Hannah Spencer harassed in Manchester

[MissScarletInTheBedroom]

Despite the fact that certain very vocal sections of this board are aggressively anti-trans and anti-Green, I'd gently suggest that this kind of confrontation and abuse is unacceptable in any civilised society, regardless of personal ideologies.

Perhaps the saddest irony here is that these male bigots claim to be protecting women's rights whilst trying to attack a woman MP. On International Women's Day.

I'd be curious to see how other MNetters feel about this situation...

As have you. When are you going to condemn the male Unison officer who punched a woman clear in the face?

We need to look at the exact words.

"No, my definition of women does not include men pretending to be women.
No, that is not the type of woman who is marginalised."

The poster evidently believes that transwomen are not men pretending to be women, but in fact are women, and that transwomen are the type of women who are marginalised.

So will you condemn Ameen Hadi, @MissScarletInTheBedroom ?

Ah, here they go again with "trans folks", a description chosen to make them sound a bit ditsy and harmless.

Yes. Those words were of a true believer and one who has a personal definition of ‘woman’ that they then attempted to convince us was universal. When it most certainly is not.

So instead of clear and direct answers they engaged in fuckwittery and took the position that anyone who sought clarification was ‘dim’ or hateful (can’t remember the words used). If someone’s beliefs rely on their subjective reality being treated as if it is the material reality, I guess they have to use linguistic manipulation to justify it.

If they actually engaged rather than took pop shots and spread misinformation under the guise of being well informed, maybe people would have engaged in return. I don’t believe they have landed any point with evidence, but really felt that that achieved massively.

Slippery.....

Excuse me?

Is your name actually This Jade Sealion?

Oh, it's the limp lettuce again.

I dunno...pathetic time waster?

This sudden rash of posts across a number of threads suggests that Emily Thornbury's diary is unexpectedly blank.

Not sure it works though. I am irresistably reminded of duelling banjoes.

Purty!

But they're a bit coy on the topic.

Lots of aren’t I clever witticisms and references suggestive of a gender studies academic. Though granted, no Butler citations as yet I think. And quite a few digs about pitchforks. What’s missing, however, is clarity of what exactly they do believe in this discussion.

Also missing is a justification or explanation of their position. Though I don’t believe there have been many TRAs who have remained around to do so apart from bekind/you’re mean and one or two trying to argue on the basis of clownfish/DSDs/Sex variation in other animals.

But ^^ their ‘definition’ of woman is not one based on the courage of their convictions.

When men get involved it all goes wrong.

I always hear "Volk" & am never surprised that the association has not occurred to them.

Sorry if this has already been posted but when I watched Edge of the Matrix I only heard someone telling Steve about it. Here is the moment the Unison rep hit a woman in the face - captured on camera - what a charming fellow! Happy IWD everyone!

😂mate you are funny.

Has this violent man answered for his actions yet, and has his union been notified?
