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.

Another vote of support for glinner. I have been posting on twitter about this in support of Maya and JKR. The refusal to have reasoned debate is almost childlike. So good to see the wider world waking up to this bizarre religion where people with penises can call themselves women but women aren't allowed to call themselves women????

@glinner has sacrificed a huge amount to shine a spotlight on these issues. I especially appreciated him challenging his famous, blue tick, media mates whenever they parroted TRA crap for likes.

I hope he can take a bit of time to relax and spend with the family. I can't imagine how exhausting it must be fighting this on Twitter all day every day.

Horrified by this. Thank you for all you do for women, Glinner, and please look after yourself. The sheer injustice can wreak havoc on your mental health. Brew Flowers

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?
This thread is about Feminism, correct? He didn’t come here to cry about it, he came here to let feminists know, because he’s been fighting with feminists, and is a feminist ally.
PinkSquash · 27/06/2020 08:22

Sorry that the TRAs have tried to silence you Glinner, all they have is attack, their desperation for no debate is astounding
Thank you for standing up.

ErrolTheDragon · 27/06/2020 08:25

Bloody hell - Twitter banning the term 'groomer' and people that use it - while not afaik doing much to detect and ban groomers (correct me if I'm wrong on that) is appalling.Shock

Wtf is their justification for banning the word 'groomer'?

Thanks to Glinner.

ItsSummer · 27/06/2020 08:25

Thank you @glinner the world needs more people like you who are willing to put themselves out there .

LoislovesStewie · 27/06/2020 08:26

Not posted on here for ages; but couldn't leave without showing my support. keep on keeping on Glinner.

VortexofBloggery · 27/06/2020 08:27

Thanks Glinner for speaking up for Women's Rights. I hope the baton is taken up by more men on Twitter. You had a good run. Wine

There’s SO much disturbing on twitter. Far worse than this work. Have all the people who abused JKR been banned?
ItsSummer · 27/06/2020 08:28

The TRAs I mean.

Hopefully yes, you are. He starts by apologising for barging in, communicates what's happened, and ends with where to find his own space.

McDuffy · 27/06/2020 08:32

Well put, Errol
He's a feminist ally and very welcome here by me.

Yes, you're probably the only person that thinks the defence of women's rights is hate speech. Thanks @glinner for everything

Mumsnet isn't a woman only space and never has been
ThePurported · 27/06/2020 08:38

It just makes me wonder what sort of people run Twitter, and what do they stand for?

It's clearly not free speech, but on the other hand that U.S. charity for paedophiles is still allowed on there, the one that is headed by some fairly high profile ex-Silicon Valley type.
So now the situation is that you can't use the word 'groomer' on Twitter, but you can campaign to remove the stigma of being sexually attracted to children? I sense a pattern.

FlowersWine Thank you Glinner

Bowednotbroken · 27/06/2020 08:39

Thanks to Glinner - sorry you're getting so much trouble for stating truth!

PronounssheRa · 27/06/2020 08:40

Another post of support.

There has been an orchestrated campaign against Glinner for a while. Now these people will need a new hobby so expect an influx of shit posting for Twitter screenshot appearing on here.

Twitter the site where the word groomer is forbidden while actual groomers are welcome, you couldn't make this shit up.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 27/06/2020 08:41

From TRA comments I've come across on twitter over the last few months, GL has been targeted because they think he's our leader - that we women can't think and organise for ourselves but instead need a man to put ideas in our empty little heads. Which really exposes the raging hatred of and contempt for women behind this movement imo. Well if those people think we'll suddenly become Stepford compliant while our rights and reality are being sneaked away they'll be surprised. Tbh, I think the UK movement has gone as far as it can with the Tory plans to maintain the current level of women's rights due to be announced and these are the last tantrums. There'll no doubt be plenty of attempted reverse ferrets by the SJWs soon but too late.

littlbrowndog · 27/06/2020 08:42

Glinner 💪💪💪

Creamcar · 27/06/2020 08:43

The actions of TRAs on Twitter and on MN are very illuminating and really undermine their assertion that they just want to be allowed to live their life, discover their authentic self, etc.

It’s awful but unsurprising that @glinner has been banned. I hope he’ll be back. Brave, brave man.

TornadoOfSouls · 27/06/2020 08:44

Yes I think they do think it’s some sort of organisation and he is some sort of leader.

Thanks @glinner. Brew

Glinner · 27/06/2020 08:46

Thanks for the kind messages, everyone. I'm ok. I knew it was coming because whenever I unlocked my account I would be mass-reported, and I couldn't be arsed going through all my tweets and deleting all the references to 'grooming'.

There was a bloke with blue eyeshadow/hair/piercings whose timeline was mainly images of himself having a Barclays and he said "I find it hard to believe you've never used porn" and I said "Not Ronald McDonald porn, no". Maybe that did it.
