I think it's unlocking an achievement or something.
LOL, anything to brighten up the basement dwelling.

The members have been told not to slate MN on their forum, not to say that applies in the members only area. "Just keep the public persona clean girls".

Was that post-JC?

This was the work of Sprout, when he was running the Terfhunter account, mocking a victim of FGM.

LangCleg They make accounts here, find we won't bow to their misogyny so run to Angels claiming we've bullied them. Happens every single time. The script at it's finest.

Hart’s been ‘out’ less time than I can pee for.

LangCleg No, that came from the administrator Jo Angel.

Does some kind person want to share tips for avoiding lipstick on the front teeth?

And some racism thrown in

Apologies if someone else has pointed this out

But the band can't be happening on the basis of an algorithm that blindly counts numbers of reports without any human intervention.

Because if there was such an algorithm, twitter would not work. Right wingers would blanket report left wing accounts which would be taken down. Brexiteers would mass report Remain accounts and they'd be taken down, Remained would mass report Brexiteers accounts and they'd be taken down. Hell, quite a few people would have got together and blanket reported Trump's account (every cloud has a silver lining).

But none of this is happening.

It's only uppity women being banned.

All I post on Twitter is GC stuff, I've never even had a warning. I am blocked by LM and Turf blocker but mustn't have come to the attention of the head honcho yet.

AngryAttackKittens · 28/05/2018 13:36

I'm generally not in favor of banning people but that terf_hunter person is an abusive shithead.

ErrolTheDragon · 28/05/2018 13:37

Oh, meow kittens.
But, compare and contrast with those despicable terf_hunter screenshots. ShockAngry

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 13:38

Turf Terf Maybe head honcho should be witch-finder general?

AngryAttackKittens · 28/05/2018 13:38

So saying a male person is a man is a hate crime, but making racist comments to a victim of FGM is all good? Ah, Twitter, where logic and decency go to die.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 28/05/2018 13:39

Agreed Ferm. Also, every time I was suspended, I appealed, so an actual human being look at the tweet and said I was being hateful. For recognising biology. I was not transphobic because I am not transphobic. But twitter tells me to shut up for discussing the erosion of meaning of words that describe my biological reality

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 28/05/2018 13:40

Did you see the first tweet I posted AAK? I'll post it again because it's deeply shocking.

Do 'TERFs' post tweet things like this Christine?

It seems terribly ironic how m*n who claim to be women have absolutely zero empathy with actual women.

I’m a transsexual. I am a man. I fathered children. Not all kids have a father that is active in their lives. My kids do. I will not take that from them because of my selfishness.

I am a transsexual. I will never be a woman. I spent years of one on one therapy to learn to not hate myself and accept who I am.

I am a transsexual. I am also a spouse, a sibling, a child, a parent, a neighbor, a coworker, a pet lover, a book lover and on and on. None of these things define me. They are all parts of my whole.

I am a transsexual. I have peace in my life. I have love in my life. I have happiness in my life.

Saying “TW are Women” is not a ‘positive statement of fact’ for me. It goes against hundreds of hours of therapy that got me to this place of peace.

I am a transsexual. I am real. I am not the only one with these feelings.

Allowing “TW are Women” while not allowing “TW are men” is an attack on us.

If statements of fact as we see them about 3rd parties off of MN aren’t allowed,”X is a man”, then the only fair option isn’t selective censoring, but no statements about 3rd parties.

Yeah, I saw it. If that dude hasn't been banned but Miranda has, well, that's a pretty clear statement of corporate policy that tells us some things about Twitter as an organization.

Would be interesting to see how many TRAs work there.

More a case of some women using another woman's plight to further a certain agenda.

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 13:55

ChristineHart It's an impossibility that it's you then, eh? Wink

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 28/05/2018 13:56

Christine

Just had a look at your tweets and you seem to have a rather unhealthy obsession with Miranda. You should really consider backing off trolling him.

ErrolTheDragon · 28/05/2018 13:56

NotTG - well, with you and Miranda on this thread we definitely can say 'TW are men'.
