What the actual f*ck?

Nor inciting violence.

Yes. Surely making a bomb threat is a serious criminal offence?

I'm confused. Who made the threat? Is it that @kfcwigger person?

Twitter bamboozles me!!

"Hidden device" sounds sinister.

I think he deliberately miss-spelled 'device' to avoid prosecution.

I think he deliberately miss-spelled 'device' to avoid prosecution.

He then repeated the threat with the correct spelling and the police cc'd in:

So this Natasha is writes academic papers with their alternate persona Natasha?

So we risk being banned from social media for calling a man a man and this fucker can make a bomb threat and his account is still active?

... and Green Party women, Communist women, Morning Star readers, lesbians, transsexuals, women who take part in Pride marches, teachers, nurses, psychologists, care workers.

The TRA lump us all together and call us "Far Right reactionaries."

How is that Twitter account still active?

I carefully didn't report the threat. I want the world to see what's going on. I did screen shot as well but having the tweet in there shows the whole thread. If others are thinking the same that could be why the account is still active.

And these are the people Mumsnet HQ support
Yep.

So this Natasha is writes academic papers with their alternate persona Natasha?
No this is Natasha Scott, the 'academic' is Natacha Kennedy (on a part time basis).

Ah, no wonder everyone keeps getting the spelling mixed up.

I guess "Natasha" is like "Aiden" is for young trans people who wish they were male.

I really want to post a link to a vibrator and ask him if that's the device

If anyone does report him the excuse will no doubt be "I meant that I had accidentally left my phone there" or some bollocks like that.

Local paper reporting that a bomb squad was called to a local address. Wonder if it's linked

Do you have a link?

Hello. I am a trans woman. A bomb threat to A Woman's Place is revolting, and I condemn it- and it appears to come from a misogynist nutter who hates feminists in general rather than feminists obsessed with trans in particular. Not a trans person.

Trans people are individuals. Trans activists are individuals. Each person who does something like this bomb threat is responsible for their own actions. No trans person has any responsibility for it.

If you want the twitter account suspended, report it.

It may just be coincidence. No mention at all in local press about the threat to WPUK though

There is a trans person who co authors with himself.

If this is all linked then it looks like it may not have been a hoax.

Women and girls are expected to share with people who are physically stronger, have been threatening us, are convicted of battery and if this is now a bomber, this is unacceptable. We can't be expected to share when we don't know who is capable of this behaviour and who is not.

I don't think anyone knows yet what has happened, who is involved or what their motives are.

Womans Place UK have been accused (erroneously) of many terrible things, by many people in the transgender community.

In the last few months many transgender individuals and organisations have been calling for 'allies' to assist them.

We are all required to take responsibilty for what we do and say. I also think we have a responsibility to think clearly about things and consider the consequences our actions may have on others.

I agree that trans people collectively are not responsible for this - I have trans friends who are utterly horrified by what is being done supposedly in their name. I also believe one of the speakers at the event being threatened is a transwomen.

However, transactivism (or whatever you want to call this current movement) promotes violence against women. Threats of murder, violence and rape are routinely used (see terfisaslur.com/). Women have been attacked for attending meetings. This has been supported by transactivists and their organisations, with further violence being called for (e.g. Action for Trans Health "we must be radically and transformatively violent"). Then you get the threats to burn down venues hosting women's meetings (with the women inside them). Masked men blocking women trying to attend a meeting () I could go on and on with examples and I'm sure many others on here could.

It's telling that when a transactivist held a 'trans culture' event in a library, the 'culture' involved baseball bats and bloodied t-shirts glorifying violence against women: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3232446-San-Francisco-Library-promoting-VAW-in-the-name-of-trans-culture

Now, I don't think this represents trans people generally - and it's not something that represents the transsexuals that have been part of my (LGBT) community for years - but this is a new, frightening movement based around extreme misogyny and violence towards women.
