Great to see our Women's Rec session playing against @UnionManchester today. It was really competitive, but more importantly lots of smiles. Thanks to those who organised it. #Oldham #movemorefeelbetter

@thislonecrone @XtinaGrimwade @stonewalluk @ximenofmars So just to clarify Claire, what you're saying is "this kind of homophobia was never real", and when you're given evidence that yes, in fact, it is real, you're saying "well that kind of homophobia was only propagated by homophobes"?

[Union Manchester FC @UnionManchester]

@WeAreFairCop @bobbystreet So it's a made up scenario that you've made up in your head and got angry about?

@DustyDigit @Archmike @OwenJones84 @MysticMindMedia Weird thing to say Dan

[Union Manchester FC @UnionManchester]

@ErnestotheGCcat The false narrative is generalising to a whole marginalised population. It's a classic persecution tactic. And speaking up about transphobia means we're doing nothing for LGB people? Odd thing to say. You know nothing of the work we do. Go back to bed.

@WhatTheTrans Missed out on a well-earned evening of playing Zelda.

@LaurakBuzz Good work, thank you for the effort you have put into this

[Union Manchester FC @UnionManchester]

@ErnestotheGCcat @AnxietySugar_ Anyone who coerces anyone else into sex should be condemned, but this article is pushing a false narrative against all trans women based on astonishingly flimsy evidence generated by a known hate group. It's not journalism, it's transphobic propaganda.

[Union Manchester FC @UnionManchester]

@ErnestotheGCcat @AnxietySugar_ The purpose of journalism isn't to uncritically present a survey based on a tiny self-selecting sample organised by a demonstrably biased group as revealing a broad societal trend. In fact it goes against the BBC's own editorial standards to use such a fundamentally flawed source

@StonewalledUK @Jax23118079 You know, it's okay to turn the computer off and go outside for a bit. The fresh air might do you some good.

[Union Manchester FC @UnionManchester]

@StonewalledUK @Jax23118079 There is no conflict between the rights of gay men and lesbians and those of trans people. The only people who think there is such a conflict are a tiny minority of very vocal cranks who've formed a bunch of sad little hate groups.

[Union Manchester FC @UnionManchester]

@Jax23118079 @StonewalledUK It's surprisingly easy too

[Union Manchester FC @UnionManchester]

@StonewalledUK @Jax23118079 I recommend you get a more wholesome hobby. Have you ever considered knitting?

[Union Manchester FC @UnionManchester]

@Jax23118079 @StonewalledUK I'm a homosexual and have never been accused of being transphobic. I'm going to go ahead and suggest the issue here is actually being transphobic.
