As the last one filled up, right when the owner of the Twitter account responsible for at least two MNers being harassed and one receiving death threats and hopes that her unborn baby would be stillborn

Well, Amal, if we're commenting on inside as well as out, it's probably best not to say what we think or it will be deleted as a PA (which always used to mean attacking a poster on the thread. I miss those days)

Ereshkigal · 05/05/2018 09:56

LOL! But true. That's why Shon writes word salads about shifting constellations and Paris goes Yay! Got wolf whistled by a builder and his bum!

YY!

BeyondParody · 05/05/2018 09:57

"Shon is basically the trans George Osborne, posh as they come, whereas Paris is working-class, served time in prison."

Does that make Paris Lees the trans Tony Adams?

Beyond: I'd go with Mancunian candidate.

Pratchet · 05/05/2018 10:01

Lol manchurian I mean

Amalfimamma · 05/05/2018 10:03

@BeyondParody

I will go no further in my internal assessment or neither shon nor Paris as to avoid hurting their feelz.

Because we all know their feelz are more important than anything else. If shon hadn't blocked me on Twitter (despite never actually interacting with him) he'd know first-hand what I think of him 😇

SF is a legend - in SF's head. No-one knows who SF is.

BeyondParody · 05/05/2018 10:46

I'll repeat - as he said it again this morning - DH is still under the impression we are talking about Sinn Fein

@NotTerfNorCis

"Okay so the organisers wanted a transwoman and not a transman, and you see this as prejudice against transwomen? I'm guessing if they'd wanted a transman, you'd be just as fuming?"

I wonder why they did want a trans woman and not a trans man?

NotTerfNorCis · 05/05/2018 11:24

I wonder why they did want a trans woman and not a trans man?

SF thinks it's because they wanted to pitch a transwoman against evilterfs. Most likely it's a sign that trans men don't have much status - not in the TRA movement and not in the media.

I think it's because they want to talk about access to female spaces. So it would be more relevant to have a male transactivist on the opposite side.

I mean, isn't this obvious? I don't understand what Shon's objection is. There are so many internal contradictions in this ideology, adherents are forever tying themselves into knots.

Ereshkigal · 05/05/2018 12:09

don't understand what Shon's objection is.

I feel Shon is being somewhat disingenuous.

Alarming rates of violence for trans people in the UK. I genuinely hope thats not true, and I don't think it is either.

What on earth is with the kicking off about no trans people in the media? Given selfID is desirable, how does Shon know there are no trans people in the media (ignoring the trans people we know are in the media)? Anyone could be trans, as all they have to do is say so. Also apparently many trans people are stealth and pass 100%. So again, how does Shon know that there are none? Finally, if 'transwomen are women'...there are many women in the media. Not as many as there are men mind you, but plenty.

Its just ridiculous.

R0wantrees · 05/05/2018 15:49

The issue of transmisogyny, which I understand is the 'privilege' of those people who identify as trans men (so born female?) over trans women was also a key point within some NUS discussions/policies (?)

It comes up in the discussion of NUStrans 18

The criticism against Mumsnet has now cropped up on Medium:

NotTerfNorCis · 06/05/2018 00:55

CursedE says he was banned for saying 'cis'. Surely not the whole story? I didn't see his posts at the time.

Pratchet · 06/05/2018 01:01

Apparently mumsnet is mumcentric 😱

Pratchet · 06/05/2018 01:03

Using google algorithms as proof is really saying 'look all my friends agree with me'. Google murdered women and you get murdered trans'women' due to the algorithms.
