Exactly. They are both mainstream wankers but they get the points that needed to be made to a wider audience out there.Julie Burchill is not a nice person, but she makes some good points. A bit like Piers Morgan I guess...
I find Piers Morgan smug and condescending and far too shouty when on GMB but I agreed with him on a lot of points on that show. When I said this online I was “accused” of being a Tory despite never having voted Tory before, and that I likely hated Meghan Markle because of her race (I don’t particularly have a strong opinion on her either way, but I am also mixed race so even if I did, it wouldn’t be because of that). People are so tribalistic it’s scary.Exactly. They are both mainstream wankers but they get the points that needed to be made to a wider audience out there.
If it was someone like Sam Smith you where talking about I would tell him to stand in front of a mirror and hey presto he would see he was a man. Hopefully your friend receives proper counselling to deal with her trauma and its probably best that you did bite your tongue.I have a friend who's from a conservative South East Asian culture. She had an arranged marriage when she was 19-20, but her husband was abusive so she left with her then toddler aged daughter (now 7.) In the last year or so she has begun identifying as "non-binary asexual" and I have tried so hard to bite my tongue, but today she spoke to me about how she knows for sure she was non-binary and asexual before her husband (who was her first relationship, first sexual partner, etc.) ever abused her and I doubt that, somehow. I do feel for her - she's been treated terribly because she is a woman, but claiming not to be one isn't going to magically change things
She is having counselling - has had to as the whole experience has left her with a form of PTSDIf it was someone like Sam Smith you where talking about I would tell him to stand in front of a mirror and hey presto he would see he was a man.

I was there too!I saw one of the lesbians that spoke to the BBC for that article was talking at speakers corner this morning. A trans woman had sex with her at uni when she was far too drunk to give consent. He then made her persona non grata with her uni's LGBT society for being a TERF s_lag, did the same thing to three other women and then left the university after being there less than 6 months. These people are the absolute worst.
Awesome. You could see the hurt in that woman so it makes me sick when people automatically call the women in that article liars because it suits their twisted narrative.I was there too!
I think the same about the women that are so quick to say they wouldn't mind sharing a space with someone that self IDs as a woman. I think the majority are probably privileged in that they haven't encountered any dangerous men, haven't experienced DV or coercion or control, haven't been sexually assaulted. I think they have also led lives where they don't feel a surge of fear because of men and they think everyone should be the same.These trans people that say misgendering is actual violence - have probably led lives without violence in them. Mostly men, they have not been threatened or hit or feared physical harm. They have led comfortable existences and now something isn’t going their way. It’s a massive temper tantrum. Words can hurt, yes, it is bullying and there is mental distress. But violence is not the same and they are misusing this word to manipulate people.
It’s horrible when it gets you down like this. I’ve been feeling similar but I do think things will change and there will be a kick back. Unfortunately I feel it’ll take something extreme happening to a woman before society at large will see what a problem this all is. The TRAs will be their own downfall. It is absolutely shocking that a woman can be arrested for tweeting her own non hateful opinion and be fucking arrested when on a daily basis you read hateful misogynistic bile on Twitter and those people are fine?? Something has to change with the police.Maybe it's Monday morning blues but I'm feeling quite disheartened to be honest. It feels like the net of compulsion is closing in when you have workplaces preaching wokery and individuals reporting women on twitter for raising concerns. To the point that I regret my post a few up simply for reposting Glinn*er incase that gets reported by individuals. It exasperates me that some individual can go after several people for tweets that aren't actually hateful, and gets taken seriously, yet women who report rape threats, doxx threats etc get told things like "not to use Twitter then" and such. This society actively punishes women and panders to men. I'm sick of it.
The Independent realises that this is not okay when a man 'identifies' as a man, but if he said he was NB or trans, they'd be calling anyone who objected bigots.
