I point blank refuse to refer to TW as her/she. It is an untruth and I will not be party to it. I shall refer to them by name if that is possible.

WhoWants2Know · 02/05/2018 18:13

Personally I take quite a dim view of people not being allowed to state biological facts, but there you go.

There are other forums where mods are unfazed by the butthurt people of Twitter.

AngryAttackKittens · 02/05/2018 18:15

Indeed. I had been waiting for official clarification of the talk guidelines but it's looking very much like that's no longer needed.

MorrisZapp · 02/05/2018 18:16

It's Shonnys Show!

Who remembers the late great Sean Hughes? He was properly funny.

Unlike Shonny McShonster who is frankly a waste of mascara. Never mind, I'm a premium peas mum, me. Birds Eye get my entire pea budget and I don't fuck around when it comes to my weekly shop.

Maybe they don't recruit TRA cannon-fodder interns from Leeds Uni?

Yes, they really are better than own brands, and the ziplock bags are very useful.

daysofpearlyspencer · 02/05/2018 18:20

Why are we even having a thread on anything SF says? SF is such a bore and doesn't come accross as overly bright.

Sarahconnor1 · 02/05/2018 18:21

Sean Hughes was great I miss Sean. I don't buy bird eye though does that mean I'm banned from MN?

Ellenripleysalienbaby · 02/05/2018 18:21

Perhaps it needs a millenial update.
“Who’s she, Shon Faye?”

If your mum didn't say the 'cats mother' thing to you when you were a kid, was she even your mum?

PermissionToSpeakSir · 02/05/2018 18:21

I've been thinking that I am not much keen on Reddit - but setting up a forum is pretty easy - so we could have one that was gender crit, more UK centred and even with a mother/female biology sort of emphasis.

"People are going to assume what was deleted was far worse than it actually was."

It doesn't really matter because the lying dishonest bastards are currently tweeting screenshots of other threads and saying that it's this one to 'prove' that their campaign is working

Given that Shon Faye said that Shon Faye was going to report any incident of male pronouns relating to Shon Faye, then @MNHQ had no choice but to delete posts which had male pronouns relating to Shon Faye.

Just as a Top Tip though, use shortcut keys to copy and paste First Names, so that you don't need to type 'Shon Faye' everytime. Simply highlight 'Shon Faye' then press Cnt + C to Copy and then Cnt +V to paste. So you can paste very quickly, time after time, by repeatedly pressing Cnt +V, like so:

Shon Faye Shon Faye Shon Faye
Such fun!

Shon perpetually looks like someone's just borrowed their eyebrow pencil without asking.

picks some nice frocks though.

Sarahconnor1 · 02/05/2018 18:25

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth sorry what was the name again Grin

SwearyG · 02/05/2018 18:26

Gender critical UK on Reddit seems the only answer now doesn’t it? We won’t get the lurkers who become posters (I think that’s everyone on these boards) but we will still get to talk. And I think that’s more important.

Maybe we can come back when they move on to Mothers Pride or Aunt Bessie’s as transphobic brands they have to target. Do you know how exclusionary it is to call foodstuffs after female family roles?

ReluctantCamper · 02/05/2018 18:26

Birds Eye get my entire pea budget

hang on a minute, now we're talking about something I can get interested in.

My pea budget is fucking huge, but I'm a waitrose own brand kind of gal. what's so great about Birdseye? what I am missing out on??

serious FOMO going on here.

PermissionToSpeakSir · 02/05/2018 18:27

Just seen I’ve been deleted on this thread and I honestly don’t know why. I am positive I haven’t misgendered, I was being v careful. I think deadnaming is rude so wouldn’t do that. And I’ve just been messing around. Confused

Speaking of updating terms for Millennials like 'Cat's mother'

In the war they refered to 'gremlins' in the system.

The new version should be 'Emma's Mates'. It sounds much more modern.

NotTG · 02/05/2018 18:27

I also sometimes use ‘They’ or ‘Jenner’ for example, then there are no rules broken and no rewards.

Elendon · 02/05/2018 18:28

Lest we forget.

Indeed it should be 'Chest-feeder's Pride' and 'Ze Bessie's' otherwise, you know - transphobia, worst thing ever, you hate me, you want me dead. That kind of thing.

But..... there could be a leeeeeetle problem with the Grass Up Mumsnet Account

They don't want 'TERFs' posting on it. Oh NO!!!!! Shock

What should we DO? We women always do what we are told! Halo

I would hazard a guess that Mothers' Pride is fine as long as we accept that not all mothers are women. Or something.

I would also hazard a guess that the TRAs are not coming for big businesses: they're coming for women talking to each other about things that concern women. This seems to be the biggest threat.

thebewilderness · 02/05/2018 18:32

Is this person a politician or a local celebrity of some sort?

spontaneousgiventime · 02/05/2018 18:33

God help us if MN ever advertise cows milk!
