Mate, if you can't take it, don't dish it.
And Brap didn't ask for yours, but you went ahead and gave it.
She's not 'non-cis' either. She was born female and doesn't claim to be anything other than female (I assume).
Yeah, I see what you mean. I gave up around 2/3 of the way through.
To summarise the summary of the summary: people are a problem.
Never a truer word spoken.
Oh Christ. Is that what I'm about to subject myself to when I read it?
They'll try to say it's an appeal to authority and propose their own list of people who disagree.
They might even try to do a 'Project Steve'. ncse.ngo/project-steve
On the other hand, if your whole method of government is to continually instigate new outrage to distract from the previous outrage, then this fits right in.
That's absolutely fair, particularly with your follower count. There are very few people in my pub!
Ah, is because you've blocked him. Fair enough. Personally, I prefer to mute and I have lots of muted accounts and phrases.
Blocked for me. Can you post a screenshot?
I thought he did invite them and they understandably declined, citing scheduling conflicts.
Nice one!
Oh no, it's only sex. Definitely only sex.
They have to say that if they truly believe that identifying as a woman makes you one. Once that initial leap is made, this is a logical consequence.
Yeah. Maybe 'lots' is doing some heavy lifting there. I should have said 'some'.
There are lots of them in the replies to this post:

Definitely the BAFTAs and the BBC should have prepared the live and TV audience, and the presenters, better for it.
Yes, it was the 'reframing' you did after "put yourself in their shoes" that very much came across as belittling what you seem to have thought their position was.
Anyway, it's all good. Neither of us is in a position to judge.
Empathy might or might not be helpful to him here (I won't pretend to know the full details of what went on) but what you've just described is anything but empathetic.
This is a fair point. One of the many problems with the upper house is the existence of the Lords Spiritual, and their presence could be seen as a reason to give more scrutiny to the CofE than other religious establishments.
I suspect pretty much *every* other religious organisation is at least as bad, Islamic ones spring instantly to mind.
The CofE is just an easier target. How are all the others allowed to get away with their discrimination?
The reaction to the guy with Tourettes proves two things:
-people with Tourettes need more exposure
-"just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right" Ricky Gervais.
While I agree with your essential point, your final comparison is not a fair one and detracts from your argument.
I'm sure there will be some on the (particularly religious) right who would want to enforce gender stereotypes on children. I doubt it's exclusively from the TRA side, though they may be the majority.
They're subsumed into the '+'. As is pretty much anyone.
I absolutely will call out those 'allies' as I do disagree with their RW positions. In 2015 I argued that it would be a disaster for the US to re-elect Trump despite the democrat's support for gender ideology since Trump's Republicans were far worse on everything else including women' rights.
Exactly, it's like we're regressing. We've been trying to break those stereotypes for decades and now we seem to be enforcing them again.
Do you have links to support your assertion that gender critical people are saying this attack implicates all trans women and are using it to justify GAC bans?
Just that reporting should be accurate. If someone's sex is not relevant, don't report it. If it is relevant, report it accurately. This has nothing to do with GAC, it's just about reporting the facts of a crime accurately.
I could go all pedantic and say that does not represent a solvable cube, but making one would involve some serious dedication and what's there is already impressive enough.
Nice work.
