Sorry didn't rtft and just seen Becky's message.

I feel less animosity to mnhq only.

NeurotrashWarrior · 14/09/2019 12:04

*@MNHQ could you please explain why it is OK to correctly sex Yaniv and a post remains, yet correctly sexing McKinnon results in a deletion?

Also, posts correctly sexing White or Huntley were also allowed.*

This. Fuck the gaslighting.

NotTerfNorCis · 14/09/2019 12:09

'Dancing on grave gif' google image search. The first result.

Case closed.

Also, when other posters answered by saying very blatantly what McKinnon was implying, McKinnon didn't contradict them.

Ratonastick · 14/09/2019 12:09

McKinnon is a man. A hateful, wicked and disgusting man. And she makes the case against TRAs better than anyone.

I lurk on these boards and rarely post. And I lurk a bit on real life and rarely speak it unless I am confident of the company I am in. I fear that I could start an argument and not have the words to hold my line. Magdalen didn’t fear anyone, so I shouldn’t either. And those are my words now.

2BthatUnnoticed · 14/09/2019 12:15

The AGP is strong on that one. If you’re not sure whether someone is AGP, check their response to Magdalen. Say it all.

He shows so much male entitlement and aggression. His hatred of non-compliant women is chilling.

He does read this and every post is narcissistic supply. So this my last one in this.

Justhadathought · 14/09/2019 12:20

Narcissism does seem to be on the rise......in a major way - even when you look at our national leaders. Trump being the ultimate example.

What might be the reasons for this? Most likely the presence of social media and on-line communications, tweeting etc exacerbates it? No awareness of the reality of others; only one's own thought processes and profile. People creating and occupying their own tailor made world in which they are the star.

Joisanofthedales · 14/09/2019 12:39

I'll say it again and again and again Rachel McKinnon is a disgusting excuse of a man. Maggots would refuse to dine on him. I will not use the word 'she' for man who posted that gif on twitter.

AlwaysTawnyOwl · 14/09/2019 12:44

Ignore him. He’s enjoying the publicity.

TinselAngel · 14/09/2019 12:49

Arnold has my favourite comment of the day. 🌟

zebrasdontwearbras · 14/09/2019 13:02

I agree with the consensus of this thread - particularly these points:

I do hope this is the point where MNHQ actually realise this and allow us to speak up freely. That would be a proper "tribute" (sorry, very mawkish) to Magdalen, and very fitting seeing as she was such a fucking fabulous legend

The more I type, the angrier I get that once again a woman's ability to speak is dependent on a man's behaviour. If that isn't the very definition of us being censored and silenced by men, I don't know what is.

MNHQ, I would like you to give serious thought to your "extra" trans moderation guidelines here - because, respectfully, it is high time that you recognise that you are complicit in the efforts of men to not only silence women, but dominate and coerce our behaviour and freedom to express ourselves. They are telling us what we must say, and what we must think, and no allowing us the freedoms to express our beliefs.

And this ^ on a predominantly female site, is heinous.

That you were so good at resisting the MRA trolls who object to women communicating via this forum, and yet completely fail to see the same domineering behaviour against women by TRA's such as McKinnon, only rubs salt into the wound.

Why do you bow to this male domineering behaviour against us, just because they "say" they identify as women? Any man can "say" that.

Please review your moderation.

Yes, unfortunately. One of those people for whom any attention, even negative, is welcome. Usually I feel sorry for people like that, as something must have gone terribly wrong in their childhood, but he's just too pernicious and nasty.

MrsSteveMcDonald · 14/09/2019 13:16

As MNHQ have decided that misgendering is a far greater crime than wishing people dead and then celebrating it happening, I think we need to respect their decision.

There are lots of examples of genderfluid people out there and we are told that we should never assume anyone's gender. As a result of that, surely the most respectful thing would be to base pronouns on sex rather than gender to avoid inadvertently offending anyone who's gender may have changed since they last announced it. We all know that sex cannot change so referring to Mr McKinnon as he would prevent embarrassment in the future if he decides to become non binary or any of the ridiculous number of genders out there.

DuMondeB · 14/09/2019 13:18

Trying to be more Magdalen about it -

It’s a good thing really because It makes TRA assholery more clearly visible.

They are doing our work for us.

NotBadConsidering · 14/09/2019 13:19

And I’ve been deleted. It can’t be for “misgendering” because others calling him a him still stand. Maybe it’s because I called him by his original name. Oh well. Happy to call the evil male fucker Rachel if he wants to pretend. Also evident that someone is monitoring the thread (waves to the man called Rachel or one of your pals) because I know no one here would report me for that.

Propertyofhood · 14/09/2019 13:32

Interesting that they have reinstated the thread, but not the posts at the beginning which correctly sex McKinnon.

getupgonow · 14/09/2019 14:00

Be more Magdalen- it's better to be rude than lie.

Rachel McKinnon is a man. A sports cheat using his male strength to beat women to titles that he does not deserve.

Rachel McKinnon is a misogynist who doesn't give a shit about women, just about himself.

Rachel McKinnon is an evil twat who celebrates the death of another human being by using a grave dancing gif.

Man, misogynist, twat.

Fallingirl · 14/09/2019 14:23

This

But he is by no means the only utterly vile man hiding behind trans privilege, there are thousands of them. They all offend me. They all make me justifiably angry. I should be free to call all men men, not just the vilest of the vile but the slightly vile, the passive aggressive vile, the poor hard done to wee me vile.

There is already a term for women saying ‘enough’. That we will not be silenced any longer, and we will no longer be afraid to speak the truth.

It was a term coined only yesterday, and it’s called the Magdalen Effect.

MNHQ review your special rules for FWR. A lot of changes have happened in the world since you came up with them, and they now look like a relic from a dark period in women’s history. A lot of users of this board will chose The Magdalen Effect over your subservient pandering.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 14/09/2019 14:40

*@MNHQ could you please explain why it is OK to correctly sex Yaniv and a post remains, yet correctly sexing McKinnon results in a deletion?

I'd also like to know this. Where exactly is the line where we have to stop speaking the truth and use coerced speech instead?

It's very tricky trying to stay the right side of the special FWR rules when they seem so arbitrary.

Either say that in all cases we can speak the truth or (as much as I hate to say it) say that we always have to use preferred pronouns.

It's too difficult for us (and I suspect the mods) to work out if someone is true trans enough for preferred pronouns.

MartiniDry · 14/09/2019 15:26

MNHQ, your 'royal family' board is full of monarchists. They refer to the 93-year-old woman who sometimes resides in Buckingham Palace as "the Queen", or "Queen Elizabeth".

I don't. I'm a Republican, I don't know the woman and I don't consider her any better than me so I refer to her as "Elizabeth". This will probably cause some people to accuse me of disrespect and of not being civil. And they might even be right as I have no reason to respect someone I don't know.

Nonetheless, I doubt very much that you would delete me for disrespectfully using the "wrong" name if I posted that "Elizabeth has no idea how normal people live".

Would you?

And if you wouldn't, what makes a man called McKinnon more important than a woman called Elizabeth?

It’s strange, although I’m not that active on Twitter I’ve just been blocked by RM. I have commented on some GC posts recently, so there must be a formula that puts me in a list.

Herocomplex · 14/09/2019 16:15

raisins yes, I rarely comment, but do like and follow lots of GC stuff. I think the follows get you on the block list. I keep getting surprised by who has blocked me.

Mumfun · 14/09/2019 16:49

Good point Martini!

Glad Martina retweeted the misogynist narcissist wankstain's post for the world to see.

NotTerfNorCis · 14/09/2019 17:14

It’s strange, although I’m not that active on Twitter I’ve just been blocked by RM.

I'm not blocked by that person, but ever so often while reading TRA stuff I see a message about 'you can't see this tweet because this poster has blocked you'. Then out of curiosity I log on as a second user to find out who it is - and it'll be some obscure person I've never heard of! This is based on likes and the occasional tweet from years ago. I never do GC stuff from that main account now. Except I follow Glinner. Maybe that swings it?

Herocomplex · 14/09/2019 17:25

NotTerf, I thought mine might be from following A Woman’s Place, or Kathleen Stock.

What does upset me is the number of people I follow who I think are reasonable, intelligent people who seem to be going along with the trans women are women line. It makes my heart sink. But I guess they think the same about me, in reverse.
