Another TRA making violent threats

[DerekFaker]

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

Let's wait and see!

I don't even know what it sounds like.

Laughs maniacally!

Right!

You can tell this was a few years ago, there's a working ferry!

This'll probably get me kicked off MN.

Hands up all who think @Boiledbeetle should watch an entire episode of Balamory for research purposes. Or perhaps just the theme tune on repeat (as is currently happening in my head... ).

🙋

Ha ha, cross post.

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah that's not ear wormy AT ALL!

@dimorphism I'm glad it's not just me 😆

Ah, the days of Balamory.....I bring you the PC Plum song.... which actually isn't too bad (ok, ok, after years of children's TV I possibly have a low bar)

I always find it rather fascinating the evolution of the TRA 'argument' which can be observed over time here.

It's evolved through -
No debate...
That doesn't happen...
That's not enough times for it to count...
Well, it might happen but you're not talking about it politely enough...
Both sides as bad as each other...
Right wing funding (etc etc)....
Anyone I don't like is a Nazi!...
I'm as GC as they come but...
It's men!...(no shit)
Etc etc etc.

I wonder sometimes if a memo goes out as it's all so very predictable.

PC Plum seems sweet but incredibly annoying after the first thirty seconds.....ohhh!

I think the problem is there is so little to back up their side that they end up all having to rely on the same very limited pool of sites stats and info etc that there's no ability for nuance within their argument. So it sounds like they all parrot the same shit because they do.

Just trying this out....plumsplaining....?

Liking it. I know what you're on about 😁

I look forward to the expanded definition in years to come in the dictionary, you know the bit where it explains the origin of the word.

First recorded use MN 🕶

The thing is,

a) These people really show who they are with violent threats
b) Trans allies refuse to condemn such people, or even distance themselves, thereby showing who they are too,

😂

I'm ok with plumsplaining but I do feel that the original Plum is perhaps a little maligned. After all, when he doesn't have enough crimes to deal with, he goes and studies the wildlife and helps them, rather than - oh I don't know - berating women.

Although maybe that Owl really didn't want to be there and had an order placed on it....

And he DID eat ALL the custard creams.

Thus saving us the misery of some of the worst biscuits.

How very dare you!

We are done!

If you can't respect the custard creams you can't respect me!

Your intolerance aimed at the poor maligned custard cream reveals a deep and disturbing side of you that up until now you had managed to keep hidden behind your, I see now obviously fake, reasonable person facade.

I'm so disappointed in you SinnerBoy. Quite frankly I expected better from you.

It's not just one or two lunatics, so yes, the trans-activist movement should be under a duty to address their problem of violence and threats.

The only thing worse than a custard cream is a Rich Tea biscuit. Might as well be eating a bit of plasterboard.

Link also to absolute lack of capacity to listen to, never mind understand, anyone else's view point. Empathy, emotional intelligence and capacity to handle other view points isn't a big feature, but a belief and expectation of controlling other people's reality and beliefs is.

The innocence of believing if you say 'I'm as a GC as they come but' will convince everyone is a bit worrying really. You just say the magic words and everyone does and believes what you tell them.

Yep, they seem to be stuck at about age 8 of verbal reasoning and arguing.

My 13 year old can put together a more coherent argument for completely unreasonable demands. Most recently, nike air trainers - have you seen the price?!! Not to mention other reasons for not buying nike.

Anyway, custard creams are wonderful biscuits, no debate. I will stick my fingers in my ears and hum the PC Plum song if you try and bring facts into this argument.

I like the Rich Tea biscuits….
My favourite are Venetians (with the currants and icing) - but I don’t know anyone else who likes them!
