I guess what Shon means is that some cultures have a definition of 'women' that doesn't involve female biology. But it seems what's actually happening is the creation of a cultural 'third sex', like the Indian hijra.

Great idea Grin

Tom Cruise is a tossee who believes in things that I think aren’t true, things which are in fact a pile of self serving shit, and which take advantage of impressionable or vulnerable children and people.

What is most hilarious about that screebshot from that misogynistic account targeting MN users saying they think MNHQ are taking this all seriously and upping the moderation is that we are still here discussing all the same things the TA's are saying is transphobic, so what kind of win they think they have I don't know; they're certainly not stopping us which, despite their protestations to the contrary, is clearly what they actually want.

@Truscum you will get the Scientologists after us! Shock

Katie Hopkins is a tosser who believes in things that I think aren’t true, things which are in fact a pile of self serving shit, and which take advantage of impressionable or vulnerable children and people.

Come at me bro Grin

WanderinWomb · 03/05/2018 14:38

Is a tossee the person at the receiving end of a tosser. ?

"Tom Cruise is recruiter for an abusive cult. "
I bet 3000 tampax that would be deleted if a Twitter pile on happens and left if it doesn't.

@MarvelleGazelle "Sod this for a game of fish fingers. I might be off." Please don't go! We've all got each other's backs here, i hope you stay...

@NotTerfNorCis Yup SF's whole basis for defining a woman is gender, it's gender stereotypes that change across place and time, because gender is social. Take away stereotypes and SF can't define what a woman is.

Right so that’s two bets for ‘Come at me bro’ and one for ‘Bless’.

I think it’s going to be calling Tom Cruise a tossee. Because that is clearly worse than a tosser. Grin

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 03/05/2018 14:52

Well I'm going for the bless getting you deleted

And the handy thing is that the deletion note won't say exactly WHY you were deleted

Transphobia
Tomphobia
Or bless

So i can say it's definitely the bless and noone can prove me wrong Grin

DarthArts · 03/05/2018 15:02

I see SF has been very busy hitting the delete button to clean up SF's twitter account.

Nothing like erasing a lot of nasty tweets to clean up your timeline.

Pity I have screenshots

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 03/05/2018 15:09

woman is a loose, shifting constellation of biological, political and cultural phenomena which varies according to context, place and time'

Ok, let's say that's true. What would be an example of these biological, political and cultural phenomena? Which ones have shifted, and are there any that have stayed the same?

I'm particularly interested in what the 'political and cultural' phenomena which shift loosely to make women.

I see MumsnetReport is now screenshotting posts from 2016. Desperate, much?

@marvellegazelle of course, you can PM :)

Why on earth doesn't shon Faye start hassling Pistonheads

leyat · 03/05/2018 15:31

@NotTerfNorCis and the posts they are highlighting aren't even transphobic. They are on a major control trip right now.

ReluctantCamper · 03/05/2018 15:32

Ha! The burning question Scabbersley.

I've seen some repulsive transphobia on twitter from men. The Shons of this world only seem interested in attempting to police women's thoughts and behaviour though. Why can that be?
