I should be asleep but I'm on Twitter getting enraged with
twitter.com/CyrusBales?s=01

I'm only a lurker on Twitter using real details, otherwise I would respond.

Can someone with more knowledge than me wade in?

Bump for anyone that's around tonight.

Ha ha. I was about to post that here too.
I don’t think he’s as stupid as he’s making out.
Plus, what’s with repeating the mantra regarding U.K. law and women’s only spaces when it’s patently untrue. He seems like a robot programmed to repeat, repeat, repeat!

Is this the thread you mean, Doyoumind?
The one where women are TERFS and women are ‘non trans women’?
Wow.

Still awake.

He's ill-informed at best. The irony is he thinks he's a trans ally but he consistently says he agrees with sex segregated spaces.

I had a look through his account and despite having a couple of thousand followers he can barely scrape together one like for most of his tweets. He probably thought this would get him some followers.

I agree - he’s looking for followers and gold stars.
He’s desperate to appear woke with his faux outrage but he has an extremely poor understanding of the issues and he is quite chaotic in his message. Neither side will thank the twit and I’m certainly not going to be referred to as a ‘non trans woman’. Bloody cheek!

Old Cyrus is certainly tenacious. I couldn't work out if he was being a gf or really was that naive.

Doyoumind · 22/05/2019 09:11

I'm glad to see this morning that it's still going.

I'm hoping the TRAs arrive because he's saying trans women shouldn't be allowed into sex segregated spaces.

Agree with PPs that he's desperate for likes. I reckon he wants some attention to promote his podcasts and this is an easy way to get it (have told him so!).

I do actually think craving attention, particularly that of women, is the reason for a lot of men's sudden, one-off tweeting on trans issues. Have a look at the timelines of these newly-wokebros. There's a pattern; no previous tweeting about the issue or any other evidence of interest, such as liking or following relevant posts and accounts, and few or no likes for their own tweets. Probably best to ignore them and not give them the attention they crave.

He's being a goady fucker for self interested reasons.

Best not to give him a single notification.

nellodee · 22/05/2019 17:06

Doyoumind, that struck me too. With the stance he is claiming to take, that transwomen should not be allowed to access single sex spaces, and that protections should be left in place, he's going to get outed as a "terf" himself if any TRAs read his post.

Doyoumind · 22/05/2019 18:39

Cringe. He's trying to promote himself now by commenting on a This Morning tweet about LBGT lessons. He's tagging LGBT so perhaps the TRAs will turn up eventually. He seems to think all the women (and men) who have responded to his comments so far are homophobes 🙄
