The Lib Dem LGBT twitter feed is annoyed at Mumsnet

[yetanothertranswoman]

Apparently the Alt-Right and 4-Chan are using MN.
I think it's just one person who controls their tweets. I really hope that the top Lib Dems know what's being said.

Sounds about right. Everyone knows mummies have mashed broccoli for brains and can't come to their own opinion on Important Things.

I thought they said there were 4 of them, and it was official

Looks more like work experience

They need to naff off and grow up. I cancelled my direct debit after I saw the nonsense they were posting. Nothing to do with being "radicalised" by "TERFs"! Just as a direct response to their ridiculous posts representing the Lib Dems. I'm not going to vote for the Lib Dems in any upcoming elections, despite that making me politically homeless. They're fools and it's incredibly depressing.

It probably makes them feel better to think that is the case, it would be preferable to the truth of women of all political views actually having the capacity for rational thought themselves.

Oh please.

Give us some credit.

They can't possibly imagine women have the ability to think fir them selves, can they?!

I only bloody heard of 4chan recently here, and it doesn't go down well on mn.

Radicalise and recruit terfs.

Blimey, where is the professionalism? This is the kind of stuff 12 year olds would do when I was at school.

God that's utterly pathetic and incredibly patronising and sexist.

Just imagine mothers having views and opinions of their own! I for one had my opinion box removed when I saw two line spring up on the pregnancy test.

How can I tell if I've been radicalised? Is there a badge or secret handshake?

Radicalised on Mumsnet? 😳🤔🤣🙄

They're mad!

The sexism is extraordinary, isn't? Like the women of Mumsnet are a homogenous, naive group who are being duped into being gender critical by the alt-right! If that isn't a half baked attempt at gaslighting, I don't know what is!

It's probably best to ignore them - i don't think the people running the LD LGBT. Twitter feed are very bright, to be honest. They probably haven't had this much attention ever.

Goodness me!

Are they honestly going with the angle that Mumsnet is an alt-right shill?

A reminder of the petition they consider is so 'radical'. A request for a consultation on protecting the safety of women and girls.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/214118

Radicalised and recruited into biology!

Arf

Have you got Saltwater sandals? Do you try (and fail) to stretch a chicken over 27 meals? Have you tried the Mumsnet haircut? Do you have an opinion on parking? Were you baffled by that pink M&S dress?

YOU TOO COULD BE RADICALISED!

LGBT+ Lib Dems account appears to be controlled by a bunch of nobs (4 nobs I believe).

They've gone a bit rogue over recent days and have been shockingly rude and dismissive towards women, including one woman who simply and politely requested details of how to make a complaint (here for anyone else has who's been affected).

Trawling MN for posts that are completely unrelated to lib dems or their rogue LGBT+ group looks a bit desperate and calls into question what they are for or why LibDems should continue to fund them.

Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe the libdems are actually that irrelevant now. It's a shame because I believe in proper old school liberalism and democratic values and I have voted for them in the past.

The middle ground in politics is a yawning chasm right now. We desperately need an alternative. They don't even need to be that special, just relatively sane with a side order of human decency.

"Who's that trip trapping over my bridge?"

Oh, not that kind of troll then.

Dear Lib Dems. I do not want to share my space with male bodied people. People with XY chromosomes are men. Nothing radical about that, just basic biology. And another vote lost.

I did the MN hair cut last week - I am a lost cause.

Seriously, I've voted Lib-Dem for years (when they can be arsed to put up a candidate against our local selection of right-wing independents and tories). Not any more.

Anyway the LibDems are a bunch of idiots.

when I was working for them, telephone fundraising, we were told that with any controversial topic that we might get asked about on the phone, such as abortion, cannabis , whatever, we had to say that there was no official party line and it was up to individual MPs to make up their own minds,

so they can fuck off with this, why is this different?

Did they really think no one's mum would object to stripping women of their right to privacy and dignity, and to transitioning away the Gays and Lesbians? Srsly?

Cis women.

I wanna badge!! 'Snot fair!! I signed the petition and everything!!

Seriously - I've just remembered I've got a nice replica WSPU badge - must hunt it out.

I have voted Lib Dem in the past. I will not vote for them again. I do not believe I have been radicalised on MN. I grew up believing sex was biology and gender was the word for sex-based social norms, and feminism challenged those norms.
But then, I am not a cis-woman, I am simply a woman.

Waves to the LibDem twitter feed plonkers who are no doubt stalking this thread too!

I want trans people to have human rights - the right to pursue employment, housing etc. free from harassment and discrimination, the right to live their lives free from the threat of violence, the right to be fully included in the political process.

But transwomen don't get to have women's rights, because the clue is in the name - women's rights. The stuff we need (maternity provision, contraception, abortion, single sex spaces to escape from male violence) in virtue of our biology. Transwomen don't get women's rights because they are biologically male.
