Rachel is such an inspiring writer, hope this 🧵leads you to her substack:
The increasingly online nature of porn, hook-ups & sex-buying have made it easier than ever before for men to cultivate secret lives. It’s occurred to me that these factors also make it easier for men’s secrets to be *discovered*. Often all it requires is access to their phones.

The sneering dismissal of “fictional trans rapists” (males) and caring about incarcerated women demonstrates how - for all his performative reading- Ince excludes traumatising accounts from the survivors of these very *non-fictional* events.
Hey people with platforms , they are starting to take the trans positive books out of the libraries. Now is the time to stand up or just accept that you don’t care - and here is to the millionaire comedians who have helped oil the wheels of hatred

My most controversial music opinion is that Noel Gallagher is a weirdly underrated song-writer, subjected to a level of snobbery, suspicion and nit-picking that isn’t applied to most of the other great British song-writers.

Didn't realise until about five years ago that the different colour of bell peppers was just about how long they'd been on the plant. So it's green for disgusting, yellow for disgusting and red for disgusting.

I've watched exactly what she said (it's at around 1 hr 21 in the video) and you're distorting her point. NC is talking about whether the ruling removes all benefits of obtaining a GRC from the specific perspective of access to SS spaces, not commenting on people's motivations for transitioning

If you’re going to sign an open letter, try to ensure you at least have one sentence in it which is factually correct. And maybe a little more understanding of what the legal ruling corrected than a child might have.

God save us from the mindless slebs who have read as far as Be Kind and are peddling endless content showing just how kind they are. Apart from, you know, towards infirm, vulnerable, lesbian, autistic or religious women and girls who they haven’t noticed at all.

The highest court in the land is apparently still not a good enough authority on these matters, just like one the most eminent British paediatricians was seemingly a fucking idiot. God herself could appear and it wouldn’t be enough.

Some men, like Ian Dunt, Dorian Lynskey and Alex Andreou, have got so high on the fanboy fumes of the self-selected podcast audience - let’s face it, more than a little confirmation bias drives *that*, that they now don’t need to engage, think or read. The pomposity is entertaining, at least.

ie: *Turner* is not calling Trump a feminist hero (hence why she describes all of the deeply terrible things he has done) – she's arguing that the women's sport issue has allowed Trump to claim such a mantle.
