I've name changed for this as it's obviously outing (or at least linking across platforms).
I'm just here for a gripe, really. I commented on this article this morning and it's just been unceremoniously deleted.
It said (almost word for word) that while I didn't think that 'hate crime' as a concept is helpful, if we're going to have it, it's outrageous not to include sex (as a protected characteristic) and that not including it precisely because it's too prevalent is outrageously craven.
Not that this should matter but it was the most recommended comment on that article and I found that quite heartening.
I honestly can't fathom what could possibly have got it deleted and am disproportionately annoyed by it.
If anyone would like to pat me on the head / share their own tales of unjust deletion woe (on platforms other than Mumsnet, perhaps - I'm not looking to start a civil war!) please join me in my aggrieved muttering!
