James Kirkup being fab, again

here

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere - there's a lot of news this morning what with Jean at the fun Terf War event and the C4 documentary so I thought I'd post this as an example of what careful, thoughtful journalists do. They take their time, go through lots of boring footage and use it to skewer the total brainlessness of the TWAW gang.

Again thank you James for your diligence and intelligence.

I'm still gobsmacked at that "souls" comment. How can one of our elected representatives be so stupid? And so ignorant? Some of us have thought so long and so hard about this issue, and read the evidence, and she comes out with something that is just embarrassing in its naivety. If I knew so little about a subject, I'd choose to keep my mouth shut.

I know this is not the place, but can I just highlight that actual natal women with beards (even male pattern full on beards) do not get hair removal on the NHS, however trans women....
Despite the huge psychological distress, bullying and harassment those may women may endure, they s need to shell out thousands for permanent hair removal, as may I tell you a 5 o'clock shadow on a female 23 year old is not a good look....

Bravo James!

He is so fab.

Of course the irony (if I am using irony correctly...

is that when she said "I dare say that some women have beards" - she was quite obviously referring to - you know - women. i.e. the non penis folk - because the sentence or the logic doesn't work otherwise.

idiot.

That is brilliant.

And useful too that James Kirkup's main focus is the democratic process, and so his writing has a wide reach amongst decision makers and followers of politics.

I understand that Layla Moran is expected to be the next leader of the LibDems. She has a top flight educational background in science.
