames, it's going to take all the popcorn in the world with it.

What post was it, and to who? I'm a mere lurker to it all, I should be able to see if there's anything else there.

Nosetothesun · 18/03/2018 23:05

Seems there's been some quite serious problems with Terfblocker... twitter.com/aimeec110/status/975503492109557762

RedToothBrush · 18/03/2018 23:06

Stella Creasy has been engaging today.

As part of that, there has been this exchange:
twitter.com/toofaass/status/975442923348045824

In which Creasy says no one is asking for the removal of sex based exceptions under the Equality Act 2010.

  1. Allowing Self ID on AWS does exactly what?
  2. I love the screen shot of Lily saying that sex-based provisions for women are transphobic.

I also note the lack of reply from Creasy to this tweet.

There are many, many things wrong with the responses Creasy gave in this twitter thread, but that particular one was one that really took the biscuit.

Uninformed doesn't even begin to cover it.

CadyHeron · 18/03/2018 23:07

Exactly. A woman in an inoffensive pink swimhat,at that. What exactly did they do wrong, there? You can self ID and go swimming,right......

gingergenius · 18/03/2018 23:09

I was blocked by LM the other day. There's absolutely no reasonable discussion.

Utterly juvenile

Here's the repellently misogynistic AndiePasdeDeux:

LangCleg · 18/03/2018 23:13

Stella is a disingenuous arse.

From the list of recommendations in Maria Miller's Transgender Equality Report:

22. We recommend that the Equality Act be amended so that the occupational requirements provision and / or the single-sex / separate services provision shall not apply in relation to discrimination against a person whose acquired gender has been recognised under the Gender Recognition Act 2004. (Paragraph 132)

The Tories have rolled back on this and are now saying in TV interviews and letters to constituents that they won't be amending the EA. Labour endorsed the report when it came out and haven't rolled back on a thing. Rather, as we've all seen, they've doubled down.

I do not consider the EA to be safe under a Labour government. This is why I left the party.

I will never, never, never, never vote for them until they have reversed course on this and done it openly, with apologies to women, and put in the manifesto in words of one syllable so they can't go back on it.

RedToothBrush · 18/03/2018 23:16

Isn't she just... I'm glad it wasn't just me thinking it was bare faced.

LangCleg · 18/03/2018 23:20

Red - she's a capable politician. When she knows she's going to bask in glory over something, she is capable of putting together excellent political work and achieving results (see: pay day loans, abortion in NI). There is NO WAY she does not know what she is supporting here. She knows. She's made the calculation. And the calculation is that it serves her better to throw women under the bus about this.

GabeIsShocking · 18/03/2018 23:21

Wow and after all Owen Jones did for LM. He went to all that effort of trolling us for LM to tweet that.

GabeIsShocking · 18/03/2018 23:22

Is Stella going to see the TERFs were not wrong after all and U turn, just in time with public opinion? Hmm

DarthArts · 18/03/2018 23:31

@GabeIsShocking it's ok.

Owen will just call his mum to come to his defence yet again.

On a more serious note the activists are all very rattled today (more so than usual).

Terf Blocker deleting their account on the basis of that spat with LM shows there's definitely discord in the ranks.

GabeIsShocking · 18/03/2018 23:34

They wanted it to go through like it has in Canada.

RedToothBrush · 18/03/2018 23:35

GabeIsShocking if she u-turns I don't care why or when.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 18/03/2018 23:35

The twitter ever decreasing circles of insanity is amazing Star

Mouthtrousersafrocknowandthen · 18/03/2018 23:38

Sprout seems exited about the end of sex segregation.

twitter.com/KilgoreSprout/status/975435988624396288

If it wasn't done for transphobic reasons the #manfriday stuff could be quite good, y'no fuck gendered changing rooms. This could be a good campaign for gender neutral facilities, lets stop separating the "sexes".

CadyHeron · 18/03/2018 23:41

I was blocked by LM the other day. There's absolutely no reasonable discussion.
Precisely.
MN's great for stuff like this. If you tried debating or asking questions anywhere else, even perfectly politely or legitimately, you're a TERF and blocked.
It's a one sided echo chamber out there as they just #nodebate and shut down any concerns or viewpoints not the same as their own.
Why are women having to campaign and get petitions going just to get a say in what happens? I've never been a so called feminist but it does make you think.
We're people, with rights, and more of us need to wake up and see what's trying to be pushed through.
Free debate is what used to make us good.Now the whole block and delete thing is more than a little bit creepy.

Madigan seems to have memorised a couple of phrases and is chucking them out to the bafflement of those around him.
