What is Arachne thinking?? I don;t understand how people can so spectacularly fail to see the implications of the arguments that they're making...

On the one hand, you have Lucy Masoud who, as a black lesbian, has faced god knows what obstacles to progressing in the fire service. And who, as demonstrated by her role in Grenfell Tower, has far more courage than the rest of us put together. And on the other hand, you have pathetic brainless narcissists like Arachne who whine every time someone “deadnames” them.

This one made me laugh. (from under the Indie article)

I think its really worth considering the differences between the author Yas who is very young (there's a reference to being 4 yrs out of school very recently) and Arachne 1960 (who one might guess is a older!) in the comments.

I’m totally confused; the writer says she has never felt comfortable in any ‘binary space’. Ignoring Scottish susie’s comments that even according the the writer’s own blog this is a lie, what does she want? Can she only feel comfortable in spaces where there are both male and female people?? But presumably not because she doesn’t identify as either..?? So she will only feel comfortable surrounded by other non-binary people?? Seriously, wtf would make this poor thing happy?

Did someone seriously just call one of the Grenfell firefighters 'violent thugs aligned to the nastiest in society'? And say they couldn't see how a lesbian woman could possibly be an LGBT rep?

Keep posting on their comments folks!

We need to tell other people out there.

Actually, not even tide turning. Just people realising you CAN say 'but that's a man' without having to then hold hands with Nigel Farage for all eternity.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 22/03/2018 11:09

And the comments are great! Tide turning!

I think I love Scottish Susie.....

To present their case, the author has to misrepresent Masoud. Then in the comments you have a very prominent voice whose approach would meet with Goebbels' approval.

Business as usual.
