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

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.

Before anyone jumps I meant Rufus is usually on the fence and is here too, I've said I can see both sides too and on this thread

ToeToToe · 02/04/2019 23:08

You're sounding a bit like a stuck record, Lime. It's a bit dull.

Still happy for you to post anything Caro has posted that is comparable to the violent threats she's received?

No? Maybe give it a rest then. Just maybe this is not the thread for it.

Datun · 02/04/2019 23:08

Rufus is perfectly capable of answering your question on her own. No one needs to 'jump'.

Fuck me Datun I was slow there. I got a telling off from MNHQ for calling that poster untruthful

Absolutepowercorrupts · 02/04/2019 23:13

Of course it's familiar

Sorry? I know she is. I never said she wasn't. I was referring to anyone who disagrees with any points made

FloralBunting · 02/04/2019 23:15

I've never really thought of Rufus as a fence sitter. She supports women, and she's amusing and not given to the ill tempered moments some of us fall in to, but I've never had reason to doubt that she is a genuine person who cares about women and the issues we all face.

Plus, she doesn't spend all her time criticising FWR for being mean while announcing she's in the middle while never really showing the slightest interest in the rights and protections of women and girls.

Catering the penis, or not centering the penis is such a defining thing, isn't it?

Hecalledmecarrots · 02/04/2019 23:15

ToeToToe us lurkers are passionate and enraged too.

Behind the scenes we talk to our friends and families about the topics on this board.

So whilst we may not have practical help or wise words to offer Caro, we can certainly talk about it to friends, family and colleagues. And we are.

Caro, there is an immeasurable amount of silent support for you. If you feel you can, act on it!

vivariumvivariumsvivaria

stephLDS18, I say this gently, I really do.

Your documentation may well say "F" and that along with hormones, surgeries, wardrobes, make up, wigs, SLT, whiskers on kittens, whatever - none of that makes you female like me.

I'm sorry, I do realise it's tough to take

Every single word of this ^^ except I am not sorry.

Caro much love to you and your family from a (mostly) lurker who tries in her own little way to stand up and be counted with all the other biological women. I have seen Harrop and Hayden behaving like boorish bullying men all over Twitter and been disgusted. Good luck standing up to them and remember you have more support that you can see. There are many who cannot speak out but support you nonetheless. Solidarity!

LimeKiwi · 02/04/2019 23:16

Lime - did you used to be called something like early walker? You're posting is very familiar.

Never been called EarlyWalker or had any name like that, I have seen an EarlyWalker type name on MN in the past though but it wasn't me

FloralBunting · 02/04/2019 23:16

Lol, @ autocorrect there. Catering the penis has slightly different connotations to centering it...

ToeToToe · 02/04/2019 23:20

Hecalledmecarrots Smile And I love the username. Both DD and I are massive Anne of Green Gables fans.

Datun · 02/04/2019 23:20

I do love it when lurkers pop-up. I see them reading, thinking, perusing. Agreeing, wondering, googling.

We all did it.

I used to silently cheer women on, and spit nails at other people.

I absolutely know there are hundreds doing this. Statistically, it's acknowledged.

Mwah to you lot.

LimeKiwi · 02/04/2019 23:21

@FloralBunting She does support women, I've never disputed that and does a great job of it. Always posts neutrally though that's what I was meaning - I guess maybe you'll only see that if you ever have a differing viewpoint or something

Lol, I've seen Rufus absolutely mad as fire. Not at all neutral.

It just depends if she is reading something about which she feels strongly. Because boy, when she does, you'd better watch out.

OK, that's not what I said - have you tried posting with a differing viewpoint on here? If so, fair enough.
I used to be agreed with on here when I was first learning about all this on here

Hecalledmecarrots · 02/04/2019 23:33

ToeToToe, ack, a mutual fan! I was bereft when Jonathan Crombie (Gilbert) died.

Kudos to you and all the many other eloquent and vocal MNetters on these types of threads, who post for support or debate or otherwise.

The support for you, Caro, is so deserved and heartwarming.

And I’ll say it again - for all the articulate and switched on MNetters supporting you through intelligent posts, there are many of us lurkers cheering you on behind the scenes.

Yes, EarlyWalker LimeKiwi

I'm really, really not @EarlyWalker. tried tagging in case still on here as know I've seen that name before but it's not me.

LimeKiwi · 02/04/2019 23:37

I don't get with the names and the guessing who is what. Are people not allowed to disagree? As that's how it feels on here sometimes.
Post one way, or shut up no debate fuck off.
I'm not down with that whichever way it is coming from.
