I've had my first deletion Blush didnt even involve swearing....

TERFragetteCity · 07/05/2018 22:25

Would a name change appease them? TransandCisParentsnet?

Mansnet should do it.

I don't think it is my business particularly. Ask the family, or the police, or the CPS.

Child welfare is everybody's business.

We're on MN. Vanishingly few people anywhere on this site will agree that a child's welfare is none of their business even if they are on your side of the gender debate or even if they haven't realised there is a gender debate.

'AIBU to think that if a parent decides it's in the best interests of their child to have cross-sex hormones and surgery before the ages the NHS considers appropriate it's nobody else's business if they go abroad?'

Go on. I dare you.

Knowing aibu that's a thread that would go on for at least 4 threads and fireworks in every post

Double dare you, SuperMatch. Stephen Whittle found out very quickly how poorly a disregard for the safety of children goes over on a parenting board.

The TRA lobby are exploitingvthe fact that you guys want to be nice, to be fair and to be decent. They’re seeing a way in and they want to shut you down. They will not give up - you understand that right? Nothing you do short of never ever mentioning anything female ever again will be good enough. They are like the ultimate male abuser. You can tiptoe round and look pretty and keep the house nice but it’ll never be enough. No matter what you do, or how many people or posts you mod, they will keep on at you.

Excellent analogy Bowl. That is exactly the situation. Unfortunately, like many DV victims in the early days, it is all self-monitoring and self-blame, not actually realising that nothing will ever be enough to get on his right side. And maybe a few Not My Nigels thrown in, to help with avoiding the reality.

DickGirlsWithDesignerBabiesNet ?

I still haven’t forgiven SW. He was doing a grand job reminiscing about how good girl guides was for girls, and an important single sex space, even for him as a former queen’s guide. Until he started reminiscing about shagging scouts at camp and refusing to acknowledge that bunking up girls with male bodied teens wasn’t de rigueur. For a girl that went through an unremarkable girlhood and young womanhood, and enjoyed the single sex spaces available to her, he was pretty adamant that no other girl should be extended that privilege. Gah.

Non-ManNet?

PermissionToSpeakSir · 07/05/2018 23:28

SW makes my flesh creep. Someone described them up thread of being 'ice cold' about women and girls' rights - i thought it very apt.

I don't have a disregard for the safety of children. I've not said anything that could even be interpreted as that. If this particular individual case is everybody's business including yours I assume you've taken steps to involve the appropriate authorities?

And don't try to get me into trouble on AIBU thanks. Particularly as it's gone sooo well on here. Shock

Parent1net

They did try here to change school admission forms to "Parent one and parent two" here a few years ago.

No school enforced it and those few schools that did saw their admissions forms changed to read mother and father again.

They have also tried to introduce gender studies from preschool but that was also blocked and they now have to have written permission from the child's parents that the child can attend such classes.
Thankfully most parents say no.

But
We also have had the first MTF mp in Europe (we have a proportional vote). Said mp tried to write of a blob job as mp expenses and has repeating said in public that they have no desire to go the full hog regards surgery.

Bowl's right, they'll never stop. The worst they can do is post hateful things about trans people to pretend it's from feminists.

As I said, you don't understand what child safeguarding is, do you?

Yes. Yes it would.

Bowlofbabelfish · 08/05/2018 08:36

it is all self-monitoring and self-blame, not actually realising that nothing will ever be enough to get on his right side.

The way to deal with people like this is to stop walking on eggshells and hoping they will leave off, or be nice, and just walk out the door and get a non mol slapped on them.

They won't ever stop. Their aim is destruction of your business MNHQ. If you zapped all the feminist boards today they'd still keep coming after you until all that’s left is prams and kittens and grovelling servitude. theybdo not want toncompromisievthey want to destroy you.

I think you need a mindset shift from trying to broker some kind of compromise to some sort of more Gloria gaynor based stance, because if I’d built up a business like this, I wouldn’t be compromising. I’d be telling them that hate speech of all types is covered under the guidelines, and their current actions amounted to harassment
