Earlier today the Trans Park Run thread was deleted in its entirety because SOME posts alleging cheating were deemed to be 'not in the spirit' of MN.

We have a thread about that running.

I have just been deleted on the Heather Peto thread for posting this:

"Bless..."

A post intended to be mildly dismissive.

That was deleted for breaking talk guidelines.

Give me a fucking break MNHQ.

"Bless..." gets a deletion!??!?!

TRA really have got you on a short chain, haven't they?

Seen through you though, eh?

Please do elaborate.

My cat would scratch my eyes out if I ever dared to shake a lead at her while cooing ‘WALKIES!’

Hmm. I wonder if I could get it written into law that my legs no longer legally identify as scratching posts.

FermatsTheorem · 30/04/2018 23:42

Your cat would probably decide that her claws self-ID-ed as "lovely massage devices, Tru and massage whatever your lower limbs were now identifying as. Cats are Machiavellian that way.

TERFragetteCity · 30/04/2018 23:42

It's like MNHQ had an awayday and left an intern in charge...of the delete post button but not the delete thread button.

My old cat once fell in the bath with me, Truscum. I did try to tell him that my stomach and shoulders didn't identify as perfect for shredding but for some reason he just wouldn't listen.

Supermatch - re "I was giving a reason why it's not ok to say some of the things you've said such as "trans women are not women/ female"... because it goes against the legal position."

I already answered this dowthread.

"Legal position" is that everyone under 16 years of age is a child. That doesn't mean a post-pubertal fully-developed 15-year-old is actually biologically a child. It just means she is considered one in the eyes of the law.

It is not against the law to say that person is a young adult and not a child, despite what "legal position" says.

As I said downthread and you obviously didn't understand, you need to make the distinction between what is legally accepted and what is actually true.

Truscum · 30/04/2018 23:46

AngryAttackKittens cats seem to have about as much respect for boundaries as TRA’s do!

ErrolTheDragon · 30/04/2018 23:46

Ach, I have to go to sleep now.

Me too.

SupermatchGame · 30/04/2018 23:47

I cannot see the medical profession grouping transwomen with women.

Royal College of Psychiatrists Good Practice Guidelines:
"Once a Gender Regulation [sic] Certificate has been issued, the applicant must, in accordance with the provisions of that certificate, be identified as a man or a woman and not a ‘trans man’ or ‘trans woman’.

That's psychiatry. Hardly a medical consensus. You might find the video about transgender medicine enlightening.

AngryAttackKittens · 30/04/2018 23:50

It is quite funny to imagine an adult getting into the office tomorrow morning and going "WTF happened last night?"

RefuseToDenounceBiology · 30/04/2018 23:50

The inmates have taken over the prison.

SupermatchGame · 30/04/2018 23:50

that you have access to reports

No idea what you're talking about. I'm dreaming already. Can't be real.

AnitaLovesVictor · 30/04/2018 23:51

That's psychiatrists.

If you went to A&E with abdominal pain, or chest pain, you can bet they want to know your biological sex, rather than (or as well as) the gender you identify as.

Approx 80% transwomen keep their penises - you can bet they'll be having prostate exams rather than smear tests.

RefuseToDenounceBiology · 30/04/2018 23:51

The fraudsters have taken over legislation.

MipMipMip · 30/04/2018 23:51

Flowers for Red and Tru. If sorry that you are caught up as you are.

Thank you all for being far more eloquent than me and (not literally with physical violence) fighting the good fight. It's reassuring to know such people are involved in this.

paxillin · 30/04/2018 23:52

SupermatchGame, transwomen have very different risk factors for diseases to women. The physiological reality cannot be tricked by a law. Psychiatry is outside my expertise, I imagine a psychiatrist will of course refer to a transwoman as a woman, as will a gynaecologist checking for breast tumours.

If the gynaecologist is unaware of the trans status, it would be to the patient's detriment.

MipMipMip · 30/04/2018 23:53

Also would it be an idea to request this be moved to Site Stuff? It is about @MNHQ's moderation procedures after all.

Thinking of starting a Sanity First* political party. Anyone fancy joining?

*Any connection to Britain First is to think they are dangerous oiks.

thebewilderness · 30/04/2018 23:54

There have been cases where males demand pap smears because they are that desperate to have their delusions affirmed. I do so wish they could get the treatment they need to reconcile to reality.

LightofaSilveryMoon · 30/04/2018 23:54

TIMs must be sent appointments for smear tests!!! Otherwise, smear tests are transphobic!

Yes, @RefuseToDenounceBiology, I agree!

AnitaLovesVictor · 30/04/2018 23:54

The gender ideology believers (it's indistinguishable from a religion) have taken over biological reality.
