Belfast Health & Social Care Trust is one of the regional organisations that comprises NI’s version of the GB NHS.

The publicly-funded healthcare in Northern Ireland technically isn’t part of the NHS (you can’t use NI prescriptions in GB chemists for example) so the various regional health & social care trusts in NI perform the same function as the NHS does in GB. The various trusts are funded by Stormont (when it’s actually functioning normally and not being boycotted 😒) from the funds allocated to it by Westminster (same as with Scotland and Wales). Everyone here still refers to, and thinks of, our healthcare as the NHS tho.

We always have to be different here in Norn Iron 🤷‍♀️ 😉

Should we all expect a visit from the rozzers? I haven't put my dinner on yet ...

Not again, we were all ready to have a nice break in the cells that Christmas and they never turned up. Can't remember what it was for

Excellent. I'm very proud

If you are referring to FWR, I think one of the distinctive features of a lot of posters on here is that we like facts, provable facts, and we usually back contentious things up with reliable sources - yes sometimes we absolutely lose it completely😄but that's not the norm.

It's obvious, having been on here for a while, that there are people with legal, scientific, technical, medical etc expertise on this thread, which is invaluable.

So posters on FWR will inevitably meet that expectation of traceability and accuracy, and that can be tricky with some topics.

Why don't you give examples of the "transphobia" on MN?
In fact, why don't you define what "transphobia" is first? Then explain what the "party line" is.
And, please, be specific.

It was Dawn Butler. She called the Met Polis on us.

I think I might have found out what lltrans means, though.

It might be an absolute fuck up interesting social experiment to see what would happen to society if they put all mothers in prison.

Isn't that just one person's opinion? It's hardly evidence-based or official!

😂😂😂😂 @ArabellaScott

I'm actually quite proud to see so many Scottish women's organisations on that list, who fight tirelessly for the safety and dignity of women, their right to have single sex services and spaces and against the wholescale institutional capture of our local and national organisations. If your take on that is that those listed are 'anti trans', then frankly, you are anti women.

Women won't wheesht.

Anti-trans and transphobic are two different things anyway.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being anti-trans, it means being opposed to the ideology.

Ah yes, it's all coming back to me now.

Mumsnet is not transphobic!!

I can guarantee you that 99% of the women on here would be polite and courteous to any respectful transperson they meet.
They wouldn't hurl abuse. They wouldn't physically assault them. They wouldn't call them slurs. They wouldn't try and doxx their details.

They would simply smile and get on with their day.

Not wanting a biological to follow you unto a changing room isn't transphobic. That's asserting your right, as a woman, to a single sex space.

Yet here you are.

I can't work out why any poster who believes mumsnet is transphobic continues to use the site.

"Not again, we were all ready to have a nice break in the cells that Christmas and they never turned up. Can't remember what it was for"

I have made a cake this afternoon- I can fit a file in it!

Did they also list: Reality, the universe, Logic, biology and human eyes?

I believe they are also considered transphobic.

Why is it that women always have to defend our position regarding our rights?
It’s as if we have to actually apologise for the privilege of being born female 😵‍💫

Why do you think this is what all trans people believe?

See this is what I mean. This isn’t a belief of all trans people.

But moderate ones won’t speak out because they are seen as being like this.

My eyes roll so much one day I'm scared they're going to stick.

It's like a klaxon call, they need to meet the quota set each day to drop a 'mumsnet is so transphobic' post, bonus points for avoiding saying what is actually transphobic, extra point for saying 'those posts get deleted so of course I can't give any examples, but it's TRANSPHOBIC!'. Same posters too usually, it's cringe. Even when pertinent points are put to them. Town Tumbleweed.

Have a day off.

It's a post. Disagree with it. Then get over it.

There are a number of transwomen who do understand that although they wish otherwise, they know that they will never actually be women. They use the gents without issue and respect women. I suppose they are also anti trans?

There are people who post on MN who are clearly transphobic. Like there are people who post on here who are clearly racist or homophobic etc. Any denial of this would be ridiculous. Of course, that doesn't make the site itself transphobic, racist or homophobic. It doesn't make everyone who posts on here transphobic, racist or homophobic.

There are plenty of people who participate in discussions on trans related issues on this site that do not demonstrate transphobia in what they say. But there are some who do.
