It's astonishing bold, as a strategy.

She's getting absolutely monstered i the replies, at least.

She sounds well pissed.

NonnyMouse1337 · 09/11/2019 23:44

I guess she is repeating whatever she's been taught by Stonewall.

www.stonewall.org.uk/help-advice/glossary-terms

HOMOSEXUAL
This might be considered a more medical term used to describe someone who has a romantic and/or sexual orientation towards someone of the same gender. The term ‘gay’ is now more generally used.

ErrolTheDragon · 10/11/2019 00:01

Too much to hope Stonewall would still be able to define 'homosexual' correctly.Hmm
It's 'sexually attracted to people of one's own sex' - as is now being reasserted clearly by the LGBA.

That deletion was just a late night spammer, btw.

Hines seems to be having a competition with herself to be the most offensive person on the Twatter hellsite - and I have to concede, even with her contributions, that's a high bar.

Congratulations, Sally! You've got yourself another rung up the ladder.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/11/2019 09:01

I’ve seen worse - the one who calls everyone a Nazi and just repeats ‘you want me dead’ - and seems to pop up on here once in a while to agree witH themself for screenshot purposes.

I can’t quite decide if it’s a bot, a conceptual artist or someone who really needs to step away from social media.

Qcng · 10/11/2019 09:04

I can't figure out what on earth she was on about with that bonkers line about lesbians pretending to be homosexual. Can anyone shed any light?

I'm guessworking here.

Maybe it was an accidental moment of truth.
She thinks "lesbian" means male transwomen with peen, who are exclusively attracted to women without peen. They are just pretending to be homosexual.
It's what GC feminists have always said.

Maybe Sally Hines is on her way to a proper waking up.

I regret the day I came across that person on Twitter. I can only assume the few "likes" they get are from bot/fake accounts.
Best to ignore.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/11/2019 09:12

It’s like squeezing a pimple - Sometimes you just can’t help yourself (and are amazed at how much yuk comes out of it)

ErrolTheDragon · 10/11/2019 09:13

Presumably that one can just be ignored? Hines, unfortunately, is in a position of influence and authority. I can't see how she hasn't overstepped the mark with this though.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/11/2019 09:14

Maybe she is also a performance art lecturer?

LangCleg · 10/11/2019 09:23

To be fair, I read that as an - albeit incoherent - dig at the arguments about political lesbianism that have been going on lately.

donquixotedelamancha · 10/11/2019 09:46

My theory is:

  1. She is trying to be funny/mocking a lot of the time. Her sense of humour is so odd that it's hard to tell.
  1. She is not bright, so isn't able to formulate an argument, the 'humour' is a deflection.
  1. She thinks being gay herself protects her from a lot of the criticism that such comments would get someone else.
Cwenthryth · 10/11/2019 09:48

I think the ‘nazi/you want me dead’ person seems acutely mentally unwell tbh, and if so, only hope that those on Twitter who know them IRL recognise that and try to get help, rather than egging them on with all the T*RF rhetoric. They seem very vulnerable.

Hines - I’m flabbergasted by her blatant homophobia, it’s disgusting. I’m loathe to emulate the TRA tactics of reporting to employers, but surely her university cannot let it go uncommented upon, give she is tweeting openly in her own name and representing them.

teawamutu · 10/11/2019 09:54

Was just thinking exactly the same thing, Cwenthryth. I don't want to get a woman sacked, no matter how batshit crazy and unpleasant she is. But I do think, given the ton of bricks that falls on any woman who dares to state biological fact, that someone in authority ought to suggest she takes a good look at herself...

Tanith · 10/11/2019 10:04

I always think of her as the female equivalent of Olly Plimsolls...

VickyEadieofThigh · 10/11/2019 10:07

3. She thinks being gay herself protects her from a lot of the criticism that such comments would get someone else.

IS she gay? I wasn't aware.

thatdamnwoman · 10/11/2019 10:10

I posted on the Mimmymum thread yesterday that I think Helen and Sally and all the other cheerleaders for Trans and Queer ideology are aware that their time of influence is running out and they face the reckoning. They're just letting rip on all fronts, even if by doing so they reveal themselves to be what we've known all along. They're desperate because they know they're rumbled. The game is up.

Once trans and queer and gender ideology are revealed to be irrational, misogynistic, homophobic, quasi-religious beliefs which can't stand up to rigorous academic scrutiny I imagine there will be people who've spent £27,000 studying sociology and gender studies at Prof Hines' institution who'll look for ways of getting their money back. People who will describe themselves as indoctrinated and Hines et al as abusive cult-type leaders. I bet Hines' university is already asking questions about her competence.

That is my impression. Lots of pics of GF on her timeline. Also this tweet:

TheBullshitGoesOn · 10/11/2019 11:31

Is that what being ratioed (sp?) looks like?

EmpressLesbianInChair · 10/11/2019 11:34

Well, if she’s expressed genital preferences then she’s obviously transphobic.

donquixotedelamancha · 10/11/2019 11:52

Quite. It strikes me that she's really going for Dr James Gears for saying she showed disdain for Lesbians, but how does she now he isn't a Lesbian?
