Posters jumping before they're pushed

Well MNHQ we have the start of the exodus. Posters leaving due to these new guidelines that throw women under the bus.

A poster has deleted their account today due to the upset and stress of getting a strike for saying something that is 100% true. We know it's true because TRA's posted it on Twitter themselves, yet we post it and it's kick off time at HQ

It's a fucking disgrace HQ WOMEN are your target audience yet you don't give a fucking shiny shit about us. Not a fucking shit and it stinks.

More and more women will leave and you will be left with nothing more than people who present as opposite to their birth sex sitting posting about heels, make-up, clothes and fucking knitting.

Good luck with that one.

I'm an eclair but identify as a packet of salt and vinegar crisps. Anyone who challenges me is a snackphobe.

Writersblock2 · 25/06/2018 18:22

Can I have details of the other forum please???

TerfsUp · 25/06/2018 18:22

Good one, Munchausen.

I forgot - on alternate Tuesdays, I'm a packet of Haribos.

BeyondFemaleElitist · 25/06/2018 18:33

Marmite crisps. Couldn't pick a more oppressed snack - literally half of the human population hates you #marmitephobic

Tarquin I'm against Self-ID. Its womanface with a dubious agenda, to me

Dont appropriate PoC (hate that term) in your comments - privilege loves to mention us despite never supporting or ever giving a fuck about microaggressions against us.

Particularly against black women - you'd throw us under the bus 1st

You have absolutely no idea what it's like to live with racism and denial of its perpetuation on a daily basis.

Silly comparison. Colour doesn't rub off, does it. You can't erase it and be a different person on a Sunday then later decide nah, .not black anymore🙄

LastTrainEast · 25/06/2018 18:43

TarquinTheThird It's a toss up whether you're incapable of understanding what's going on or thought you'd have some fun putting women down. I'd say the latter myself as I've just seen your other posts.

I'm a man too. Want to discuss it with me? I could get you up to speed on why removing rights from women is a bad thing.

LastTrainEast · 25/06/2018 18:50

It's amazing how poorly some people understand what's going on. It wouldn't matter if every trans person was an angel or if there were only 1 or 2 in the world.
The Self-ID thing goes deeper than that. People should at least understand the simple point that any man can go in any women's toilet or school girls changing room and they can't be challenged. They don't have to be trans and they don't have to look like a woman.

This is already happening.

I am a declared Marmite lover and I like Marmite crisps.

spontaneousgiventime · 25/06/2018 19:06

BeyondFemaleElitist Are you suggesting I'm colourist?

I also have autism and am really struggling with it all. 😔

PartridgeInAFairTree · 25/06/2018 20:13

It's heartbreaking to hear how shit this whole situation is making this group of funny and intelligent women, who I have learned so much from, feel.

I name changed to de lurk and have a go at joining in but only posted once in FWR on a thank you thread before mumsnet lost its head and its way. I understand if you want people with a more active posting history, mine is all in the anti natel threads, but I would like to be considered for the new place. I do understand why long time posters are suspicious and want to thank you again anyway for all the time you've spent patiently explaining to us

Lazyteens · 25/06/2018 21:18

I have been lurking on this board since Christmas after two twenty-something members of my family really surprised me with their views (completely non gender critical views). I have learned so much from this forum in that time but now find it very frustrating with all the euphemisms and policing of speech. Please could someone pm me the details of the new place?

I checked out 'the other place' and I prefer it here. The other place is confusing and I just don't feel at home. Please don't all defect, I had learnt so much from you all and feel deeply saddened by recent events and the sense that women feel unable to speak. Sad times.

TarquinTheThird maybe if you read some actual mumsnet posts. Coming here primed with 'things they say' isn't serving you well.

thebewilderness · 25/06/2018 22:04

We talk about Feminism and Women's Rights here on the Feminism and Women's Rights board of MN, despite MRAs and TRAs tedious attempts to change the conversation to them and their interests.

We will stay or go as we see fit.
