Is the OED now hate speech?

Interesting to note some of the sources of the complaints: twitter.com/Direct_PS/status/1044263398333132800

This must, must, must be picked up by the papers. It is the kind of black and white, writing on the wall, light bulb moment that would make the whole thing indisputably clear to those who may have been giving TRAs the benefit of the doubt before now.

Surely that is illegal? They can't just deem something "hate" and remove it. That must be discrimination.

I'll happily donate.

Andrew Gilligan, Janice Turner, James Kirkup, Hadley Freeman, Private Eye - please read this thread if you're out there following what's going on at the moment. Follow this up in print. If the infamous UKIP queues of immigrants poster wasn't a problem, why on earth is stating blindingly obvious facts suddenly a problem? What is happening to political discourse in this country, that racist dog whistle politics is acceptable, but defending women's rights is not?

Has anyone forwarded this to newsdesks?

Fermats I assume Posie can still lurk here even though she's a banned poster? I think tweeting to FPFW should do it otherwise?

I can't get the donate button to work - won't let me fill in an amount (I've tried firefox and chrome browsers, no luck with either).

Have they contacted the pres yet?

theredjellybean · 24/09/2018 21:38

Can I ask a very basic and probably stupid question but I have onky recently started reading these threads...where are all the transmen? Do they not have the same issues? Now I can see that transmen going to a male prison is more a risk for them than the inmates but we don't seem to hear about transmen being given men only awards (like mx bunce this week in a woman onky awards). Would transmen and all the supporters of inclusivity and lgbt (who love to confuse their fetishes and bigotry and misogynistic ideas for genuine concerns) be up in arms if some group had put ut the sign but with "man... Noun... Adult male human"

JackyHolyoake · 24/09/2018 21:41

Hee hee! This is absolutely hilarious! Dr Harrop and all the trans activists are now admitting that they know they are male or they would not be objecting in any way to the definition of woman as an adult human female. So, Posie was right, after all, if you recall that You Tube video!
