It totally did not wander off topic

[WallaceinAnderland]

It was bang on topic the whole way through.

Yup, stayed on the subject of misgendering all the way through. Weekend mods?

Yeah, I was in the middle of typing when it disappeared. Infuriating.

So now it's censored

Idk the tra straw men were slightly far from the point, dragging racism into it again.

I hadn't gone that far but no, it seemed on topic. I'm rather annoyed it was deleted, they probably didn't like that it was trending.

Obviously we were making far too much sense in a polite and engaging fashion which provided no useful screenshots.

Disappointing to see this happening on MN, almost as if there were TRAs in charge of modding tonight

Complete arbitrary nonsense depending on who is on police duty on MN that night.

Deletions around here make NO sense whatsoever.
Some posts left to stand which state exactly the same thing as a deleted post etc.
It seems a lot of stuff "isn't in the spirit" or has "wandered off topic". (ie discusses pesky reality).

Oh, this thread disappeared but is back now? What's going on?

It didn't disappear for me

What topic did we wander into? 😕

It was a discussion about sex and gender.
In a forum called
Feminism: Sex & gender discussion

Yes but women shouldn't be saying no to men

Especially if they are a member of the Sacred Caste.

Late to this but if threads are now being deleted for ‘wandering off topic’ then mumsnet is truly fucked

But the thread was about misgendering and posters were discussing the reasons for and against it. Absolutely no off topic. Unless you count the attempt to bring in racism briefly.

😂

Someone's having a tantrum because the mummies have stopped being kind.

See this is what I'm not clear on.
I've seen plenty of threads where people assert that TW are NOT women.
I've seen people say so and so is a MAN (certain trans celebs and wannabee MPs etc)

This is allowed to stand usually.
Aren't we allowed to say that in law? Aren't GC beliefs protected under law?

What is it that prompts a deletion? It's never made explicit enough as far as I'm concerned. They might as well say "I'm deleting this because I don't like it" or "I personally disagree with you here so I'm deleting this".

What's the point of a specific sex and gender forum in which we are not allowed to actually discuss REAL sex and REAL gender then?
"Only enter this women's forum if you are prepared to pretend that you believe in legal and societal fictions and are prepared to commit to using the pre-accepted language, to deny biology and submit to compelled speech and center the feelings of natal men at all costs."

You can only discuss how women are affected by men pretending to be women, if you pretend they are women.

What is it that prompts a deletion?

I'm starting to think its a toss of a coin. The heads i win, tails you lose kind. Hope im wrong though.

It must depend on mods. Otherwise we wouldn't get these random deletions and be so unsure of what we are allowed to discuss and what is censored.

Ffs. And they're "not sure this is helping anyone" Well it certainly isn't helping anyone when it's delected, is it.

I'm sure it was helping the OP who was faced with the problem. I expect they've gone to bed and missed all the excellent supportive points. When women are faced with fear and confrontation at work, what better way to silence them than cut them off from support.

Exactly
