Mermaids on twitter

Has mermaids closed their twitter account or been suspended? I can't find it and I definitely haven't been blocked.

I'm wondering whether the whole Phoebe Waller-Bridge has forced them to be quiet for a bit?

how could I be a misogynist, I'm a cisgender female

What makes you female?

HandsOffMyRights · 22/05/2019 22:22

My kids love Vienese Whirls, but are they a cake or a biscuit?

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 22/05/2019 22:22

The tax man has them as cake

Twunk · 22/05/2019 22:23

I like Dutch biscuits. Can’t fault a stroopwafel

HandsOffMyRights · 22/05/2019 22:23

Damn. DH said they were a cake and I disagreed.

Goady fuckery posts reported but thread needs to remain.

It's been proven by science that people who think they are forks actually exist and are real.

Women can be misogynists. It’s called internalised misogyny.

Some women subliminally believe some much in the truth of the patriarchal system that they will degrade their sisters to score brownie points with men.

Tiny, lady, pink brain is the most misogynistic thing going. That kind of thinking stopped women from being allowed to attend university.

fortnitehatingmum · 22/05/2019 22:25

What makes me female is my brain and biology. Again, transgender people are still biologically their birth gender

AutumnCrow · 22/05/2019 22:25

You can get lemon Viennese whirls in asda. Trufact.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 22/05/2019 22:25

Transgenderism is classified as a mental illness

Actually it isn't, and to say it is is very trans-phobic.

DodoPatrol · 22/05/2019 22:26

What that study says is 'the size of the insula was not smaller in transgender women than in cisgender men, but its volume was reduced in transgender women compared to cisgender women.'

So, same in males of whatever gender; different in males than in females?

That contradicts what they say it says - unless they meant 'transmen' by transgender women? I think we need a better report!

However, this statement makes sense: 'Spizzirri explains that “there’s no such thing as a typically female or male brain. There are slight structural differences, which are far more subtle than the difference in genitals”.

fortnitehatingmum · 22/05/2019 22:26

Oh yes, biology is misogyny?

MrsScamander · 22/05/2019 22:27

You do know fortnite that saying that transgender women are "biological males" as you just did, makes you just as much as a TERF as the rest of us in the eyes of TRAs.

It has been a tough day in autism central.. the chocolate digestives are calling.

Missed the tweets. See paragraph above.

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 22/05/2019 22:27

What PWB is so true and so so common it's crazy that now kids are being put on a route if drugs and surgery. GIDS had over 80% desist with wait n watch which is understandable.

It's s disgrace.

Funny a thread about the transing of children gets derailed and the focus moves to adult males.

BelleSausage · 22/05/2019 22:28

I’ve reported and I suggest we all do the same.

@fortnitehatingmum We can all see what you’re trying to do. It is not cool. You couldn’t get any of us to breach the talk guidelines so you’re doing it yourself. Maybe even for screenshots.

BiologyNotBigotry · 22/05/2019 22:28

I just nearly choked on Jaffa cakes. I can't remember what was decided about the whole cake vs biscuit debate but DH tried to take one & I tried to shove 2 in whole... Turns out my mouth isn't that big. I had to decide whether I was going to risk choking & try to eat them or if I was going to spit them out. It was an easy decision - I'd never waste Jaffa cakes!

Anyway, what pearls of wisdom did Mermaids decide to share with the world about PBW?

terryleather · 22/05/2019 22:29

It's been proven by science that people who think they are forks actually exist and are real.

Fork identities are valid!!!!!!

I bloody LOVE a Viennese Whirl...

littlbrowndog · 22/05/2019 22:29

Don’t police the forks ffs

😉

fortnitehatingmum · 22/05/2019 22:29

How is talking about biology transphobic, I'm not harassing actual trans people, as one of my mates is trans. Talk to an actual gender therapist and they'll tell you about the difference between brains and everything else

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 22/05/2019 22:30

urns out my mouth isn't that big

Remember when Wagon Wheels used to be the size of frizbees?
I could fit a whole one in my mouth as a kid.

How do you account for gender fluid people then?
Do they have a manly brain or a lady brain?
