Surely this is against the law? It's just a pack of lies!

I hadn’t realised how many ‘concerns’ they had managed to concoct.

Like this as well. Dismissing and minimising the very valid concerns that people have is never going to pave the way for a solution through educated and thoughtful debate.

Blimey, donnabee has another plan. I will be off for a fag break when she comes by again.

R0wantrees my thoughts entirely. Helen has been quite personal in her attacks on people from here on twitter, calling them all sorts of names and making spurious police complaints about them.

Her delightful tactic of blocking people, unblocking to stalk them and then tweeting all manner of shit about them is particularly kindly and conducive to conciliation. Oh, wait.

Moreover she is someone so entrenched in her position that her talking about calming things down is bizarre in the extreme. "Calming things down" can only mean getting us to agree with her.

What do they mean about Prevent referrals? Do they mean referring the "TERFy colleagues"?

R0wantrees · 09/04/2018 17:28

there's been some attempts by some of the more determined propagandists on twitter to draw parallels with the process of 'radicalisation' and people here starting to ask questions...

Reported the petition.

IStillMissBlockbuster · 09/04/2018 17:42

I wonder why it is still up? It has 288 signatures now.

Apart from reporting the petition I'm not inclined to give Helen much airtime to be honest.

If you look at her twitter feed, though she may have a couple of thousand followers, her tweets are not being robustly endorsed and retweeted.

Most get less than 10 likes. The odd one seems to resonate on occasion to hundred or so, but the vast majority of popular tweets on her time line are re-tweets from other accounts.

I obviously don't know the reason for this; perhaps her twitter bubble is so restricted, she's actually reducing her own audience or if people simply don't feel overly strongly about what she's saying?

Either way, unless she's libelling someone I think it's best to leave her to her own devices. She has a right to free speech even if I don't agree with her on many things she tweets.

I simply don't believe she's actually that influential in the grand scheme of things and frankly I'd rather see the views stand, so that people who can influence the debate have something to reference when valid points are being raised about ROGD and potential side effects of puberty blockers (and Mermaids denying/minimising such) so they can then reach their own conclusions about the appropriateness of Mermaids inclusion in policy formation and the gravitas their advice should be afforded.

PREVENT referrals? Are they on glue?
