Caroline farrow support thread 2

[ilovejeffgoldblum]

Hi I'm a long time lurker, who read with disgust the last thread and wants to send , to caro. I've scanned since last thread finished for new one but no luck! Hope no one minds if I start one!

Engage with those harassing you if you need to but it maybe a good idea not to post it on here.
As you know, all this is being watched. And thoroughly enjoyed by some.
I understand the reasoning behind your wish to stand up for your expression of free speech and I applaud you for that wish.
This is not standing up to bullies, this is giving them oxygen.so shutting the supply off may be a good idea.
It's very much a contradiction in terms, best practice with bullies is to ignore them but also there is a very human wish to demonstrate to others how you are being treated.

CF- I don’t know why you converse with them.

If they screenshot your posts here and annoy you with the shots, I don’t know why you post here.

Hi caro you have support. I think it's better out in the open. You have witnesses that way.

You aren't obliged to speak out or keep quiet. Just do what suits.

That’s the whole point of what is happening isn’t it? To deter me from posting here under my own name.

But yes, I won’t give it oxygen. I think part of me being public is a) so that if anything happens it’s documented and b) to highlight the deranged behaviour of these lobbyists to whom the police appear to be in thrall.

Hirs I assume Caro posts here to feel supported.. it’s the whole point of MN innit

But Caro I agree with others, starve them of oxygen. Re-route food deliveries to a hostel, block from everywhere and ignore. Easy to say I know!

Your case has been very good at drawing attention to the disparity between women being actually harassed, and TRAs being supposedly harassed (by facts) Caro.

Caro but in answer to your question, it’s easy to move a thread to another board, just go to your OP, press the three dots on bottom of screen, go “Report” and ask HQ to move.

Still very much admiring your strength and fortitude in all of this Caro You continue to have my support (even if I may not agree with your point of view on everything else under the sun )

PS - Congrats on the new job!

Just wanted to bump the thread in case Caroline is around. She’s being targeted again. She’s already proved that the Instagram stuff cannot be her but I think they are just stirring because Dr Haddock has the GMC stuff looming.

Caroline, if you’re reading this, remember we’re still supporting you. Your strength is incredible! Just wanted to send my support your way. x

Caro yes check in for support if you need it. Not many could withstand what you have - you are strong. You are not alone.

Also, I’m Catholic (somewhat lapsed) as are all my extended family. I don’t necessarily agree with you on all things (what two people do). But we all support you and would be proud to be in your parish

Caro I am admiring your strength and defiance!

Because things are being reported (ie an online crime report supposedly submitted by her) and she is supposedly setting up social media accounts when she can prove to be unable to have done so - surely the police must get off their unicorns and start investigating?

You’d hope so, wouldn’t you? But the police haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory recently.

It just concerns me that they are trying to discredit Caroline at a time when the GMC investigation might be looking into the behaviour of a certain medic and his conduct towards Caroline. I really hope the police get off their arses and throw out these Instagram claims.

I find it coincidental that all this occurred after their grand summit in London.

Carro I support your right, not to have to use female pronouns for someone who has even today, posted a photo of himself on twitter, pre transition, as a man. We should not have to lie.

If it’s any consolation, Caroline, I’m pretty sure a lot of us share many of the sentiments that you aren’t able to express on here.

It’s absolutely relentless. Just remember you’ve got a lot of people thinking of you and sending you strength. x

Take care of yourself, stay strong

I’m so sorry, Caroline. It’s hard to know what to say, hearing that. I really hope the children are doing ok, I just wish there was something we could do to help. You know if there ever is anything, you just need to say the word.

Flipping 'eck Caro.

I've just had a look on Twitter. Its relentless.

This, though, poses a problem for someone stumbling upon it all as it has to be either mad and obsessive, or there has to be some truth to it.

A lot of us here have seen enough of some behaviours to lean towards the former. (skirting round my first MN deletion!) but this is unlikely to be the first assumption of anyone new to it all. That is why we have libel laws. Mud sticks. Especially when there is mention of your husband's specific employer.

If the assertions/allegations are not true, this is so unacceptable. It feels as if they are trying to break you.

Hi all.
Just dropping by to say that a support thread is fine - but we're really not keen to rehash a lot of the fallout from Twitter. We've deleted a few posts that aren't in the spirit of the site.

I think my previous post was deleted for misgendering!

Twitter conversations are discussed here on Mumsnet all the time, it isn’t really fair or reasonable to limit it when discussing certain people only, or to extend and alter your talk guidelines so frequently.

Just wanted to add my support. I can't believe the scrutiny you've come under for giving your daughter your phone. It smacks of victim blaming. I'm sorry you didn't have a crystal ball. Neither is it a huge parenting crime to leave a 9 year old with staff who have been DBS'd. The scenario you describe happens all the time! There's nothing worse than queuing for over an hour and then one of your children wusses out at the end of the wait!

I know these things aren't the main issue but it must be awfully annoying.

Carro, I've just watched the interview on Sky News you did with benjamin butter. You are absolutely right-many people are uncomfortable with the idea of 2 gay men, using a surrogate woman to produce a child for them. This is not homophobic, its just thinking, hang on a minute, what about the babies right to be cared for by their natural Mother? I know that it is not popular to voice these opinions and I have gay family members who I love dearly, but it is a complicated issue. To be adopted by 2 Fathers is one thing, but to be removed from your natural Mothers care at the behest of the 2 Fathers is a different thing totally.
