Just when you think you can no longer be shocked

[caughtalightsneeze]

When I read this headline I thought it was describing the victim as 'a mother', as the media often does. But no, it's his own mother

Jesus Christ that’s messed up

Huh? Where does it say that the OP thought it was a trans person? Nobody except you has tried to link this to trans issues

FlowerCupcake have to bring trans into everything don't you

Oh dear, the random TRA/MRA bots are here to distract us from the fact that a 34 year old man raped his own mother. Let's stay on topic, people.

Reported you flower cupcake. What a disgusting thing to say.

And back to the op, that is seriously messed up. I don't think I've ever heard anything like that before.

Unfortunately I’m not as shocked as I once would have been. Falling down the rabbit hole has opened my eyes wide.

The poor woman.

Good grief. Poor woman I hope she has lots of support around her.

I'm so sick of media using 'having sex with' instead of rape. Use the right words. Poor woman. What a vile human that man is.

He’s a father of four with serious boundary issues. I really hope there’s some boundaries he didn’t cross.

for his mum and his wider family.

Thats so awful

Jesus christ thatbis grim. That poor woman.

I'm so sick of media using 'having sex with' instead of rape.

Agree. It all stems from the obsession with not damaging men's precious reputations by calling them rapists.

What did I miss during the night? What are all the deleted posts about?

If we tell you it will be deleted 🙂 basically someone tried a derail and it failed but people discussed the derail so everyone got deleted we can now stay on topic

Some idiot assumed you thought the headline meant the rapist was trans, apropos of nothing

That's a pretty weird conclusion to jump to.

But let me guess, I was accused of transphobia Even though the only person who mentioned it was the person making the accusation.

Yep pretty much

Pretty much. Yep.
