Thanks for sharing. A quote, if I may.

Meanwhile, Rachel McKinnon, a male who has recently changed his name to Veronica—or as I like to call him, Ron

[marvellousnightforamooncup]

I know. I find it so refreshing to read an eloquent, witty article by someone not afraid to be criticised for stating the bleedin' obvious.

Sorry, I did t realise it wasn't clicky. Thanks Petra.

[RoyalCorgi]

Great piece.

[Cuntysnark]

Just read that out in its entirety to Mr Cuntysnark. Our agreement is that it’s s faultless piece of prose.

[Joisanofthedales]

Great article

[Floisme]

That's so good. Thank you op and thank you Glinner.

[NellieEllie]

Yes, great article. Conveys the right mix of robust sanity and disbelief at the bizarre insanity,

[loserssaywhat]

Thanks for sharing that op. It's heartening to hear people talking about these issue.

[Stooshie8]

Yes, it's heartening to hear the truth for once.

[Manderleyagain]

Does anyone know what the event was?

[HollowTalk]

It's such a good article. I have a daughter who's 30 and I think she's a bit of a handmaiden - this isn't a topic we discuss but she did tell me I didn't understand it One day I will show it to her - god knows when that'll be, though.

[Imnobody4]

Think it was a conference by Index of Censorship, must be the last organisation standing. Jodie Ginsberg the CEO wrote something for the Fair Cop trial if I remember rightly.

[AutumnRose1]

well, he's very honest in saying that he thought the Right were truth deniers....but I was quite puzzled by that to be honest.

I'm not a huge fan of how Left and Right are established......too much "put this value/flaw in this box" going on, whereas it's all just ...humanity.

[PotteryWheel]

Go Graham.

[RubyViolet]

Thanks, this is definitely worth sharing. Cheers to Graham.

[Redshoeblueshoe]

Thanks Glinner

[Imnobody4]

Sorry , for accuracy, it was the Comedy and Free Speech event!

[GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman]

Great article. Lucid and clear and witty.

[Cocolapew]

Thanks for sharing

[marvellousnightforamooncup]

He said on Twitter it was an Index on Censorship talk.

[SheeshElection]

Winced a bit at the use of the word ‘lezzer’ though to describe Martina Navratilova? Going for the laughs I guess as this was a speech. Wish he hadn’t though.

[SheeshElection]

But a great speech otherwise.

[AFairlyHardAvocado]

Have googled but can't seem to find info online - does anyone know reliably if the Oxford toilet sign is real or a clever piece of satire. I pray to god the latter. Otherwise we have in black and white that women have less right to a safe space than anyone else.
