‘Am I Being Unreasonable’? Mumsnet user demands eugenics against disabled kids
So much for that bastion of respectability, Mumsnet, it seems.
In fact, it seems the site has lost its shine after building a reputation for transphobia, but now it seems to have added disablism to its sins.
Here’s what was said – and let’s enjoy the responses too:

Indeed, what next? A visit by Aktion T4 – the van with the Zyklon-B?
Let’s have some more responses:
India Willoughby stated: “Mumsnet is NOT a parenting site anymore. It’s a staging ground for bigotry and extremism, where the most awful things are said. Go look. The transphobia in the ‘Feminist’ section is stomach turning. Here a poster questions the value of educating disabled kids.”
Rachel added: “Less Mumsnet, more EugenicsNet now! This is really heartbreaking, OF COURSE disabled children deserve an education and the opportunity to learn and play with others, uncover their talents and learn social skills, regardless of what they go on to do!”
Saw ‘Mumsnet’ trending and assumed it was for the usual transphobia, but it transpires they’re now into eugenics about disabled children.
This is where the dehumanisation of one group inevitably leads: eventually you just view everyone who isn’t exactly like you as ‘less than’.

Disabled people deserve access to education, it's a fundamental right for everyone and shouldn't be removed from anyone.
It's that simple.

It seems this sort of thing has been happening on Mumsnet for a while.
Mumsnet is the internet equivalent of bitchy women at the school gates tearing down other women, and secondary school level ‘mean girls’ who delight in bullying. All of them: losers. It is absolutely NOT a parenting site. https://t.co/MNhcCmv0Eg

It would be nice to have a comment from Mumsnet’s organisers.
This Site has requested one, and will publish it if it is forthcoming.

I should question the ‘investment’ in her education. As it’s obvious that she has never learnt a damn thing. If this was a serious question, not another lame trolling post then heaven help any disabled children in her family!
It has NEVER been about parenting. It’s been firmly set in the heart of karen territory since its inception. They’re now just saying the quiet bit out loud.
News flash – transphobia does not exist because no human can magically change their sex. Born male die male!
