Apology

[lisamuggeridge]

Apology for deraiing that other thread. I intended to comment as an extension of the stuff about elevating trans voices. I do not retract ANYTHING I said BUT I do regret that it derailed the thread and should have moved it elsewhere.

Don't worry about it, Lisa, the Hayton article thread is now back on track and the other one was pretty much doomed from the outset.

(Can we have a hug icon or would that be un-Mumsnetty?)

I'm glad you're here, Lisa.

I think we've all been guilty of derailing in the past - I know I have

Yes, threads get shifted sideways all the time.

All long threads stray from OP at some point; that's the nature of conversation. You made a valuable contribution - no apology necessary.

Have a and

Just stick around Lisa and don't get baited into losing your rag!

Meh it happens, it's no big deal. And you were commenting relevantly on trans v women's voices (it's not like you were discussing breakfast ), it just meandered a tad :)

Thanks Lisa.
I'm grateful for the shift of location. That particular thread feels quite significant and I think it's more powerful to leave it as a single topic.

Nice to see you on mumsnet

If anyone attempted the breakfast convo on the new thread this is how it would go.

Some users - I think I might have eggs for breakfast?

OP - Why do you want to oppress women, who also have eggs?

Some users - ...what?

OP - So you admit that you think women should be oppressed, especially if they're members of WPUK

Eggs might be acceptable, so long as you foraged for them

WATLP

(What about the lazy people)

Slugs. Or pot noodles

If you gather slugs in a bowl and you pour salt on them you get a sauce. #primalcooking Thats what am doing to my squirrel.

You're a valuable voice and activist Lisa - a great role model for me.
