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

1/
And so, inevitably, we turn once more to our usual friends

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?

3/
What do you mean by, "We don't allow posts like these"? Some of then have been on your site for years. It took me less than a minute to complete a search for them.

"We're tracking those ones down now" Why are you tracking them down? (cont.)

4/
It's obvious from the screenshots that I know where the bodies are buried, so to speak. Why not just ask me for the links? Don't worry, I made sure to back up all the links, just in case you need them. Surely that would be easier and better, no?

5/
In fact, Mumsnet, I find myself asking the question, why does your response seem so hollow and utterly inadequate to me, and maybe quite a few other people as well?

I don't know, but something about that response and its timing just feels. . .off.

6/
As if, perhaps, my concerns about the #transphobia on your site hasn't been treated with the seriousness with which it should have been.

I mean, given your lack of a public statement about what went wrong & how slurs like that were left to stand...

And the @MumsnetTowers anti-trans hate group over on "Bigot's Corner" are still busy with their legal illiteracy as they yet again deploy their Freeman-on-the-land arguments, this time with Girl Guiding.

So much deliberate stupidity—so little time, but let's unpack this...

"Having considered this I feel I can see where the issue is arising."

No, no you can't. No, seriously, you can't. You've made up an issue and have cherry-picked words from the Equality Act to support your arguments, but that's not how the law works.

"Equality Act 2010 does not suggest that single sex children’s organisations assort individuals as per their gender"

No, EA2010 doesn't suggest anything. It says straight out, unless an org meets the highly stringent exception set out in the EqA, an exception that can...

Ah, the anti-trans crowd are desperately trying to get #ROGD traction and legitimacy by trying to get it trending on Twitter.

So let's break it down.

#ROGD is pseudo-scientific bunkum that has less credibility than the flat earth theory.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

1/n
But in all seriousness, #ROGD is nothing more than the #transphobic denial of reality, and an attempt to explain away a phenomenon that has parallels running throughout history and is already well understood.

See, here's the thing. As the results of the UK LGBT Survey...

showed, trans ppl in the UK still face horrific levels of abuse and discrimination in society. And, as with any marginalised group in society that faces that level of threat to their safety and health, anybody who wants to come out as being trans has to make a calculation...

So, 29 pages of hand-written notes on the legal underpinnings re:Contracting States obligations under the Convention to respect an individual's Article 8 rights to self-declaration of individual sexual identity, how this led to the current GRA2004, and how recent...

ECHR rulings mean that GRA2004 is now no longer fit for purpose as it likely places the UK in breach of it's treaty duties under the Convention.

Mmm. this is an interesting one. Bare basics, police refused to offer the job of Constable to a trans woman, claiming that she was legally male, so couldn't conduct more than cursory searches of women, but was visibly female, and so couldn't. . .

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'
'#IWasCalledaTERF because I want to deny trans ppl access to medical treatment'

'#IWasCalledTERF because I've called for trans kids to undergo Conversion Therapy'

'#IWasCalledaTERF because I've engaged in targeted harassment of trans individuals'
'#IWasCalledaTERF because I've harassed people who stand up for trans people'

'#IWasCalledTERF because I've taken it upon myself to be the sole judge and arbiter of people's appearences'

'#IWasCalledaTERF because I've said trans girls are rapists who want access to other girls'

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

CW: #Transphobia

2/n Yet another #transphobic post from the so-called
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...
