How does Joss Prior get away with it?

Thank you @Glinner for your latest Substack post on Joss Prior issuing a twitter threat against various GC twitter users. The list includes Sally Challen's son, who has never had any skin in this game. A man who has had to campaign to have his abused mother released from prison now has to deal with a death threat.

Not Prior, but some lawyer also posted something vile to the recently widowed Dr Louise Moody. I won't repeat it here. It is set out in the link. The little coward appears to have deleted his twitter page.

Like Glinner, I am sick the the "both sides" equivalence drawn by people like that Fawcett Society woman. Women on the GC side, and men like Glinner, Arty, Simon Fanshawe, do not behave in any way like this. And the furore if we did would be incredible.

Why do they get away with it?

I'll never understand how Prior is still on twitter.

WanderinWomb · 22/06/2021 15:13

I notice one of the people on the list is Lord Hunt .

Can one casually suggest poisoning a member of the House of Lords like that with no come uppance?

Why is Joss Prior going after Sally Challen's son?

@YellowFish12

Why is Joss Prior going after Sally Challen's son?
Prior appears to have shared a list compiled by a feminist without bothering to research who was on it.

As to how there’s been no ban, goodness knows. Guess the usual male abuser’s defence “I was only joking” is likely in play here. And given that the senior bods at Twitter were friends with WaxMyBalls, presumably they’re not that fussy about endorsing such people.

YellowFish12 · 22/06/2021 15:44

Thanks AnyOldPrion. It’s almost like some Twitter users just like attacking for attacking sake isn’t it?

I know, Pandora . Helen Stanisland can get banned for saying me can't be women, and Megan Murphy can get banned for "misgendering" a person of questionable morality, who uses both male and female names in their twitter profile. And yet, Prior gets away with issuing death threats and misgendering GC women like this:

The online gendercritical movement is basically men pretending to be women to try and get other women to hate on trans people..

But the women they think they are talking to, are men pretending to be women too.

Its just a load of blokes barking 'misogynist' at anything moves..

Why are you deleting posts, MN? This is a page you have decided is "debate". You can't have debate without free speech. Free speech can't be moderated by definition.

I hope that some of those on the list informed the police who take this seriously. I would not be taking that post as a joke at all.

Helleofabore · 22/06/2021 16:12

Well Ted I assume that some visitors from Twitter would be very infuriated if this thread was left up now that they have resumed their regular visits (as per tweets to that affect).

IntoAir · 22/06/2021 16:13

Prior must use a version of terf-blocker as I can't read their tweets - so can't report them. But please anyone who isn't blocked, please, report this person. Repeatedly. Their twitter feed is violent & threatens women.

"If you see someone taking the ‘both sides’ trope out for a trot, ask them to produce anything by me, Jess De Wahls, JK Rowling or Maya Forstater, or any other gender critical person, that even comes close to the poisonous filth produced by the men above."

What about that time he accused Grace Lavery of being a pedophile?

TedImgoingmad · 22/06/2021 16:30

I see Helleofabore . Perhaps if Joss isn't robust enough to stand by what Joss posts on Twitter, and doesn't want it discussed in wider society, then Joss should refrain from posting threatening words and misgendering people on a worldwide platform.

OP posts:
Helleofabore · 22/06/2021 16:33

yeahbutnaw

Who accused Lavery of being a paedophile? Graham? You must be able to provide some evidence surely that?

Helleofabore · 22/06/2021 16:35

Yes Ted. I would expect anyone who posts accusing posts on social media to either provide legitimate back up of their assertions or delete their posts.

I would expect really, as a supposedly fully grown adult that they would be self-aware enough not to actually post such things in the first place.

He didn’t. He commented that “Grace” Lavery was grooming. Not the same thing at all, and not poisonous filth either but plain truth
TedImgoingmad · 22/06/2021 16:44

yeahbutnaw being a mid mendacious there, aren't we? Glinner said this:

“I still use the word ‘grooming in various permutations because I believe that gender ideology is a form of societal grooming. It is a very real threat to the wellbeing of women and children.”

He's not wrong.

It's always interesting to see who comes out to defend some of the less palatable trans activists.

Helleofabore · 22/06/2021 18:01

So, no evidence then yeahbutnaw. I suspect you are falsely accusing another MNer of something rather serious.

WarriorN · 22/06/2021 18:04

Joss has an interesting twitter.

The way Joss writes is like no woman I know of.

Helleofabore · 22/06/2021 18:04

And by the way yeahbutnaw nice to see you defend a person who described women as objects for sex and reproduction recently. What was it again

“a woman is a person who is, or has been, presumed to adopt a passive role in sexual intercourse and a reproductive role in economic life.”

Nice defense of a misogynist there.

Aren’t you someone who tells us that we should be careful who we align ourselves with?

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 22/06/2021 18:07

Was Joss Prior one of the people who said vile things about Magdalen Berns' death?

I saw a lot of kindness from so-called-bigots after a Scottish trans woman died. Leeze Lawrence was involved in Scottish politics and was campaigning to have hair removal on the NHS for trans women, died suddenly at 38. The GC women I follow on twitter all expressed sadness that someone would die so young and sympathy for those who cared for Leeze.

The difference struck me.

Twitter monitors on here!
DoyoumindYesIBloodyDoMN · 22/06/2021 18:18

JP is a big fan of monitoring fwr content and may be around despite being banned under a main account and sock accounts.

JP was booted from twitter for a short time very recently but then reinstated.
