The Argus, a local paper in Brighton and Hove, reports:

Police have made an arrest after online threats to kill campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen.

A Twitter account in the name of Layla Le Fey posted threats to the campaigner also known as Posie Parker.

Here’s a surprise. The story had said police arrested a woman after the online threats. It said it just a few minutes ago, but now they’ve changed it. There were many objections and I’ll be damned for once someone paid attention. Unfortunately they do say “a woman” later in the story. Inch by inch by inch we’ll win this war.

One tweet said: “I’m a trans woman and I’m not ashamed to admit I’d be happy to physically kick the s**t out of you pull your eyes out and break your spine.

“I live in Portslade, East Sussex, UK. If you want to prove your point that some trans people are extremely violent, I’m game.”

Women rarely do that kind of thing, and women rarely even threaten to do that kind of thing, probably because we know we can’t carry through and because the threat might attract violence to us.

Another tweet made a threat to burn down her house. “I’d be interested in setting fire to her house with with her in it,” the tweet said.

That’s a threat to burn down her house and kill her.
