Hello FWRs

Has anyone signed up to spinster.xyz yet? It’s like twitter but without the misogyny. No banning for stating biological truths. See you over there hopefully

Sorry, tried to make that bold. Messed it up entirely. Gussiegrips, used to be on MN ages ago.

Sounds good. Don’t think am stupid (mostly!!) just don’t have a feminist education or college education but it’s gresft here for learning so will give it a go 💪

Yes, several people seemed to recognise and welcome her

Trying to sign up and it’s proving very glitchy for me. Will keep trying but am going to have to create another email address as apparently mine is now taken.

I like Spinster as being alongside Mumsnet FWR in my browsing.

I must admit, though - I have muted about 5 posters on Spinster who post excessive photos of their dog or cat....

So shoot me!

I like the fact that, on Spinster, we can accurately point out that a biological male is, in fact, a biological male.
A man.
And that we can refer to "them" and "they" by their accurate pronouns - he, him, his etc.

A post on Spinster. Ooh Mumsnet you are bad!

"Just this month, gender-critical feminists who have been banned from Twitter for extensive transphobic harassment have recently organized under the alt-right message board @gab to form @spinster, a social media platform for TERFs. It remains to be seen whether the British message board Mumsnet will remain the epicenter for gender-critical messaging, but the movement’s growing connections with anti-abortion and violent misogynist movements should concern both cisgender and transgender women."

Thanks @katymontgomerie for pointing this out.

Vox authors don't understand open source or the Fediverse. All Fediverse instances run parallel, including Gab. We use their Fediverse software and federate with them. You'd almost think they have an agenda. 🤷 spinster.xyz/@alex/posts/102741061380842236

Precisely.

In the end, what is the practical difference between this and Reddit hosting both genderist and gender critical sub reddits? The answer is none.

I wish the other side would come with some actual arguments instead of the endless fake news.

That's going to be difficult, because, sadly, fake news is all they have.
