I think this Maccabi Tel Aviv stuff will prove to be a watershed moment for many who aren't sure where their political home is. I cannot now, in good faith, consider backing the Lib Dems, let alone Labour. The disingenuousness, the gaslighting, I can't stand it.
I think it's got to be the Greens.

And this. The countries she speaks of are the very countries she sees as backwards - countries whose "barbaric" cultures she is afraid are being imported into the UK. But that didn't occur to her. She didn't think past the headline thought.

Much of the average right-winger's thinking can be understood by taking your own and removing everything past your initial reaction - my first thought was similar to his, but then reason kicked in: societal implications, precedent, the line we draw at taking a life.
It doesn't kick in for them.

You can see that the average TW brain being more 'female' than the average CM brain is due solely to the most 'male' TW brains being more 'female' than the most 'male' CM brains - though, the majority of CM brains are still more 'female' than the most 'male' TW brains.

You'll notice that there are no cases of trans women's brains being more 'female' than the most 'female' cis men's brains & in no cases are trans women's brains like the most 'female' third of cis women's brains, i.e those that are uniquely female, entirely distinct from any cis mens' brains.

Katie knew her stuff, but you made a decision early on to assume she was the kind of person who would, say, go off a 2-second Google search... James.

100%-(0.64/2.51 ≈ 25.5%) = 74.5% cis man/trans woman similarity (vs 0% CM/CW similarity)
