A twitter account is saying that stickers in Manchester Oxford Road station have razor blades behind them put there by TERFS. If you are terfblocked you won't be able to view.

I think you might be right

I guess women concerned about the current consultation in the UK are meant to have flown out to the US to put stickers in public toilets there despite the British government not much caring what Americans think about their consultation.

thecatfromjapan · 06/09/2018 01:00

Honestly.

The whole: 'Yeah, the police came and they were like yeah ... no ... yeah ... no fingerprints on the sticker, no ctv ... yah ... no ....'

It's a bit: 'I have a boyfriend, you don't know him, he's at another school, in another town you've never heard of, we kiss all the time.'

AngryAttackKittens · 06/09/2018 01:05

Do you ever feel kind of embarrassed for TRAs?

Haha. Exactly.

It's the equivalent of showing off, like, all your lovebites - which all happen to be on your upper arm.

Erin has just posted they're "too anxious" to go the BTP.

Surprise. But don't worry - they're looking into it anyway. One of your kind friends tipped them off. But it didn't happen, did it.

ToeToToe · 06/09/2018 01:18

It's worse than the other lie that has doing the rounds - that Mumsnet is content blocked because it's a "hate group". Bollocks. Mumsnet is content blocked because we swear, talk about sex, anatomy, porn, bumsex at centreparks, and have a sex topic.

There was a hilarious DM piece a while back that expressed shock that women talked about sex on mumsnet. How the fuck do the think most of us ended up on mumsnet?? By having sex, you doofuses.

ToeToToe · 06/09/2018 01:21

*I know there are non-parents on Mumsnet, and you are most welcome. But damn. That article was unbelievable. "Women talking about sex and politics?! We thought you only talked talked about prams!"

AngryAttackKittens · 06/09/2018 01:30

Immaculate conceptions, every one. Obviously.

IAmNotInvisible · 06/09/2018 01:31

Its late, so just checking I have this straight:-

Zoey - lives in USA. Reported to a business owner that they had been badly hurt by razor blade hidden behind a sticker they were removing. Reluctantly later reported incident to CMPD - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. No hospital treatment required, just disinfectant - ouch, must have hurt. Has photos but refusing to post any because mums netters are reading their twitter. Currently revelling in new found twitter followers suggesting they should do leg pics (?).

Meanwhile, Erin in the UK - posts a warning of razor blades under stickers all over Manchester Oxford Road train station but doesn't report this to the police (were these stuck in public toilets, i don't recall this being specified?). Someone else replies to Erin's tweet and tags in Gtr Manchester BT Police who respond asking for further details and they will investigate. I've had a quick google and I can't see police warnings about this which is a bit concerning given the danger - nothing on either their twitter or ManchesterOxfordRoad twitter feeds. Erin later posts photos of Erin's left hand fingers saying "my hands are fine". Anyone notice Erin doesn't actually say anything about how or when the cuts across those fingers actually happened. Good to see they're healing nicely though.

ToeToToe · 06/09/2018 01:39

That's pretty much it.

The tweets initially claimed "badly cut" and then went to "minor cuts" - which really does remind me of my children. You know "He ht me! My arm's broken!" - "there! there! see that mark!" Me: "you'll live."

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/09/2018 02:14

What I'm confused about is this. For this to make sense T*RFs must wish transpeople and allies harm. Like fascists wish PoC and others harm. But is that the case? Actual literal (not 'literal') physical harm? Of course not. It's simply not logical. And as Judge Judy says "If it doesn't make sense, it's not true."

ToeToToe · 06/09/2018 02:21

Hey erin, we see you too.

Please do pop along to BTP, because, well, just because we don't believe any woman would do this. We just don't. We're not violent. We're feminists and a lot of us are parents. We want to raise awareness of the changes to the GRA, but we wouldn't inflict violence on users of Manchester toilets, on cleaners, or other women and girls. Or transwomen, come to that. So come on.

ToeToToe · 06/09/2018 02:29

Oh, and now the tweets are protected. Righteo.

ToeToToe · 06/09/2018 02:30

Someone's pants are on fire, I think.

IAmNotInvisible · 06/09/2018 02:35

Hmm, I've just realised Erin does say razor blades under stickers were "plastered all over the toilets".

Still shocked though given the danger to so many innocent users of the facilities that Erin chose to announce to twitter followers rather than report. Although given it's so late I could have missed the tweet where Erin claims to have carefully removed said offending stickers and blades, presumably disposing of them carefully in a sharps bin and thus avoiding a repeat of Zoey's appalling injuries. Pics would have been nice for the press though.

IAmNotInvisible · 06/09/2018 02:39

Erin and Zoey's tweets both protected. Maybe the police ARE investigating?

HavingALittleBabyToolshed · 06/09/2018 02:47

There are screen shots though, no?

ToeToToe · 06/09/2018 02:49

You'd think people would want to be completely open about such a violent crime against them, wouldn't you? After the way they tweeted about it.

I reported the PM sent by the creepy troll but I hop the post is left up for everyone to see who they are.

sausagebap · 06/09/2018 05:03

i dunno, hitler had one ball and a piss fetish so he probably would have been right at home on tumblr.

ALittleBitofVitriol · 06/09/2018 05:06

Lol.
People who are so fluid with reality have no problem telling big porkies. End justifies the means, evil t**fs are evil, and all that...

Mamaryllis · 06/09/2018 06:07

Oh eaty darlin’ We’d be all sad and aweepin’ if there was the faintest chance that any of it HAD happened. But as it’s all a fantasy of you and 404 and a nutter on the other side of the Atlantic, it’s ok to point and laugh.
On the other hand though, you should tell your mates not to try and discredit a perfectly safe political act by trying to shove razor blades behind already stickered stickers, because they might get into trouble with the polizei. K?
Silly boys. No GC women are playing with razor blades. What utter rot.
