I'm so pleased to see this. I've been a big fan of Martina since I was a kid and this just makes her go up even higher in my estimation:

68K blocked. A sad 5959 faithful fan followers. Hmm

Please god, let McKinnon keep tweeting into their echo chamber. The more they get their misogyny validated, the better the exposure.

Bluestitch · 02/03/2019 20:57

Daley Thompson has spoken out now, I've not seen any other sportsmen say anything so this is good to see.

Martina speaks out!
FloralBuntingIsObnoxious · 02/03/2019 20:58

My word. They really just don't get it at all, do they? They've been lying so long, they absolutely believe that the only possible opposition to their demands is from conservative bigotry. They cannot get their heads around the fact that so, so, so many people started from the position of progressive ally, and like Martina, discovered one aspect and then uncovered the writhing, seething mass of unpleasant homophobia, rapey coercion and child welfare concerns underneath the pretty unicorn packaging.

NotTerfNorCis · 02/03/2019 21:02

McKinnon still insisting 'there is NO evidence that trans women athletes have an unfair competitive advantage. None. It's all myth and assumption'.

McKinnon thinks hormone treatment shrivels a man right down. Reduces not just muscle to the female average, but height and lung capacity too. As well as altering bone structure. Strange that McKinnon McKinnonself is still much taller, broader and clearly stronger than the women McKinnon competes against.

I don't think too many people are convinced.

FloralBuntingIsObnoxious · 02/03/2019 21:14

The magnificent Memoree on the case. Today is a good day.

Iused2BanOptimist · 02/03/2019 21:16

Martina WineGinCakeThanksI don't know what your preference is. Probably not gin or wine or cake. Anyway I hope offence won't be taken but I can't help but laugh watching the peak trans journey in real time about a year after my own education (courtesy of Mumsnet)!

Has anyone noticed that the * BBC News has changed the front page trans related feature of the day from the Sharron Davies speaking out to say womens sport needs to be protected one. It is now one headlining that Martina has apologised for 'trans cheat term'

Not allowed to have anything pro women on the BBC - of course we dont have any agenda - we are the BBC - we are unbiased @:&^()(**!

birdsdestiny · 03/03/2019 15:05

That headline has made me furious . I was the biggest champion of the BBC, in debates about them I would be the one saying without the BBC we would end up like American broadcasting blah blah. I will never defend or believe them again. Utter betrayal of women.

EweSurname · 06/03/2019 22:14

Look who’s weighed in! I’m sure it’ll come as a surprise that Lils is attacking yet another woman

Martina speaks out!
WaddIelikeapenguin · 06/03/2019 22:42

Ahhh a wee “why aren’t you paying attention to meeee” tantrum

H** pupils are huge...

EcclesThePeacock · 06/03/2019 22:44

I wonder if Martina has a clue who Madigan is, and what manner of 'lesbianleftie' (ffsHmm)

Datun · 06/03/2019 22:48

Madigan is jealous of McKinnon's notoriety.

🤣🤣🤣

Datun · 06/03/2019 22:51

I, for one, am very pleased that these extreme activists are getting noticed by powerful, popular, mainstream women.

It's quite a jolt to realise that these outliers, are not outliers at all. That what they advocate for is actually across the board and is affecting real women and real children in real life.

The quicker more people realise it, the better.

FloralBuntingIsObnoxious · 06/03/2019 22:56

Hahaha. Madigan has noticed that the cyclist is getting lots of juicy attention no matter how dysfunctionally aggressive and stupid they behave. Madigan thinks "Hey, I can definitely do that! Passport to a regular media spot, here I come!"

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 06/03/2019 22:59

Yes it's a very much a look at me look at me look at me why aren't you all looking at me? From Madigan here.

TowelNumber42 · 07/03/2019 07:07

BBC should get Madigan on the radio too. I bet Madigan could be as good a sherpa as McKinnon.

FemalePersonator · 07/03/2019 07:35

I spent an entertaining evening reading KiwiFarm's posts on McKinnon.

I particularly enjoyed reading tweets by McKinnon claiming to have a science background (the Farmers pointed out that all of McKinnon's degrees are in philosophy) and to have worked as an "experimental chemist" (my guess is mixing drinks at frat parties).

McKinnon also claimed professional experience in working with concrete (it sounded like a summer job doing construction work).

McKinnon claims to be ready to debate anyone anywhere but refuses to debate FPFW who McK claims are a "hate group". McK also whines about being blindsided by questions and having unbiased interviewers while crowing about being a "terf's worst nightmare" etc etc.

Actually, McKinnon - you are a gift to us terfy terfs as the more you talk the more you transpeak people.

I was catching up with the KF thread on RM last night too and I looked up the traits of Narsissistic Personality Disorder

Grandiose sense of self-importance.

Lives in a fantasy world that supports their delusions of grandeur.

Needs constant praise and admiration.

Sense of entitlement.

Exploits others without guilt or shame.

Frequently demeans, intimidates, bullies, or belittles others.

Full house, I reckon Grin

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 07/03/2019 10:17

Does anyone know where I can get a ‘Team Martina’ t shirt?

I’ve got a big presentation coming up ....

Kettleon80 · 21/03/2019 08:13

No way does this person have delusions of grandeur
