Unlike Frank Butcher, though, Amber's dad really is some kind of pilchard. Amber's half pilchard, which is why she got bullied at school.

Be fair, they have every right to crow about how they overcame British rule, abolished slavery and single-handedly defeated the Nazis with... [reads post] ...democracy and non-violence.

Chris called her Nisha, which led Susan to think she was Indian. Susan then went a bit racist, but invited Nisha for dinner, learned to cook a curry and then was relieved to discover that Venetia was not only white but from a wealthy family.

The creators of Friends knew what they were doing when they named a character Joey. Ableist bastards.

A Yank unironically called me a "colonizer" last week. Me, the son of an immigrant who colonised a house in Kent. As far as I'm aware, my family wasn't responsible for displacing the previous tenant.

I haven't listened to the podcast, but I'd take a punt that it was Margot Boyd (Marjorie Antrobus).

If that was my only point you'd still be arguing against, just as you have consistently done for far too long now.

The point of mine was to point out that the term you were using was one that contributes to the fear and hopelessness felt by some British trans people and contributes to their high suicide rate. If you still don't understand that, even arguing against it, I hope you never call yourself an ally.

Although I didn't know that you're Jewish, I was poking you to see if you thought it was okay to be on the receiving end of what you were dishing out. You got angry. That was the irony.

There are as many different opinions from trans people as there are trans people, but it doesn't surprise me that you don't understand the concept of nuance. If you read that thread and decided that shouting "TERF Island" for lolz is worth the harm felt by some trans people... *sigh* You do you.

What is it you said earlier about wilful misinterpretation being contemptible? Yeah, it's not xenophobic to point at TERFs in Britain, but your dismissal of the opinion of a British trans woman made it clear you don't give a shit about that, you just want to score points against the Brits.

You're right, I can't win an argument with an idiot. I expect if I block you you'll say "haha I win." So maybe I'll let you have that one. Do us both a favour.

I didn't disagree that it's full of bigots (for the avoidance of doubt, it is and the loudest ones are getting funding from the US), but it's very obvious you don't give a shit about them, it's only about point-scoring. Because you didn't like a Brit pointing out your lack of universal healthcare.

It's cute that you can downplay calculated malice as foolishness.

You've been using the persecution of trans people for xenophobic point-scoring from the start. If you don't see how contemptible that is you must be... American. Oh.

Except Johnson had the education to back it up. Anyone who falls for his comic bumbling schtick is an idiot. He's a sociopath, but he's not a fool.
