I wonder if this person will be subjected to the same treatment as Caroline Farrow?

Let's wait and see!

It’s correct that a violent offender transwoman making death threats against women who are standing up for women’s rights is “a real issue”.

The only poster “blurring” that issue with mention of Pride, drag, and Sam Smith on this thread is the latest derailer, bluemoonswoon.

Yuh-huh!

The thing is - violence against women is a serious problem. Which you are all rightly aware of. This man in the post should be reported to the police (not just reporting the post on social media).
My point is though - there are loads of men making violent and rape threats all over social media. The way that mumsnet users just seem to focus in on the ones by trans women along with the threads that I mentioned earlier (about Sam smith as an example) will make many people think that your problem is will all trans women.
But in fact, your problem is with violent men.

Well done, you have managed to completely miss the point.
What is being highlighted here is how violent men who identify as Trans are being treated compared to non violent women who merely try and promote reality and enforce boundaries

bluemoonswoon · 08/06/2023 09:57

...and i get that the real issue is that intersection between trans women who are also violent. BUT when you blur that very, very serious problem with posts from mumsnet users being overly 'offended' by drag, or pride, or pronouns etc etc (and there are many posts on here that can be really mean) really damages your argument and distracts from the real problem.
You come across as bullies rather than wanting to protect women's rights.

But it’s the cultural changes, like forcing people to change their language and display pronouns as a sign of adherence, that is ending up with situations where a judge thinks it’s sensible to allow a violent offender back on the streets simply because of a self-declared trans status.

The POINT Is that we can't tell which men will be violent and it's being a man (XY) that's the risk factor so that's why we don't want transwomen in our spaces or our daughters spaces.

The fact that it's predominantly men that commit violent sex crimes is why we want SINGLE SEX SPACES. With NO males in there whatever they're wearing or however they feel inside.

Given the fact that the % of transwomen in prison, convicted of sexual assault, is higher than for the rest of the male prison population it's suggestive that violent, predatory men already know that saying they're trans is a way to offend more easily and have an easier time once convicted (or a lesser sentence in this case). See also, Dolatowski, Bryson, White etc etc

Felix125 · 08/06/2023 10:07

SinnerBoy

The word 'victim' was used in the context of the sentence. ie if they continue with the threats......

The 'guy trying to silence Caroline' - as i have said quite a few times, we don't know if it is the same person on this occasion. So I have referred the them as a reporting person. We also don't know what the allegation is.

If people are on the end of disturbing threats - then they will be a victim of that threat. If they contact police, they will be a 'reporting person' to that inquiry.

dimorphism · 08/06/2023 10:09

And when we tried to have this argument, repeatedly over years, we were told 'oh, this never happens' so having very clear examples of where it DOES and HAS happened: Le Fey, Dolatowski, Bryson, White, and the rest (many others also) is what we've been forced to do because no one would accept women just wanting single sex spaces as a legitimate point of view without a load of examples.

Because despite it all being about self ID for men and their lived experience, we women aren't seen as fully human and just saying we want the privacy, dignity and safety of a single sex space isn't enough.

So here we are.

Where are your figures for this?

The vast majority of males in prison will not identify as trans

You can also find the statistics on the Sex Matters website and Keep Prisons Single Sex website.

Why do you think Le Fey, a convicted criminal (convicted for violence with a claw hammer), is not being treated in the same way as Caroline Farrow?

IcakethereforeIam · 08/06/2023 10:39

So this guy, making violent threats, actually has convictions for violent acts? He's not just talking the talk.

That Judge was a coward. It's his job, he should have jailed this man. It, to him, was a difficult choice and he bottled it.

Rightsraptor · 08/06/2023 10:42

Well, he's not scary at all.

knittingaddict · 08/06/2023 10:48

My advice would be to NOT engage with felix125. It will get you nothing but acute frustration.

But it’s the cultural changes, like forcing people to change their language and display pronouns as a sign of adherence, that is ending up with situations where a judge thinks it’s sensible to allow a violent offender back on the streets simply because of a self-declared trans status.

And this is hugely important.

I have found a few posters lately who have used this ‘you only talk about extreme trans cases or LGBT organisations when you discuss safeguarding.’ Every time this silencing tactic, and it is a silencing tactic, is used it missed the point. A group that is untouchable in discussion is being forced. No safeguarding process should allow that at all. And yet, here we are.

Would we be discussing any old male who was not jailed because the judge couldn’t decide which prison to send them, and who was out there threatening women online? Fucking oath we would. Why should this male perpetrator be treated any differently?

No untouchable group! It is a very dangerous tactic.

Felix125 · 08/06/2023 10:58

My advice would be:

Engage with who you want to engage with. Don't let others dictate who you can or can't engage with. Its a chat forum and its your choice what you post and who you post to.

Boiledbeetle · 08/06/2023 11:25

So the same police force that deals with Caroline will also deal with this guy?

Will be interesting to see how it pans out

IcakethereforeIam · 08/06/2023 11:28

There are horrible people in every section of society. There are awful trans women, there are awful people on mumsnet, there are awful gender critical people.
Stop using the extremes of human behaviour as an excuse to bully trans people as a group (I see it here all the time).
Stick to core of your beliefs and focus on what matters (women only spaces / women only sports / legally what makes a woman).
Please can everyone here STOP with the stuff that you just personally find offensive as you're losing the argument when people body shame Sam Smith, or have a problem with drag (no, it is NOT the same as blackface, stop pretending it is), having a problem with pride. The amount of positives that come from pride far, far outweigh the negatives (especially for young people trying to find acceptance).
Being 'offended' by something - just because it makes you uncomfortable (such as someone's lifestyle or how they look) isn't important.
Protecting women's female only spaces is important.
Focus mumsnet, focus! You're losing the room.
(And for those so say things like 'the tide is turning' --- no it's not, only for the far right and daily mail readers. It's not exactly winning the argument is it).

What the fuck? This is your actual response to those messages?

A man publically threatens to violently disembowel women and you are here scolding us for talking about it? JFC. I am genuinely stunned.

Okay, well if we come across as bullies and aren’t making our points about women’s rights heard, then you might as well leave us to it so we can drive everyone away.

You must be glad that you can be certain that we won’t be changing anyone’s mind.

And of course if you want to promote women’s rights, then you should probably go to another site which isn’t filled with bigots and bullies, as you’re unlikely to change the minds of such a group.

Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake, remember? Leave us to it. We’ll take it from here.

Zodfa · 08/06/2023 11:44

Funny, I don't remember anyone on Mumsnet issuing violent threats, or anyone in the GC movement being charged in court with menacing people with a hammer in supermarkets.

BlackeyedSusan · 08/06/2023 11:35

I'm suddenly wondering if I'm right. Is Caroline Sussex or Surrey?

Boiledbeetle · 08/06/2023 11:48

My bad, Caroline is Surrey. This guy is Sussex!

All these S places with double letters are the same to me!

goes off to look at a map.
