And contacted AI, and made it very clear my membership is over, and why.

Fuck no. Faye has done some terrific work and I think she’s a very good choice.

ToeToToe · 15/05/2018 21:19

Yes, dinosaursandtea makes a valid point.

Telling kids to get tits early, and be sluttier than you are, is terrific work. We should do more of that. Hmm

It's not creepy at all.

MoleskinMittens · 15/05/2018 21:27

I contacted AI about this. I sent a very brief email quoting Shon Faye's tweets and attaching screen shots. At no point did I refer to the fact that this person is transgender. I received an incredibly patronising cut and paste response, which failed to address the issues I raised and as such, will be cancelling my membership.

ToeToToe · 15/05/2018 21:59

Every single woman should have cancelled AI membership years ago, when they endorsed sex work and declared sex a human right.

SuitedandBooted · 15/05/2018 22:01

dinosaurandtea. You WERE being ironic weren't you?...., or perhaps you don't like women much either, just like dear little Shon.

I'm not aware of anything SF has done for women and Google was no help, can you list 3 things?

Lichtie · 16/05/2018 13:36

Can anyone post the tweets she was replying too? Would be good to have the context in which she said it?

NotTerfNorCis · 16/05/2018 14:13

Quite an interesting interview Shon did about Genderquake here. Talks about the Amnesty thing, accompanied by lots of exaggerated head jerking, hand swivelling and hair flicking.

StarsAndWater · 16/05/2018 19:02

Shon Faye is openly misogynistic. This is bonkers. I've signed

StarsAndWater · 16/05/2018 19:35

Thinking about this, this sums up a lot of the problems I have with the current trans movement.
Any criticism of any trans woman for any reason is shouted down as transphobia.
Shon Faye can say things like they advise school kids to 'suck dick early' and when women point out that this isn't acceptable, we're told we're being abusive and trans phobic. It's deeply worrying.

  1. Cracking!
