Before Elon- and I’m not a fan- this wouldn’t have been on twitter, either.

It’s all a bit odd, this free speech business.

Being able to talk about Griffin may helped many other young women make better choices.

One of Griffins TikToks referred to an ‘out trans teen’.

I look at Griffin and the money they spent and see no possibility of anything else. Is there such a thing as a closeted trans teen? All the young transmen I’ve seen have looked very much like gender non conforming girls.

Of course there could be hundreds of passing transmen I simply haven’t spotted. But, you know.

Absolutely.

You'd think that would be something Stonewall could help with. I would genuinely get behind that if they did.

Absobloodylutely.

I'm a bit mystified as to why you believe the fruitfarms is a political site. I haven't seen a lot of political discussion on that site. What makes you think it's a site discussing far right politics?

Far right just means politics? That's new. I must write that down.

Thank you for that. Not many adults around here who refer to their teachers. And lots of women here willing to listen to people who are better informed than they are.

School holidays, eh?

Not many adults feel the need to critique others' posts like academic essays, and then tell them that they are, apparently, better informed while not being able to answer the question I originally asked.

And then imply I'm a pimply teenager on school break. Laughable.

Mein Kampf is a primary source of far right extremism that led to extreme horror and murder.

Is the argument that no one should ever read it to expose and document the harm it caused? By those who are against harm, racism and experimental eugenics?

The images and films of Griffin are primary sources collected by the farmers but were on social media posted by griffin. They document experimental medical malpractices.

As an aside, I went to look the other day and could only see banalness about various tv programmes, bar something on Farrow, Harrop and flying lawyer. There probably is a load of really awful stuff; Mr Beast's trans mate, 'mainstream' you tube lovies, appears to have done the same and tried to hide it all.

I've read all this on Twitter via exulansic and Becky. That is what is being discussed on this thread.

All the content was posted by Griffin originally. It should be being discussed in "left leaning" forums due to the unfathomable harm it's caused.

Instead we get glorification by channel 4 and the metro.

Did you read "most commonly" in my post, or did you just skip that in your haste to call me out?

You have no idea, you're just repeating things you read on Reddit or whatever. It's not a "far right" site. It's frequently racist, misogynistic, homophobic but those things aren't "far right" in and of themselves. "Far right" means a particular ideology. "Far left" a different one. There is often overlap in the type of extreme action promoted.

I don't use Reddit for that. I just look at cat stuff there 😄

I watched a vid of a detransitioner. One of the things they were told was that, "there is 5% risk of X, a 5% risk of Y, a 2% risk of Z..."

What they were not told is that although the risks are individually rare most people have several of them .

"All the content was posted by Griffin originally. It should be being discussed in "left leaning" forums due to the unfathomable harm it's caused."

It really should be discussed widely and in depth. Because this incredibly vulnerable person has been let down by those who professed to offer Griffin the care that Griffin needed. Instead they offered 'treatments' that led to Griffin's death.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 20/08/2024 10:06

Far right just means politics?

What else did you think it meant? It's a political ideology or type of ideology.

Taytoface · 20/08/2024 10:08

I like the hairy fruit farm place about as much as I like my sewer, but can appreciate that both perform a necessary function.

My sewer is dark and dank and smells and I would not want to spend much time there, but ain't nowhere else taking away all the shit.

No one is critiquing your posts like academic essays, unless you are referring to posters pointing out your lack of ability to support your statements. And then, yes, many adults DO do this on a discussion forum. You stated you have been on MN for a long time, yet you seem to not really have a grasp on how it works. But that is unsurprising.

And what questions do you have that have been left unanswered?

WarriorN · 20/08/2024 10:12

There's "right" and "left" but there's authoritarianism on both sides.

The key to a progressive society that centres the wellbeing of humans (and the planet) is one that is able to debate freely without restriction.

The key to good effective medicine is being able to raise issues of harm and review and debate, using scientific evidence.

Populist media are propagating harmful rhetoric about medical science within the concept of "trans." There's been authoritarianism across all spheres of society.

When information is suppressed as much as it has been, it's going to come out in those less mainstream corners of society/ the web, along with anything else that's not allowed to be discussed.

Women here are intelligent enough to filter out what's important and what's not.

NotBadConsidering · 20/08/2024 10:19

There are umpteen threads about “right wing” nonsense. This is thread about a poor woman who was operated on multiple times and left with horrendous complications. Let’s not get distracted from that.

WarriorN · 20/08/2024 10:21

Respectful debate too - name calling eg "bigots" is a poor show without evidence.

In actual fact, I'd suggest you spend a long time on the farms before you comment, and come back with the evidence to back up your claims.

Otherwise it's just heresay and rumour.

Oh but....

I'm not making any comments on the place as I've not spent much time there and have no interest or time to do so.

Helleofabore · 20/08/2024 10:25

I think we know that this very lazy tactic of making accusations of 'far right' is how those with poorly supported discussion and opinions influence others. It is an attempt to shape the discussion to follow the acceptable discussion points.

I have watched it with my teen's friends. They were all so afraid of being seen as being even a little different from the accepted opinions that they simply repeat trope and mantras. Particularly those who have declared trans identities, unfortunately.

There is no bottom to where Channel Four will go.
I remember how creative interesting and exciting they were in the 90s.
Alex Mahon the CEO is one of those women in power who try to out macho the men at womens expense.
See Sturgeon Thatcher et al.
They are about to show a series of women losing their virginity on national TV.

I hate her with a passion for this erosion of anything sane .
If you are as disgusted as me, please drop her a line

And write to OFCOM

It takes the same time as to comment here.

That needs its own thread.

Caliga · 20/08/2024 02:36

No. That's a classic response - "You just think it's far right because you think it's horrible". It encompasses all the hate and bilge that can't be expressed on the usual sites. This hostility and ideology stems most commonly from the far right. Sorry.

Silly sausage.

lcakethereforeIam · 20/08/2024 10:30

What I find chilling, so much so that I've hesitated to write this post is the thought of all the other Griffin's that must be out there. Her suffering is over now, I don't know how unique it is that she documented it like she did. There are undoubtedly others though, suffering quietly. Perhaps still true believers, thinking that this procedure will finally fix everything. Or perhaps they've woken up enough to live in regret and shame, possibly afraid to say anything because their glitter family, their community will turn on them. Maybe they'll even be called 'far right'.

WarriorN · 20/08/2024 10:30

It's how every authoritarian state has operated in history Helleofabore, whether they used religion or loyalty to the head of state.

Repeated social shaming for invented heresy to stop any discussion or debate in order to perpetuate the ruling ideology that the leader of the time is infallible.

Right wing and left wing are political positions. What did you think they were?

I was just reading the linked Ovarit threads when it was deleted. I was wondering if it was about fictional person, planted to get us worked up about nothing, especially as the last letters of her name spelled 'terv' backwards, iirc.

It's a real person. I've been following them on TikTok for years.

KeirSpoutsTwaddle · 20/08/2024 07:41

To be fair, I’m moving further right with every post that certain folk here make. The more people try and tell me what I’m allowed to think and say, the more right wing I seem to get. I feel as though I’m being pushed right despite my inclinations

It's unlikely you really are, though.

Right and left wing are political positions based on views about the economy and policy. They're not emotive tribal identifiers based on feelz, whatever some people try to say.

No particular party can claim to embody either left or right wing, just as no women's group can lay claim to the whole of feminism.

I know you know this, and I know what you mean.

But it's another case of people trying to use language to distort reality. Resist!
