Was anyone following this on twitter?

This the on-campus signage that was displayed at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP).

It's not accurate with regards to transmen.

It's not accurate with regards to transmen.

You're right. To be expected, I suppose - these people can only make their argument by misrepresenting the other side's views. It was still unusual for the first sentence to be a simple definition, rather than some hyperbolic nonsense about hating trans people, or biological essentialism or what have you.

It's seeing things like this that make me want to join Twitter.

Luckily the feeling passes quite quickly, I waste enough time reading and getting angry on here as it is!

Twitter isn't as bad as it was at the moment, I haven't had any death or rape threats since Elon took over. It is almost pleasant.

And Maya is back on there as of yesterday.

I love Moley's response (my autocarrot wants to make that Marley). But I agree, WTF were they thinking putting that up in the first place? Thank heavens for the spotlight of social media in this instance

Some other versions of the sign I saw on twitter!

And some clarification from Lily Maynard

Lily Maynard cuts through the bullshite.

It is our absolute aim to make all of our students, staff and the wider community feel welcome and included at the institute

Except female students who need single sex spaces because of trauma, disability, culture, faith, belief, and cannot use mixed sex spaces. Then we embrace prejudice and hatred, and report them to the police. #misogynyracismableism4U

I just despair people like this hold responsible jobs.

Outstanding! Says it all. Posters of that everywhere please.

Love these, particularly the first one!

Oh dear

"We didn't mean to burn them, Edward."

Yes! This is what infuriates me about the whole mess. Somehow gc women are the only group you can discriminate against. Wtf?

Please keep posting spoof copies. I need a laugh!

Somehow gc women are the only group you can discriminate against.

They don't even have to be politically aware of what GC means, they merely need to be biologically female with a fundamental need that renders them unable to stroke male egos by performing a belief that a mixed sex space isn't mixed sex.

Women are not choosing to be traumatised, Autistic, to have dementia, to be disabled, to have faiths and cultures and lived experience purely to annoy males who want to make use of them. Punishing them for daring to exist in society with those needs is inhumane madness. It's misogyny, ignorance and prejudice on crack.

Here you go:

”We do not tolerate any form of discriminatory behaviour, violence or harassment in the ICMP community.
If you experience or witness any incident of this kind, we encourage you to report it using the form below.”

Brilliant! And Moley can use punctuation properly, too.

Quite the ratio: archive.ph/eLAB3
