NB to MNHQ the video shows this being said. It is not just an allegation being shared.

We never condone violence, but threatening it to those uppity women is just fine and quite reasonable.

PurpleGreenandWhiteAreTheNewPrimaryColours · 10/07/2023 00:05

How long before a woman is killed for being a terf, and you get 'well , you know she ( TW).was just so very angry at the world and she's had such a rough time with all the transphobia, that terf was really asking for it of course she has the right to express her righteous anger and I'm sure she didn't mean for things to go so far..'

And I don't mean from the defence I mean from the judge.

I don't condone what was said and I hope the police investigate, but the video makes it clear the threat was against "TERFs" and not women.

It is also clear men can be "TERFs" as well, Graham Linehan is one example.

No, men cannot be radical feminists.

Unless you're just using 'terf' as a catch-all slur.

FigRollsAlly · 10/07/2023 00:14

If the threat was against Terfs and not women does that mean Terfs aren’t women?

So what is Graham Linehan?

Anyway we're yet sgain being dragged into pointless whataboutery.

Here's SJB being charming again.

A man who disagrees with gender ideology. He may be gender critical but I'm not sure if he calls himself that.

Why do you feel the need to label everyone?

This is Olympic grade trolling. Had the Little Britain crew done trans, this would have been the level of their vicious piss taking.

Well Merlin, TRAs would call me a terf for not wanting to share women’s changing facilities with this clearly dangerous person. What you are implying is that these threats are fine to any woman who wants to defend single sex spaces. The courts say our views are fine (and most of the general public hold them so just as well). Should I be threatened with a punch in the face for holding generally accepted and legally permissible views in your opinion?

"How can women be arrested for writing online men are men"

Noone has been arrested for that and you know it

It's called misgendering and yes it has been cited in evidence against women who have been arrested.

FigRollsAlly · 10/07/2023 00:26

No wonder SJB has to stand as an independent.

He quite clearly said 'punch HER in the fucking face'. It was a threat against women for all your denial.

Misgendering isn't a crime, noone has been arrested or charged for misgendering.

Are you sure there isn't more to it in the cases you are thinking of?

Charlize43 · 10/07/2023 01:00

Are they one of the Women's Equality Party lot? I see they are campaigning for MP...

Indeed. But what evil crimes lost Maya Forstater her job? Or warranted Allison Bailey her discriminatory treatment? Or earned JKR her numerous rape and death threats?

IwantToRetire · 10/07/2023 01:10

The information has been posted twice about SJB standing as an independent MP.

And web page talks about

Our mission is to inspire and promote impactful solutions

Which can only raise the question of what type of impactful solutions are going to be offered.

Ask Kate Scottow.

It’s vile people like this that, ironically, set back the cause of trans rights/acceptance. How odd that only some groups have the right to expression and freedom of thought. It’s very counter intuitive. I thought we all want to be accepted for who we are. I might just kick the next trans woman I see in the balls.

Misgendering isn't a crime, noone has been arrested or charged for misgendering.

A young autistic man was prosecuted for misgendering.
