Just catching up on that #mumsnet chat
It's sad and infuriating.

Why does a chat about how to get more women into public life have to also include a chat about how to get more transsexual males into public life?

They are two different groups with different barriers. Image

An FOI shows #Stonewall in #NorthernIreland got the NI Civil Service to remove the words 'mother' and 'woman' from their maternity policies. @StephenNolan you covered this re Scotland; now it's here too. Doc 5 in FOI reply:

whatdotheyknow.com/request/819001…
Left column is #Stonewall's recommendations to remove 'woman', 'her', etc; right column is NICS HR response.

Hi twitter, if you support LGBT & trans people can I ask you contact mumsnet partners, mumsnet rated & testing products & website advertisers to highlight the issue of transphobia on the forum. As we've seen from Flora & Birdseye this works! #transphobiarated #mumsnettransphobia Image
Suggested template as follows:

"I can't support your products while you have any association with #Mumsnet which has become infamous for anti transgender & anti LGBT forums. Why partner with an organisation which hosts discrimination? #transphobiarated"
This could be via Twitter, Facebook or Insta, or email / web chat. Whichever you feel comfortable. Raise your voice and tell companies that transphobia has an impact on our family members, our neighbours our community. #transphobiarated #BoycottTransphobia #Stopfundinghate

Mumsnet is in financial trouble. According to their CEO its "squeaky bum time".

With less money floating about, advertisers are carrying out more due diligence, I expect those businesses which support anti-LGBT sentiment are more at risk. Mumsnet transphobia was bad business.
Flora used to bear a #mumsnet logo. They severed the relationship following a reasonable question from a mum of a trans teen who didn't want to buy a product associated with a hate forum. #boycottTransphobia #mumsnettransphobia
