Glinner’s Xmas Break

[tarziew]

I just watched Graham’s video tonight where he says he’s taking a break from Twitter over Xmas and I realised that a) we are going to miss him hugely and b) he must be in need of some headspace. The guy is a fucking legend and has taken on this fight to much cost to his reputation, not to mention personal life. I feel such love for the man because he is the ONLY ‘celebrity’ who’s vocal on Twitter who seems to feel as aggrieved and as passionate as I do! It breaks my heart that it might be getting too much for him because if he bowed out I’d feel like they’d won.

Graham, I hope you have a peaceful break over Xmas because if anyone deserves some down time it’s you you bloody ledge.

Thank you so much for all that you do.

“Dry menopausal old women” such a dreary, male thing to say. We’ve all grown up with insults like that, water off a duck’s back mate.
Interesting spelling too. Do you think he meant fetid, or fettered ? It took me a minute or two to work out scaraficial. My mind ran through scarred and facial before hitting on sacrificial.
3/10 . Leonard has paid no attention this term and must try harder if he wants to pass his English language GCSE.

people who just can't help proving our point whilst desperately trying to prove their own are the best.

i am eagerly awaiting a cogent argument as to why it is ok to lobby for the dismantling of safeguarding and the sterilisation of children. one that doesn't screech "hate!" and isn't dripping with misogyny.

come on. this is an open forum and we can't block you and it is not feminists who are weaponising the report process.

oh and glinner you rock

thread deleted
Message from MNHQ: We've taken this thread down overnight as it seems to be causing an awful lot of reports. We've a few things to discuss about it at MNHQ in the morning but we'll let you know as soon as we can what's happening with the thread. Thanks for your patience.

I'm still pissed of that the thread re contacting lottery fund about concerns where the money is going to ethical charity is still deleted.
Some Tweeters send a pile of new members over to make offensive statements about women, cue them being reported, late night mod deletes the thread coz volume of reports.
Does Mumsnet like being controlled by Paris Lees and mimmymum?

Seems like it. Grrrrrrr my blood pressure.

That was a valid thread, asking us to send an email to stop half a million quid of lottery money being sent to a "charity" that advocates puberty blockers and surgery - which cause longterm sterility - on children.

This is a parenting forum!

Yes. What Toetotoe said.

Yes. Agree here. This is a parenting forum, we have valid concerns about the trans agenda and the impact this is having on children.

Thank you LangCleg

I found that point of view particularly powerful. All women are under threat from this bullshit, but the most disadvantaged women are under the most threat.

Yes. This movement is horrendously classist - an aspect of it which is not discussed nearly enough.

Big Lottery are reviewing the Mermaids grant - this is good news.

Charities that campaign for damaging medical interventions for children should not be receiving lottery funding. Mermaids campaigning is at odds with both the NHS and Tavistock.

Nollaig Shona, Glinner! Agus go raibh mile mile maith agat.

This raised a wry smile.

You’re VERY welcome here, Graham. it’s a much more productive environment in many ways ...

He's an absolute legend and an amazing, valuable ally. Happy Christmas @Glinner!

Glinner 🍷 I'm glad you are on a break from Twitter, gives you more time to post on here. Happy Christmas

Ha ha yes THIS!!!

🤣 👌

Twitter: sound and fury, signifying nothing
Mumsnet: armies of women used to Getting Shit Done while dealing with small, irrational tyrants.

Just seen that the grant is going to be reviewed. Pink News says it was because of the thread here, Third Sector because of the article in the Times. Whichever it was, well done Glinner!

Who is this man encouraging a pile on glinner (on twitter) MrAComerford ? He is trotting out the ridiculous, false suicide-stats for a start.
Honestly, when will people wake up ? The thread is all “ why isn't he thinking of the poor children ? “ type stuff. WE ARE THINKING OF THE CHILDREN YOU NUMPTIES. WE LIKE OUR CHILDREN UNSTERILISED.

Bowl. 😁 so true.

Who the fuck is that guy and why am I expected to give a shit what his opinions are about anything?

'Mr' A Comerford is a FTM TRA

Glinner, definitely take a twitter break, it's mad over there. Stay on mumsnet though! You can even make an anonymous account to talk about your MIL's terrible roast turkey curry

Thanks for everything graham. Merry Christmas 🎄

MRA Comer....
A wind up surely? I'm blocked so can't tell.

Mr' A Comerford is a FTM TRA

Ah, thank you.

Actually MRA comerford isn't a FTM just a bloke. I was mixing him up with someone else who looks similar in their twitter pic
