This week, in “People who shouldn’t be allowed on Twitter”

[AngeloMysterioso]

First up we have “Bex” Stinson, who according to Google is Head of Trans Inclusion at Stonewall (although that is apparently under dispute) who is here to tell straight women that being straight and not trans protects us from sexual harassment/assault... good to know!
the tweet has now been deleted, and according to it’s author was taken out of context (although no actual context has since been provided) but if you search the name on Twitter you’ll still find plenty of responses!

Next up, say hello to ITV Political Correspondent Paul Brand, who would like us to remember that men are victims of misogyny too...

Rounding off the top 3, here is Adam MacGregor, going his best to dispel the myth that the Green Party is anti-women, and reminding us that straight, non-trans women only “pretend to be oppressed”.

Reminds me of top of the pops and the music charts on a Sunday. Thank OP! Keep the coming...

I saw the Bex Stinson tweet because the all-round excellent Caroline Criado-Perez had responded very robustly to it, calling out the bullshit.

What was even better was that someone I follow in a work capacity (very liberal, virtue-signalling, woke industry) had retweeted the response, and two more people had liked it. Which makes me really believe that progress really IS happening.

As is being discussed on another thread, Owen Jones is having a go at the NSPCC.

''And I really don’t think the @NSPCC understand the determination and solidarity of the LGBTQ movement, because we are not going to let this go, as their chairman @Woodfromtrees is about to discover.''

'When you say hang aren't you cis they can pretend to be oppressed'

Ah the mark of a true ignorant - yes, fuckwit, when you say to me that I am cis, you are in fact demanding that I am inextricably tied to everything that oppresses me and other women in the system gender.
Holy Mother of God I love it when a man tells me I am not oppressed because I identify with my oppression. When I say 'love it', I obviously mean, 'become crazy eyes angry'

Just looked through some of Adam McGregor's tweets, he's a nasty piece of work isn't he

Bex, well what can I say here without breaking the rules so I'll settle for thank-you Caroline

Now I'm confused.
Am I a non transwoman or a non man ?
Either way I must be non
So that's non Green from me

Owen’s tweet is very threatening. How the hell fam he behave like that with no repercussions?

I agree, it does read like a threat.

As for the 'privilege/oppressed' comments, I've started to wonder if activists are deliberately making the terms unusable by overusing them.

Adam McGregor repeatedly lying about me, and what genderfree is, alongside his misogyny. Nasty bastard.

I reported him for hate speech. I doubt twitter will do anything.

Have to say I cannot see what’s wrong with Paul Brand’s assertion. Masculine norms are damaging for all men and especially gay men I would have thought.

The other tweets show a determined ignorance about the position of woman in the patriarchy tho.

What a nasty man

That’s how language matters.

He said some terf

If he had said some woman

He is inciting hate against women but dehumanising women by calling them terfs

So that’s ok then

What fucking planet is Bex thingy on?

Clearly not the same one that I have lived on for the last several decades, so I'd be interested to know.

RHTawneyonabus I think the issue with Paul Brand’s tweet is pretty accurately summed up in the reply directly beneath it in the picture.

That fucking bullshit by Stinson is the stupidest thing I've ever read. What. A. Fuckwit.
