Sky news is running a poll.
Seems like the activists have been calling up the troops.
If you use twitter, please use your clicking finger.
Hope this works

I did it earlier. It was about 78/22 against when I saw it.

Pratchet · 19/07/2018 17:36

Bump

HotRocker · 19/07/2018 17:36

Although it doesn’t matter how overwhelming the result, it’ll just be the wrong kind of people voting.

MsMcWoodle · 19/07/2018 17:39

It's 44/56 now.

Trans activists have got on it. Everyone needs to share.

bd67th · 19/07/2018 17:40

It's at 44:56 now. I suspect a TRA ballot stuffing operation is underway.

JellySlice · 19/07/2018 17:50

I joined just to vote.

OvaHere · 19/07/2018 18:02

They can brigade the voting all they like. The comments under the articles speak volumes as to what the average Sky News watcher thinks.

MsMcWoodle · 19/07/2018 18:42

Yeah. We don't stand much of a chance against their campaigning, at universities etc.
I really, really don't think that the general public understand that people aren't changing their genitals, and if they did, more would respond.

fucking hell

from the comments under the poll

Don't you mean "Should the basic rights of human beings be afforded to everyone, or just people like us?"

Coz either I get to self ID as a woman or i'll start id'ing as a fucking pissed off ball of rage and come at transphobes with a nail encrusted baseball bat

allriighty then

I think the poll will demonstrate how twitter can be used to create pile-ons.

It may be better to add comments. Not least that a twitter poll isn't representative! Wink

I clicked on the link, and it opened up into my pristine, never used twitter account. I signed up years ago, took a look around, thought "well, this is a cesspit of misogyny" and signed out again forever, not a single tweet made.

When I opened up the account to look at the poll just now, I have a single tweet that someone has put on my timeline (@ed me in?), and it says "fuck you fuck you fuck you fucking fuck you and fuck your dog too".

I felt like Malcolm Tucker when he opens up a box to reveal a cake with "happy birthday, you cunt" on it, looks confused and says "well, that could be from anyone" Grin

And it's done nothing to disabuse me of thinking twitter is a cesspit!

catkind · 19/07/2018 18:59

Cos nothing says woman like threats of violence...

R0wantrees · 19/07/2018 19:03

It is called Trans-Twitter by some in the transgender community.

JellySlice · 19/07/2018 20:08

Well, that's interesting.

My account is 2h old, I have not posted anything, just voted in that poll:

Women - Need your help
TheBiologicalWoman · 19/07/2018 20:26

It's 47 percent yes and 53 per cent no now.

Pratchet · 19/07/2018 20:51

Oh god jelly.

Even a poll they have to have. The TRA mothership sent out a signal.

Bi11yOneMate · 19/07/2018 21:00

Jelly, I just signed up to Twitter and had that before I even got to vote! Just joined 10 minutes ago. Did nothing other than follow dawn French and then went to look for the poll and got locked....

JellySlice · 19/07/2018 21:45

But can TRAs know how I voted?

JellySlice · 19/07/2018 21:48

Dawn French - ShockHmmShockHmm

Pratchet · 19/07/2018 22:05

Twitter techs probably can.

Bi11yOneMate · 19/07/2018 22:07

I wonder if Twitter techs know I followed the link from here?

Anyway, I have received registered and voted.

crayoladreamz · 19/07/2018 22:08

Voted

Pratchet · 19/07/2018 22:09

I sssume they know everything

Iused2BanOptimist · 19/07/2018 22:27
