Caroline Farrow Support Thread

[GeordieGenes]

Caroline, I am honestly almost in tears looking at your Twitter feed tonight.

Her kids have been doxxed by the good doctor.

She is continuing to receive harassment from TRAs. Someone has just sent a pizza to her house.

We all need to get behind her. They think she's a weaker target because of her Catholic views, I'm sure. Let's get on Twitter and report everyone that is sending her abuse.

I don't see any stifling of debate - just a request to leave Caro & her kids alone.

Exactly. Stephanie was here to intimidate, harrass and bully, on a support thread.

I use they and them for users on MN as a rule unless I specifically KNOW them to be female. I try not to assume they are female as there are quite a lot of male users and I used to get annoyed elsewhere on the Internet at the automatic assumption I was male when using a gender neutral user name. It was even worse when the way you were treated changed, and was less respectful when it was discovered you were indeed female.

Thus I have a personal rule of trying to be gender neutral as a default.

And I don't see this as being less respectful in any way.

There are reasons I am uncomfortable using alternative preferred pronouns too. I feel it erases the history and identity of others whose own identity was formed in relation to that person. Sibling identity is relative. For example when people talk about how many brothers and sisters people have, it's a way others trying to relate and empathise with you. If you grew up with a brother saying you have a sister is actually a barrier to your own relationships and how you empathise with others. It matters and it's important.

Self identity is not the preserve of one group alone. Its something that is important on some level to all.

There should never be compulsion over pronouns. Only an understanding of respect.

I'll look out for your posts debating the impact of transgender ideology on women's rights

You won’t see it. They only turn up to either harrass as we’ve seen today, or pretend that all of the evidence of court appearances and criminal past is not relevant. They even went as far as to say ‘alleged’, until someone turned up with clear evidence of a guilty plea. When asked, they wouldn’t respond to questions regarding the constant referencing of golf, so they’re not up for actual debate nor do they stick around when robustly challenged. Then they just pretend they have some important lawyering to do.

Jessica yes, I had a feeling that would be the case.

I'd love to see Steph start a thread.

Yes, we know you are on here a lot. You're posting style is, um.... notable to say the least

I meant I'm on MN a lot, on all the boards, Chat and AIBU being the two main ones.
Yes, I read and post in here sometimes as people are allowed to.
I have a notable at least um posting style now? From just disagreeing with some posts? Right, OK, fair enough.

Here you go, LimeKiwi. You're welcome.

Now, back to Caro.

Hayden on Twitter: All I am saying is that it is comedy gold on #Nuttersnet this afternoon. The #transgender hostile extremists all seem eager to stifle debate all of a sudden 😂

Is that an admission that their intent was purely to troll? Looks a lot like it to me.

What is trolling? I mean in a legally kind of way?

Ooookay - if people mention me, reference me or ask me a question, I have the right to answer them. Am I supposed to just ignore?

Cross posted, that wasn't in response to RedToothbrush it was to the meme/gif thing that ToeToToe posted

First they ignore you, then they insult you, then they attack you.....

We know the next stage but we must remain strong through these stages.

Stifle debate? Says the person coming on here and threatening legal action.

My favourite bit was where THEY exited stage left, with a ruffle of blouse, a flick of hair, and a large self identification of lawyering.

Honestly?

LimeKiwi, yes, you've been about, posting on threads in FWR. You're free to do so,of course.

Others are free to notice that you don't post in any pro-women way, and draw their own conclusions from that.

Nailed it @thermats

Hayden didn't debate jack shit.

What it twice, or three times I asked them to tell me why they kept banging on about golf near where Caroline Farrow lives, in that case?

Crickets.

It was Hayden who didn't want people talking about their court appearances for dishonesty, sexual assault and violence.

All five of them. Because it was irrelevant apparently. Even the one involving a golf club, in relation to them talking about golf clubs.

🤣

Hayden is seething, I guarantee it.

Invading a support space is textbook abuse.

Whoever said this upthread is spot on.

Lime, Steph seriously. If I were you I'd start your own thread. This is a support thread for Caroline. Your contributions don't reflect at all well on you.

I have a notable at least um posting style now? From just disagreeing with some posts? Right, OK, fair enough.

No, for derailing pretty much every thread you go on. And not just on FWR.

HTH.

I mean, if you're not here in support of Caro, then why are you here?

To not offer Caro support? To make Caro feel further bullied, harassed and unsafe? Nice. Really nice.

Anyway back to Caroline. How did it go today, Caro? Did you come to a final decision about going to the police? I hope that your IRL circle are giving you plenty of support.

It was Hayden who didn't want people talking about their court appearances for dishonesty, sexual assault and violence.

Exactly... and there was a thinly veiled threat back there too... because obviously all the successful cases they’ve pursued re their criminal past being divulged means I should be careful... lest I have my identity revealed, like another user here, or so they claim is going to happen

I hope at least that the offer of legal support on this thread was taken up should Caroline need it.
