This article breaks all of MN rules but I hope it is still OK to post it. Please warn me if you think there's a problem. I want to avoid the naughty step this time around.
I won't quote directly from it as it consistently "misgenders" JY.

Isn't Yaniv mates with one of Twitter's bigwigs? There's your answer right there...

DarkNoise purely because the TRAs threatened Mumsnet until it caved to their demands.

I have posted this question in another thread but perhaps it's worth asking here too:

Sorry I do not mean to derail but genuine question: why are we forced to use pronouns we dot agree with, or where there is evidence of the contrary? My work is evidence based, in simple words, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, why am I forced to say it's a swan because they say so? This is where dogma and the inquisition begins.

Great article from Meghan, and good to see her in a mainstream publication. I agree with every word (including the pronouns).

What is misgendering anyway? He is a biological male (and it seems, pervert and a pedophile, and a racist too, let us not forget). Since he is not reading this, it is not a matter of courtesy to use a pronoun that does not reflect his sex identity. If Mumsnet thinks that I have to pretend this guy is a woman, I am out of here.

What a fantastic subtitle!?

"The unwaxed 'trans woman'"

Touché, Meghan. 😉
