Sorry. Just seen someone already posted about it!

DubiousGoals · 13/09/2019 22:15

McKinnon is a man.

A vile, disgusting man who I will not be coerced into "respecting".

And Kabooooooom, everyone is now misgendering instead of 3 people. Smile

Gosh I’m blocked, I must be on a list. I’m finding more and more Twitter accounts have me blocked now.

I hope McKinnon's sponsors see this and (s)he gets dropped like a hot potato.

@FlissMumsnet are we not allowed to correct sex people? Outrageous.

CaptainKirksSpookyGhost · 13/09/2019 22:19

We’re convinced, though, that the only way forward is through civil and constructive debate, and we’ll keep this goal in mind in all our moderation decisions.

An yet you've deleted and run.

Yup, it's that Streisand effect writ large.

Go Martina. And interestingly, it reveals there are now two categories of deboosting on twitter - GC women whose accounts are now shadow-banned, and "may contain offensive material", which appears to mean deboosted plus you called a man a man.

CaptainKirksSpookyGhost · 13/09/2019 22:20

I hope McKinnon's sponsors see this and (s)he gets dropped like a hot potato.

sponsors don't care, it's easy and simple tokenism for them.

scotsheather · 13/09/2019 22:21

Its Mckinnon's behaviour towards women that leads to Mckinnon being "misgendered" as it sounds typical male controlling conduct. Just when you think Mckinnon can't take Mckinnon any lower Mckinnon takes Mckinnon to new depths even by Mckinnons own standards. Mckinnon is a vile creature.

Hello everyone - we've now undeleted the thread (as you can see!)

While we do wish to encourage civil discussion - and will still moderate with that in mind, we do accept that, in this circumstance, it's understandable that people will feel angry in response to this tasteless tweet. On reflection, taking the thread down was the wrong call and we're sorry to have upset so many of you.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 14/09/2019 09:49

Thank you, Becky.

Thank you Becky

It is a start MN so thank you for that at least. Surely deleted comments should be reinstated if all they did was correctly sex this individual?

RufusthebewiIderedreindeer · 14/09/2019 09:53

Surely the deleted comments where he is correctly sexed should be reinstated

The other thread is full of correctly sexing as well

borntobequiet · 14/09/2019 09:57

Glad this is back.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 14/09/2019 09:59

Thank you Becky x
Much appreciated.

Whatwouldbigfatfannydo · 14/09/2019 10:00

Dancing on the grave of a young woman and wishing others to die in grease fires does not deserve civil debate. It won't get any from self respecting women who know that this debasement is wrong. Rhys McKinnon is a vile, cheating, treacherous man.

koshkat · 14/09/2019 10:00

Absolutely this Whatwould.

IsadoraQuagmire · 14/09/2019 10:01

Thanks for reinstating. But you know, none of us are going to stop calling a person who has (or used to have) a penis, a man.
Because we're not deluded.

McKinnon is a dough faced MALE piece of shit.

Ah, that’s better......

AudacityOfHope · 14/09/2019 10:04

So, for clarity, is 'civil' in this context 'lying'?

HeadintheiClouds · 14/09/2019 10:05

Oh, good call, MNHQ!

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 14/09/2019 10:05

McK is definitely going to peak a few more people over this. Wonder if that Strava podcast is still up?

LangCleg · 14/09/2019 10:07

It's a start, Becky.

Now, to the real question: does this tasteless (I think this is the kindest possible word one could use and would pick another myself) meet the threshold where a transactivist does something so fucking vile that minding our compliant Ps and Qs on not correctly sexing them becomes moot?

Yes? Or no?
