[Newjobnewstart]

Has been suspended from twitter. He has been a great ally - as you can imagine there is a bit of a party going on over there.

Poor Glinner..

Thanks @glinner for being an ally and for putting a spotlight on this.

They were out to get you and it was only a matter of time.

@Newjobnewstart

Was the post taken down? I saw a screenshot on twitter and someone commented slong the lines of why should i care your male and this is a female safe space

that comment, not unsurprisingly was by a newly registered user.

there was a massive influx of new users trolling the boards in the early hours, some still are.

Hope he's back soon, there's not many blue ticks brave enough to speak up about this.

The toxic MRA's that swarmed all his original thread on here show themselves up v well indeed, I hope Mumsnet can repost it without edit.

That thread was something else. If that’s what much of social media outside Mumsnet is, I’m glad I don’t go there. Utterly vile and weird in a horribly perverted way. I was just about to post to say so when it vanished.

Sympathies to Graham. Happily all the men I know are decent sorts, like him, who like and value women. The others - well I hope that I, my daughter and granddaughters never meet them.

That is EXACTLY what twitter can be like. At least there you can block people who post abuse.

Here to show my support. Thank you Glinner:

Thanks @glinner

You are the bravest man on Twitter.

They are really showing what horrendous people they are.

I want to thank Graham for everything he's done on this subject and sticking up for women - he isn't transphobic at all. It's a subject that's hard to get your head around but hopefully the tide is turning. The fanatics have taken over Twitter and I just hope they don't do the same here.

Yes, thanks Glinner for being so incredibly persistent in standing up for women. I don’t need an ally to be perfect. You’ve been bloody brave.

Another vote of thanks to @glinner

Thanks @glinner. Twitter is a cesspit, fast turning into an intolerant echo chamber.

Am I the only one that finds it odd that when a man gets kicked off twitter for hate speech he runs to a woman's only space to have a cry about it? I though he was an advocate of people finding their own spaces?

Defending women's rights is 'hate speech' now is it? Really?

Not really - he would often pop on here to comment and give updates. It’s not only women on here anyway. And he was defending women’s spaces. What’s the issue?

So someone at twitter is not allowing tweeters to use the word groomer, how illuminating. I think this highlights exactly what certain men are determined to do-groom children, in plain sight, yet stop people talking about it.

Not really. His experience with twitter has been shared by many others including prominent feminists.

And I think you will find he has made his ‘own space’.

Twitter is full of porn and paedophilia masquerading as “minor attracted persons” now the word “groomer” is banned. Says it all.

huge thank yous to @glinner

hes done soo much on shining a light on this movement. i think the battle is moving away from twitter now anyway and has reached the main-stream (in part of course to his work in exposing it.)

But afaik they continue to allow the accounts of MAPs (aka paedophiles) to stand. So actual groomers are ok, it's just the word "groomer" that must be used. Funny, that. As with all these things the question one should always ask is "cui bono: who benefits?"

He has been a force fighting for women’s rights and single sex spaces and trying to raise awareness about self ID and gender ideology. The link to his post here is not working and all I see is a blank screen, but he has a web site which many of you may find interesting if you are at all GC. I just checked to see if he had uploaded a message there about his suspension from Twitter, but I didn’t see anything. Perhaps he will do that later. Anyway, the web site address is below:

‘Am I the only one that finds it odd that when a man gets kicked off twitter for hate speech he runs to a woman's only space to have a cry about it? I though he was an advocate of people finding their own spaces’

He knows the crowd here and the calibre of response he’ll get either way so it’s not odd in the slightest when you think about it.

Very sorry to hear this glinner. Thank you for everything you've done, and I hope you're ok.

Friday and Saturday nights can be a favourite time for new posters determined to tell us how to think. Even before lockdown when there were actual places people could go to.

Banning the word groomer. What about known phenomena like ‘grooming gangs’ that Everton the Twitter wokerai should be concerned about?

Shows they're panicking, Glinner.

Puuuulllll!
