Langcleg is vindicated

Mumsnet thought that Langcleg was wrong to state safeguarding regarding children who thought they were trans. When langcleg argued for our kids Mumsnet didn’t like it. Mumsnet caved to the men. Instead of champion safeguarding, Mumsnet got rid of an expertise on this. Well, Langcleg was right and the Tavistock judicial review shows this.
Langcleg kept me sane in a world where others tried to gaslight me for my refusal to believe that my child was born in the wrong body.
Shame on you Mumsnet for cancelling the very people who help us parents. The voice of sanity. More importantly the voice of support. Do you really think langcleg did this for her own gain? No. She did this to protect us all. Gonna report this post now to bring it to the attention of the monitors.
Langcleg if you are still reading these posts I thank you so much for you help. I wish you were here now to comment on the Tavistock review and feel vindicated.

I don't even particularly like tinsel

Well!

Just speechless 😳

I have a set of atomic fondue forks

At least they wouldn't take much room but they must be a bugger to find.

If I'd have realised what a thing this would end up being I'd have thought the username through better.
RufustheSniggeringReindeer · 10/10/2020 21:10

Well i just put two and two together

I obviously made 5 😀

And now I suppose you're going to tell us you don't believe in angels?

(I tear up if I see small children transformed into members of the heavenly host by tinsel.)

You'll be telling us next that you're not actually a reindeer.

@DeaconBoo

Tbh i found her infinitely patient! Didn't usually get derailed or bogged down in arguing the toss (which is my natural inclination), always brought the argument back round to key principles.

I found it genuinely educational, as i don't have a safeguarding background, and it's certainly not something that's always intuitive.

Me too

Sorry I didn’t refresh the thread so didn’t spot we have moved on from LangCleg ( may she rest in peace ) to seasonal photos.

How are the fondue forks atomic? (Other than in the respect that everything is made of atoms).
They’re that mid century style with coloured balls on the end, but I enjoyed Errol’s excellent joke.

I like those, I can imagine them on original Star Trek.

@Ereshkigalangcleg

I comfort myself with the thought that it is an unlikely scenario that MNHQ will say "Oh alright, Lang can come back, but only if Tinsel eats the WBH"

I felt the same Grin

That's fine then Eresh, you and Tinsel can be excused and I alone shall choke down that horrific breakfast combo should MN call upon one of us to do so...and I would be proud to do it!.......

Kind of like the Hunger Games.

Please, please let me see a picture of the miniature Klingon weapon. I love Star Trek with an absolute passion and I love mini things. This sounds like a match made in heaven for me!

@BernardBlackMissesLangCleg

I think there are some posters here who won’t be happy until they can openly refer to trans women as ‘men’ and ‘he’

well yes. they are men Confused

Snuck that one in under the radar didn’t you! Well done.
Moonbasealpha · 14/10/2020 20:21

@Dances

Moonbasealpha And forcing women to refer to males as 'She' is all that is good and kind, yes?

How many fingers?

Just the two.
Moonbasealpha · 14/10/2020 20:26

You're not looking hard enough then. Particularly since the fall of r/gender critical.

Maybe Tinsel, I still can’t see any. There certainly haven’t been any of the I’m trans ask me anything and let’s be friends type posts for ages.

BernardBlackMissesLangCleg · 14/10/2020 20:50

Snuck that one in under the radar didn’t you! Well done

There's nothing under the radar about it

only men can be transwomen
I'm afraid I still don't really understand what you're getting at, or why using correct pronouns is bad

Confused Confused Confused

EmpressJKRowlingSpartacus · 14/10/2020 22:14

When I was a kid, I remember my brother, sister & I all poring through the Argos catalogue & circling what we wanted for birthdays or Christmas. It was a very big thing.

Moonbasealpha · 14/10/2020 22:20

Confused Confused Confused to you too.

Datun · 14/10/2020 22:27

Lang was certainly right about safeguarding being absolutely key.

If people followed normal and, up until now, respected and adhered to, safeguarding measures, no men would be playing in women's sport.

I dont see how any post can be ‘snuck under the radar’
