Actress Amanda Abbington falls foul of TRA

Her crimes seem to be retweeting Helen Watts and siding with Posie Parker. A trans woman called Katie has been on and on at her accusing her of all sorts until Amanda blocked her.

This seems tto be the tweet that started it all. Katie has also had a go at David Baddiel and Harlan Coben. It's all quite mad.

And then Katie accused Amanda of bullying. Crikey.

And then a Bloke With A Beard arrived to set Amanda straight.

The twitter account 'Katie' has been very active on Twitter & has made a great number of allegations. Its been going on for a long time.

PersonaNonGarter · 05/11/2018 07:31

That ‘Katie’ is creepy. Being unpleasant on the internet is clearly a displacement activity.

Wash hair, leave bedroom, get life. I can smell that bad breath from here.

badgirlswatchagonnado · 05/11/2018 07:46

Katie is a Twitter nobody. 18k tweets and only 200-odd followers? Everyone knows this person is not worth listening to. Either a basement dweller or a sock.

KatVonGulag · 05/11/2018 07:47

Katie's twitter feed is an interesting place. Katie's doesn't seem to be a very balanced person.
No one seems to respond to her rants really though, which is good.

I wish mumsnet did the eyes looking sideways emoji. That was me looking at her Twitter.

'Katie's' tweets have found their way into quite a few newspaper articles etc

KatVonGulag · 05/11/2018 07:51

Oh god beardy guy is such a insufferable git.

Get lost you sexist piece of shit

KatVonGulag · 05/11/2018 07:55

It's interesting isn't it. I looked at Katie's account the other night and was struck by the amount of tweets verses likes.
Why are newspapers picking up quotes from people who are clearly unbalanced? Sensationalism I guess.
More wild accusations. More hits.

I don't think it's a sock. I feel that person is lonely and sad really.

FekkoThePenguin · 05/11/2018 07:57

Katiebot does spout nonsense.

badgirlswatchagonnado · 05/11/2018 08:03

Really, huh. Why is anyone listening to this person-slash-bot?

FekkoThePenguin · 05/11/2018 08:12

There is no 'bullshit' or 'bot' option when you report a post or poster on twitter. There should be

VickyEadie · 05/11/2018 08:16

I like Amanda A - she strikes me as a STRONG and intelligent woman.

WarmWishes · 05/11/2018 08:30

Katie is very helpful. To US.

RainbowsArePretty · 05/11/2018 08:51

I'm not experienced at Twitter so sorry if this is a stupid question. But hiw can a Twitter profile be a bot? If it is how can you tell?

Ereshkigal · 05/11/2018 08:57

I don't think Katie is a bot.

PurpleOva · 05/11/2018 08:59

I asked my husband the other day how easy it would be to set up a twitter-bot. He said it's just a few lines of code, so very.

You can mostly tell if they repeat the same phrases in reply to keywords.

Calling a twitter account a bot, when it might not be, is just another way to disregard that persons voice.

LangCleg · 05/11/2018 09:02

Katie is um... tireless.

Amanda A takes no prisoners. She's one transactivists would be better off leaving alone. Like Frances Barber. They won't get grovelling apologies; rather, digging in. I don't think Katie has the self-awareness to pick battles but the others should.

Oldstyle · 05/11/2018 09:03

She's not a bot. But she is obsessive, often aggressive, hyperbolic and entirely unwilling to consider any other point of view, however carefully or thoughtfully phrased. It is strange that such voices are amplified by the MSM.

AngryAttackKittens · 05/11/2018 09:06

I think a bot would probably come across as less unhinged. Katie and reality are clearly not on speaking terms.

AngryAttackKittens · 05/11/2018 09:07

And yes, a Twitter account with only 200 followers is an odd choice as a go-to when the media needs quotes.

RiverTam · 05/11/2018 09:09

Katie is a nut.

I'm really pleased to see Amanda Abbington is onside, I have a lot of respect for her and she doesn't take any shit.

PerthaBley · 05/11/2018 09:11

This person ought to be disregarded imo.

IKeepFlouncing · 05/11/2018 09:12

That TRAstweeter is on a mission of playing world hates me. One for the block list

FekkoThePenguin · 05/11/2018 09:14

I believe their anthem is the worm song.
