How about we employ someone to teach it for us so we can sit in violently comfortable armchairs knitting and eating pastries?

This is why I now crochet more than I knit, because I can work my ends in as I go with absolutely no additional effort.

But have you WOVEN IN all the ends?! Have you BLOCKED the sweater?! 😂

I don't want to doubt this is real, but I've seen so many lies online over the years that I no longer just go, 'oh, OK' and accept what I see without question.

Regardless, I hope the person targeted can get some fucking peace and that transphobes will just stop with their violence and vitriol. /4

If so, that the media:

4. Dedicates the same amount of time, resources and *ferocity* to share this account of events, and offers apologies and compensation for their part in stirring up and 'legitimising' even more transphobic hatred in this stupid little country 3/

If so, that M&S:

2. Really was this supportive, and this person hasn't been directed to post a version of events online that shows colleagues and company in a kinder light than was deserved

3. Make their retraction of the initial apology to the transphobic customer known widely and publicly 2/

No more Internet for you, if this is what you're going to do with it.

I'm looking forward to sitting down with it later on! And I've been there - sometimes, it's hard to tell if one of the kids has been at something or one of the hounds... 😬
