By the wonderful Rhona Hotchkiss.

He’s now protected his account but basically said, your transphobic mates telling you things isn’t evidence...

I love Rhona, wonderful woman!

When 'material realities' don't go your way.

Sexnotgender · 13/02/2020 18:04

Someone managed to screenshot his drivel before he locked his account thankfully 😊

Good work Rhona

I saw similar on #ExpelMe. About women's toilets. He disabled his account.

Pwnage.

It never occurs to these blokes that a woman might actually know what she's talking about.

The former governor of Cornton Vale, Rhona Hotchkiss, says that in her experience it is "always an issue to have trans women in with female prisoners”.

No, they just steam ahead with their own thoughts as they’re so convinced they are right. It’s so tedious.

So is the person who challenged her going to respond and say ok I got it wrong?

No, of course not they have protected their tweets and gone to ground.

FFS if he was passionate enough to attempt to discredit an academic he surely cares enough about the issue to want clarity of statistics and accuracy of information...

But no, because "transphobic".

I am so sick of people getting away with unjustified claims by dropping a grenade and running for cover.

Bloody women, knowing their stuff and answering back. Double offence.

The whiney 'your evidence isn't evidence' shite grinds my gears, like 'this never happens' when there's lists & lists of convicted sex offenders. Beautifully taken down by the awesome Rhona but chap is stuffed so far up his own cognitive bias shute he'll never get to see daylight.

Doyoumind · 13/02/2020 22:16

I've come across this guy on Twitter before and have been in conversations he was part of previously. A really condescending dickhead who has no idea about the realities of the debate but wants to tell women they are hateful. The sad thing is, I don't think this incident will give him pause for thought at all. He has never listened to any of the arguments put before him.

I understand about cognitive bias, but those who double down with obvious untruths when faced with definitive facts continue to astonish me.

Exactly! And don't they feel terribly embarrassed when they are proved totally wrong outright? I know in my life I've confidently said some things that have been challenged and shown to be wrong, I have a blush, apologise and learn from it. It's unbelievable isn't it that people who claim passion for a subject don't give a shit about the truth, just validation. Honestly I feel like I'm losing the plot with it sometimes. Just so often now I think IS NOBODY ELSE SEEING THIS?!

Doyoumind · 13/02/2020 23:18

Well, part of the problem is that males are socialised in a way that means they don't all blush, apologise and learn. It's men/males that mostly keep doing this doubling down. The Labour Leadership contenders don't count as politicians are another thing altogether.

NonnyMouse1337 · 13/02/2020 23:45

Hahaha what a prick. He's clearly of mediocre intelligence... Enough to act pompous and demand answers, but not sufficient to actually understand what's being discussed. Got to admire the arrogant belligerence of such men. They slink off like the shit stains they are and pop up elsewhere spouting the same drivel.
Good on yourself, Rhona!!

Durgasarrow · 14/02/2020 00:21

Jesus just google it genius boy!

Maduixa · 14/02/2020 00:25

OK, so Twitter handle @Carter_AndrewJ (thanks, sexnotgender).

This prick will be back in two days, Twitter account as good as new, thinking we are like dogs who are soooo easily distracted - Here, boy! Here, here! Look, a frisbee! - and won't remember the misogyny this arsehole pulled. Well. if you won't remember -- then take a screenprint, make a note, and call it out when it is back.

Coyoacan · 14/02/2020 03:40

That's the thing. Some people might have a hard time conceding a point, but you would think it would at least change their thinking, by these beardies keep on making the same arguments on different threads, hoping that no-one else is able to bring any incontrovertible evidence.

I was on a thread this morning and an eejit kept on asking for evidence about the existence of detransitioners. I went back a while later and saw that a women had put up an article about one and thought, now he's going to claim that one doesn't mean anything. Then I scrolled down and she'd referenced hundreds of detransitioners in several different articles.
He never came back.

Love it!!

Lordfrontpaw · 14/02/2020 08:59

I love a good one of these. There was a recent one with Fionne that made me laugh.

Lol at fionne

Lordfrontpaw · 14/02/2020 09:11

I’m glad he’s back on twitter - I was worried he was feeling fragile at the end of last year but he’s back in fine form.

littlbrowndog · 14/02/2020 09:13

Yeah. Al that house hunting.

He is so lovely

Lordfrontpaw · 14/02/2020 09:15

And Dan too of course!

DickKerrLadies · 14/02/2020 09:27

It's almost as if he's asserting things that other TRAs tell him as proof and is confused about what 'evidence' means.

I'm reminded of a phrase I learnt on MN - may God grant me the confidence of a mediocre male.
