Hi as all the threads are on one topic I have taken to reading threads from the beginning of this forum and the diversity in topics is really heartening and interesting to read does anyone else read them.

I'm not asking people to look I'm asking if anyone does

Well I guess from the responses so far the answer to that is 'no'.o

TripleRainbow · 21/04/2018 00:22

I don't read the threads like that. Is that all you wanted to know? Hmm

HopScotchy · 21/04/2018 00:22

FFS cutting you off now. You just keep asking women to re-set their conversation please. Without your input other than stop talking about what you are talking about. Go away.

You could do what I do which is hide the majority of trans threads and other threads will move back up the ranking.

How do you do that?

OP posts:
HopScotchy · 21/04/2018 00:46

Not rude at all. If you want to discuss something ask about that something. Don't just say there are some unspecified things some people said 7 years ago and expect a conversation. It's completely obviously a comment on the current topic as not interesting. If no one in a group is saying anything of interest find another group or introduce a new topic and see what happens.

LassWiADelicateAir · 21/04/2018 00:48

At the top of every thread there is an arrow pointing downwards. Click on it and click on "hide this thread"

ErrolTheDragon · 21/04/2018 00:50

In the app, swipe the title left and you should see options to watch, hide or share.

AngryAttackKittens · 21/04/2018 00:50

Well, no, most people don't read forums backwards. If that's something you like doing then fair enough, on you go!

What? Look if you've found something interesting please share it. At the moment it sounds like you would prefer we didn't talk about women's rights re trans because you don't want to talk about it. Conversations require a mutual interest. If we find stuff interesting as will talk about it.

Thanks for that lass I'm on my phone so it might take a while lol I did ask I wondered what people thought of the original threads like how we saw things 8 years ago something are a lot different somethings are unfortunately the same you don't seem interested in that so maybe hide this thread.

OP posts:
HopScotchy · 21/04/2018 00:54

I started a thread tonight which bombed too. It's not about you or me it's about us. We talk about what the collective 'we' wants to talk about.

Thanks koyaanisqatsi this is what I'm finding reducing the number just a little with a few more larger topics it just every little thing that happens is flagged on here and I also believe at the cost of other topics and others views on them as they don't want to enter

OP posts:
HopScotchy · 21/04/2018 01:02

No, I don't read forums backwards from the start. I hope that answers your question.

HopScotchy · 21/04/2018 01:04

What are you trying to say? Women must be encouraged to discuss things they 'dont want to enter' ? Please what is your point? I cannot see a point.

Thanks hopscotchy you know you don't have to follow this thread but I appreciate you have other issues to address I don't read all the threads people post😀

“Totally hostile and belittling for no reason. The op explained she found some topics she had found interesting and questioned if there was any one else who did.“

But she didn’t say what they were about. So how can anyone know?

Op- choose the one you find most interesting and either state another thread on the same topic or a thread linking to it. If there’s one thing Mumsnet hates, it’s nudges, winks and an expectation of psychic powers.

For the record, I would love to have more non trans feminist threads to post on.

Sorry no that didn't make sence. What I meant was that you literally can not see other topics on here when you open this forum and it stops others feeling they can talk about other things also you were aggressive when I started this thread so it's not easy doing that you could have just said no and hide this thread as I'm going to do with some of the others

Next time I will be clearer when I start a topic, I just wanted to read other things sometimes a little and I understand the importance of this to some people but there are equally important things others would benifit from talking about maybe mumsnet could do a sub fourm or something then everything is together

HopScotchy · 21/04/2018 01:16

Honestly Bespin. Start a thread on something you want to talk about or stop telling us to guess what you find interesting.
