I came across this on McKinnon's twitter feed, and it screams out that McKinnon is a mysoginist and woman hater.

"Uh...no, women's bathrooms/change rooms are dangerous because of cis women"

Imagine the ineffective, long-standing, door-slamming, narc make rage going on right now...

["long-standing"?? Autocarumba strikes again]

Oh that is true, Nightwitch.
I just can't help laughing though. McK must be raging. Grin

Ereshkigal · 29/03/2019 18:47

RMK is not going to disappear into obscurity gracefully I predict.

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 18:47

This is their IG where they lie about what happened and what tweet got them suspended

You have a point nightwitch but I think it's helpful for people who quote her or for the people who she has gone after.

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 18:49

Also here is an article in Men’s Health Uk regarding trans athletes with a sympathetic little section about all the abuse McKinnon gets. They also have an IG post on it. I don’t have an IG to alert them to Mckinnons twitter suspension and why but someone else might like to

They’re framing it as a ‘transphobic attack’ that they were reported for saying they wanted cis people to die in a grease fire. Obviously reporting them for violent hate speech is transphobic.

Ereshkigal · 29/03/2019 18:51

They are the non gendered monarchs of DARVO, after all.

Ereshkigal · 29/03/2019 18:53

McKinnon wrote a paper about the "gaslighting" of "trans" children by their families once.

I read that as the reporting being for that 'I didn't mean it literally post'... but what that post said is irrelevant, the point is that presumably it was reported because it was by someone who'd been banned but had gone and created another account and carried on tweeting.

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 19:13

Both are from the same account I think?

First post said ‘ I am more specific, I want them to die in a grease fire’

Second one says ‘ I don’t want them to LITERALLY... ‘

On their IG they only posted the second one.

AnotherBewilderedQuoll · 29/03/2019 19:49

That is a good point, Night and I agree on one level. On the other hand, it's hilarious.
It's also nice, for once, to see Twitter actually apply T&C to a TRA such as McK's prominent self, and to have the message sent to h** fanboys that violent threats and abuse have consequences.

  • Is RK getting banned really such a good thing? RK is the peak trans sherpa. People like him are what made me take interest in the whole GC thing in the first place. Seeing people say reasonable things and getting piled on by a bunch of demented nutters like that made me read deeper. people need to see the rubbish to he posts and the people who support him.*

This is very true Nightwitch - it's thanks to RMK ill-advisedly trying to put Martina in her place and the BBC's love of using RMK as the go to person for comment on trans women in sport that the debate has taken off and so many people have had their eyes popped open.

Still, RMK has set the ball rolling, I don't think there will be any going back now that respected and popular sporting stars such as Martina and Sharron have been treated to the RMK rage and woken up to what is going on. They have the bit between their teeth now. They won't be backing down any time soon. It's not just sport - Martina has been appalled by tweets from RMK re lesbians learning "to cope" with penis sex. She's been well and truly educated and peaked.

Also I'm not so sure the suspension is permanent. RMK will be back.

As an aside, any cycling enthusiasts know about which competition RMK is planning to compete in Manchester, October? I'm very tempted to get a ticket.

CaptainMarvelBunting · 29/03/2019 20:14

I've been reading around this use of extremely violent rhetoric that the AWAs like so much, and their justifications for it. For an entrenched AWA, this stated wish for horrible deaths on their opponents is allowed because of their status in the oppression pyramid. It's from the same stable of ideas as 'punch a Nazi' antifa bollocks - violence is acceptable if your target is so far beyond the pale normal rules do not apply, and with the 'trans victimhood', an extra layer is added to this that their venting of angry threats is actually a noble form of self defence.

I'm actually pondering doing some proper research and writing an article on it, all sarcasm aside.

Ereshkigal · 29/03/2019 20:24

You really should, Marvel.

Iused2BanOptimist · 29/03/2019 21:00

And here we go. Back already.

If a woman had posted that, they'd be in a police cell right now.

PrinceOfPies · 29/03/2019 21:30

Oh im glad. So maybe people can respond with a screen shot of the actual tweet that got Rachel deleted?

PrinceOfPies · 29/03/2019 21:31

Rachel is a man
Rachel is a cheater
Rachel is a TRA.

And yea, fucking yes, 'die in a grease fire' is violent.

Nightwitch · 29/03/2019 21:32

Yay! I actually think twitters secretly GC. 😁

KatvonfeelzlikeaMAN · 29/03/2019 21:33

It was good while it lasted.

The increasingly absurd Pink News seems to have missed that news but reported this

"And, in February, tennis player Martina Navratilova claimed that it was “insane” to allow trans women to compete in sport "
