Two timid conformist men congratulate each other
I listened to this chat between Jon Ronson and Adam Buxton yesterday out of mild curiosity, but then my hair stood on end when they got to this bit:
“You absolute shits,” thought I. “You smug, indifferent to women, callous shits.”
The tweet a few hours before that one was to retweet the UN shouting “TRANS LESBIANS ARE LESBIANS”.
Simon Edge’s quote of GL from Tough Crowd hit home for me:
I’ve been involved in a long-running offline conversation with a friend who has a great deal of difficulty understanding the issue with trans ideology and its impact on women. He has a tendency to generalize everything, turning things like advocacy for single-sex spaces for women into keeping people away from groups of people they don’t like. That women as a class have a unique set of problems, regardless of how you prioritize problems, is a very tough sell for him. It is a frustrating conversation.
