On 2 October 2018 I attended the HQ of Norfolk Constabulary to give a statement in connection with allegations of harassment (1)
I spent 5 hours providing a statement and evidence in connection with the well publicised allegations made by me to the Police concerning #transphobia. Norfolk Constabulary then liaised with West Yorkshire Police to decide how best to deal with this matter (2) #transgender
Following discussions between West Yorkshire Police and me I expressed my view that my preference was for the Police to take proportionate and swift action to make clear that #transgender #harassment was unacceptable. I made clear my preference was for a harassment warning (3)

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?

The #IWasCalledTERF #IwascalledaTERF crowd are at it with their pity-party again.
Maybe they should try some honesty:
'#IwascalledaTERF because I want to eradicate trans ppl from society'
'#IWasCalledTERF because I don't want trans ppl to openly be themselves'

So, I mentioned yesterday that it felt like the so-called "feminists" on everybody's least favourite board were, in the terms of the analogy, working themselves up to another tantrum spiral.
Turns out I was right. And with things like this I hate being right, but, well, at least it's even more exposure about what really goes on at the so-called "Feminism Chat" board on @MumsnetTowers #mumsnet

So, first of all, what am I talking about when I say 'tantrum spiral'.
@MumsnetTowers so-called "feminists" have a distinct posting pattern of late.
i) Things start to slump on the board, and they lose a few more posters.
ii) To try and make the board look more...

Part 3:
We've been here before.
Every move, played out a thousand times.
And every time the same result is achieved.
Ignorance and bigotry is not a sustainable position, and inevitably falls.
And all the old tricks will avail you naught

Hello
I received your reply (below)
I find myself curious about something though
Why did it take you so long to reply?
Why did you wait until 21:46 on a Sat night to reply?

Did the timing of your reply have anything to do with Andrew Gilligan's article which went live two and quarter hours later?
Why was the reply buried in the third tweet of that thread, not on the first where you would expect to find it?

Those of us who are already in the know, know the kind of things that the "feminists" in Mumsnet "Feminism Chat" like to get up to when the discussion inevitably turns to the transgender community, but not a huge number of people are aware of just how much said "feminists" 2/?
CW: Transphobic slurs
love to throw around the words t***ny and t***nnie, despite the fact that the word is, ya'know, a slur, and a pretty nasty one. Say, for instance, posts like these

Fell into a 90s/00s #suicide anthem music loop this afternoon and it reminded me of how depressed I have been in the past and how depressed I am now, again, and how much we still don't discuss #depression in this society.

I wrote this a couple years ago.
It's a good piece on writers & suicide, with an emphasis on #LGBT suicides because we kill ourselves more (thanks #homophobia/#transphobia)than str8 people.
Society still romanticizes #depression instead of treating it.

Let me tell you a story (thread). When I came out to my mom at 17, I wasn’t too sure I was gay. Neither was she. Popular media and public representation mirrored only one specific caricature, and both of us (in our own minds) thought I couldn’t be gay
Coupled with the fact that while growing up I 1) barely ever saw any representation of queer individuals in media and 2) if I did, they were all the butt of all jokes, the tireless “omg that’s a man in a dress” tropes, led me to believe that I couldn’t be queer. No sir not me
Hence, I went back in the closet, thinking since there is only one way to be gay I DEFINITELY cannot be gay. It was only about a year after that that I learnt and realized how ridiculous that notion was
