Lily Madigan Blocklist

So I am on this published blocklist. In good company with Julie Bindell et al, but still, I'm so angry. I've never tweeted Lily, so it is a mystery. I follow women's place and a lot of Rad fems, so it must be that? Anyone else on it? What should we do? I am totally shocked that this can be sanctioned by the party. That's my vote lost forever. Hell will freeze over before I vote Labour again.

The hypocrisy is so blatant. Lily gets to publish defamatory lists on Twitter despite being an office holder, while women members are pulled in and questioned over opinions expressed in private Facebook groups. Double standard much?

Slight deviation but wtf does she have her PayPal link on her Twitter?

I laughed at the outrageousness of this. Who the hell puts a PayPal link there?! The sheer cheek and cluelessness of it.

I think most TRAs do so LM is not alone in that.

I've noticed that most of them are not employed (in the sense of being paid to do an actual job) so have lots of time to orchestrate outrage on Twitter and then beg for money on the back of it. It is probably the only career most of them will ever get.

If Kim Kardashian can get paid a shedload for posting a selfie then why can't TRAs get paid for "raising awareness of trans issues"?

Capitalism innit?

You'd think Labour might worry just a teensy bit about who exactly benefits from paying to infiltrate the Labour Party, but no.

Labour are the true clueless ones, not the TRAs begging for money.

Redandorangeandyellow · 21/03/2018 14:15

I can't believe that the Labour party hasn't spotted LM's tweets and interviews and shut them down. All organisations monitor social media these days.

There has to be some bizarre agenda somewhere.

Well I'm not on the blocked list. Does this prove the invisibility of post menopausal women?

Think of it as stealth camouflage ;)

MrPan · 21/03/2018 14:21

I'm blocked, and also blocked from Owen Jones.
A la diplomatic protocols, I've blocked both of them from my account.

SirVixofVixHall · 21/03/2018 14:24

How do you block someone who has blocked you?

Go on the little wheel on their profile

Definitelyanamechange · 21/03/2018 14:38

I suppose if Lily can self-id as a woman, then Lily feels they can self-id in other ways too and Lily certainly won't mind how offensive they are when doing it. Limits only being not identifying as black or a table.

Pratchet · 21/03/2018 14:39

search their name and get to their account that way rather than just on the 'you are blocked' response page. V important to block when you are blocked or they will sh*tpost you without you knowing

SirVixofVixHall · 21/03/2018 14:46

What is shitposting? Have blocked, thanks for that advice. So bizarre to have to block someone I've never had any dealings with.

Pratchet · 21/03/2018 14:53

Just posting rubbish on your feed, calling youvtransphobic or other things, and you never know so you don't respond.

Pratchet · 21/03/2018 14:54

When you have blocked someone, if they haven't blocked you, you can still see their teeets and respond if you want to.

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 21/03/2018 14:55

I’ve posted the below on the data protection thread but wondered if any tweeters would be willing to contact other people on the list?

~~
Would it also be worth contacting people like Graham Linehan (?) and other high profile people who are on the list?

Along the lines of “Hi @ name you are on a list of people who are deemed by @ xname to make Twitter an unsafe space for trans people! The list is defamatory and damaging to the reputation of people on it”

Or
“Hello @ name your reputation along with that of 2000+ people is being potentially defamed by @ lilyshandle. Being on a list of people who make Twitter unsafe for trans people is damaging to the careers of many and contributes to silencing women.”

I wonder if Graham Linehan is on it because of that IT Crowd episode?

Juells · 21/03/2018 15:48

...or more likely, this one

Ihavesomeballs · 21/03/2018 15:53

I can't get on to LM profile to block because he's blocked me?? How to do this please?

Pratchet · 21/03/2018 15:56

Find Madigan on the web twitter not the app, you will see profile pic 'he blocked you' and the little setting wheel you can drop down to block

LapdanceShoeshine · 21/03/2018 15:56

twitter.com/madigan_lily does this open for you? (I am blocked & have blocked back so I have to meander through other people's tweets until I find one with a working @ in Grin)

Pratchet · 21/03/2018 15:57

Well done lapdance yes tap on the setting wheel and block from there

LapdanceShoeshine · 21/03/2018 15:58

(if you're on the desktop site there are 3 little dots instead of the wheel)

Ihavesomeballs · 21/03/2018 16:00

Aha I am on the app. Thanks!
