YANBU: man

I can’t even begin to express myself.

And after a good discussion in AIBU it’s been relegated to the naughty step

I took a screen shot when I woke up to go to the toilet in the early hours. Not sure what they were when it was moved.

Terrifying not a woman, a man

What a head mess for anyone a victim of this

MarshaBradyo · 14/07/2021 07:41

Why doesn’t the article say trans woman at least

Really annoyed we have to be aligned with this in any way

Why has this been moved. ?

Much the same not long ago

Always does, yet there are plenty of threads in AIBU that could be moved into others and they stay. It won't get seen as much in the Feminism section Sad
borntobequiet · 14/07/2021 07:50

I’m sure we know why this has been moved, it’s to filter and diffuse the cleansing power of sunlight.

DaisiesandButtercups · 14/07/2021 07:52

94% evil bigots, no wonder it had to be moved to the chokey.

ErrolTheDragon · 14/07/2021 07:53

I suppose the OPs 2nd post may have been interpreted as her wanting it moved but I infer she didn't actually report the thread and request it.

This thread was correctly configured as a poll, which can only be done on AIBU at the moment, not as a debate. So moving it makes little sense.

Warmduscher · 14/07/2021 07:56

Presumably the child told the police he was assaulted by a man, so how come this person was arrested and charged if this person is a woman? That’s some serious misgendering by the Canadian police force.

Warmduscher · 14/07/2021 07:56

Not sure where the bold came from there.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 14/07/2021 07:57

And on top of everything else, the police are currently appealing for witnesses and for other victims/victims' families to come forward.

Suppose you heard about it on the radio? Or you're blind and use a screenreader?

DaisiesandButtercups · 14/07/2021 07:59

I agree ErrolTheDragon. I would think any topic should stay in AIBU if it is there for the poll. That is the point of the place after all. To see a vote from a broad range of opinions. To catch those who might have a passing interest in the particular question being polled but wouldn’t likely visit the particular board. I have looked at AIBU’s on a wide variety of topics but apart from an occasional trip to AIBU I rarely leave FWR, sorry I mean naughty step.

ChewtonRoad · 14/07/2021 07:59

Ruby Eby is a man, and a horrible one as well.

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 14/07/2021 07:59

@DismantledKing

I notice that the (currently) 6% who believe that this is a woman don’t have the bottle to come on here and argue their point.
I voted YABU last night as, in the photo the OP has posted, I can't see an Adam's apple! I've seen a closer up photo now and can see the facial hair etc which I still can't see on the original post as the photo is too small

No I didn't want it to be moved and I didn’t report it and request it, but I panicked that it would be deleted because I put it in the wrong place (especially as I have been vocal about being unhappy about the naughty corner) and I wanted it to stand. I’m a bit clearer headed this morning after a night's sleep.

I wanted the vote (look at the number who have voted vs the number who have posted).

I, personally, would have no issue with a separate recording of crime for transwomen and transmen. The issue is, of course, that this will be recorded as a crime committed by a woman. (Disclaimer: If found guilty, of course. I am not suggesting guilt.)
ErrolTheDragon · 14/07/2021 08:06

Maybe you should report, explain that 2nd post may have been misinterpreted and ask they move it back?
Although tbh the vote was pretty clear and unlikely to significantly change.

Lalliella · 14/07/2021 08:07

You’re all wrong about the definition of a woman.

A person with a womb who has given birth cannot be described as a woman.

A person with a penis who sexually assaults people can be described as a woman.

For fuck’s sake. No wonder there’s a lot of confused kids out there.

DumplingsAndStew · 14/07/2021 08:07

Moving this out of AIBU and removing then poll silences those who have a fear of putting their name to their opinion.

Sophoclesthefox · 14/07/2021 08:09

That’s a man, baby.

Of course it’s been shuttled off to the naughty step, you can’t expect The Monitors to have to comb through thousands of threads over the whole site to find their proof that MN is mystifyingly obsessed with trans issues! Be reasonable! Get them in here so they’re nicely contained, it’s not nice to try to alert women that these days we assume positive intent from burly sexual predators, who would never try to deceive people.

It Never Happens.

No words. Disgusting
