would you say mumsnet these days is a safe space for a non-transphobic lesbian with children to hang out?

Kittens?

I find puppies easier as they pre-wrap themselves in loo roll, helps with the marks on the side.

I wonder if Errol would get the name "Errol"? Dragon inception......

I actually have a white dragon called Errol, @CapabilityBrownsHaHa. I keep him in the HoHo (Luke a ha-ha but deeper - can someone fetch the ladder please, Drumknott has fallen in again).

Just to blow your brain a little bit more.

Birds didn't evolve from pterosaurs. They evolved from dinosaurs.

Pterosaurs were their own thing and have no descendants. And they had fur, not feathers.

Pterosaurs had fur? Whaaaaaat? I didn't even think they had feathers, just leathery skin. They must have been nearly cute and cuddly so.

And she mustn’t leave them out overnight or they’ll get darked on.

Welcome to Mumsnet, OP! Smile There is SO much here, you are bound to find threads and sections that will be useful to you. If you're new to MN, you might be surprised to discover that most of what gets discussed on here doesn't revolve around most of us having children. Wink

MN is an online forum with strict guidelines. What do you think could happen to you, or anyone, here that could be judged as 'unsafe'? I'm genuinely curious. People have disagreements all the time on here but disagreeing with someone isn't inherently dangerous. Transphobia isn't allowed - nor is racism, homophobia, lesbophobia, etc. Posters who break these rules will ultimately get kicked off. There is a 'report this post' button. Hope this enables you to feel 'safer' - but again, this is an online forum. It's not a dark alleyway at 3am and I don't know what you think might happen here that could make you or anyone else feel 'unsafe'.

Are we allowed to mention spider willies?

He might! Have you asked him?

Is he called Smithy?

Not to mention the spiders! We all know what they do to washing at night. 🫨

Boiledbeetle · 04/02/2025 23:55

Well... This thread should fuck with the data scrapers!

It’s not as if the OP is new to mumsnet…

AstonUniversityPotholeDepartment · 04/02/2025 23:56

Pterosaurs Are Dinosaurs.

End of.

If they're not dinosaurs, why are they -saurs? Eh? Eh? Got you there, haven't I?

"there seems to be a lot of vitriol going around about non het non cis stuff here"

You do know that if you're the type of Lesbian who was born with a vagina, and you are having sex with the type of Lesbian who was born with a penis, that you are "a cis het" person. You know that right?

Boiledbeetle · 05/02/2025 00:01

letwomenexist · 04/02/2025 23:56

Whut?

They come out at night and whilst your washing is getting all darked on by the moonlight the spiders crawl all over your washing rubbing their willies on it.

Or something like that.

letwomenexist · 05/02/2025 00:02

The arachnophobia on this site is utterly disgraceful

AstonUniversityPotholeDepartment · 05/02/2025 00:03

Look, I'm not googling this myself, but what kind of genitalia do spiders actually have?

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 05/02/2025 00:03

Careful where you hang the kids out….

Thankfully, my natural history knowledge is lacking in arachnid genitalia facts.

Feeling marginalised or invalidated has no connection to your safety, psychic or physical.

Discussion or talk involves acknowledging and respecting everyone’s views and feelings, especially those you disagree with.

CandyLeBonBon · 04/02/2025 23:24

You're trolling everyone at this point, surely?

(Note. I am not troll hunting)

I'm saying that the Feminism section - i.e. here - is not a safe space for the OP if she supports trans people.

I have absolutely no idea and my search history is dodgy looking as it is without adding that to the mix
