Roses are red
Violets are blue
I've got a secret
I'm not telling you

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 15:51

Or are you upset that someone didn't do as you demanded?

I'm not upset at all, I asked a question if there was a source for that, got "no" and it all went a bit bonkers .

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 13/07/2019 15:52

Roses are you not used to people, presumably female people saying no?

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 13/07/2019 15:53

You've had the sources given to you. But because you were firmly told 'no' you've taking to going on and on about the 'no'.

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 15:53

You want a Harvard reference and Cochrane review of myself?
Um...

Hi GirlDownUnder and JackyHolyoake - thank you for your welcome! I am reading and certainly sticking around :D

I have been reading about Labour's woman officer being a trans woman - I recognise that thought process. I am a former Labour Party member (I left because of the Party's stance on Brexit), I would have probably been one of the women who accepted trans women in women only shortlists - and proud of that. I shake my head at my naivety now - I was, as always, being 'nice' and 'accommodating' - as we are told women should be - and probably fawning to men - even their right to self ID as women. I now see trans women's wanting to enter women's only shortlist as another example of male entitlement and privilege.

JackyHolyoake · 13/07/2019 15:55

I do though, I could copy and paste a couple of names and messages now but I'm not about to. If you think of a way I could prove it without posting dm's let me know.

Oh dear, Roses! Anecdotes are not objective evidence.

Anecdotes are, necessarily, subjective.

LangCleg · 13/07/2019 15:56

I'm not about to start posting any pm's out of respect for other's privacy though, sorry.

I thought the first rule of Fight Club PMs was...

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 15:56

You've had the sources given to you

I know I have! I've agreed.

Roses are you not used to people, presumably female people saying no
Um... I am a female. Yes, course females are allowed to say no.
It just seemed bizarre to say it though and come across as not being able to support what a poster was saying earlier though, which is why I asked.

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 15:57

Oh dear, Roses! Anecdotes are not objective evidence

I know. Which is why I said it's hard to prove.
Doesn't mean it hasn't happened though.

DtPeabodysLoosePants · 13/07/2019 15:57

No, not of you, of a credible source for the opposite viewpoint you talk about.

MagneticSingularity · 13/07/2019 15:58

tl;dr: a) transwomen tend to be more criminal or b) trans is a bandwagon jumped on by some prisoners.

Hmm difficult but on the plus side since - - there are now clearly enough for a separate 3rd facility, it’s problem solved surely? They’ll be safe from the male prisoners and the female prisoners would be safe from the odd one who’s just pretending to be a trans (not that that ever happens allegedly). Great, our work here is done, on to sort out World Peace...

....wait, it’s the same thing as the bathrooms isn’t it? TW don’t want a separate 3rd facility because that invalidates them as women.

GirlDownUnder · 13/07/2019 15:58

Ooooo Roses I've just checked and I have eleventy million PMs that say you are mistaken. I obvs cannot doxx these people, so you'll just have to accept my numbers trounce your numbers. I can't give stats tho, sorry,

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 13/07/2019 15:58

It just seemed bizarre to say it though and come across as not being able to support what a poster was saying earlier though, which is why I asked.

Other people have given you the proof.

You are constantly going on about the person who said "no" to you.

JackyHolyoake · 13/07/2019 15:58

A second welcome .. to radical feminism Lifepanic1234

[Radical feminism, as in analysing the root of female oppression by males.]

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 15:59

Captain, you are completely missing what I actually said, I don;t know if on purpose or what.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 13/07/2019 16:00

I know. Which is why I said it's hard to prove.
Doesn't mean it hasn't happened though.

I would say i agree, in the grand scheme of things, it's one of the more believable things that are "hard to prove".

It also should be pretty easy to prove, surely?

JackyHolyoake · 13/07/2019 16:00

Doesn't mean it hasn't happened though.

If you cannot prove it to others via objective evidence, for those others it has not happened!

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 16:01

It also should be pretty easy to prove, surely?

OK, how do I prove it without posting my pm's then?

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 13/07/2019 16:01

Captain, you are completely missing what I actually said, I don;t know if on purpose or what.

No you demanded sources.
Datun said no
Other people linked you sources
You've gone on and on about datun saying no for 6 pages.

What point have i missed, i understand datun didn't play into your hands and said no, and you didn't like that.

LangCleg · 13/07/2019 16:02

But if TWAW on the basis of gender identity and all people claiming the gender identity woman should be treated as women for the purposes of incarceration, why does it matter how many there are?

Why does it matter that Datun said no, aka that common transactivist refrain, educate yourself?

This is a conundrum to me, Rose.

I would like to know why you care about the numbers.

PetrolBastard · 13/07/2019 16:02

Well this riveting Grin

LangCleg · 13/07/2019 16:03

I've just checked and I have eleventy million PMs

I have infinity squared. Ner!

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 13/07/2019 16:03

OK, how do I prove it without posting my pm's then?

I'm assuming so many people have been repelled from the site that it must be discussed somewhere?
Surely the people still sending pms is the tip of the iceberg, as they are clearly site members?

of course by your logic the proof isn't my problem, it's yours, remember the Datun incident?

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 16:04

Petrol, riveting is one way of putting it lol, it's headed into WTF territory Grin
