It's hilarious, the absolute lack of self awareness. Utterly cringeworthy.FFS now she’s sharing Ayishat Akanbi, her and Africa Brooke talk about people like Cathy all the time and I’m still aghast she doesn’t see the irony of sharing their thoughts
I was going to say exactly the same but it pained me too much to do so!!She actually seems a bit more likeable lately. Still saying nothing new, but less of a black hole of negativity than usual.
Maybe someone has had a little look in tattle. Then again I doubt that would have changed her tune? Maybe she got some from the new mysterious manShe actually seems a bit more likeable lately. Still saying nothing new, but less of a black hole of negativity than usual.
As an INDIVIDUAL WITH A DISABILITYAaand bumble is getting it again. She's offended because they said 'individuals with disabilities' instead of 'disabled people?' Seriously Cathy?
Yes! We say person with autism or autistic person. We asked our service users what they prefer, and went with that.I do support work and we always use ‘adults with learning disabilities’ as they are an adult/individual with a disability, it shouldn’t come first
Best pass on Cathy’s concerns to my care company
I think going deep into such topics at a young age is damaging. It needs to be nuanced and a lot of critical thinking should be involved, which children generally don’t have. Introducing it now would be very confusing I would imagine.I agree. Being considerate of others and critical of prescriptive gender roles is great, but honestly this is the worst kind of woke brownie point virtue signalling, because what is it actually achieving? Like with most online activism, all it is is trotting out the same old lines so all her Instagram mates can pat her on the back and tell her how good and progressive she is. Nothing tangible is ever achieved.
I agree with you totally. I was also a tomboy, always wanted to do typical "boy" things and I'm glad I didn't gave parents who inflicted today's idea of gender identity on me based on that to be honest.I think going deep into such topics at a young age is damaging.

A work colleague likes to harp on about her gender-less approach to raising her sons. I think it’s great not to enforce gender stereotypes on your children, my conservative parents never did and I have was what you would probably call a tomboy. However, with my colleague it seems so forced. She recently posted a selfie of her and her son getting manicures, I wonder if I he actually wanted to or was coerced into doing so for the sake of a supposedly progressive Facebook post. She also announced the other day he had to sit in on her getting a wax! He’s about 4, what’s the need?
My opinion only of course, someone with experience of child psychology may tell me I’m looking into this too muchWill try not to derail the thread.
Her asking for consent is pure virtual signalling. The girls are what, 4 and 7? Children that age do not understand the concept or consequences of sharing something with almost 27k people (/anyone with an internet connection as her account is public). Some teenagers and even adults struggle with this, so how can she expect such young children to be able to give consent? If she wants to share them then sure, there’s nothing legally stopping her. She just needs to stop acting morally superior and pretending the kids are able to make informed decisions about this.She's making poor Mariama into a little version of herself and I think some of it may be for IG effect. It was only a while ago where she wouldn't share her girls names and had a big thing about how she asks her children for consent and doesn't post any personal photos. The poor kids now are being used to get as many IG freebies as possible. Disgusting.
