Ah yes. Every registered user could put in a single £ coin and look - right wing, big money, wasted cash could be used for trans cuddles. Just like when they complained about an advert!

I am in, should MNHQ need the support. No matter what the quibbles I occasionally feel about those rules I will absolutely support MNHQ in hosting freedom of speech via FWR.

I got as far as “trans briefs are briefs” and had to stop for a laugh.

SILENCE WIMMINZ! Silence!

Are we all being sued yet? 'Waits with £1.00 to chuck in.

Harassment under s.26 of the Equality Act? Quite apart from the other points they’ll have to prove, good luck showing that hosting this forum - which you can only read by choosing to come here and which nobody needs to use - constitutes “unwanted conduct”.

If I were to go on pornhub and watch a whole lot of videos in which women are violently degraded could I then sue pornhub for harassment? Genuinely interested in the answer

Men are not and can never become women. #SueMe

We’ve already got a thread running about ‘trans briefs’.

Victoria’s Secret are running a new line.

^ what they said. My £ is ready.

The trans activists and dude bro woke faces are gonna learn a lesson here.....mothers can get angry over a bottle teat that hasn't been sterilised at the correct temperature. We could literally bite a motorway in half over that kind of mistake.

If you threaten us en masse with an action to silence us ..... you have no idea what strength we can summon.

You. Have. No. Idea.

LemonJello · 10/11/2018 21:44

I don’t think this terrifying threat is being met with the shock and awe it deserves.

Here, let me try.

Ohhhh noooooo!

Did that do it for you boys?

UpstartCrow · 10/11/2018 21:45

No, you are supposed to clutch your pearls and faint on to the chaise longue.

LemonJello · 10/11/2018 21:50

Righto.

“Save me! Save me!”

How was that? Do you think that’ll do it?

I lost my shit when my sister used reboiled water to make up a feed rather than empty and start fresh. I can take this on.

JessicaJonesJacket · 10/11/2018 22:37

Lemon I read your save me in a Penelope Pitstop accent and forevermore when I see a certain Twitter doc, I'm going to see him as the Hooded Claw Grin

LangCleg · 10/11/2018 22:45

I have plenty of sal volatile if anyone fancies a fainting fit?

RedDogsBeg · 10/11/2018 22:54

We can crowd fund to defend Mumsnet against this crap. Should that be necessary. The law needs testing - the trans bullies know it and so do we. There's no running away

Agreed, I'd chip in too. More than worth it to save MN and, particularly FWR, also worth it to see the apoplexy it causes the TRA's and a certain Dr when women spend their own money as they choose and not how they want us to/tell us to.

Run mad as often as you choose, but do not faint

wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 10/11/2018 23:02

I'm in.

AcerbicAndroid · 10/11/2018 23:04

You could sue them, @Tallulah. I wouldn’t fancy your chances of winning your case, though! 😀

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 10/11/2018 23:07

Thanks Android

I shall sit tight and wait to see if a helpful precedent is set

lilmishap · 10/11/2018 23:13

How is it harrasment. Logging in and clicking the feminism threads are not unavoidable actions plus the use of language in relation to beliefs is protected?

I know English, I've been told some people prefer me to use incorrect pronouns and collective nouns, I prefer not to.

lilmishap · 10/11/2018 23:16

Being told to refer to a man as a woman by him because he wants her to, is no different to her referring to a man as a man because she wants to.

Unless we are about to get a He overrules Her in law because of sex and feelings how can this work?

madmum5811 · 10/11/2018 23:19

So odd tried to find Adrian Harrop on wikipedia, he is not there. Is he a medical doctor?

lilmishap · 10/11/2018 23:33

So we moving to Dadsnet then?
