Oh dear, Scotsman.

Portnlemon · 01/08/2020 20:31

The Scotsman! What a ridiculous gossip rag!

Why anyone has to deny being transphobic I don't know. The whole world is transphobic, the word applies to everyonw and everything, all the time, get over it!

nauticant · 01/08/2020 20:37

"Are you now, or have you ever been, or will you ever be, a transphobe?"

Siablue · 01/08/2020 20:40

Am I to take from this that she liked a tweet and people made up some fake tweets with ridiculous comments after that.

Portnlemon · 01/08/2020 20:41

I am your lordship, I am an honest transphobe your honour.

Doffs cap.

aliasundercover · 01/08/2020 20:43

They seem to have moved from transwomen are women #nodebate to women aren't women #nodebate

Yeah, they keep getting dafter. Only transwomen are women, actual women are ‘cervix haters’.
I am beginning to wonder if there are secret feminists encouraging them to spout this obvious rubbish to show just how ridiculous TRAs truly are

PronounssheRa · 01/08/2020 20:45

Oh what a load of bollocks. It's this crap that will break the Labour Party, last time I spoiled my vote, the next I will actively vote against Labour unless they get a grip.

And Owen jones, stay in your fucking lane and out of discussions on women's rights.

ThePurported · 01/08/2020 20:45

Scotsman attributes the fake tweet to her.
It's all just so fucking pitiful.

BentBastard · 01/08/2020 20:46

@Violetparis

Bent just seen a tweet by the Labour MP Neil Coyle supporting Rosie Duffield.

That's the one! Thanks. Glad he's not deleted anyway!

For when the Scotman quietly modifies their article to remove the libel:

Roseburn · 01/08/2020 20:52

Oh dear Scotsman. And you'd published some really good stuff recently too.

DianasLasso · 01/08/2020 21:04

For fuck's sake.

I am just so done with this.

No one - and I mean fucking no-one anywhere, ever - bangs on about campaigns about prostate cancer being targeted at men being transphobic.

And let's not kid ourselves that this is in any way, shape, or form about transmen (who actually have cervixes, even if they'd rather they didn't). This is all about a certain subset of very vocal transwomen not wanting women to be able to talk about female biology, ever.

[Imagine primal scream of sheer rage echoing round my suburban living room at this point].

BatShite · 01/08/2020 21:04

Oh honestly, its quite obvious that 'shitty people' tweet is fake. Ridiculous.

diggadoo · 01/08/2020 21:06

This reply has been withdrawn

This has been withdrawn by MNHQ at the request of the OP.

NiceGerbil · 01/08/2020 21:06

The idea that stating the cervix is a female organ is enough to get death threats and reports to employers is just so horrendous.

Saying that woman (girl) is nothing more than a gender role is so insulting.

The whole thing is a mysoginistic shit show of epic proportions.

Melroses · 01/08/2020 21:11

A bit of a lack of due diligence there by the Scotsman. That tweet is so way out, you would have thought they would double check their double checking before attributing it.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 01/08/2020 21:14

A bit of a lack of due diligence there by the Scotsman

Who has time to do due diligence when they can be the first to call a woman at transphobe...

I got called told I have "strong TERF energy" yesterday

I quite like that actually.

TheRealMcKenna · 01/08/2020 21:23

"Are you now, or have you ever been, or will you ever be, a transphobe?"

You are a transphobe unless you are actively a trans ally and are working to break down the systems of cis-privilege from which you benefit.

Someone’s going to write a book called ‘Female Fragility’ and then charge woke idiots $12,000 an hour to lecture them about it. The author will be called Dolores Di’Angelo.

I’m so done with all this.

Strong TERF energy sounds like something that could be harnessed to move mountains....

BTE. - big TERF energy!

Neil Coyle MP and Brendan Chiltern, the Labour leader of Ashford Council have support her - and are now being subject to complaints themselves. They've been threatened with everything from deselection to 'unconscious bias training', with many complainants being elected members of various youth wings.

Maybe Labour ought to reintroduce the ancient custom of Kin punishment for uppity women and their supporters.

GCAcademic · 01/08/2020 22:12

They've been threatened with everything from deselection to 'unconscious bias training', with many complainants being elected members of various youth wings.

I had to do unconscious bias training at work. I can confirm that it had no effect on my hardened and bigoted understanding of biology. I know one academic who has been sent for unconscious bias training on multiple occasions due to his persistent "transphobia". He still thinks biological sex is real.

Unfortunately Starmer set the precedent for this sort of nonsense when he cravenly agreed to attend such training himself for commiting one of those offences that exist only in the mind of some power-crazed wokester. The combination of his cowardice and the unbridled toxicity of its youth activists could not be any worse for Labour. I fully expect an even bigger majority for the Tories at the next election if Labour keeps this up. Which, given the monumental chaos that the pandemic and no-deal Brexit is unleashing, is quite something.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 01/08/2020 22:14

"Pretend they're courageous victims"?

You utter piece of nothing-grot. You snivelling little smirk.

Sorry. Not on Twitter so had to let it out somewhere. Is there somewhere I can put in a complaint about OJ? What is he insinuating here? That these women are pretending they are victims? That these women are 'leveraging their trauma', was that the phrase? I don't know that I've been so disgusted by a journalist in my life, and I've read Rod Liddle.

Signing off before I break my keyboard.
