I don’t argue on here because I enjoy it.
I argue because watching bad takes go unchallenged is worse.
Public services matter. Facts matter. And unfortunately, so does this hellsite.

@FightWithMemes You mean men who are respected, responsible, healthy and emotionally available? Sounds like This Is Us, Parenthood, Modern Family, Friday Night Lights… Want more?

@RupertLowe10 If someone’s working a difficult, underpaid job while you’re online moaning about them, they’re not the problem. You are.

@JamesEsses Thanks for the unsolicited update on your personal prejudices. Noted and filed.

@LozzaFox Are we just ignoring the whole Palestine thing? Good to know…

Genuine question @PoliceScotland @metpoliceuk …

If Lucy Connolly was jailed for inciting hatred, why isn’t J.K. Rowling even cautioned?
Is the law about what you say, or who you are?

[Una @MFSM2015]

But you’re missing the main point which is, if this person has committed a crime then yes she should be punished accordingly - including expulsion from women only areas. But to blanket ban every trans woman because of the actions of a few is wrong. Chinese woman robs a shop - all Chinese people banned from entering shops.

@stickersammler @Wokewaster Mainly because other people’s relationships are none of my business. I’m sure if there was some ‘criminal’ element it would have been dealt with by the police and he wouldn’t be president.

@JournalismSEEN @Telegraph @jk_rowling JK Rowling’s recent fame relies on conflict. Stephen Fry’s relies on talent, empathy, and decades of brilliance. Only one of them still adds value to the public conversation.

@KnownHeretic @BlahhhWow @RealistIdealis3 Sure, but that still comes down to behaviour.

Safeguarding sets boundaries against actions, not identities. Exclusion should be based on what someone does, not who they are.

Otherwise, it stops being safeguarding and starts being discrimination.

[Una @MFSM2015]

@BlahhhWow @RealistIdealis3 @KnownHeretic Exclusion of any person should be based on their behaviour.

[Una @MFSM2015]

@RealistIdealis3 @BlahhhWow @KnownHeretic I think any exclusion should be based on behaviour of said person.

[Una @MFSM2015]

@bitchloverwife @ZainAsh32301272 @darrengrimes Absolutely agree.

[Una @MFSM2015]

@zhanx @KnownHeretic Feel free to see it that way. You’re wrong, but please do continue.

@dishonoured751 @RealistIdealis3 @BlahhhWow @KnownHeretic Trans women are. And I’m a woman.

[Una @MFSM2015]

@RealistIdealis3 @BlahhhWow @KnownHeretic No. I think trans women should be allowed access to women’s restrooms.

[Una @MFSM2015]

@ScndChnceFrmVa @KnownHeretic Also, can you tell me exactly what crime was being committed?

[Una @MFSM2015]

@RealistIdealis3 @BlahhhWow @KnownHeretic We’re talking about risk. Risk should be individual based on behaviour. Not just a sweeping judgement of a minority.

@ScndChnceFrmVa @KnownHeretic Where did you find she was a predator? Seems to me there was one person using the toilet and one person starting a fight…
