Please MNHQ overturn Posie Parker's ban

[Velella]

That's it really.
Add a post if you agree.

Oh, yes. And MaryZ.

It's bad enough that a bunch of blokes are tying to silence women but a site started for women should know better. It's embarrassing.

Yay, 403 posts and I think I've only see 3 against the proposition.

Fully understand MNHQ will need time to give consideration to this request but hoping we see a response today.

I remember the Feminism board when there probably weren't 400 posts in a day (week?) on all threads.

She was awesome on sky. If she's reading this thanks posie!

Agreed.

Delurking to add my voice. PP is too reasonable, articulate and rational to ban from this debate. Agreed.

Delurking to support this petition

I support her ban, and a ban on anyone who highjacks feminist spaces with bigoted anti-trans views.

Appalled at the hate spewed here.

The hate on this thread

Are you a bot?? There's no hate at all?

SilverBirch

How is saying a woman is an adult human female hate speech?

How is hate speech to say I don’t want men, even those who claim to be “women” in women’s jails, hostels, rape centres and bathrooms?

How is it hate speech to want to protect my daughter from any man who wants to use the new GRA as a way to feed his fetish? Suppose I better add not all men are like that in that phrase too

Agreed. She is a superb adult human female.

Agree Bring her back

SilverBirchTree

Could you be so kind as to give some actual examples of hate?

Ta.

Again with the spewing..

silver please can you point out the actual words or phrases you find hateful?

Agree. Mumsnet was one of the few places you could be gender critical and used to be a place where you felt able to have frank discussion. I don’t always agree with absolutely everything she says, but that doesn’t negate the 90% I do. We’re in danger of becoming a society in which we cannot deal with disagreement without screeching about being offended, demanding banning, no-platforming etc.

Posie is deliberately truthful and she speaks truth to power. There are those who dispute Posie's truth - but they seek to silence rather than debate. This is a totalitarian approach. Please Mumsnet, lift the ban.

Agreed! Please bring Posie back!

Me too

Agree.
I can't believe that a website that proposes to support women would ban someone sticking up for our basic rights.

Please let them back on here.

SilverBirchTree it’s not anti-trans or hate speech to say you want to protect women with vaginas from sex-based harassment and violence.

It’s not anti-trans to point out that gender is a social construct whereas sex can be observed and scientifically measured in every cell in our bodies.

It’s not anti-trans or hate speech to say that you are concerned about a girl who fancies other girls, who doesn’t like lipstick and pink, is being told that means they are actually a boy. Or that ironically enough for all these “woke” hipsters and for all the talk of gender critical women being bigoted; the transgender movement’s biggest fans in the US and Canada are often the Christian conservatives for whom being a different gender is preferable to being gay.

Oh come on MN, sort it out.

PP you are a legend.

come on MN stop pandering to the TRAs and let PP back in!

So helpful all these 'agreed' posts

Yes it's helpful. When you're trying to establish whether there's support for an idea, you need to establish whether there's support for an idea.

Had no idea they'd banned Maryz too. She's one of my utter favourite MNers. Sensible, witty, invariably right.
