Ridiculous

Velella · 13/10/2018 18:37

Sue him Janice. I'll donate to the crowdfunder.

Budgieinaberet · 13/10/2018 18:40

I hope she sues them.

boatyardblues · 13/10/2018 18:41

Good to see the support Janice is getting on Twitter.

OpalIridescence · 13/10/2018 18:41

Me too

GulagsMyArse · 13/10/2018 18:44

GulagsMyArse · 13/10/2018 18:44

sue, show everyone what a bunch of manipulative bullies they are

Elephantinacravat · 13/10/2018 18:49

Do as I say or I will kill myself.

OP is right, they are upping the ante.

Melamin · 13/10/2018 19:22

Total bullying.

R0wantrees · 13/10/2018 19:23

I think many vulnerable people, especially children and young people in the online transgender community are at increased risk.

Those who have, in good faith, signed up to mass block tools have had a constant stream of misinformation and unchallenged allegations suggesting that 'terfs', mumsnet members etc want to 'eradicate, doxx, carry baseball bats and encourage the suicide' of people who identify as transgender.

In many cases these lies have been perpetuated by representatives from political parties and charities who purport to support and advance 'trans rights'.

R0wantrees · 13/10/2018 19:25

Samaritans guidance about discussing suicide is well-established.

It is really important.

Responsible discussion is vital not just by media but by every adult, charity and organisation who has influence on people who are vulnerable.

Oh, they are showing everyone what a bunch of manipulative bullies they are all by themselves.

GulagsMyArse · 13/10/2018 19:30

R0wantrees thanks so much for your posts here. I hadn't thought about the points you raise re blocking etc.

Thanks also for cross referring and encyclopaedic knowledge on all of this. your posts are always enlightening !

I know we need to keep talking to people, especially about the GRA, but their side are doing a fantastic job, on a daily basis over the last few months, of exposing just exactly what they are and how they operate. All the crowd funding we could do in the world couldn't have paid for the kind of publicity they are bringing upon themselves.

OK so Helen Belcher met regularly with BBC? Is that still going on?

R0wantrees · 13/10/2018 19:51

Gulags Thank you for your kind words.

Its concerned me for a long time the impact of the tweets by some twitter TRAs. The nature of Twitter being that they are bounced about and create an impression. Its really concerning the roles that some accounts which would be seen as having credibility have been playing.

Whilst those who are blocked can come out and view contentious tweets, its impossible to engage in any meaningful way and challenge the untruths, allegations and smears. So the narrative is perpetuated, absorbed and fears are heightened.

Its so irresponsible.

Trans Media Watch have a great deal of influence.
Not just on mainstream media but also politicians.

Any trans suicide in particular

Bearing in mind that tavistoke has only reported 1

Was it that one??

Charliethefeminist · 13/10/2018 20:45

It's sneaky, but the only way to demonstrate they are lying is to block them first, then you can view tweets and comment.

Velella · 13/10/2018 20:46

Sarahjconnor do you have a link to that ?

LangCleg · 13/10/2018 21:02

Sue, Janice, sue.

Just like any other abusive person-who-was-not-born-female* - these arseholes can see that they are losing control and are spinning out into more and more aggressive and ludicrous behaviour. Like all abusive relationships, the most dangerous time for a woman is when she leaves.

Utterly predictable Duluth Wheel behaviour.
