We have to acknowledge that we have largely achieved our successes by flying under the radar”, (then) Transgender Law Center Director Masen Davis stated eighteen months ago, “It is a secret at Transgender Law Center and I’ll ‘come out’ today. We do a lot, really quietly. We have made some of our biggest gains: that nobody has noticed

That's a quote from 2013.

Well now that women are noticing and collating, they are so afraid of the exposure that they cannot bear to see their work listed and described. In many ways, this is a good sign: of how their confidence and status is so deeply fragile, and they know it.

They ought to go into the baby names section

Feck I was scarred for life in there.

That can get rough in there

^Apologies. In my last post, swap "TRA" with "person supportive of their position and critical of the GC mumsnet feminist position" for accuracy. Accuracy is something I care about.

He's really not that far from me. If I offered an appointment with him, I'd refuse.

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 16:52

Fuck me, they are really going on about MN and drunks. Ha ha.

Oi, dafties, have some Gin

Well quite, even their examples of us being horrible, aren't even us. Poor poppets, it's so difficult for them, they have to make it up and screenshot it.

Still, I imagine they want to deflect us from talking about transactivists, because they really don't like that. So I'm going to wonder out loud how the investigation into Jess Bradley, who founded TELI, is going? Anyone seen any updates from the NUS since he was suspended for (allegedly) posting pictures of him flashing in public?

I found it particularly galling that just a few weeks previously he was talking on Sky News about gaining access to women's facilities, and consulting with the government on changes to the GRA.

Fucking hell.
Grown women drinking alcohol?
And swearing?
Don't we know that such behaviours are most unbecoming, and will likely lead to a complete breakdown in society?

Enquiring emojis wish to know.

12th and RatRolyPoly are pro TRA.12th is fairly new, but Rat has been around for ages, wringing her hands about how mean we are for giving a crap about women and girls over and above the braveandstunning. There's never much clarity in the critique, but Rat assures us she's extremely well educated in the relevant areas, and can therefore pretend to fence sit with much authority.

What both these posters are not is Gender Critical, so to quote them saying horrible things and chuckling about it, and pretend that they are an example of GC feminists on MN, is par for the bloody course lying by the TRA machine.

Angryresister · 29/08/2018 16:55

So the thread about these people has now been vanished? Why? They are normal y proud yo granero such attention...

ToeToToe · 29/08/2018 16:56

Anyway, I'm about to start my second bottle of gin of the day - they don't call it mother's ruin for nothing, then I'll bung some Bird's Eye fish fingers on for the kids tea Wink Just kidding Grin

SquishySquirmy · 29/08/2018 16:57

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 16:58

See now I have to keep posting the repeat of the LIE

@BraveAndStunning. It wasn't a lie, it was a mistake, owing to MN FWR having become indistinguishable from satire.

Angryresister · 29/08/2018 17:06

Sorry ...SPanish keyboard!

SquishySquirmy · 29/08/2018 17:07

Can you find any comments which bear any relation to the one quoted that aren't "satire"? Should be easy-peasy given how indistinguishable the two are Smile.

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 17:07

It was a lie. Rat's reposnse was deliberately cut and the lie repeatedly posted by that poster. The retweeters could not have known of course.

TheCountryGirl · 29/08/2018 17:09

@BraveAndStunning. It wasn't a lie, it was a mistake, owing to MN FWR having become indistinguishable from satire.

They are using you, targeting you and insulting you to make a ridiculous point and you are ok with that? Get some self respect.

SquishySquirmy · 29/08/2018 17:09

You on twitter 12thGuelph ?
Guess you wouldn't mind correcting the mistake, seeing as it was an honest one!
Or @RatRolyPoly will. Because of course it was an honest mistake, so you wouldn't want to let it stand!

LangCleg · 29/08/2018 17:10

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Poor Rat! Slagged and defamed off by the TRAs. After all that work put in here on their behalf.

Is it gin o'clock yet?

IncrediblySturdyPyjamas · 29/08/2018 17:14

Poor Rat! Slagged and defamed off by the TRAs. After all that work put in here on their behalf.

Oh dear. 12th and Rat racists.

Who knew?

picklemepopcorn · 29/08/2018 17:19

Is that the thread about 'who the TRAs are' gone? Was there a Message ? I wasn't on it, just lurking.

TheCountryGirl · 29/08/2018 17:20

At least Bespin stopped sticking up for them after he saw how duplicitous they were in attacking him who was on their side.

BraveAndStunning · 29/08/2018 17:22

I think 12th had the integrity to put them right, if I'm reading the situation correctly.

12th You are not responsible for that person cutting out Rat's reponse to create the lie. Completely dishonest of them, but entirely bloody predictable.

They are are now slabbering on about women and gin. Talking of which....

Maryzsnewaccount · 29/08/2018 17:22

12th is plopping all over the place and probably delighted to be quoted on twitter.

littlbrowndog · 29/08/2018 17:24

GIN 😝😝💪💪🍸🍸

SquishySquirmy · 29/08/2018 17:24

Good for 12th then if that's the case, Maryz
