shit that 100% happened

Apparently this is what qualifies for 'independent media campaigning journalism'

This is 'The Canary'

www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2019/01/11/the-uk-medias-widespread-transphobia-is-highlighted-in-one-heartbreaking-twitter-thread/

And this is The Canary's source,

twitter.com/CaseyExplosion

a furry transwoman

Said furry TW's source, meanwhile is an anonymous person from an unidentified part of the UK who "was followed into the women's toilets by a man accusing her of being trans."

"The incident happened in shopping center before Christmas, where she went to use the toilet, and a man ("40's maybe") charged in after her roaring "GET THE FUCK OUT" and started beating on the cubicle door, calling her a "transgender pervert" and other things."

def happened, and the Canary & their furry source are very clear as to the reasons

"She blames anti-transgender hysteria in the UK media for inciting this incident.

That is the reason she spoke to me about this, she puts the responsibility not on the man himself, but squarely on the press in the UK for "filling this man's head with hate" (her words)."

What has happened to journalism? Twitter is now a valid source, and any old tweet is reported as fact?

I've seen stuff this CaseyExplosion tweets out, it is not remotely reliable.

Also, remember the person (I think they were in the US) who claimed that razors were being put under stickers - and put up a pic of a famous sportsman's hand injury...

I mean fgs.

There was someone on penis news blaming the murder of a transwoman in Malaysia on T*rfs. From the article it looked like a horrendous revenge attack for a robbery. But hey! Why not blame Julie Bindel.

There's a lot of transphobia against TW in Indonesia & Malaysia, but it has to do with increasingly fundamentalist Islam, not with feminists of any kind.

who "was followed into the women's toilets by a man accusing her of being trans

Well, they are trans, and shouldn't be using the women's loos, so I can kinda see what happened there...

No, the furry (Casey Explosion) is repeating a story told to them by a follower.
The person in the women's toilet was a woman with short hair. A man mistook her for a male trans person and demanded she get out.

It doesn't matter how often we say that many men don't like their partners or daughters to use mixed sex spaces, activists just cant see the implications.
I know butch women who have been challenged by men who have a chip on their shoulder about lesbians stealing their girlfriend. Its not a new problem.

Casey Explosion lives in Dublin don't they?

CaseyExplosion is the person who spread rumours that gender critical English feminists had plotted with American evangelists to derail the abortion debate in Ireland. Once CE had suggested it, it became proven fact for TRAs.

Casey Explosion is sourcing this to a unidentified 'cis female' follower in an unidentified location, so Casey's location is kinda irrelevant.

Casey does has form for lying twitter.com/CaseyExplosion/status/1016669017556340737

I was just meaning that it was unlikely to be true, given they don't live here but see it didn't happen to them but rather was reported to them.

It's a crap article but does anyone take the Canary seriously?

So the story is a slightly butch female (sporty not butch, sorry) gets harassed by a bloke?
Hardly anything new or relevant to trans people, if it is true.

It's a crap article but does anyone take the Canary seriously?
Not me. It's the left-wing version of the online Daily Mail - it's writers get paid for page impressions, so the emphasis is all on clickbait.

C asey E xplosion is a furry who seems to have links with Twitter's headquarters in Dublin. A whistleblower came out last year but their account has been taken down. I feel that something really sinister is going on. Is there any way to find out more about what is happening re Twitter and their internal workings?
