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...

1/n "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.

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...

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...

1/n 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.

Tomorrow: examination of the legal process of self-declaration, models used, international take-up, future-proof compliance with...2/n

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. . .

1/n

pfc.org.uk/caselaw/A-v-We… carry out more than cursory searches of men, under the terms of PACE.

Conclusion of the tribunal was that this amounted to discrimination and that the officer in question would be able to legally carry out all searches in what is now known as their acquired gender, thereby...2/n

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'

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

Well, those so-called "feminists" are once more at it on @MumsnetTowers #mumsnet trying yet again to claim that nobody at Mumsnet was serious in calling for a return of s28 to schools, this time solely targeting trans kids: Which is a weird bit of selective blindness. It doesn't take much of a search to find the times that posters, including very prolific posters, to the so-called "Feminism Chat" board have called, in one form or another, for an end to the teaching of trans issues in schools

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?

Part 1: What is in a name

As I mentioned on my first Mumsnet thread, the one pointing out the times that the t-slur was being used, I blanked out the names of users because there was no way of being certain that their username didn't contain potentially revealing info.

1/ But, of course, it is entirely possible to choose a name that deliberately reflects something about yourself, without necessarily revealing too much about yourself.

Let's take my Twitter user name as an example.

Leaving aside the symbols, it's Japanese. Turn it into kanji

So, the same old suspects from the same old source: Mumsnet "Feminism Chat" 1/? 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/?
