Thought to give IW a break.

The Hate Crime...crime(?) comes into force on 1st April, according to the article. The SNP has not engaged with any of the organisations who have expressed concerns and no-one knows what, if any, training the Police have been given.

Although I generally have no luck with them I might give the scone recipe a go.

I'm trying to corner the popcorn market. Demand is about to go off the scale.

WallaceinAnderland · 19/03/2024 18:28

Looks like we might be coming closer to a bit of consensus after all.

Petulant language but same point.

I’m being absolutely serious when I say a genuine resolution for Terfs who can’t bear to be close to trans people is a Gender Critical loo, or changing area.

Yes, India, a nice large changing area for women who can recognise male people and would like them not to be there. That is indeed what would suit.

God, what a chump.

It’s purely about their imagined copyright on ‘Woman’. Nutters.

No darling, just the dictionary definition will do.

Marmite is not a suitable ingredient for brownies. That's just all kinds of wrong.

Why do they never get the nuance of the fact that us pesky women have no issue with trans people, it's just that we don't want MEN in our SINGLE SEX spaces.

I've made brownies with miso, twice, so they must have been okay.

Yes! Bring out the GC bogs and changing rooms. Except we know that they're the ones most women would use and, before you know it, tw would be complaining and hammering on the doors.

Desperation to be super special & oppressed combined with the insistence they very absolutely ARE women & NOBODY can tell otherwise (much less tell them otherwise) & it’s just BULLYING & being MEAN not give them everything they want immediately!

You are one sick puppy. Please seek help. Marmite kills (normal people).

India thinks that third spaces are a solution! Hallelujah! (and I say that as an atheist)
India deserves the Nobel peace prize for India's insight and compassion.
One tiny suggestion... perhaps it would be better for the new spaces to be set up for ALL progressives, however they identify? Lots of cubicles AND urinals and the gender criticals (as they say) could keep the toilets that were designed for women. Sorted!

Boiledbeetle · 19/03/2024 19:28

So, the little wee mite has been weaned.

Unfortunately having never been a mother weaning isn't my thing, so I handed the task over to some fellow mumsnetters.

You sick sick women!

On the plus side I don't have to feed it marmalade by hand any more, but it will probably starve to death in my house.

By George I think they've got it. 🙄

Yes yes. We're all nuts. You do your alternative reality in that one, have a lovely time, and the women who need single sex facilities free of male people because of reality being a fucker and reasons that apparently are never going to fit between said male people's ears no matter how women try, will be in the single sex space getting on with their lives.

And we'll all be fine.

WallaceinAnderland · 19/03/2024 19:57

Because they can't bear to openly acknowledge that TWAM I suppose, even though they know it themselves.

Well.

Either or both little oj and/or adrian harrop made the same point.

It's like they thought of it first or something. Never mind women have been saying for time, we need our own spaces and they too can have their own third space. Sheesh.
Like the point just whooshes over there heads.

I'm gonna try the marmite spaghetti.

And when the TERF loos happen, and the MtFs watch all the women going in, how many will be unable to resist and start to identify as gender critical TERFs to go in and get their validation fix?
At that point it will be like all the matter and anti-matter in the universe coming together in a single instant of utter annihilation and the insanity of the cosmic gender bubble will finally have burst and collapse in on itself.

It was Harrop:

He wanted women banned from women’s toilets as they are a danger to TW.

I'm guessing a really clumsy attempt at satirising the radfem stance that TW need a third space, which falls down when you consider the overrepresentation of sexual offenders amongst incarcerated TW.

StealthSpinach · 20/03/2024 03:27

@VitoCorleoneOfMNMafia - you would think so, but he apparently was completely (obliviously) serious…

India, dear - we have them.

They are called"Women's Spaces".

(Re: the marmite controversy. The prospect of marmite hidden in real food is so hideous and inhumane that I'm half expecting the Scottish Parliament to entrench it in law.

Just no. No, no, no, NO! Thank you)
