Yes I was really shocked reading through Pistonheads. Some really base stuff on there, 'I'd rather shag a tenpinter (woman who is only attractive after 10 pints) than a bloke with his balls cut off"

Surely Shon's battle for transgender rights should start there? Or is it...could it be...because they are mainly MEN??

LangCleg · 03/05/2018 15:36

Have any of them spent any time on Datalounge?!

leyat · 03/05/2018 15:38

It's only women they feel they're entitled to demand submission from, revealing perfectly just how entrenched they are in male privilege and male socialisation and how their whole gender politics upholds this....

Literal violence from DH, he wondered why I was ranting about fish fingers and Sinn Fein ...

spontaneousgiventime · 03/05/2018 15:43

By the simple fact it's MN being targeted it shows SF and her fans to be nothing more than BULLIES.

They don't have the balls ('scuse pun) to take on men, women are an easy (so they think) target.

Once people see this it will #peaktrans loads. There is a hell of a lot of men out there who won't accept loved ones in their family or friends as being attacked simply for being women and millions of women who won't stand for being bullied by men!

I recommend listening to Claire Fox interviewed by Julia H-B this morning at 09:23

"She agreed with the assertion that speech was being curtailed in universities.

“I think there are culture wars on campus. Many students don’t like the censorious atmosphere – they feel they have to walk on eggshells, and it’s dangerous, this call-out culture,” she said.

“We’ve seen the offence culture and people being outraged spreading outside of university campuses.”

TRAs - MRAs. Spot the difference?

Both groups want to silence women. Nope, not happening.

terfinginthevoid · 03/05/2018 16:17

What I don't get about Shon Faye, is if they want to be thought of as a woman, and want to be referred to with female pronouns, why did they change their name to .... another male name?
Isn't it just an alternative spelling of Sean/Shawn/Sion - giving it to a girl would be like calling her John.

BesmirchingMotherhood · 03/05/2018 16:21

tru am loving your scientific experiment.

Personally, I think we should stop giving translebs* the oxygen of publicity. My blood pressure would be better today if I’d never heard of Shon Faye.

*but first we need to coin a better portmanteau word for ‘people who are slightly famous entirely because of their transgender status’ than transleb.

@terfinginthevoid why does Danielle muscato still have a 5 o'clock shadow, moustache and present male?

By the simple fact it's MN being targeted it shows SF and her fans to be nothing more than BULLIES.

as @RadFemAngryBird (founder of TransOxford) commented after the actions against WPUK in Oxford

"Bullying, although surfacing occasionally, was never welcome, especially, in the LGBT circles having too many victims of it knowing only too well how much it hurts. But last night the tables have turned - and the bullied became the bullies"

Amalfimamma · 03/05/2018 16:26

Is mumsnet transphobia gone?

AsAProfessionalFekko · 03/05/2018 16:29

Where was that then? Its not phobic to ask questions or to counter dubious statements with science.

spontaneousgiventime · 03/05/2018 16:33

Awe what a shame, the MNtransphobic Twitter account has vanished. I guess they were being MN phobic.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 03/05/2018 16:37

Its a shame that with twitter accounts you can see who is really behind it. No accountability.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 03/05/2018 16:38

'can't see' not 'can see' d'oh.

NotTerfNorCis · 03/05/2018 16:43

Wow surprised it's been deleted. Violation of Twitter rules?

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 03/05/2018 16:44

Ah but you can Fekko

Daft Helen locked herself out of the TransGrassOnWomen account when switching back to her mimmymum account, which she did to prove that she was not infact the owner of both accounts. But then she couldn't get back in to GrassULike. Ooopsies!

Never was the brightest, our Helen

Ereshkigal · 03/05/2018 16:45

Wow surprised it's been deleted. Violation of Twitter rules?

Maybe MN got it taken down for slandering the site?

NotTerfNorCis · 03/05/2018 16:48

It could have been 'targetted harassment' I guess.

KatherinaMinola · 03/05/2018 16:48

I imagine they deleted it themselves because they realized they were being pillocks.

ScarletBegonias · 03/05/2018 16:49

As far as I can see, the 'mumsnetreport' Twitter account has disappeared - or, at least, "Tweets aren't loading right now" - but 'MumsnetT' is still live. Although not exactly a hive of industry, as there doesn't seem to have been anything posted in the last 20 hours.

Of course, I may be reading it all wrong, as Twitter remains something of a mystery to me.

Amalfimamma · 03/05/2018 16:51

@ScarletBegonias I get user not found. The other account exists because they've locked themselves out of it and can't get back in lol

spontaneousgiventime · 03/05/2018 16:52

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth That's it! I thought the posting style seemed familiar. Thank you.
