Dear Julie Bindel, perhaps gay men supporting trans women is not about misogyny but about solidarity. Perhaps it is one of our abilities as people to empathise with others and call injustice where we see it beyond our own skin and beyond the constraints of our own identities.

FYI back in Portugal, teenagers can be given puberty blockers from the age of 12, start hormone therapies from 16, undergo surgery from 18, and change their gender in legal documents also from age 16 simply through self-ID.

Let me show you. Here’s a couple of passages from the original piece. As you can see, the studies are not about “desisting” (which it sounds like “detransitioning” in how you put it) but about rates of *persistence* of GD in follow-up studies.

Honestly, how ridiculous is it that a letter signed by Foucault seems to be the reason to destroy queer studies but the fact that Simone de Beauvoir also signed it doesn’t seem to be a reason to destroy feminism?

Listening to Charlotte Gill talking to some guy called Andrew Gold on his podcast about how I have been funded to research gay men having sex with *actual* pigs in barns is making me laugh like I’ve never laughed before. “Journalism,” truly.

Can everyone retweet this until, I dunno, the mainstream media might like to ask Rishi Sunak/ Penny Mordaunt why we are funding a Portuguese professor researching gay porn ABROAD and previously funded him to research how pigs are sexy? And whether Labour will do the same?

You guys I ordered this pink kufiyya from Hirbawi, the last remaining kuffiyya manufacturer in Palestine, and it is a thing of beauty! 🖤

It’s rather rich for @UCEA1 to call on @ucu to “carefully consider students” when growing numbers of academics, especially those 1st-gen and without family wealth, are increasingly indebted and losing quality of life.

So I would go as far as saying that the cis blokes who buy the expensive and loud sports cars are transing themselves in some way; the cis gay boy bullied in school (me) who learns to speak a certain way and walk a certain way to stay safe is transing himself in some way;

Finally this. I know you may not have had access to the actual review article that was cited by the review article you’ve linked here. I do, however, have access to it and—guess what—your 3rd-degree digestion of that article implies things that aren’t really in the original.
