I've been lurking for the past year, and I'm absolutely overwhelmed with what's happening re the GRC etc. And the impact it could have for us and our daughters etc. Finally peak transed this week re Karen write and sent in the pre filled consultation last night. Been speaking about it at work and peak transing others. I'm absolutely on your side,

But this past week I've read loads on it all - twitter etc. Posie is a legend, I agree. The Harrop interview was on another level, and the projection stuff. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, I just wondered what the MN hive were saying about the accusations re racism/ islamophobia? Are these tweets photo shopped? I am a 22yo woman, fresh out of 'woke' uni - I dont want to be flames and I absolutely support your views but I have just been wondering about this discrepancy?

I've read loads of threads on FWR re PP but have never seen these comments mentioned - obviously they are often brought up by TRAs (obvs when you're losing an argument, you need to bring up irrelevant shit). Nonetheless, I can't see in an AIBU thread that these views would be tolerated, interested to hear what everyone thinks here? Are they photoshopped? I can't imagine everyone fangirling her if not?

"Mind you, it's like having a dog hump your leg"

Dakini is a bit boring so far, it's only "right wing right wing, I would think about who your mates are" playground level stuff so far.

Not very hopeful that it's going to get better.

Incidentally, when you go to work of a morning, do you refuse to enter the room until you've checked everyone's political leanings that day and what they have said about a range of potentially discriminatory subjects over the past 24 hours prior to consenting to work with them for the day? No, me neither.

Dakini reminds me of a good film I watched recently - Death of Stalin -by Armand Iannucci - it's brilliant satire. No-one can say anything until Stalin speaks to avoid him carting them off to be shot.

Oh dear Rufus, now you’re being all ‘soft’ and amusing again. Must try harder. 😬

Deliriumoftheendless · 14/10/2018 20:55

Oh my days, sorry it’s off topic but I’ve just twigged QuentinWinters. I thought it was a coincidence! Blush

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 14/10/2018 20:56

When god gave out heads

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 14/10/2018 20:58

When God gave out noses Rufus thought they said roses and asked for a big red one.

Ooops. Sorry. That was Rudolf. Grin

Former Lurker here to squeal my thanks to all of you fabulous fabulous ladies for helping me to understand whatever it is I needed to understand and I don't think I'm Spartacus but if it helps I'm willing to struggle in to my beige suede miniskirt and muddy breastplate and stand against the foe, once you've just explained again who exactly they are, or aren't. [Was afraid that someone might have beaten me to it but thankfully not.]

"Mind you, it's like having a dog hump your leg"
This happened to me the first time I met my prospective mother-in-law. Think I've just been triggered.

FloralBunting · 14/10/2018 21:12

Rufus Grin proper belly laugh here!

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 14/10/2018 21:13

Does your mother-in-law have the number 4 in her username, Oldstyle?

Oldstyle · 14/10/2018 21:14

Grin That would have been preferable in oh so many ways. But no, it was her fat asthmatic pekingese.

Oldstyle · 14/10/2018 21:17

My ex-MiL Dis so I'm not sure. But I suspect 666 is more likely.

Blimey Rufus - makes my lot seem positively normal. Did he improve with time? Confused

Weezol · 14/10/2018 21:27

Can I just remind everyone that Rufus is a reindeer with thumbs - I don't take that lightly.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 14/10/2018 21:29

Nope

Second time he sprayed me with a soda dispenser

Opposable thumbs my friend...opposable

Grin And you went on to marry his son? Knowing about the genes? Sir, you are a saint in reindeer clothing. Or indeed a reindeer in saint's clothing.
Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 14/10/2018 21:34

His mum was lovely

And i was very much in lust with him

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 14/10/2018 21:36

Sorry love

I meant love

Oldstyle · 14/10/2018 21:37

Sorry - realise I might have unintentionally derailed the OP's thread. But I have learned several new and unexpected things so maybe it wasn't an entirely negative move.
