Where does the right to a private life end?

Apparently we aren’t supposed to talk about Susie Green and their child (now adult) as they have a right to a private life.

If we are discussing what they have said/endorsed in main stream media then how is that a breach of the ‘private life’?

Totally agree with this thread.

Amalfimamma · 06/05/2018 17:07

If anyone has put personal information in the public domain it is immoral to then demand it not be talked about.

Censorship is it's correct name.

QueenOfQuacks · 06/05/2018 17:10

Once you've put information about yourself in the public domain you can fuck off trying to tell people they can't talk about it or have an opinion on it.

Sarahconnor1 · 06/05/2018 17:11

If it's already in the public domain then it's no longer private. You can't demand infirmation you put out are then not talked about especially if you are using that information to gain publicity and power

IdiotsInCharge · 06/05/2018 17:53

So presumably we can talk about Susie’s child Jamie/Jackie’s gentials as the child is now at least 25 years old and have put the information
into the public sphere?

Apparently not @IdiotsInCharge

See the MNHQ post on the thread about posieparker...

LizzieSiddal · 06/05/2018 18:02

I fully expect MNHQ have taken legal advice about this issue.

If Posie can be questioned under caution, for discussing this child, MN could also find themselves in trouble. They cannot risk a legal case, they need to protect themselves and I don’t blame them.

PermissionToSpeakSir · 06/05/2018 18:09

I think we need to take aggressive action against these people (probably advised by Stephen Whittle) who are abusing privacy laws.

Did you see Maria Mac's attacker try to pull that stunt in court? Saying they were worried about being 'outed'.

This 'be able to do what the fuck you want even if it is illegal and not have it discussed public because you claim to be 'trans'' privacy law needs to be abolished.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 06/05/2018 18:11

I get the legal risk to MN and I think it's a very real risk given the way SG has gone after Posie.

But MN could at least be upfront about it, instead of implying that we are deviants for talking about it

PermissionToSpeakSir · 06/05/2018 18:12

The reason why these people have been getting away with passing all these unjust laws is because no one noticed - it was all very stealthy.

And you know what.

It is being noticed now.

Was SGs child on the Child Protection register? Because they should have been. Social services failed.

Ereshkigal · 06/05/2018 18:15

I agree.

LizzieSiddal · 06/05/2018 18:17

To be fair to MNHQ, this isn’t the first time they’ve asked posters not to talk about individual children’s genitalia. I’m sure they warned about it months ago.

PermissionToSpeakSir · 06/05/2018 18:20

Also - wrt to things like Roman Polanski drugging, raping and sodomising a 13 year old back in the day @KateMumsnet @MNHQ - can we discuss this violating crime? It was horrible and discussing it is discussing the intimate body of a minor (although she is probably in her 50s now I would have thought).

Can we not discuss this case because she was 13 at the time it happened?

IdiotsInCharge · 06/05/2018 18:22

Jamie/Jacky is clearly not a child. Nobody is talking about a child or a child’s genitals. They were a child - but not any more. They also put their information into the public domain as an adult. So what is the problem?

Did I read that there' s a biopic on Susie Green being made, starring Anna Friel, or was that a bad dream?

A. Thats 'Marcella' series 2 fucked for me and B. with the level of self publicity inherent in a biopic, how can there be any sense of boundaries to what is discussed elsewhere?

Oh so 'not' a biopic then - just a drama with SG as a consultant who says “they [the producers] very carefully made sure that it involved people with lived experience of this.”
Arse; I enjoyed ''Marcella.

That sort of programming is dangerous - imagine other parents who are scared of 'God' and think it is possible that 'God' made a mistake with their (probably gay) child. Setting up this woman who ironically played God as a hero - it might give them ideas - much to the detriment of their child's health, fertility and bodily integrity.

It is so dangerous.
