What a great way to protect sex offenders who want to hide their past, and to get rid of feminists.

Right after Wordpress suddenly added that to their rules as well:

Legally mandated belief and enforcement to lie, eh?

What times we live in.

There you go then, that's why it- people obviously do it

Random it there!

Good to know what's next? Not sure what that means.
It's there for anyone who wants to see it, it's not exactly hidden.
Weetabix must think so too if she's already said it as well.

But people LOVE pointing out Tommy Robinson's real name. Some refuse to call him by his preferred name of "Tommy". Surely, those calling Tommy "Stephen" should be silenced too? I'd love to see the look on LOJ's face when he's told that!

Weetabix must think so too if she's already said it as well.

Verbeena all we learn from this is that you and Weetabix share similar perspectives on how women posting should construct their sentences and both of you have chosen to express this complaint today.

That's unlikely to be surprising news to many.

Well stands to reason that not everyone will share the same viewpoint, so there'll be more than one of us? Oh, and I don't care how "women construct their sentences" I was just saying why the misgendering etc will be banned - on the surface it sounds ridiculous to ban it, but it runs deeper than that.

That's unlikely to be surprising news to many.

No.

What is the difference between 'misgendering' and 'correct-sexing'?

So first it was not to call a transwoman 'he', then not to use 'they', now not to use their current name? It all leads us down one road: to force us to use she for a transwoman, even if they are woman hating misogynists or in the case of Karen White, a rapist.

1984

now not to use their current name?

Nobody's saying you can't use their current name?
Of course you can use their current name.
If you're referring to what I said upthread that's not what I said at all.

I meant the repeated use of someone's name in one sentence as they refuse to acknowledge anyone as a transwoman so won't use she.

I haven’t seen anyone refuse to acknowledge anyone as a transwoman. As a woman, yes. But not as a transwoman.

I won’t be compelled to say something I don’t believe.

If you ban me from saying ‘they’, I’ll use their name. If you ban me from using their name I’ll use any of the infinite numbers of combinations of letters the English language provides and you can fucking ban each of those in turn.

I think it is what you said Verbeena

Rules now are:

Must not use previous name
Must not use sex related pronouns
Must not use current name in place of chosen pronoun
Must use chosen pronouns

Any breach of rules is harassment

You think calling Ian Huntley, the rapist and murderer of young girls, a man - is harassment and intolerance?

When it comes into Ian Huntley, I think we’ve extended tolerance enough by not hanging him.

My tolerance is not infinite.

Or what Aspie said.

I'm setting a timer for "Must adopt kind and welcoming facial expression" and "Must use kind and deferential tone of voice" to be added to the rulebook.

I suppose I have to maintain eye contact now too.

And not fold my arms across my chest.

It’s light learning the etiquette for meeting royalty.

And not the modern British monarchy either: Genghis Khan or Vladimir The Impaler or some other monster from history.

Address them as this, rise when they enter the room, bow your head when you speak, eat with the right fork or we’ll impale your head on a spike.

Vlad. Fucking autocorrect.

I haven’t seen anyone refuse to acknowledge anyone as a transwoman. As a woman, yes. But not as a transwoman.

I'm afraid I do. Transsexual is the term I use. I find the appropriation of the word woman more offensive and erasing than preferred pronouns.

I can tell you right now, Verbeena, I will never refer to Karen White, Davina Ayrton, Lisa Hauxwell, Clare Derbyshire, etc. etc. as "She." I will not do it.

Coming down a notch or two from convicted rapists and murderers, nor will I refer to people cheating their way to medals in women's sports as "she." I will not do it.

I will play "let's pretend" with trans-identifying people I know and like, in the same way that I address Christmas cards to my friend who is a vicar as "Reverend so and so". But that's a courtesy I extend to people I like, not a rule which I will allow to be imposed upon me.

I think it is what you said Verbeena

No,it really isn't.

This bit you said though -
Must not use current name in place of chosen pronoun
Can you seriously not see how you're refusing to accept any transwomen at all by repeatedly using their name over and over in a sentence?
I'll use India for an example due to the threads on here sometimes (sorry India if you're reading but first eg that comes to mind!)

India has said so and so, India must think we.... etc what does India think we are etc..... completely made up sentence there but you get the gist. Instead of she. Ridiculous over use of name to make a point.
Can you really not see? I think some are never ever going to get it though.

I suppose I have to maintain eye contact now too. And not fold my arms across my chest.

How do you jump to that?

Ridiculous over use of name to make a point.

The ‘ridiculous over use of the name to make the point’ is the point. We won’t be forced to use female pronouns for transwomen who hate women.

Tough shit if you don’t like it.

How do you jump to that?

Because the Oxford student union recently used ‘lack of eye contact’ with ethnic minority students as an example of ‘racism’ and there’s no example of a ‘microaggression’ against any minority whatsoever that hasn’t been appropriated by TRAs.

Has anyone asked Twitter to define "male" and "female" yet?

Tough shit if you don’t like it

I don't care what you do or don't do. Just saying why it will be banned - if you don't want to see them as women no-one can force you to, but don't be surprised if people think you're intolerant towards transpeople as a result of you not wanting to see them as she.
