model pretends to be trans

[Bezalelle]

Did anyone see this?

Goes to show how far people will go to deflect accusations of transphobia:

"After being dropped by her agency for transphobic comments, model Carissa Pinkston — who has appeared in Savage x FENTY ads — pretended she was a trans woman herself so as to avoid being called out for her transphobia.

The model wrote in multiple since-deleted Facebook posts from May, under the name Rissa Danielle, that trans women were not women. Social media users who were able to find the receipts and have been witness to Pinkston's transphobia have also said that on Instagram Live videos, she went as far as likening trans women to pedophiles. And on Monday, after being called out and getting fired, she took to Instagram Live, crying and seen to be saying something, but without audio as the video was muted. After the Live, she also posted a “coming out" note, trying to repair the damage by claiming that she was trans herself."

Gender is merely assigned at birth, often incorrectly, and genitals are not indicative of anything. She says she is trans, she must be trans

Absolutely! We must not forget that trans ideology teaches us penises and clitorises are virtually the same; so naked baby pics prove nothing.

I'm going to be trans tomorrow. I'm going to be a new category meaning someone who identifies as someone who believes all this stuff is crap.
Can I have my badge and adulation at 7am please?

As far as I can see, thirdfiddle, she said trans females aren't women, or some other such apostasy.

Mind you, of course she is trans! She says she is. No debate.

Here's another one of many articles about this

I feel incredibly sad for this young woman, and very concerned. The pile on is ugly and will get worse I suspect.

She is only 20. Sure, a silly lie, but imagine the wrath of your peers at that age upon bring called transphobic. I don't think her comments were transphobic at all. There are no receipts that she compared trans to peodophilia AFAIK.

Those posting 'haha' type posts, have a think....

This is about a young woman who is now an outcast.

I hope she is ok. This poor woman.

Either self-ID is sacrosanct or it isn't. Either trans people should always, always be believed, or they shouldn't. Either sex is a "spectrum" or it isn't.

That's too binary for the spectrum-believers.

Yeahnahyeah I have every sympathy for her! What a ridiculous situation we are in, though. That's what I find so darkly humorous. Not laughing at her predicament - I hope she has good support and some sensible women looking out for her.

Scrimshaw, are trans females in fact male or female? The trouble with language that says black is white is you can never tell what fricking colour anything is supposed to be any more. False implies anything.

Trans trans ARE trans

Brain066 ffs, are you a troll? I've reported that link.

Anyone can say that they are trans. All she has to do is say that she's a man and that's that - she's trans.

Brain066 has spammed many threads tonight.

Yeah so I discovered agrona
Does mumsnet not have mods overnight?

Many have been reported by various people. There are mods but they mainly hide posts until the day shift commences, or so I’ve been told.

Well why is this one not hidden, I've reported it several times. It's damn poor IMHO.

I’ve reported it as well and many others. Some have been hidden, some have not. Maybe Mumsnet should hire some moderators from different time zones?

(Kidding, maybe.)

Maybe Mumsnet should hire some moderators from different time zones?

@mumsnet I'm up for the job

@Agrona

Shit, sorry!!! I just hid one of your messages by mistake - I went to zap the Brain spam bot and the screen moved

I will get HQ to reinstate ASAP.

sorry for that, and for the late response - I have been trying to get all of the spam and its taken a long while

yeah the Night Watch are often in different time zones

Not to worry, NiteWotcha. I accidentally reported one of my own comments.

Not surprising it took so long to zap the Brain spam. They were everywhere.

Morning. Huge thanks to the Night Watch.
The spammer has been banned and the spam deleted now.

@MichealMumsnet thanks, but some of this was up for hours after being reported. Will you be putting anything in place to avoid a repeat?

FYI very quickly as I don't want this thread to be all about the spam, it is very useful if you could flag the Night Watch about incidents like this. Individual reports don't get to us (we are, however, alerted to mass reporting of one post, for example)

start a new thread on the NW board and we will pick it up.

Oh Stealth you are so brave and fabulous. Have a badge and medal 🏅

Sorry, slightly later than 7

Actually I changed my mind. I decided I'm a woman who identifies as a woman today. Aka the lowest of the low.
