Does MN have a problem with trans people? **MNHQ edited title as OP has apologised for 'accusatory' tone**

Seem to be threads constantly on the issue of trans.

Why?

Is it because it conflicts with the idea of sex as a construct?

Is it an age thing?

There must be mums on here with trans kids - do you just stay out of it?

Why the obsession with the idea of being attacked by trans women? Is it not the modern equivalent of homophobic blokes all thinking gay men want to rape them?

I feel another rather fitting song coming on!

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 28/11/2019 15:24

Kittens, are you referring to the classic tune "I hate dicks because I am a desiccated old cowbag"? Grin

RedDogsBeg · 28/11/2019 15:32

Buzz, I am sorry, so very, very sorry, mea culpa, I will take the due punishment like the common witch I amGrin.

What Eyez pictures while typing messages to us.

DickKerrLadies · 28/11/2019 16:11

So, has OP/lemon managed to give us that definition of what a female gender is yet?

Michelleoftheresistance · 28/11/2019 17:20

Oh what a give away Grin How very predictable.

I particularly love, in amongst the misogynistic rage and desire to punish women and see them suffer, the comment that no one cared about their cousin! At all! Which was a tragic story! Failure of female socialisation outrage and failure of female socialisation of HQ in not deleting everyone not being respectful! While at the same time showing utter obliviousness to the multiple and much worse stories other posters shared, and no sense of reciprocal obligation.

@MNHQ another plea to please leave that post standing. That is exactly what women are dealing with.

Michelleoftheresistance · 28/11/2019 17:25

Also please pass on to the political lobby: emotive case studies aimed to enlist support by tugging on the heart strings don't work.

Women have way too many of their own case studies, and way too much experience of emotional manipulation.

Only just caught up with the penis earrings.

Sam Smith wore a penis earring at a recent social event, because y'know, Sam's non binary/fluid or something like that. Edgy.

I used to love those necklaces made out of sweets in the 70s and 80s, but may be showing my age now and OP will not approve and picture a toothless hag, brain addled by retro confectionary.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 28/11/2019 17:47

Surely pomo profs shouldn't be teaching anything as fact?

I remember someone at my higher education institute telling me that 'There are no absolutes' (Derrida). When I asked if he meant what no, none at all, ever, like ABSOLUTELY none? he got really cross, for some reason. I bet he's a prof, now, he got a first.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 28/11/2019 18:17

the comment that no one cared about their cousin!

This is the cousin who, let me remember, was "screamed at" and told to "show her vulva" to a male security guard in a public shopping mall toilet after two other also imaginary women were wholly and completely unable to ascertain if she was a female by speaking to her and looking at her for more than a nanosecond?

I also seem to remember a careful follow up note that this totally real cousin decided not to do anything/go to the papers about this horrendous experience as she didn't want to cause a fuss or something?

Yes, the fact we were more than a little sceptical is rock solid proof we don't care about the cousin and therefore all men must immediately be give free access to all toilets. But not Eyez's partner who is very masculine and walks round with his dick in his hand.

Still, I expect some good screenshots have made it into certain twitter accounts.

Michelleoftheresistance · 28/11/2019 18:40

It's the first time it's really dawned on me that some of the misogynist rage so specifically targeted at MN as opposed to anywhere else is no more complicated that HQ are perceived as female (sorry Michael), and failed to obey when men told them to shut this debate down.

Nice bit of sunshine eyez added there.

Datun · 28/11/2019 18:51

Oh yes, I think the towering rage towards the mods when they are banned by would be monumental.

Datun · 28/11/2019 18:51

sorry - an unnecessary 'by' there

EmpressLesbianInChair · 28/11/2019 19:09

That’s an extremely good point. Look how angry some people were when they discovered that MN wasn’t somewhere meek little c*s women just talked about - what was it? prams & makeup remover.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 28/11/2019 19:59

what was it? prams & makeup remover.
Feeding times and 'Diaper' changes.

EmpressLesbianInChair · 28/11/2019 20:09

A perfect illustration of the misogyny in gender ideology. We all go around being female at them, we won’t stay in the prescribed box AND we don’t let them have their way. So they try to manipulate MNHQ & even that doesn’t always work...

It would be very interesting to see how their behaviour would differ if all the mods were men. Then again, I bet they’ve never touched Pistonheads or ARRSE.

Yet, decided to put it on Facebook where it hasn’t been picked up by the papers yet. Odd that!

PublicCervix · 28/11/2019 20:38

Briefly delurking to say wow, gripping thread. Misogyny bingo full house there from OP. Don't know how you stay so patient. The ignorance is Hmm

PublicCervix · 28/11/2019 20:42

Possibly not OP, but you know what I mean

EmpressLesbianInChair · 28/11/2019 20:52

It’s all about the lurkers, PublicCervix. As Datun says - sunlight, and the more the better.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 28/11/2019 20:55

Yes, but that is some superhuman patience you all have.

Paid back in spades here, though.

LLTP!

2BthatUnnoticed · 28/11/2019 21:02

Sorry if I’m being dim but was eyez OP all along? I thought OP was writing as a woman whereas eyez was a (self-Id) “c*s” man? So many questions...

PublicCervix · 28/11/2019 21:06

Mistake on my part, not sure they were one and the same 2BthatUnnoticed

PublicCervix · 28/11/2019 21:08

Definitely superhuman patience EmpressLesbianInChair Thanks

2BthatUnnoticed · 28/11/2019 21:15

No worries Public was already wondering- very similar writing styles!
