This was an interesting read. It seems IW has taken to channeling Katie Hopkins. I'm not going to try and pull it apart as there is so so much wrong with it...

"I’m sure most people who use the site are decent folk. They want nothing to do with the rabid mouth-frothing going on by so-called “feminists.”"

IW doesn’t have much between the ears. Everything they say and write, seems to confirms this.

Not content with peak transing the nation on CBB, India has now moved on to peak transing Twitter!

Seriously, this stuff is ridiculous. Prams? That "women know your place" Harry Enfield sketch wasn't intended as a how-to.

R0wantrees · 24/04/2018 21:10

Its interesting to see who amongst the TRAs are celebrating India's 'brave' stance....

"You are allowed whatever personal boundaries you want. But you don’t get to claim the term feminist until that boundary is inclusive of, and you promote the freedom and liberation of ALL women, including transwomen. Cause transwomen are women."

You don't get to claim the term feminist until you let men decide what feminism is and ensure that you don't have any boundaries against them, uppity women.

Ffs talk about invalidating someone’s experience, I think these people need to be taken to see what the Nazis actually did. It’s so fucking insensitive to claim that there’s any comparison between not wanting self id and mass genocide.
Seriously. It actually makes me feel sick.

Am I the only one who got the memo to run up a dozen very large banners to line Pall Mall, then?

/s obviously (though it also obviously needs saying out loud ATM in case of disingenuous screen shotting)

thebewilderness · 24/04/2018 21:23

I think that IW had an epiphany at CBB that caused IW to change their position to favor pre op transgender identified males access to women and Self ID. You could see it on IW's face when they realized that not even they believed what they were shouting.

R0wantrees · 24/04/2018 21:28

thebewilderness i think its much more recent...

busyboysmum · 24/04/2018 21:29

It's always made me laugh with IW that you would change yourself into a middle aged woman and expect men to be falling at your feet. Big mistake there. I see a lot of bitterness in IWs behaviour TBH.

And yes IW is the perfect person to peak trans the nation.

Ellenripleysalienbaby · 24/04/2018 21:32

God, the fact that they keep mentioning that Section 28 thing when they must know by now that that was a sarcastic comment from someone on their side shows that, once again, they haven't got a leg to stand on. They can just fuck off.

Oh and that doctor can fuck off too.

R0wantrees · 24/04/2018 21:37

Maybe India and LibDem LGBT+ twitter folk etc are hoping for another Stonewall rally?

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 24/04/2018 22:03

The fact they KNOW they are spouting lies as truth makes them pretty evil.

If you're reading, India, seek help and be kind! Go to chapel/church/mosque and get spiritual help in learning how to control your anger - you need it!

OlennasWimple · 24/04/2018 22:10

On the day when Jewish leaders in Germany are urging caution, including suggesting men do not wear the kippah in public in case of attacks and Jewish leaders in the UK are expressing disappointment with their meeting with Jeremy Corbyn, following sustained criticism and allegations of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, it's actually incredibly crass and insulting for IW to try to draw parallels between an online forum that happens to be mostly used by women, some of whom are saying "hang on a minute, can we just talk about these proposals to change the law in a way that could really adversely impact me", and 1930s Germany Angry

Can anyone on Twitter tag in some people like Lynne Featherstone, Luciana Berger, Ruth Smeeth, Dominic Raab (all Jewish MPs), Melanie Phillips, Emily Maitlis, Vanessa Feltz, Will Self (all Jewish writers / journalists), Jewish Chronicle etc?

I agree teacup. My children are part Jewish, I feel the rage when the Nazis are used to mean “someone who disagrees with me and isn’t afraid to say so “ .

PencilsInSpace · 24/04/2018 22:24

Can nothing be done about prick news?

This was made obvious with the behaviour shown on CBB. You can have as much surgery and identify as you want but you cannot change your biology or your age.

I think IW genuinely sees themself as a young woman.

Don't we all? Except when our joints remind us or we catch a glimpse of that old person in the mirror.

Pratchet · 24/04/2018 22:36

It's extremely anti Semitic to do this. Repellant.

Ereshkigal · 24/04/2018 22:38

Yes but India has changed appearance considerably and had surgery etc, not just grown older bit by bit without noticing until the mirror shock. As pp said it must be quite frustrating to not look like your idealised picture of yourself even when you completely change your looks.

PencilsInSpace · 24/04/2018 22:40

The owners of prick news appear to be Jewish (no, I don't understand either).

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 24/04/2018 22:41

Can we not do the looks thing?
