Hmm.. I haven't read the rest of the thread but I believe that AuntiStella's content was about being trans which rather lends your above post to be pretty dodgy on many different angles.

Could be mistaken but there seem to be insinuations on a number of different levels there. None of them good reflections on the author, you.
It's clear that you haven't read the rest of the thread, otherwise you wouldn't have just posted that.
 
interesting: London IWW brought an emergency motion at this year's IWW annual conference (which was passed) to stand in solidarity with Bahar Mustafa.

A while back i brought up the issue with London iww of another BME woman being bullied by a group of white middle class males it was met with muted indifference. Let's hope they maintain the principled position of supporting bullied women of colour, especially within radial political movements.

Big Bill Haywood must be turning in his grave.
 
heres from the same page linked a few posts back:

Bahar has done nothing wrong, and everything right. Every screech coming from her detractors strengthens the case that white people must be excluded from BME safe spaces, and men must be excluded from women’s spaces, and that cis white men should basically be excluded from life generally. As a little experiment, tweet the hashtag #supportbaharmustafa, offering your support, and see how many white men reply to you with their absolutely ignorant opinions about what racism is, and their demands to be educated, and the boring and wrong shit about Bahar’s ethnicity, and their #GamerGate hashtagged profiles.
 
There is no discussion on the thread. Its turned into an in-joke that loads of us don't get.

And it wasn't not calm in the first place, it was a discussion. Its being made out that there was some kind of attack going on. Where was that?

When someone tells the thread that their dysphoria is kicking in, and that it's previously resulted in depression and suicidal ideation - then is a good time to stop deconstructing their identity imo.

I don't think anyone was deconstructing anyone's personal identity. It was an abstract discussion, it wasn't aimed at anyone specific. If someone finds the discussion upsetting, then yes, we need to be aware of that, but they also have a responsibility for their own health, not to get involved in discussions they may find upsetting.

It wasn't an abstract discussion for the people whose identities were being discussed. Don't you think we have the greater responsibility - AuntiStella was already on the thread having a general discussion before all this "born woman" challenge was aimed at her.

I didn't see anything aimed at her? Where was that?
