Banned from women-only FB group

A trans woman edited by MNHQ because OP is using second language posted in a women's only FB group wanting free emotional labour and "validation" from untrained women to help them with getting over their abusive ex boyfriend.

I stated it wasn't appropriate to ask untrained women to take on their emotional labour, especially considering what had happened to them was so traumatic (according to them they ended up in hospital), and especially not for free and suggested they seek professional help instead.

Cue trans woman and women stating I was being transphobic, and "wouldn't understand the fear a marginalised group would go through."

I was told I hadn't been through a traumatic experience before so couldn't possibly understand what the OP was going through.

I've been banned from a group specifically designed for women. Nowhere in the post did I mention anything about the OP being trans.

I am so sick of this shit. The world has gone mad.

Sad not sad Fred's time is nearly up.

GirlDownUnder · 15/07/2019 02:17

And what's with cucumelons or what such?

And Roses is transphobic - that was a turn up for the books too!

Must be cos I'm in the upside down 🤷‍♀️

GirlDownUnder · 15/07/2019 02:18

Who's gonna sing a song for Fred??

TruthOnTrial · 15/07/2019 02:19

Are we putting Fred to bed?

Always good to share some lighthearted banter and cheer before bedtime

Doyoumind · 15/07/2019 02:19

I think Fred has had enough fun.

GirlDownUnder · 15/07/2019 02:21

Yeah but what song? Who's gonna sing? And can I drink at the wake even if it's not past midday??

GirlDownUnder · 15/07/2019 02:23

Oooo laundry's finished! How exciting - be right back, I promise Halo

Doyoumind · 15/07/2019 02:25

Goodnight Girl (save it for later)

Doyoumind · 15/07/2019 02:26

Goodnight Truth

Doyoumind · 15/07/2019 02:26

Goodnight Fred.

Doyoumind · 15/07/2019 02:27

Goodnight Jim Bob.

TruthOnTrial · 15/07/2019 02:30

I thought you were proposing a song...

Goodnight Girl? Who sang that?

TruthOnTrial · 15/07/2019 02:31

Goodnight, doyoumind

Doyoumind · 15/07/2019 02:31

Fred sang it. It was beautiful.

AzraiL · 15/07/2019 02:32

What an absolute fecking shit-show.

OP, join a new group or start one yourself. The old FB group members will need somewhere to go once they begin jumping ship.

Then please just forget this thread ever happened.

OccasionalKite · 15/07/2019 04:21

OP is being brigaded for her heresy.

The OP's original community got disrupted by a community disruptor.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 15/07/2019 07:07

A Women’s Tech Support group was used by an entitled Male to unload graphic details about abuse. Two women who were among many more who told them it wasn’t the right group for that, were banned because to deny a trans person anything, anything at all, is transphobic.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 15/07/2019 07:08

It is absolutely correct to say:

The OP’s original community got interrupted by a community disruptor

JessicaWakefieldSV · 15/07/2019 07:09

Women shouldn’t have to listen to graphic abuse details in a tech group or any group or situation they’re not expecting that in. I don’t know a single abuse victim, I am one, who would do such a thing.

Earlywalker · 15/07/2019 07:09

This threads been illuminating, I agree.

Key points I took:

How when a GC woman says something, even if it completely contradicts something else they’ve said - they must be believed completely, any attempt at questioning is ‘harassment’

If a TW steers out of her lane and attempts to seek comfort from ‘real woman’ about domestic abuse, they are lying, they are probably having a wank while doing so, too.

Anyone who doesn’t swallow the agenda without asking questions or seeking clarification is a nasty woman/robots/men/TRA who is also having a wank while reading your comments smile

Enlightening as always 👍

JessicaWakefieldSV · 15/07/2019 07:11

Just because those with power, be it a group admin, a public pool or the Olympics committee, allow males to invade, control and dictate, doesn’t mean women should step aside in silence.

Women speak out and make your objections known. We do not need to centre males all the time, even if they’re upset, sad or abused. That’s emotional manipulation. No.

Earlywalker · 15/07/2019 07:11

Oh and apparently by pointing out the above I’m ‘one Step away from telling woman to die in a fire’

JessicaWakefieldSV · 15/07/2019 07:12

This isn’t a court of law. The OP vented, then clarified.

You keep repeating yourselves like you’re the police of words.

DecomposingComposers · 15/07/2019 07:13

Given the last few pages and all of the talk about laundry, Fred, etc I fail to see how any of those posters can ever accuse anyone of derailing in the future and keep a straight face.

How utterly juvenile.
