Really insightful post on X the platform formally known as Twitter I feel it's worth sharing on here:

Again I haven't watched but I'm told this film shows KJW in pink negligee messaging other similar men.

Staying well away from it then. Hello Tinsel.

Poly? Pan? I have other ideas but I think they’d get me deleted.

Good point, I expect it's one of those. He says just afterwards that he is "polyflirtatious"

It’s at times like this we need SandyDrawsBadly back to sketch him fluttering his eyelashes at parrots.

There is no 'P' acronym that I can think of that would mean a 'trans kid' should be around the person professing to be it...

That was my thought. is poly and pan ever added to the alphabet soup? Even if this was what was meant, is that child suitable?

Is that a euphemism for "groomy"?

I don't know anyone on this thread IRL. I do know Jane Clare Jones. She's been really supportive of my court case.

I know Tinsel IRL. She’s an amazing, brave, gutsy woman who works bloody hard to support other trans widows.

Financially too, I trust.

I'd hate to think your case had been tainted by funds from white supremacists and christian nationalists.

Many posters on this Board are supportive of your case and have delved into their pockets to help fund it, you have no problem accepting their filthy lucre despite them apparently being horrendous right wing MAGA adjacent horrors do you?

What a nice man to invite to a feminist centred event! And to refer a parent of a vulnerable child to be guided by...

pickledandpuzzled · 12/01/2024 19:13

I don’t know anyone and take a while to catch up at times.

I’m in awe of several people who post here and are visible irl.

None of them is JCJ, whose statements are always barely comprehensible and so long winded I lose the will to live while trying to work out what she’s on about. I’m not dim- actually pretty damn bright and well educated- but with no academic background in feminism politics or sociology. Or whatever I’d need to translate her.

Anyone who is ‘disappointed’ in FWR is not on my Christmas list.

pickledandpuzzled · 12/01/2024 19:14

And I need to go and google to find out if I’m MAGA adjacent!

IamSarah · 12/01/2024 19:15

I can admire Tinsel's excellent campaign work for trans widows while also finding her extremely scathing. It feels like she is unable to say a nice word about other feminists, or support their campaigns, unless they absolutely share her world view.

Really fucking unnecessary.

Might have a t-shirt printed saying "extremely scathing".

You are being ironic aren't you?

If not I cannot believe you posted this with a straight face.

Had a look through some tweets between Lily Maynard and Helen Lewis from a couple of days ago; someone said that a woman rightly angrily disputed that KJW was someone to refer a child who and suggested Bayswater.

False allegations are invariably projections.

It's a statement of fact.

Have you ever read the Actual Gender Critical Left Facebook group? It’s full of women slating other women for not sharing their world view.

I am sure you can find someone who will sell you that teeshirt.

Funny. That's exactly how I feel about JCJ, except for admiring her campaign work.

Far from admiration, JCJ's campaigning fills me with trepidation. She may be a Labour party member, traditional party of the working classes, but I think that if JCJ was a union rep for me at work, she'd negotiate us a pay cut. That's if she didn't have us paying to work by the time she was done.
