NC for this as very outing.

I came across a number of Tweets from a user whose profile described him as a serving officer with the Met. This is the complaint I sent yesterday:

Jon Killen, a emergency response officer in the MPS and LGBT+ officer, is issuing Tweets that I consider misogynist. His Twitter account (@LDNResponseCop) clearly identifies him professionally, so he cannot argue that he's only offering personal opinions. I cannot think his social media presence is doing anything good for the Met. It seems highly unprofessional. Certainly I would have less confidence were I involved in an incident and had to deal with Jon Killen than I would in a generic officer. Please look at what he's saying - and the response from many LGBT Twitter users who find his Tweets offensive. The police must be seen to be impartial.

I got a call from an inspector this morning. He'd gone through the officer's Tweets and agreed with me. He said it wasn't a disciplinary matter as there were no personally offensive Tweets but that the Tweets definitely overstepped the bounds of what a serving police officer should be saying on social media. A conversation was in order and he would be talking to the officer soon.

Only a small step, but I was pleased the Met seems to have taken it seriously.

I thought the double hit of We Are Pack was quite good, no... it was fucking amazing. I never thought I'd get 7of9 and Phyllis into the same quote

All the LOLs! I had a little personal game of exquisite corpses but y'know - yours wins all the prizes.

Feminist Theory is in the same family, all types of literary theory contain that word. It just means potential lens through which to interpret a text

At least feminist theory is coming from women themselves. It's not atop down thing. There is a long, long history of feminist texts - going back to Mary Wollstonecraft and even before. Simone De Beauvoir. Andrea Dworkin. Sheila Jeffreys.There is a huge library of feminist text and thought - and of quite different approaches too.

For many feminists, the feminine power lies in the body. In the female body. In the female bodily functions and all that stems from them. Feminism has everything to do with the body.

TERF NAZI CUNT COCK FUCK FELCH TWAT RUDE RUDE RUDE

Zoe, lovey, you don't get banned for swearing on Mumsnet. It's positively encouraged. This is, you know, a bit of a giveaway that you think it might.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 04/06/2019 19:55

Try a personal attack...or lots of them

That might work

LangCleg · 04/06/2019 19:55

That might work

She could yawn?!

SophoclesTheFox · 04/06/2019 19:55

where did felch come from, though? 😂 so random! verbs doesn’t belong in a list of insulting nouns. i do note that zo’sbeen careful to cover cocks AND twats, in case we though she wasn’t being inclusive enough, so that’s all good.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 04/06/2019 19:55

Oh! Did I miss it? Maybe I was too engrossed in PMing. Along with a mental sound track to life, that gets me into trouble, I love my postmodern sneaks. All that hyperconscious intertextuality - see, I can word salad too!

Exquisite corpses sounds much more grown up and I am very sorry I didn't see it!

ZebrasAreBras · 04/06/2019 19:56

Has zoe gone?

I wanted to ask zoe's opinion on a transwomen telling a political opponent to "suck my formaldehyde soaked balls" ?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 04/06/2019 19:56

Sorry that was to Lang

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 04/06/2019 19:56

Bless!!!

Bless’ll do it!!

Try bless

Sophocles for the love of all you hold dear DO NOT GOOGLE FELCH!!!

SophoclesTheFox · 04/06/2019 19:57

*verbs don’t

SophoclesTheFox · 04/06/2019 19:59

oh i know what it is, curious, just not what it’s doing in that stream of insults!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 04/06/2019 19:59

Oh! I see. I am impressed, I think, if you didn't have to google it Grin

I'd really like to see any evidence of feminist women being charged with assault too.

Shame - you'd think a TRA would have all that evidence straight to hand, I mean, it would be all over twitter wouldn't it? Evidence of those nasty violent transphobic feminists.

Although - some would interpret zoe's posts into zoe thinking that the mere existence of lesbian women who don't think that men can be lesbians is actual literal violence. But of course, that's nonsense.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 04/06/2019 20:01

Erm... [backs away, not as brave as she pretended to be]

Justhadathought · 04/06/2019 20:01

Here comes the self-ban attempt cos someone needs to cut me off

Honest to goodness. You are really indulging yourself now. Are you aware of how little it takes for women to get banned for just speaking their mind in many places - without recourse to foul language and terms of abuse.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 04/06/2019 20:02

you'd think a TRA would have all that evidence straight to hand, Or anyone with an in with in depth, real feminist internet spaces.

ZebrasAreBras · 04/06/2019 20:02

Oh sorry I was faffing around. We're not being serious anymore Grin

ZebrasAreBras · 04/06/2019 20:05

zoe's not some young blue haired just out of uni innocent. zoe is a TRA and has no doubt mined this thread for evidence of all the women who are hate criminals, perpetrating actual violence by not accepting that human beings can change sex.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 04/06/2019 20:05

PoorZoe. We seem to have packed her bags for her Smile

MadamBatty · 04/06/2019 20:06

Feck, arse GIRLS

CuriousaboutSamphire · 04/06/2019 20:07

Sometimes I don't think that matters. Zebra. They take whatever is said and cut it up to mean what they want anyway. Any sensible person following her breadcurmbs will see the whole thing, the silliness included.

Anyone who is already TRA or ally won't need any further proof of our transphobia!
