Remembering the late Lawrence Anthony, otherwise known as The Elephant Whisperer.
After his death, the herd of Elephants that he rescued from certain death trudged for 12 hours through the night to say goodbye to him.

Woman hate challenge: Can anyone identify anyone who doesn’t totally repudiate the idea of males in women’s sport who isn’t an inveterate misogynist?
Who doesn’t think male people should have the right to dictate what boundaries female people may or may not have?
No. I didn’t think so.

This is typical.
Though I always enjoy variations on "get in the sea", because I often do. I've even been known to organise an event called "TERFs get in the sea" where lots of us do. (Then we get out again, get dry and have breakfast, which is perhaps not exactly what is being proposed.)

I don't mean that I'll leave because I'm so upset by the abuse, which I find ridiculous, but not upsetting.
